Traditions

SOOOOO today was probably in my top 10 list of favorite days.

We had our "Traditions" class- all new cast members have to take this class and learn about being a Disney cast member. We had exclusive backstage tours of Magic Kingdom, met Mickey Mouse and learned all sorts of stuff about Disney- stuff I didn't even know! All of this took place at the Disney University behind Magic Kingdom- TOO COOL! We also got our nametags! EEEEIK

Flip your head I guess.

Anyway, after this we came back to Vista, I had some food, then we took a bus back to the Magic Kingdom- this time as guests!!

We took a BOAT to the MK from the Fort Wilderness Resort. It was so much fun approaching MK from the water- I've never done that before.

Sooooooo this afternoon was pretty much exploring the park like a giddy tourist. It was absolutely amazing. I went on some rides I've never done before like the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor and Mickey's Philharmagic. There was also a group of 12 of us and we managed to stick together.

Other highlights include:

-Riding Pirates of the Caribbean wearing eye patches Ken happened to have on him leftover from the Typhoon Lagoon party. SO FUNNY. I love Pirates of the Caribbean

-Singing "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" EVERYWHERE we went! 

-Not losing people despite being in a group of 12-ish

-Every ride that took on ride photos we tried to do something funny for... one group ended up being photobombed back by two people making out in the front! 

-Riding Space Mountain THREE times... the lines in general were really reasonable today!

-Riding Splash Mountain <3... Still my favorite :)

-Haunted Mansion was cooler than I remembered! 

-Eating supper at Pinocchio's Haus in Fantasyland

-You can see the construction for the new Fantasyland :)

-Had my first "Dole Whip" pineapple ice cream! I think I might stick with MK Popcorn in the future but I was glad I tried this :)

We stayed until Wishes and I cried. It was so beautiful.

I know this is really short but I was up really early and tomorrow is really early for more training. It's so hard to describe how amazing it is here. Being in the Magic Kingdom all day got me so excited to start working there. I saw my costume today cause I creeped on the restaurant and I'm even excited for that. It truly is the happiest place on Earth here! I am so lucky to be able to do this all summer long. We create happiness :)
