Playing Catch UP.

I realized after I started blogging again, once my apartment got wifi that is, that I never told ya'll what my actual role was. 
Well, as I have stated several times I got the role of Merchandise, which means I could have worked in any of the; Carts, stands, shops, and stores in any of the four main parks (Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT) Or either of the water parks (Typhoon Lagoon OR Blizzard Beach), any of the Disney Owned and operated hotels, or the board-walk. 
Well, my official titles is a Merchandise cast member in the All Star Resorts (Music, Movies, and Sports.) So I can bounce between the three gift shops (Maestro Mickey's, Donald's Double Feature, or Goofy's Gifts and Sundries) 
I started my training on Memorial Day, and it was really nice. 
We got our costumes that day as well, and I will tell you ladies (PLEASE TAKE NOTE if you are coming down or plan on applying) That Disney's sizing is REALLY weird. It fits true to size for men. But women, that's a whole other story, They say "be per pared to leave with a little less self-confidence." (Which I did)
I'm not lying to you when I say that the woman's clothing is TWO-too-THREE sizes larger than you actually are. If you were a size 0 you may be in a size 6 (witnessed this). We also had a not-so-nice cast memnber that decided because she was having a bad day that she would take it out on us. She sized almost everyone wrong, and made them feel horrible about their bodies no matter the size. 
Just because my group and I had a bad experience it does not mean all Costuming Cast Members don't care, because we did go back the next day after telling our leader about the incident and her deciding that we were not actually in the "Disney Look" and the woman that helped us find new costumes were the NICEST people I have met so far. 

My costume is absolutely hideous, but it's still fun. 
So today I worked in Maestro Mickey's and had a blast. We had a dance party, and we were encouraged to sing along to the music playing in the shop. They have draws of some of the fun merch items we carry that the Cast Members actually play with on shift to show off the merch. 

Only down side is because I have been working a lot of early morning shifts I haven't been getting up early enough to cover my tattoo's so I had to choose the long sleeve option which is a coat.....so I have been melting at work. 
Not to mention the costuming lady told me if I get any make-up on my costume I have to pay for it and I could be termed for destruction of property (not entirely sure if this is true, and I haven't asked my leaders yet, but just to be on the safe side I haven
t tried it) 

I FINALLY met Ariel last night, and my god was she perfect! 
I did get pictures, I just haven't had a chance to upload them yet, but they are coming soon.

Have a Magical Day!
