Magical Moment

Tonight we had a guest come in with a front desk member. We were informed of a problem in the resort, which I am not allowed to say, and the guest needed a lot of new items from the shop. We went to great lengths to get everything this guest would need.
It's not every day you have a family standing in your store so anger/frustrated/and upset that you feel that no matter what you do it won't be good enough. 

Well being that we are only a small resort gift shop we did have everything they would need, so we charged the front desk for everything we had and my leader took her own car and went to the closest store to buy them everything else they needed. They were so thankful, we said we would call their room and let them know when she was back. 

When my leader returned about 30 minutes later she said she needed to speak to me. I didn't really understand why, I mean she just need to call them. 
Instead she had me hand deliver the bag to the guest. The husband was soooo thankful. But it wasn't until the wife came out to see me that it really hit me. She burst into tears and just kept repeating "Thank you so much" over and over. When I got back and told my leader this she just smiled and asked how it felt to really make magic for someone who had lost all hope. 

I received a four keys fanatic card and a moment that touched my heart. 
I was thankful for a short second to be working on my favorite holiday. 


Radio Silence and Privacy

"Sometimes the people around you 
won't understand your journey. 
They don't need to, it's not 
for them." 

Sorry I've been kind of radio silent for a while. There's been a lot going on that I am not supposed to talk about (yes, mom you all ready know) that stems from my work location. So with that being said I haven't really done much. I know I said I would try to be posting more but I haven't really done a whole lot that wasn't cover in my vlogs on my youtube channel. I will list all the recent video below this somewhere. 

It's currently Halloween, when did that happen? Wanna here something scary..? Christmas starts tomorrow for me here. I don't know how I feel about TWO months of Christmas music. I can barely stand the month of it I have to deal with back home. Like I am pretty sure I may die this month. 
I spent most of my days off doing something in the parks or at the resorts, but its mainly all in my vlogs so again, I will list them. But here's a few photos. 

"As soon as I saw you I knew there would be an adventure."- Winnie the Pooh
We 100% had to get at least one photo here before Christmas started. 
So I shared this moment with these two beauties. Don't mind our faces, the sun was literally
hitting us all in the face. 
So first I made Amber put this on her head in the Contemporary. 

So it was only fair that I put something equally, if not more, embarrassing on my head 
at the Grand.

At Art of Animation we met some cars characters

But we mainly climbed on, and into things that said 
"Do not Climb" or "No climbing please." 
I clearly can't read.

Okay, so the second part of this blog I consider to be a tad bit more serious. I am not a very private person, heck, I have been putting my life on social media for the past almost 6 months for the entire world to see. I do not consider myself a private person. I do however value my privacy when it comes to my personal belongings. That doesn't mean that I won't let someone use my things from time to time BUT I would appreciate it if someone took the time to ask to use my stuff before doing it. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone for this, because I know its been happening and I have no actual proof of who is doing it. But it seriously drives me crazy. End rant I guess. 


Thanks for reading! Have a magical day

The story of my 21st Birthday.

It all started at Applebee's with a waiter named Jeremy. Who was actually very attractive, so I can't complain. I kind of wished we had gotten a photo with him, but sadly we did not. We got there at 11:30 and I had to sit there and wait while everyone else with me, besdies Whitney, got to drink. We counted down from then on until it was midnight. I got my first legal drink : Fireball Whiskey Lemonade...
I don;t know what made me think this combination was actually a good idea but it was a terrible idea. Most disgusting thing I have ever tried, didn't matter though because we told the waiter that I hated it and he took it back and took it off my bill. Spent the rest of the time there dancing and drinking strawberry daiquiris. Lindsey someone how convinced me to do a Washington Apple Shot. It wasn't the nicest shot, but hey shots are shots right.

The next morning we got up, got ready, and of course was late to my own birthday event. But all in all my birthday at EPCOT was amazing. Today I feel like my liver has left on a vacation but, it was well worth it.
There's way to many photos to include them in here, but you can see them all in my Vlog, which will be linked below.
I survived the world show case in EPCOT, and I didn't throw up on my 21st birthday. I did something right.
Although, I honestly can't wait until my first weekend back home with the chance to go out and celebrate with all my friends and family.

 My 21st birthday.

Five Months (Two days late)

It never occured to me that I didn't write my "Happy 5 months" blog, although I did post about it on facebook. So this is the story of my five months at Disney. 
I plan to keep this one of the shorter side, as I have often done a lot of look back types of blogs lately. 
So here we go. 
There was that time I met Alice, and nearly cried, 
I could have left the program and moved home that day, because 
all my dreams came true in that moment. 

The first time I actually waited to meet Marie, with 
a childhood friend, whom I hadn't seen in years. 

That one time that Duffy apparently broke my heart. 

That one time my roommates had been using a pancake as a 
ball and I found it in my shoe the next morning. 

I have had a lot of ups and downs so far on my Disney College Program. I have made friends, lost friends, said goodbye to friends. I've learned a lot about myself, I've grown a lot. I've gone on adventures, explored, and made life long memories with 5 of the best roommates I could ask for. I've had fights with the same 5 amazing roommates, I've butted heads with everyone of them. And although at this current time I am not overly close with any of them, besides Ashley, I will always look back at the good times I did have with, and remember those times. Who knows what will happen there, 2 and 1/2 months is a long time and things can change in the blink of an eye.

Home situations and enjoying life.

So since my blog about 'change is in the air' things have yet again changed. We had are meeting and it went surprisingly well. No one was fighting, it was a calm environment. The housing ladies were really nice, they even bought us cookies, which let me tell you were soooooo goood. So after about 45 minutes of this meeting we ended things by agreeing to make a chore chart and agreeing to have verbal communication with each other and no longer try to resolve things via group messages or regular text messages. 
So with the housing situation under control everything seems to be getting a little bit better. One day at a time right ? 
The house is clean, and that's really all that matters. 

So now, I am focused on planning my birthday and celebrating it my way. and having a really good time even though all my friends and family from back home can't be here. 

I recieved two cards in the mail today, one from my Grandma, and one from my Aunt Tammy. So thank you both very much, again! And I also got a gift from Lauren tonight at work, which was a really well thought out and thoughtful gift. So thank you again Lauren! 

My birthday is now TWO days away, considering I am writing this at 1:37 A.M. 
and I am soooooo very excited! 

That's all my life really consists of right now, nothing extra amazing has happened. Just clearing things up. 

Have a magical day everyone.

It's a new day.

"Don't start your day with the broken pieces of 
yesterday. Every morning we wake up is the 
first day of the rest of our lives."


I've decided to gain a new outlook on this program, because begging to come home because I am miserable is getting a little old. So now, I am not looking at this program as I have to survive X amount of days until I get to go home. I'm going to look at it as there's X amount of days until this once in a life time journey is over, so what else can I do in that short amount of time. 
I have been waking up every day worried about 'stepping on someone else's toes' or being so stressed about trying to keep my apartment cleaning that I haven't actually been living for me. I mean, yes, I do get to go on adventure to the park with some of my best friends. But I am usually not actually there I am always thinking about other things, or the things that I could change. 
Not anymore. 
The remainder of this program is going to be about me, every day is a chance to start over, to recreate something I've almost ruined. So instead of being miserable about having to go to work, or cleaning, or not getting to do something because I would rather have food money, I am going to make a difference in how I see this program. 

I still might not be able to do much, considering I really don't make very good money...But still there's a chance I could actually do a lot more than I think I could. 

"Some people just come into your life
and you just know you would 
never be able to replace them
if they left."

I just want to take the time to acknowledge three of my bestfriends on this program: Ashley, Amber, and Lindsey. Who through every step of this program no matter what was going on have always stood by me. They are the people I am going to miss the most when I leave in January...Because I know I won't have anyone in my life as special as these three girls. I have a lot of other friends here that I will miss dearly, but I know that I am going to remain in constant contact with these three. 
You don't find friends like them very often, that would move hell or high water to change the world for you. So thank you ladies for continually having my back through anything and everything that has hapened on this bumpy road. 
I love you all very much. 

on that note, I am off to get ready for my strange shift at work (1:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M.) 

P.S. My vlog apparently took over three thousand minutes to half upload yesterday and still has another 400 and something, so it probably won't be up until tonight...fingers crossed nothing changes on that! 

Have a Magical day!

Adventure is still out there, somewhere.

I've always wanted to take one of these 
Iconic balloon photos. 


Someone once said "You don't have bad weeks, you have bad days. You need to take it one day at a time." So even though I feel like my whole world is kind of crumbling beneath my feet I somehow made the best of it for two days. (*Too further read why my world it crumbling follow the link at the bottom of the page!)

I will only be posting small bits and pieces of the two days in this blog, as I will also be making a vlog about it at some point when I have a couple extra hours. 

SO lets go! 



After making a trip to a housing meeting my morning started here.
With a free Starbucks thanks to Amber's rewards card, and of course I took proper care to make
sure they spelled my name right. 
P-R-I-N-C-E-S-S 
(A.K.A I am basic)

After I large blow up in my apartment and another trip to housing, we decided we needed to go on an 
ADVENTURE. So we caught a bus to the Polynesian resort, so that we could catch the monorail 

This would of course lead to us exploring a little bit of the Resort gift shop. 
Where we found this giant mirror, which just happened to be perfect for a photo session. 

Once on the monorail we sat and got a history lesson about the four parks 
from our driver because we were being held at the station due to work being done 
on the yellow train which was in the Magic Kingdom station. 

When we finally reached Magic Kingdom I once again proved how basic I am. 
P-R-I-N-C-E-S-S A-R-I-E-L 
With a pumpkin spice frap, with three pumps white mocha 

We then learned what Space Mountain really looks like, and 
even though I said I would never go on it again, I probably still will be, who's afraid of
a couple metal beams. 

We also learned that the Pooh ride makes you feel like you are on
hard core drugs. Like WHY IS THIS A KIDS RIDE
I then went with my two favorite people, to meet my favorite fairy. 

We waited for a while to meet up with family members that were visiting.
(Tom & Karen, their son Bobby, his wife Melissa, and their children Chris and Richard)
We spent the rest of the night wander magic kingdom and riding some rides, Ashley was there too, just didn't want to be in a family photo.
Goodnight Magic Kingdom.

Good Morning Drama

Haters gonna Hate-hate-hate...
I clearly caught a case of the Taylor Swifts with everything going on 
in my apartment lately. So after a morning of unnecessary drama I'm just gunna 
Shake it off. 
Besides I was off to Hollywood Studios for more adventures


Like taking really bad photos with my main man Walt.

Celebrating Melissa's birthday at Hollywood and Vine
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, again
(Which was sooo yummy, thanks again!)


Staying to see my FAVORITE show that Disney has to offer
Fantasmic. PLENTY of videos will be in my up coming vlog.
And riding my favorite ride, three times.
