Made it to Epcot today for a couple of hours and went on Test Track and Mission Space, they were both really good and worth the long wait times! Still need to do the Pavilion where there is a United Kingdom section for some fish and chips but I keep forgetting I'm here for 3 months and keep trying to cram everything in to one day! Also had the craziest bus driver on the way home! He literally nearly crashed 5 times and lost his way countless times, took double the time to get home, but everyone applauded when we FINALLY got home!
Planning on going to Typhoon Lagoon tomorrow as I have yet to have visited a water park which should be good as you can swim with sharks there! Also made it to the gym which Chatham Square has and its open til 1am which is good for night owls like me!
Going to do a list of things to do for the newbies that are coming out soon! But here's a few photo's of the last few days.

I haven't yet been to Epcot, but I think its safe to say that the Magic Kingdom is still my favourite park! I haven't quite decided what Magic Kingdom is the best out of the 3 that I've been to (Florida, Califonia & Paris) but you can't beat it. Space Mountain is definitely best in Paris but the Alice in Wonderland attractions are better in California & Paris. But you can't beat the Castle in Florida. So glad that I finally went on Splash Mountain and it was brilliant, can't wait to take the parents on it when they get out here in 2 weeks! Met a few characters this week including my good friend Minnie! Can't wait until my next paycheck so I can finally go crazy in the gift shops and the mall! Bad news is I'm having my wisdom tooth out tomorrow :(
Here's a few photo's from this week!

Well its been a couple of busy days, barely had any sleep or spoken to anyone! Started out in Disney Traditions yesterday afternoon and can't give too much away but it was so much fun learning even more about the company and Walt's legacy (although I know quite a lot already!). Our table/ team won the most of the prizes in the class and generally all had a great time exploring the Disney University which is filled with old memorabilia and a gift shop!
After traditions we headed into the Magic Kingdom had a chilli cheese hot dog from Casey's on Main Street USA, then headed over to Tomorrowland (which I found out where I would be working) and went on Monsters Inc, Buzz Lightyear, Space Mountain and the People Mover. During all the there was a huge downpour of rain and hail as well as thunder and lighting so we thought it would be the perfect setting for the Haunted Mansion which is still one of my favourite rides! End of the day we went to the castle to see the new light/ projection show; Memories which was the best thing I have ever seen! It was amazing! Just in case none of you are planning a trip to Florida before October, don't watch it otherwise as it'll ruin the surprise, you can watch it here!
Then today was our first official day as Cast Members of Walt Disney World (the Magic Kingdom, to be precise) and we got to tour the Magic Kingdom before any of the guests were allowed in and found out some really interesting facts about the park (included on a later blog). Then I got taken over to Tomorrowland to get accustomed with my new home! I found out I would be operating the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor (which is hilarious!) Buzz Lightyear, The Carousel of progress and Space Mountain! All in all, had a fantastic day but my feet are killing me!
