you've got mail.

I dont know if you know what postcrossing is but beyond checking out its website (www.postcrossing.com) im not going to go into to details except to say that i am very very very excited to start sending out letters when May rolls around. It have already started thinking of different things i can do for postcards and stuff that include disney and it is amazing what you can go with disney stuff and a piece of cardstock. Thank goodness there is a post office right around the corner that will allow me to do them a little more. :) Everyone should join. If i had Mickey Stickers and park maps i would get started right this minute. But i think im going to just create a routine out of doing them, especially if i am statused at Magic Kingdom. Oh well. I love mail so this is how we make it happen.

Auditions

I am not really looking for anything to happen. Im just going to go an hopefully have fun. I am nervous as all get out because i dont like auditions at all and if i could just get over the whole things id be really happy. The other thing that sucks is there is no movement for air so i end up feeling terrible because the temp difference between the "holding room" and the dance room is quite large. Anyways i am excited for a chance to try again. I have been measured at different heights, by the same doctor measures me at different heights to so to be honest i just hope for the best. First time i was 64.5 next i was 65.25. Im hoping that i will be closer 64 again. bryant is loving his role as i waste away doing school work. And that makes me very happy. Today he is able to have a new experience and every week he seems to be doing something new which must be extremely lovely.

Accepted 3.0

I was accepted once again into the Disney college Program. I know good grief who would want to put themselves through it that many times but to be quite honest I basically love it. I would rather be at disney full time going to school part time then in Pennsylvania loosing my mind part time and going to school Full time. Anyways. I got accepted as a Character Attendant. I am very nervous about the whole thing because honestly I thought that they would not consider me for attendant what so ever. I dont know. It is weird and I am excited for new oppertunities but it will be interesting to see what I get to do. I am going to email casting and see if they will place me at Magic Kingdom because the hours are good there and there is plenty of options to do at magic kingdom.  Meet and Greets, Parades, Dining Im sure there are more options but still it would be interesting to be a part of that part of memories which is most kids remember characters they meet at Magic Kingdom over anywhere else. Sooo... we will see what happens. Request are not guaranteed but it doesn't hurt to ask right?

Crazy Around here..

It has been crazy around here. Last week I had a whole bunch of school work, some of which Ill admit I didnt do because It can be held off for a little. Tuesday I got accepted into the Disney College Program. Wednesday my school money was put into my account which was good because then I could have paid my fees for the DCP. On thursday my mom and I went to Orlando and looked at houses and looked at apartments and it was a little cra-cray. Friday I went to Magic Kingdom with Bryant and his cra-cray family. Saturday I went to Hollywood Studios with them. Sunday Bryant and I relaxed then came back to Jacksonville where we had dinner with my mom and her friend. Then Monday Bryant and I hung out then he went back to Orlando and I was very sad. Tuesday was Valentine's day and I have been really bust with school work because Blackboard will be down this weekend. BLAH!

[Bucketlist] Lights! Motor! Action!

So one of the things that I wanted to do while on my second college program that I hadn't on my first was go to Lights! Motor! Action! this is humorous only because I have never liked cars and stunts much. I find Indiana Jones Stunt Show to be mildly entertaining but only because it is so predictable and come on who does like Indiana Jones. Anyways Back to the point. So Bryant and I got up and got dressed and decided this is what we were going to do on one of my days off. Now from working in Backlands which covers stores that Lights Motors Actions dumps into I have learned that it is best to get liquids before the show starts. We were running late because I was taking my good old time getting back and then stopped at Writers Stop... (while officially writers stop is a coffee shop it fall under the classification of a merchandise store so you do get your 20% off as a Cast Member, just saying) Anyways I picked up poweraid and we went on our merry way. The show was packed. I dont know why I didnt think about this but it was on my mind and on my bucketlist so we were doing it! The show was okay I found myself zoning out. I can see why it would be really great for someone like Bryant who loves cars but I was just bored. I enjoyed seeing Bryant so excited so sitting in the hot sun was worth it but I would consider going to the show in like October when you don't have 100's of foreign tourist surrounding you. Not a good thing. Anyways maybe I just wasnt in the mood for it but you will always hear me telling Guest that its a really GREAT SHOW but I personally dont like it, because it is a good show its really well done just not my cup of tea. Oh and now apparently Lighting McQueen is in it, not Herbie. It appeals to the younger crowds but alot of the people who remember Herbie being in it seemed disappointed, shoot they were disappointed that we really didnt sell Herbie merchandise.

Top 4 Roles & Dream Locations

BBB: Magic Kingdom
Photopass: Magic Kingdom
Concierge: Polynesian
Character Performer: I love Magic Kingdom shows honestly but i know it is global.

I need to ramble

I dont really know what this post is going to be about. Its honestly not advice on how to survive being about from your boyfriend or girlfriend. Trust me I am not doing well with this whole thing. I know what I do to keep busy and I know what I wish were being done. I dont have any sort of ideas. Being a girl and sort of creative I have 100 things I would do for Bryant if he were in this situation.  But he is not the one in a different city with only school work to keep you busy. So I get frustrated. So if you are leaving your other partner for a few months figure out ways to make it work. I cant say that its still going to work out. I am only two hours away from Orlando and I have to do everything in my will power to not jump into a car or plane or anything that is moving in the general direction of Walt Disney World. But I cant. I know how busy you can be on the program I also know how you can not be busy. Buy a whole bunch of postcards and have them signed by characters. Send Mementos. I am not looking for plush or candy simple things like fast pass and the story of how you went around EPCOT and remembered this memory but also created this memory. I dont know. Maybe Im just use to being spoiled with love. But It doesnt matter because I just have to sit and remember Bryant is not me and he is trying. He tries and that is all i ask for.

Sitting and Waiting... Disney Movie Club

The hardest part last time was the sitting and waiting. I think the only reason that sitting and waiting isnt completely killing me is because I am going to Disney May 1st No questions or Comments. It doesnt matter I will be working seasonal hours at Disney until my check in date.. and lets be honest I will probably be picking up shifts in the backlands still. Anyways. One thing I did last time to make the wait until I got to go down to Disney was joined the Disney Movie Club.

Now when it comes to joining the Disney Movie Club I was very weary to join at first. Having to be on top of the emails that have you deny a movie I dont want.  Golly it sounded like so much work. Then I read into it a little more. You dont actually have to order any of the movies that come to your email. You have no obligation and trust me some of them are awful but other times they are wonderful. You can buy in bulk numbers and usually save money. This is what I do. I have done it twice. Not including the initial order from when you first sign up. So tip number 1: I would go to retailmenot.com and see if you cant find some discount for Disney Movie Club. So right now the Discount Code that seems to be the best deal when signing up is [17674D] It gets you 5 DVD or Bluray for 1 dollar. then your 6th movie for 6.95 and your 7th movie for 11.95. Now the initial order doesnt always have the greatest movies to pick from but I ended up with a lot of the Pixar movies and random disney movies that were on my list honestly so it didnt matter. So anyways back to Disney movie Club, I was glad that I joined. I now have 22+ Disney movies only 7 or so didnt come from Disney Movie Club. I usually order when the 40% off comes because the movies at 40% plus free shipping would be what my Disney Cast Member Discount would be with regular merchandise. Now the two year thing is really easy to do because you make 4 big orders in two years (Once everytime I movie comes out of the vault to be honest) and you should be set. I fullfilled my movie obligation with in a year because I made the mistake of not canceling two movies. One being Tron, which Bryant was okay with and the other being Cars 2. Much better than getting the Gnomeo and Juliet. The other ones I made bigger orders with the 40% off. I got a whole bunch of movies that I love and have a whole list built up for when the fall Disney Vault Movie comes out (CINDERELLA!!!) But if you love Disney movies like I do it is for sure something to consider. I pre-ordered my Lady and the Tramp with them back in early December and am so glad I did because I didnt have to worry about it now. But I plan my orders and I just wait for the 60% off (once your a VIP member to hit) and usually I try and wait for the free shipping too but in any case. Join Disney Movie Club. It would be awesome if you used me as a reference so I get stuff out of it too. Contact me via message on Facebook: Catherine Brunner from some town in Florida (It changes) cause I love free movies just as much as the next person. So anyways if you have more than 5 Disney movies but have a list of movies you want. Even if they are adult movies distributed by a Disney  Company, and there are a few of those. I would just consider it. So maybe ill hear from you about join. If you have any Questions leave Comments Below. My list of Movies is on the side. I didnt put which ones I got through Disney Movie Club but non the less it is still a good Idea. The biggest tip I can give you is even if they are only offering 40% off if it comes with free shipping it is a good Deal. Thats the thing I find to be the killer is the Shipping. 40% off with free shipping can equal in savings what 60% with no free shipping is.


Another way that I kill time is I do school work and I write in this blog. I have so many blogs half drafted on a piece of paper. But I dont know it just seems silly to put them all on here. So Ill just continue with writing what comes to mind. I know some people are not into blogging and vlogging but do something to be able to keep the memories in your head. I have a journal. and a blog. I find both to be really helpful. :) Do something even if it is just a powerpoint slide show. I am very excited to be hearing about my interview mostly because there is no fear in not being able to go back. I am more excited than anything. March 28th in apparently my audition date. It is a wednesday. I am not nervous really I just dont like to think about all the work that goes into getting down there.

I dont really have anything else to talk about. I am very excited to hear back and you'll probably hear back from me before then. If not Ill be watching Disney Movies :) TTFN

Phone Interview 3.0

Yes, thats right I finished my phone interview this evening. I had a shorter interview but the last two times they were 45 minutes and I had a women both times. Statistically women are prone to talk more during interviews from both ends. I am a talker but I tried to leave it short and simple. I think I did this. I picked up the phone and was very cheerful. I learned his name - Brandon - and we basically got started with the whole thing. I focused more on my work in daycare programs than my work in merchandise or costuming. I dont remember answering that many questions or having alot to ask. I just remember talking. Obviously there were some questions or else the interview would not have lasted 24 minutes but we talked about Photopass and Concierge but he didnt ask me anything about BBB so I asked him why he hadnt asked any questions about that. He seemed sort of surprised that I was as proactive as I was about that. His answer made me feel fantastic. I gave him all the answers he was looking for without having to hit the questions. I was really glad to see that he didnt spend alot of time focusing on random roles or even consider asking me if I would consider doing QSFB something I am clearly not interested in. I have a good feeling about the whole thing. We will see. I didnt hear him typing like in the past and it makes me wonder if they just fill in check boxes now. Hmm. Interesting. Well hopefully in a few weeks I will hear something. I am not nervous. Is that weird. Maybe it is because I am seasonal and there is no fear in it for me. Who know but I am just excited to see what happens. For now i will keep an eye on the auditions website. Grief.

Alright Folks Time for an Update

This morning the Disney College Program Applications went live. I mean the applications showed up at midnight and the Facebook group went a little crazy. I got really nervous but filled out the application and then went on to watching Mary Poppins. I dont know why I was nervous, maybe it is because I was selecting such limiting roles. I dont really know but I was. Now that it is done with I am not nervous but that because my Best Friend is coming tomorrow and I know that if this doesnt happen for me I still work for the company and I still will be moving there in May. So what do I have to lose give a great big smile and SHINE! So this afternoon at about noon i get an email telling me to take the web-based interview, but since i am seasonal with the company I had to call this number and get my application pushed through to the next round. YAHOO! So i get another email. telling me to schedule my phone interview. Thursday January 26th at 6:15pm. I am nervous but again what do I have to lose be my magical self and convience them that certian roles are WONDERFUL for me. So after Thursday I will update you all again. Fingers Crossed.

1.15.2012

Back at Step One.

I am back at step one. I am back at the application process. This list of roles is very selective. I am very very selective. I will be going to Entertainment auditions. I am actually going to be going to two. One for the College Program and one for full-time/part time. Since I am not living in housing it is not as if not getting the College Program is a problem its just another alternative to the list of options. So I will be doing that. I also am keeping my eyes out for another special audition that I am interested in going to and that everyone in my inner circle thinks is a good fit. So fingers crossed. Anyways. Next week. Last time I was very lucky to have heard a little more than 2 weeks after i applied. This time the application will be a little different. No E-Presentation that everyone loved so much. No Web Based Interview because I work for the company currently. Its a whole much of not necessary things. Hopefully that will benefit me. The roles I am looking to apply for are...

1. Character Preformer
2. BBB
3. Concierge
4. Photopass

I know everyone is like Oh those roles are so specific but this is my thing. If I dont get it then I will just go to casting and put in for a transfer in.

I am back in Jacksonville

Here I am laying in bed at 12:00pm. I feel like a bum because I am not out doing something but this is the situation. There is nothing to actually do. I could unpack but I dont know where to put my stuff and I could be getting ready for classes but I strange as it seems was very on top of school stuff while down on my program. So now I am hanging out waiting for school to start as well as waiting for applications to come back out. I am startiing this process over again. This time it is different in that if I get in I will stay down there. Bryant is working and saving I will be saving money this semister. The plan is this.

May 1st - or the weekend surrounding it. I will be moving down to Orlando. I have two apartments in mind so that it good. One is furnished the other is not. I think in the end Bryant and I will go with the furnished  one even if it requires a little bit more money it doesnt bleed us dry. If I dont get the College Program I will be moving down and working seasonally but also I will apply for things with-in the company.  Hopefully I will get the college Program and it will not be any problem. I am only applying for a few things. Concierge, Photopass, BBB, and Character. I may add CA to that list but as of right now Im not sure. I know these are all very selective roles I just would rather work in my location as seasonal and apply for seasonal in the role that I ultimately want which is BBB, if character doesnt happen.  I know this is very much not interesting but I am excited to reapply. and go through the process especially since housing is not going to be happening.

Cook Book & SEASONAL

Disney World has some fantastic foods. I love and adore so really good things there. Some stuff I also just cant bring myself to pay for so it goes untasted. I have found a way around that though. I am going to try and make a cook book of all the recipes in disney world that I like. It will be deliciously available when I decide that I want to cook something but dont want to pay out the nose for it. Also when I am away from Disney World I will be able to say HAHA lets have 50's Prime Time Fried Chicken and Milk Shakes! Stuff like that. So now comes the task, which I will have time for once I go back to jacksonville for 5 months, to collect all the menus from all the restaurants and start selecting recipes that sound delicious!

OHH! I should also tell you guys that I got seasonal status with Disney! I am very excited because then if I dont get the College Program like I am hoping I still have a job here when I come back in May. My plan is to pick up a shift sometime before then so that when I come into town I will be able to come into the parks and play with Bryant without much of a hassle. EKK! There is one thing I should tell you guys. If you want seasonal status you have to be a pain in the butt to your managers. It is not as easy as hey can I go seasonal, in most areas you need to  have a manager who will email all the managers , so find you College Program Manager, and then all your managers will say oh yea (s)he was an good cast member or blah blah blah. then they need to look at your record card and see if you meet transfer guidelines and then you can become seasonal.  Anyways there are guidelines and I am sure you all will recieve a post about what that consist of in the near future. But for now I start my list of yummy recipes that sound good.

Last Two weeks of Program

There are many things in this post that I could write about. Today was the last day I will have the opertunity to go to a disney park because I have a busy work schedule this week and next (Work). I might not be extending but I have a few different things planned that will hopefully potentially work (Seasonal) (Another CP). I also have a post that might not be helpful unless you are accepted into the program but hey why not include that stuff in here too (picking up shifts). You never know it could be helpful for those who work for the company in general.

Work: When you get your work location dont make any judgements on it that you have made about the area as a guest. It can be a whole new ball game once you work there. I love my work location. Not because I have any interest as to what we sell but because I love the cast. They are so much fun and really do make the area so much fun. Other areas look like lots of fun as a guest but It is not the case when you work there. Normally I get about 35-40 hours a week. That is of course when I dont give shifts away. This week i have 41 to start with (My goal is to end with 50). and next week I started out with 45 but picked up two shifts and am keeping a very very close eye on the HUB to see if more pop up. I have now have 58.5 but when looking at new years eve I want more like 16 for the day instead of 9.5. Anyways I am really honestly trying to burn myself out before I got back to jacksonville and sit around daydreaming of Bryant's day and waiting for the letters from my love.

Picking up shifts: Its fairly easy. You go to your work schedule to make sure you know hours you will not go into double time. What is double Time? Double Time is another over 16 hours in a day and a shift that starts or ends with-in 8 hours of your the day before or after that shift. You go to the extra hours area and start looking. Now I only pick up shifts in my area because I dont pick up shifts on my days off. Some weeks it is really hard to find shifts other weeks it is beyond easy. The other thing about picking up shifts is if you are taking a shift from someone then you cant go into overtime. Overtime is another above 40 hours as well as another over 8 hours in a day. Which is really hard to do sometimes. Anyways. You'll get the process down after awhile. Some people dont get it at all but I just smile and keep moving along.

Seasonal: As a CP going seasonal is fairly simple. If you have the requirements to do such. The only thing is that some roles dont have a seasonal status so that kind of stinks but a lot of the roles allow you to go seasonal. I have talked to my managers and they said it would be no problem for me to go seasonal. Which to be honest is really nice because I would love to have an easier transition into the company again. There is a new policy that as seasonal you have to work 150 hours to maintain seasonal status so in theory 25 - 6 hour days. So my suggestion is to honestly thing if you have the time to come down and work 150 hours. The reason I will be doing it is because 1. Jacksonville is only 2 hours away. and 2. I am coming back to orlando in may- hands down so I will be in the neighborhood enough for it.

Another College Program: I would love to be statused somewhere but it requires alot of waiting and I would like to be able to try different things out in the company that are a little more focused on things I like to do. I would love to work in Concierge or BBB. Its like this. I want to own my own daycare someday and Concierge is helping people with plans and situations and making the services better for them. BBB, I would be working with kids which, I am an Early Childhood Education Major. Photopass is another one of those roles I would love to be considered for. I have been taking pictures all my life so its just one of those things that I dont know if it will ruin my love for it. But I will still try. The only thing about this next program is I will not be staying in Housing. I will be staying off property. Bryant will have lived in housing for a full year and it doesnt  make sense monetarily for us to not to live together.

I hope this fills in some blanks and answers some questions. I of course will keep thing blog up once I go back to jacksonville.. Because I will be starting the process again.

Disney movie Club & Holiday Discounts.

So as a cast member we recieve these holiday packages and cards. I swear the cards are all for show because they also give you this book of coupons and you need that more than i have ever seen anyone use the card. Anyways. This is fantastic because it allows you to eat at restuarants that are delicious! so anywho... Holiday Discount. We get 40% off merchandise this year. Which is lovely in its own ways but this doesnt include "Media" Everyone forgets about this no media thing so when guest want their 20% as premium pass holders and cast members want their 40% it turns into this whole things.. Dont get me started on annoying lady! anyways. This is why I suggest to guest who have young children or grandchildren and they want to share the joy of disney with them to look at disney movie club and see if it is worth while. Anyways. I am a member and I just ordered 5 or 6 movies for only a 100 or so dollars.

12.02.2011

so the plan.

This is a summary of how crazy my life will be.

December 5th-ish : Bryant's family is coming into town and we are suppose to go with them to the Christmas Party

Next Free Day off that isnt a weekend: I am going to casting to put in for Part time or Full Time at BBB starting in May.

December mid: My mom is coming down and we are going to see candlelight. I am also packing up a bunch of stuff so that my mom can take it back to Jacksonville with her.


January 3rd: I will be going back to jacksonville and starting 5 classes online including retaking this trig class that was WAY harder than I thought and didnt have the time to even consider.

Mid- January: Applying for another College Program in BBB, Photopass, or Character. Also I am going to Visit my Aunt.v

Beginning of February: Getting my Car

End of February going to Character auditions for Part Time or Full Time

Early March-ish: Going to College Program Auditions.

Early April I will have hopefully have some sort of answer toward one of these things and things will fall into place. If they dont I will still be seasonal, Hopefully in Backlands. But in any case my mom's lease in up in April so she will be moving to Orlando.

This is the next few months. I will not be living in Disney Housing because Bryant will have lived in Disney Housing for a year and will no longer be able to stay. and the whole reason that I will be potentially doing another CP is to guarentee some steady paycheck.

Plan wise it feels exhausting but really even if i accept the CP then they give me a full time or part time position i will be okay because the company doesnt look down on you for taking another offer within the company.  DEEP INHALE! I feel like this might actually work out. Here is to fingers crossed.

10.29.2011

Entertainment Auditions.

Entertainment auditions have come and gone and I am not surprised by the outcome what so ever. Bryant was pulled to stay which I expected and even though they didnt pull me I wasnt surprised they pulled him. They are not in need of my height range they are in need of his. 64.5 and 66.25 is a huge difference in this company and the fact that bryant is a male helps him out a whole bunch. Anyways. I am very proud of Bryant and I just plan on keeping trying. Until it just doesnt seem worth it. I will probably go to a less energized entertainment audition. (CP auditions are FILLED with energy) and try then. I get mixed messages about something I heard so I am going to casting probably on Tuesday to get my answer. Which might make deciding what I am going to do much easier. OH i guess i should say this. Bryant told the entertainment casting people that he would go any status so he could be a CP or he could not, its really all in limbo at this point in time.

Pictures.

I realised as I was going through I havent shown pictures in quite a while. So this is what that is... Most are of Bryant and Myself because Its so hard to get pictures of the two of us.


 we decided to do food and wine. (not whine) 
we finished our passports and thought of a great party idea.
 Epcot with my love.
 Bryant was turned into a frog ;) This was taken 10/01/11 magic kingdom's 40th celebration.
 Bryant and Myself with Minnie and Mickey
 Rylan and Jessica
 Two things I seem to enjoy beyond explaination. Magic Kingdom and Ice Cream.
 Bobby and Kelsey whom I work with an adore.
 My Birthday pictures. under the train station <3
 Bryant and Myself on my birthday. 
we got a whole bunch of pictures that make me happy.
 Bryant, Jess, Me, Emily, Nick
 Patrick, Nick, Me, Bryant
I love my fellow cast members.

Update

Ive disappeared but i knew this would happen from time to time. So lately...

Extentions: its that time of year where people have made up there mind. They either love it or it is definatly not what they expected. The other part you have to consider is do you love working foot disney but hate living in housing. For me i love working for disney but i dont like the work that it takes to live in housing. So the hopes are this... Extend my college program but not live in housing. Its the best option that allows me to not lose my mind completely. I dont know anything about extentions except for you can start applying for it on the 29th of october.. You only have a week to apply for one so it is very quick and if you miss it you miss it.

Entertainment auditions: they are this thursday. The sign in starts at 8am.. And i have a feeling there are going to be a ton of people going. I am going because i think its be fun to see how i do. I hate auditions and what not but 13 years of dance taught me if nothing else to smile. So anyways this is the kicker to entertainment auditions. You might pass the audition but not get your extention in entertainment. So they suggest that you put entertainment as your number 1 and then your other two options. Just dont make the mistake of putting entertainment as your number one if you know you didnt pass the audition.

Anyways thats been going on. No i have gone to a halloween party. And i may not. It would be tons of fun but i have so much school work that i am just surviving the whole process. I love work and i love school and its completely possible to maintain it all if you choose but i also choose to pick up hours when i says ill do school work. Tonight if i get moneyroom ill probably have to pass because i need to do a mathtest unless they just want me to process paperwork which i can do without any problem. And still be out by 845/900.

I think i found an apartment for this january which is furnished and right near property. I have to call my aunt and ask her about the gift she has given me. And start looking for a car. I am very picky and nervous when it comes to doing things im not sure about but i also get very excited. So this could be interesting. Ill probably let you know how entertainment auditions go but then again its two days away and it will be a long day.

Work: Break Down.

I guess I should probably out of all of these post tell you a little bit about my work location, if I havent done that already. I work in Merchandise. This is a very common role you might get when you go done to do the CP. But every work location is a little bit different in how the managers like to run things as well as how late you might be open. I know this probably sounds a little crazy because it's disney and every work location should work the same, but it doesnt. Anyways. I work in what is called the Backlands in Hollywood Studios. Its funny because when Im working its like oh yea no problem I can run that to the front of the park and back no problem. But when Im a guest in the parks its like you have just asked me to run a full marathon, it is so far back there. I love it though. I work with AMAZING people who honestly make me laugh 95% of the time even on a bad day. So from what I hear other work locations will actually give you a stock shift where you spend the entire shift just stocking the floor, or a register shift where you spend the whole shift ringing people out. Backlands doesnt do this. We mix things up and sometimes it can be the worlds scarest thing if there is an inkling of a chance you might get Build Your Own Lightsaber or have to go out to a cart that is HECKA HOT! but it is still amazing. The managers are so nice and I just love going to work.

This is where the question of: SOOO then why did you just have a 5 day weekend.? Well I was super super sick on Friday. I had worn myself completely out going to work sick the whole week and then I had given away my sunday shift so i could spend it with Bryant and then I had Saturday off for the 40th and my regular two days off Monday tuesday. So basically I became super lucky and just had everything fall in line. 

I honestly do love work because everything is sort of up in the air all the time. If you get merchandise you should see if your area will let you go into count. Its a nice break from the day and I love all of the night shifts I get because of it.  My night shifts are not like Magic Kingdom night shifts though,  or even World of Disney night shifts so maybe that is why I love it. When we close at 10 I am out at the Latest lastest lastest 12. and I normally dont start until like 2ish. Today for example I am in at 15:15 or 3:15 and I am suppose to get out at 9:30 (which means I am closing) but instead after checking the HUB this morning I am actually being pulled to count.

It all sort of depends on your work location, if you decide you want to count. I know in Studios we are the first area to close but we are also the last area to open. But then again we are 40% of the park so i guess maybe it is all relative.
