Oooh Zac Efron....

I got up this morning and started packing for the trip tomorrow. I had to go to work around 2. It was a pretty boring day at work. I didn't have very many princesses. I pretty much avoided the chairs as much as I could. I was kind of tired, but after work we all met up at Downtown Disney to go see 17 Again. Adam also ended up meeting us down there even though he was the only guy there. I think secretly he wanted to see the movie and I was just giving him an excuse haha. I LOVED the movie, but it could have been because of the beautiful Zac Efron, but it actually had some pretty funny parts. 

After the movie, Adam and I just walked around Downtown Disney and looked at the new balloon attraction thing there. It is the highest attraction on Disney property. It takes people 400 feet up into the air and then comes back down again. Apparently the whole thing lasts about 20 minutes. It would be neat to do, but it would be slightly terrifying.

An Uneventful Day

I had to drag myself out of bed around 10:45. I had every intention of getting up and getting an oil change, but needless to say that did not happen. I ended up getting up and just taking a shower and cooking some food to take to work. 

I went up at 1:45 and got my first princess. I felt really awkward because she clearly had some medical condition, but I really didn't know what. She was the cutest thing ever. She had no hair and got a diva, which is good I guess because a fairy tale would have been awful - especially since she wouldn't sit still. The time passed pretty quickly surprisingly. I had a cute princess who was half Brazilian and half British. She was the cutest thing. She just wanted to be Cinderella. I also had a few princesses from Texas. I got pulled up to podium for a bit, which is always a good way to kill the time. 
I got an ER about 30 minutes early and headed back to the apartment. It really wasn't all that exciting. I am now watching Two Weeks Notice and then I will probably hit the hay.

All I Want For Christmas....

Work came so early this morning! I had to be there at 7:30. I started the morning filling the pink and blue nail polishes - woo hoo. Since it was sooo busy last night none of the tasks got done so we had even more work to do in the morning. I had mostly fairy tales today which is nice. I had one princess who was precious. When she walked up she said "I asked Mom for a Fairy Godmother for Christmas, but she couldn't find one." I said, "Sorry I'm late Princess!" It was too cute. She also had the best reaction of the day. It's one of those things you have to see, but it was adorable. 

I got off work at 1:30 and waited for Ebonee to get off at 2. Then we went to Epcot. We had every intention of meeting the Beast in France, but Ebonee had never met Mulan so we met her instead. Brian met us over there. We walked around Epcot and got in line for Test Track, but then decided to go to Hollywood Studios instead. Brian and I rode Tower of Terror, while Ebonee went to the animation studio. I looked for my hidden mickey, but I couldn't find it. It could have been in the other room though. 
We met Ebonee at the animation studio. We got to meet Friar Tuck, The Sheriff of Nottingham, Prince John, and Max. There were more characters out, but those were the only new ones. It was fun because there weren't any other people there so we just played with the characters. We had a mini photo shoot with Chip and Dale which was so fun. Also the Sheriff and Prince John attacked Ebonee. Apparently they remembered her from the day before haha. It was super fun. Brian and I then went and rode Rockin' Roller Coaster and Ebonee decided to head home. 
Afterward, Brian and I decided to get some food at DTD at Earl of Sandwich, which is always delicious. We ran into Ebonee's roomie Meghan. So we sat and ate and chatted with her. We then just walked around DTD. We ended up jumping in the cupid shuffle for a bit. It was nice just walking around. We also saw this awesome saxophone player. He was playing pop music and it was so neat! 
We came back to Patterson and went up to Ebonee's. Laura was there with some of her Colombian friends and they were cooking food and trying to teach us spanish, but it really wasn't working all that well. I called a night and I am now currently watching Miss Congeniality before bed!

Walk Out

I took Ebonee's shift so I worked from 8-7:45 today. It was absolute craziness. I didn't even have the last princess and I left at 7:48. We got so behind it was ridiculous. I did pretty much all fairy tales, which is nice and thank goodness the last one was one. The mom thought she wanted the diva, but she chose the fairy tale. The managers were crazy. I would walk back to wash my hands and I would be yelled out to get back out on the floor. One actually pushed a FGIT from backstage still drying her hands to a chair. So stupid. Other then being ridiculously behind, I did have one huge bummer. I had my first walk out today. The girl was 11 and from Ontario and they were staying at the All Star Movies in 101 Dalmatians. They tipped me and then I took them to cash wrap and he stood there and started taking his wallet out so I left and washed my hands. When I came back they asked me where they went. I tried to find them outside but they were already gone :( It was weird. When I walked outside I ran into Alex and Tom, which is completely random. The whole thing is just a bummer. I don't think they didn't pay on purpose. I think they assumed it went on their hotel bill because they booked the appointment through their hotel. So hopefully there is a way the whole thing can be fixed. 

After work I tried to ride Space Mountain since it is closing down, but the ride had actually gone down and I wasn't going to wait around for it so I just headed home. I was a bum for the rest of the night and went to bed because I have to be at work at 7:30 tomorrow.

Down the Rabbit Hole

I had the day off today thank goodness. Let's just say this morning was a bit rough. First, I was woken up at 8 and couldn't go back to sleep. Then Ebonee texted me around 9 and I got up and we headed to the mall. We had to find costumes for Carolyn's birthday party, which was Disney themed. Ebonee and I decided to be Anastasia and Drizella (the step-sisters from Cinderella). I really wanted some greasy food on the way in, but everywhere we stopped were still only serving breakfast. Yeah - we were up that early. We shopped around and finally found matching pink and green dresses at Forever 21. I also discovered a new store called Papaya, which I have fallen in love with, but anyway. We then went to Claire's to buy huge jewelry, but could only find necklaces. Ebonee had to go to work at 1 so we went back to Patterson.

I started getting my SAS stuff together so I could send in my scholarship applications. Geez that whole process is the most stressful thing and I am not even doing half of it. Dad is doing the most of it - which I very much appreciate. Thanks Dad! 
Once I got everything together, I had to hunt down a FedEx so I could send it overnight (in the end it turned out it didn't even have to mailed overnight - Curses!) Well the first one I tried to find didn't actually exist even though it came up in Bon Qui Qui. So that just added to the stressfulness. I finally did find one and got everything squared away. 
Then I had to run back to the mall to get flip flops from Old Navy and some earrings from Charlotte Russe. Then I stopped in at Don Pablos to say hello to Adam. We chatted for a bit, but then I headed to MK. On the way, I swung back by Patterson and grabbed Ebonee's curling irons and stuff for the party. Then I met Bart and Lindsey at MK. There was a super bad accident by where we got on and off the cast member bus. I know at least 2 people were injured and that's only because I saw them being loaded into the ambulance from the bus, but I haven't heard anything else. We rode Space Mountain and then they stayed while I went to Katie's apartment to get ready for the evening. Katie did Ebonee and I's make-up and my hair. She did a fabulous job! I also wore fake eyelashes for the first time and that was an experience. 
Once we were ready we drove back to Patterson and dropped our cars off. The party was at Chatam so we just walked over. I must say I felt like an idiot going through security because I just looked like I was some girl who didn't know how to put on make up and decided to go out with a piece of cardboard in their hair (I was Anastasia - the one that wears pink). 
We made it to the party which mainly had an Alice In Wonderland theme. Carolyn was Alice and Katie was the Queen of Hearts. They decorated so cute! They had all the characters up on the wall and even the food was themed. It was too cute. It brought back memories of being an oyster. Dang I wish I still had that costume. I am sure it around somewhere. Other characters that were there were Mickey, Minnie, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Lilo, Jack Sparrow, Tinkerbell, Holiday Princess, Jasmine, a pirate and a few others. It was super fun. Of course Ebonee and I in some pictures actually posed like the characters do so we just had weird looks on our faces. I eventually had to peace out and walked home with Cattin. I had to be at work early, but it was still a fun night!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

I got up this morning and went to Magic Kingdom with Alana and Ebonee. We met the Fairy Godmother and then went into the boutique so I could get a Happy Birthday button and Ebonee and Alana got I'm Celebrating buttons. We hung out for a bit, but then went and tried to see the step sisters and step mother because Brenna was friends with Drizella. They were late for their set so we went to MiSiCi and shook our tail feathers. There was a little girl across the street from us who wasn't even watching the parade. She was watching us and thought that were the funniest thing ever. She was adorable. The early morning MiSiCi is better because there are less people or at least it felt that way. After that, we ran back to try and meet them, but they had already closed their meet and greet line. So we sat and watched. Watching the Tremanes is entertaining. At one point, this little girl thought that they didn't sign her book, when they had just signed on the same page. Drizella said look we are right there and I am first. That is when Anastasia looked out into the audience and said "First is the worst and Second is the best and third is the one with the harry chest, but I think Mother shaves it." We all died laughing. She was hilarious. I finally had to leave and go to work. 

Work sucked. I was ready to punch a baby (haha Jess). I mean there were times where I just wanted to go in the back and cry. There was one bright spot at work where a Princess sang me her own special birthday song. Her name was Kayla and she totally made my day. 
After work, since it was a terrible day, I just wanted to watch Wishes. I thought it was at 9. Ebonee stayed with me. Well wouldn't you know that Wishes was at 10. We rode the carousel, Snow White and something else. It was terrible because Ebonee wanted to leave and get ready to go out. But she ended up staying with and watching wishes, which was good. 
We left after Wishes. When we got back to my car Brian had come and decorated with streamers and balloons and wrote on all my windows. He did such a good job! Apparently mom had called him and asked him to do it. We headed back to the apartment and got ready to go out. When I walked into Brian's apartment everyone was waiting and they all yelled Happy Birthday! Then they showed me the cookie cake they had bought for me! I was so excited! It was way more then I ever expected. We all then went out to Bdubs. Ebonee sang Lady Marmalade and it was awesome. She killed it! Other then singing, lets just say that I had a little too much to drink. But it was a blast! It totally made up for being sick on my birthday last year!

Peach and Brown

I had to work from 8-7:45 today - so it was a long day. I did have my first black princess so that was interesting. Luckily, her mom was really cool and kind of helped my get her ponytail smooth. Also, the weather turned bad and we had a tornado watch all day. I think it was reported they had some tornadoes over at Universal, but we just had strong winds. It amazes me because people think that because they are in Disney World that nothing bad can happen even if there are tornadoes. Ebonee and I buddied up on a British Princess and she was the cutest thing ever. When Ebonee finished her hair the little girl gave her a drawing that she had made on the plane on the way over. It was the cutest thing. Ebonee was super excited. Then there was our last princess. Her mom is a cast member and works for ABC New York. They lived in Brooklyn. This little girl was terrible. She was throwing a hissy fit because she didn't want her mom to take pictures of her during the transformation. So I did some covert operations and secretly set up the mom's video camera on a ledge so that it caught the whole transformation. I finally got her calmed down while Ebonee was doing her hair. Ebonee is a better entertainer then I am so I switched places with her. This is where it gets interesting. Ebonee was telling the princess how me and her were best friends. That is when this little girl shocked us all. She looked at Ebonee and said "But how can a peach and a brown be best friends?" We were all shocked. We didn't know what to say. Ebonee then just called Sam over, who had no idea what just happened. Ebonee wanted to see what the girl would say. It truely shocked me. The mom was like "Did she just say what I think she said?" Yep mom she did and it is all on your video camera that I set up. I mean she had to learn that somewhere and it is most likely from home, which is sad. I did that little girl's hair as fast as I could and got out of there. 

After getting over the shock of being called a peach, I went home and was lazy. We passed our cleaning inspections - they even left us some fruit roll-ups because we did such a good job, which is guess would be more exciting if I liked fruit roll-ups.
