Work Locations

I dont remember what i had told you and what i have not told you so we are going to be starting from the beginning.

I work here.

 

if i had to choose a park to hang in all day as a guest it would probably be this one just because there is so much to do that is just simple and doesnt require waiting in long long lines. The food is delicious and its just over all a really wonderful park. So that is where i work.

My area is Backlands Merchandise. The area is laid out like so.

Near By :Merch Locations

Indian Jones Attraction: Cart and Truck

American Idol Attraction: Outdoor store

Star Tours: Tattoine Traders

Muppets 3-D: Stage One, Pizza Planet Cart, Christmas Shop

Lights, Motors, Action: Lights, Motors, Action Cart & Youse Guys outdoor store

Backlot Tour: American Film Institute Store, AFI Cart, Prop Shop

Sci Fi Dine-in : Writers Stop

There are a few more locations but i honestly have blanked on what they are. 

It is a very large area and although i am still in training i see myself liking it quite a bit. Umm... i think i like the star tours shop and muppets the best but thats also where i have spent quite a bit of time. 

I dont really know what else to say. Ill probably take pictures of my area as time goes on.

We have internet

I know i have been slacking on your guys lately. 

Things have been crazy around here.

They have also been amazing. 

I have been going crazy with work and training 

but it in the end i have been having a FANTASTIC TIME.

I have had the last three days off 

so i have enjoyed being able to just go out 

and enjoy myself without the "Stresses of work"

Work I am liking a little more every day.

You do a of computer work when you first get here

and with the late nights that happen it is not that uncommon

for you to want to fall asleep during those times. 

My work location is 40% of Hollywood Studios.

The area is called backlands and it consist of about 16 locations. 

These locations include carts they include stores.

They include food and they also have ride dumps.

If you looking for all areas of merchandise this area has what you need.

I didnt know how i felt about doing food.

But its basically a coffee shop.

Its got AC and its is fairly easy. 

CP's get alot of late hours but my managers seem extremely sweet.

I was half tempted to give two of them hugs the other night

but i feel like that would be creepy.

I am interesting in getting GT trained.

GT = general teller = money room

it seems like it would be a blast.

The people i am working with are pretty funny.

and compared to most people in the CP i get a ton of interaction.

Lets just say with the guest interaction this CP is a step up!

Bryant passed his lifeguarding exam which makes me extremely happy.

He is going to be deep water at Typhoon Lagoon.

it makes me nervous because typhoon has dozen of saves a week.

I think he will do fairly well with the whole things.

Fingers crossed.

I have pictures of a little photosession that bryant and i had in magic kingdom the other day. so here is one of those pictures and also a picture of me giving buzz lightyear a kiss and then a picture of bryant and i "discovering" the hat at hollywood studios. and the the group picture when buzz and woody pictures with me and my friends

No Internet

This is going to be a quick update because Bryant is in the shower and i am using the internet in his apartment. I have no internet apparently we will be getting internet soon. I hope this does happen. I dont know but this is the quick update. I have in the backlands of Studios which is basically a ton of places. I will have a picture of the whole area once I have internet to update. Anyways. Um I think im going to like it. There is a lot of change and the whole role is very different than costuming. Today my shift was 10-18:30. That is one thing you have to get use to here in Disney is the military time. Um tomorrow i have work 7:00-11:30 in the writer's shop. Its this cute little coffee shop. The im going to go to the magic kingdom and write bryant a letter since i think it is probably about time. But that will be after i go to costuming. So anyways lets do a breakdown of the last few days....

May 15th - Drove into Orlando
May 16th- Went to Downtown Disney with D-Fam and then went swimming at the Grand Floridian and watched Wishes at the Polynesian
May 17th- Beaches and Cream and Dinner at ESPN
May 18th - Check in
May 19th - Out and about
May 20th - Magic Kingdom & Blizzard Beach & Studios instead of Traditions because i was by-passed
This is where things get a little scattered so i am just going to say that once i get internet ill update you guys a little better. I have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off so i am definatly going to be working on getting shoes for work but then also going and working on bryants gift a little. :)

Going to Orlando

This title explains in all.
Bryant and I are going to Orlando today.
I will not have internet for a few days so expect an update or two on my tumblr.
i dont remember if the link is with in here so its [here]

Down to the Wire

So it is may 5th. That means we have less than 2 weeks until the Disney College Program picks up and starts moving. The reason I am making this post now is because for Bryant and I this is where life becomes a little crazy. I know I have been through what May looks life for us before but this is the other part I probably didnt mention.... So since Bryant and I are driving and we everything we own between us we figured we would just wait and get the things we needed once we got into town. Now for most CP's waiting until they get into town means going to the walmart. I did a post awhile back about my suggestions for doing that. If you arrive after the 18th still consider looking into it.I cant find the post right this minute so basically go to walmart.com create an account and then site to store everything to the walmart on SR 535. OK? okay!

So back to what i was originally trying to say. So Bryant and I are planning on getting there on the 15th. These 3 days are going to be spent getting things together so that when the time comes are are not S.O.L. We have to get things like Shampoo, Towels, You know all that stuff that you need to live clean. But yes, we will be doing that. and getting everything in order. =] I am exciting to be learning my work location soon. I am excited to get my HUB access again. I am exciting to be able to go to property control. and I am excited to be back at Disney.

So anyways. If you guys have anyway questions go to my tumblr [here] ... ask away. I dont really know what all to talk about until the time comes when we get to orlando. Um I should be making a video of the trip a little and some of the stuff we are doing while waiting to go to jacksonville and then while we are waiting to go to orlando. Its going to be a busy couple of days. You ready? So am I!

We are still waiting :| and its getting a little old.

Hey guys. So as i sit here while Bryant is in class I am trying to think of things to talk to you guys about. Then I realised that I havent filled you guys in on this fact... My Iphone doesnt have an app that will let me update my Blogspot.. unless i email or text it in... This is great and all but there is a much quicker, practially live feed from my phone using tumblr. So if you interested in that the link for that is... http://magicalmomentswdw.tumblr.com/ so visit there. I will still be doing long involved updates but the tumblr will have more pictures i have taken that might not end up on here. Yes i will still include pictures but i just thought that if your looking for a more involved minute to minute of my program that might be a better way to do such. There will not be much on there considering I'm not at disney yet but keep your eyes open come May 15th when i get to orlando. If you dont want a much more up to date thing and just want to follow here alone im fine with that, i just thought with my phone tumblr would be easier on the quick and easy but this would be better for more detailed stuff.. since well we know i can be a rambler even on the difficult days.

Guess What!?

No, I didnt audition so i didnt get character performer but a few of my lovely friends did and it makes me so excited that they did. It honestly puts butterflies in my belly because it makes me remember "IM GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!" anyways in the mean time i have school to finish. i have tons of doctor appointments. and ummm oh right i have to learn to drive plus all that work that comes with that... ewww. Anyways that's the next 36 days. Oh and in other news if im still seasonal, which Disney says I am... I don't have to go through Traditions again. Thats sort of exciting. Anyways... Im bored. I need to do school work but considering i dont want to even be up yet i dont think i need to be doing school work yet. I CANT WAIT FOR MAY 6th! I mean MAY 18th will be wonderful but im more excited for MAY 6th because it means no school stress and bryant is done with so it means summer is here!

Update

Hey guys,
I know its sort of been a little while since i last updated this blog. I have been slacking on all blogging fronts. I just finished my american government class at school. Thankfully that it over. i have 4 weeks left of my Chemsitry and then i will be once happy girl with 4 weeks of school left. =] Anyways I know you are not at all interested in my school life. So I just see if i can find things to talk about...

oh, i am going to check in to disney on May 18th and Jessica, was going to move into an apartment with me (wellness since I am not 21) decided she didnt want to risk being termed because of someone having alcohol in the apartment and since she is over 21 i totally understand it. I just feel really bad moving into an apartment and then once i turn 21 which is first move it date move on this person. So i dont know what I am going to do about roommates but Im sure ill figure something out. Im not worrying about it. 

Check in  dinner = I was talking to Jessica (yes, same Jessica and her blog is [here]) and the last few seasons people have done there check -ins at T-Rex or a quick service location. I didnt think T-rex was all that good of a restaurant and it is loud and cold (no thankyou when it is HECKA hot in florida) anyways, so i started looking around and thought that ESPN zone would be a nice alternative. Illuminations is at 9 your with-in walking distance from Epcot at Hollywood Studios. You can take transportation from disney resorts if you are staying property. It is a little less convienent with parking but that is manageable and ESPN zone is more of a sports bar so it is easier to socialize that way. Anyways Hopefully the dinner with be there. i think it is. if you need help with getting there contact me on facebook or on here or email me cbatwdw@gmail.com. anyways. IT should be a fun time. That is on the 17th obviously.
Bryant and I havent made our reservations for hotels but im not to worried there re plenty of places to stay on property and now that transportation is clear and we know we willl have all our stuff im not concerned.
Umm yea. I am still working on my bucket list. If you have anything you might like to suggest just leave a comment.
72 days and counting.
