I saw Cinderella Castle for the first time in eight years, and it's just as magical as the first time I saw it. That's one amazing thing about Walt Disney World, it truly is timeless. No matter how old you are, the magic of Disney sweeps you off your feet time and time again! It has a little more power over me this time around since I'm lucky enough to be spending nearly 40 hours per week inside Cinderella Castle for the next five months, which is something many people around the park envy!
The day started out EARLY, catching the bus to Disney University at 6:30 this morning, and heading to a 4.5 hour long lecture about Disney History and what it means to be a Cast Member at this amazing company. I also got the honor and priveledge of meeting my boss... I'm pretty sure Mickey Mouse is the best boss there is! Seeing Mickey Mouse is always exciting, no matter your age, and seeing the entire classroom erupt into thunderous applause and squeals of excitement when that mouse strolled through the door just goes to show how exciting one little mouse can be!
After a LONG afternoon of lecture, I skipped back to my apartment and had a nice Skype date with my one and only :) I don't know what I would do without the wonders of skype. Getting to see Ali's face every day makes being away so much better than if I couldn't see him. It's almost like being there, just not nearly as good! I'll be home in seven weeks to visit, I can already tell the time is going to fly!!
Ashley, Maggie and Sara all had afternoon Traditions, so we got all dolled up and hit up Magic Kingdom to watch "The Magic, The Memories, and You!" projection show and let me tell you, if there's one thing you need to see the next time you come to Disney World (aside from visiting me of course) is this show. It's only fifteen minutes long, right before and after "Wishes" and it is bar none spectacular. I was so memsmerized I couldn't even manage to snap any photos!
Ashley and I decided to hit up her new home away from home, SPLASH MOUNTAIN, instead of watching the remainer of "Wishes" after Tinkerbell zip lines off Cinderella Castle (which is terrifying to witness, that's one brave girl!) We got SOAKED, but it was fantastic! I've forgotten how much detail goes into the Attractions at WDW, it's really something.
The rest of the week is going to fly by! Tomorrow I get to sleep in (FINALLY!) with a Food and Beverage Core class at Disney U, which is thankfully only three hours, then overloading on Rock N' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror, followed by Fantastmic with my ever so lovely roomskie. I have my eight hour long "Once Upon a Time... Is Now!" Magic Kingdom orientation on Friday starting at 7:15a (another EARLY morning... bus leaves at 6:05a!!)
Settling in to have an awesome experience! :)
