Runnin a Muck

Ever heard of those improv everywhere people? if not i suggest you youtube that. We were able to join in on one of their shananigans today at downtown disney. We had over 1,000 volunteers.

It was epic!!

In the beginning...

Well, it's time for the madness to begin. Working I mean.
Time to be busy busy busy!

But before all the busy working while other people play, my roommates and I decided to make a couple of trips to disneyland before sunday. Here's some of the shannanigans that ensued...

Brown-nosin the Boss Man himself.

Workin the Cast Member Half-Off discount.

Here is actually a sneak peak at the new show in California Adventure called World of Colors... SOOO excited for this to come out!!

Now I'm ready to get to work!!
Here's my cute and very orange ID.

Then you have my very cute nametag.

AND I AM OFF TO TRAINING!!
(This is a sneak peak at one of my many costumes. haha)
So for training, it was crazy. We had a monsoon hit us, and I encountered my very first disgruntled guest. Funny story, and great that I got to experience it my first day! haha
My trainer was Mike. Mike has been with disney for many many many years. He is an old man. With the little hair that he has he likes to comb it over and add a cute little curl at the end. He was hilarious to say the least. More to come about him on my second day of training.
Then you have my Area Leader who was a cute little old lady that had a smokers voice. Her laugh almost made me die. She was the bomb and her name was Bonnie. Love her.
But that's it little ones. More to come I assure you. Disneyland is already shaping out to be very interesting. The people just never cease to amaze me!
tah-tah

Disneyland Tidbit #1

#1:
The statue in Disneyland of Walt and his partner Mickey Mouse was not built proportional. Walt always said that, "If anything I wish that I were just a few inches taller". So to honor his wish, his friends made his statue stand just a few inches taller.

Please Stop

Dear Flame Shirt Guy,
On behalf of the tenants in room 414, we would like you to please stop. Please stop waiting in the hallway for us to come out. Please stop walking into our place when we answer the door. Please stop facebook stalking us. Please stop stalking us. Please stop telling people that you want us. Please stop circling us at meetings like a shark. Please stop making cheesy pick up lines like, "There can be more magic in Disneyland....". Please stop chasing us down. Please stop.

-Sincerely,
Room 414
ps://Sorry, we're not into you.

settling in

So sorry folks for the late late update, I'm trying to settle in!!
Things have been crazy since me moving to Anaheim and what not. This whole, "you're completely on your own" chapter in my life is quite a challenge. But fear not. Things are lookin up!
I'll try to get pictures up of the place as soon as my roommates and I have made it more homely lookin. Disney has been AMAZING. AHHH! I'm just so grateful I got to be apart of the magic! So far we have done paper work after paper work, and now I finally get to start my training!! I'm super excited to get started in this wonderful experience!
As the perks of working for disneyland, we often get chances to participate in backstage shindigs and tonight was our first!!!! We had a chance to go on a whole tour through the park when it was closed. It was really amazing and I now know even more useless but interesting facts about Disneyland. :)
Here is a picture of my roommates and I during the backstage tour.
Melissa, Kelsey, Janell (my room roommate), and me!
They are a great bunch and really fun to hang out with!
More posts to come as things settle I promise... maybe...
