The past three weeks have really flown by! I've been busy, busy, busy. The apartment in Patterson is gorgeous, and my building is right up front by the pool, which is great. Between my 4 roommates there is never a dull moment.

Ive spent everyday (up until yesterday) doing training to learn my first venue "StormStuck," which is the longest and toughest script in Innoventions (I think its like 28 pages!) Stormstuck is a 4-D Theatre show about severe weather. I know I dont make it sound too exciting, but it actually is pretty cool. And I get to rotate every 15 minutes so I dont really have time get bored I get to; greet guests as they enter and answer questions, talk to my guests before they enter the theatre, deliver my show (my favorite part), and also I get to play a game-show style show called StormKit with kids. So much fun! Innoventions has many different "venues" inside of it, and next week I get to learn my second venue "Wheres The Fire" about fire safety. And if I close I also get paid to I watch "Illuminations" and Im home by 10pm! I LOVE IT!

Alot of people say that working for Disney ruins the magic for them, but I think its just making it even greater. Honestly, I think that I everytime I see Mickey Im twice as excited as the time before. And, I really just love those moments where you feel like youve really just made someones day by just remembering their name or telling a little girl just where and when she can meet her favorite princess. And there is always a guest who makes my day too. On my first night working Illuminations, I was walking toward the exit where we wish everyone goodnight with our big Mickey Mouse hands (and I love doing this so much I would do it on my night off) Anyways, it was just a great day, and I was having so much fun.I really did feel like the luckiest girl in the world. And this old man walking behind me talking to his wife, "...a Disney cast member, wouldnt that just be the greatest job, think about it Kathy, you know what...thats what I really want to be someday..." His wife just started laughing at him. Oh man, and I am such a sucker for silly little moments, but I was walking in front of him thinking exact same thing he was saying, and my eyes are getting a little teary.I looked back at his wife who is still laughing, and I say "You know hes right, it is the best job out there!" And his wife laughed some more. But he asked how long I had been working in Epcot, and I told him that it was my very first day-he congratulated me as if he was my father and I was 5 years old and had just learned how to ride a bike without training wheels. That was a moment I'll never forget.

...its time!!!

Hmm...well, for the past month, Ive definitely maintained my Euro snob attitude. I laugh every time a Kraft "American Cheese" commercail comes on, refuse to go a day without eating bread and all of my favorite stories to tell begin with the phrase "While I was in Europe..." And, Ive definitely been bitten by the travel bug once again, I keep catching myself googling Spain. Hahaha, well I really just can't wait for another adventure. Im getting stir-crazy.

Speaking of which, Disney! Disney will be a crazy, wild, unforgettable adventure starting in just 3 days!!! It needs to be mentioned that I screamed and jumped up and down the day I only had 125 days left in my Disney countdown. Its been nearly 6 months and Ive exhausted all of my Disney fantasies. I just want to be there and experience everything for real. Now there are only 3 days left, it feels...just epic. Waiting is making me anxious. I've researched; Ive read everything, blogs and books. I've nested; I crafted silly projects and bought new clothes and bedding. I even brushed up on all of my favorite G-rated songs. I didn't gain 40lbs, but, Im convinced that I know how a women must feel when she's 39 weeks pregnant...it's time!
