Magic Kingdom


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!

Disney Hollywood Studios


I thought I'd take this opportunity while I'm ill to update some of my blog! Love the Hollywood Studios especially the Tower of Terror, its so much different to the Paris one & can't wait to take my parents on it! Also went on the Great Movie Ride & Toy Story Mania which was amazing! Can see why it always has huge wait times! The best parts of the day were the Art of Animation studios along with the little exhibition dedicated to Walt Disney's life and work. I always love finding out more about Walt the start of the Disney company so I recommend everyone go see it!


Also the shops were amazing there! Saw a couple of Alice in Wonderland statues and drawings I want to add to my collection as well as the robes from the Tower or Terror, definitely buying all of them when I get paid. The end of the night we finished with Fantasmic which was amazing!!

Poorly :(


Not having the greatest second week as my wisdom tooth is causing a lot of trouble! Can barely talk and can't eat at all so had to call Disney to postpone my training, which they have been really understanding about! Having the tooth out Monday so hopefully I will have a speedy recovery so I can get back to having fun in Florida! Looks like its a week of staying in bed and taking lots of painkillers!!

Disney Traditions & First Day In The Magic Kingdom!


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!


Here's a few photos

Kitchen Sink Full Of Ice Cream!


Tonight we went to the Disney Yacht Club & Resort and it was amazing! It overlooked the board walk (which i haven't visited yet!) and had its own beach where you could watch Disney films on sun loungers! We then went to Beaches & Cream and had the kitchen sink ice cream! It had every scoop of ice cream, all the toppings & a whole can of whipped cream, thank god we had 9 of us to dig in. We also just walked around the resort as it was so beautiful and we are definitely returning soon as we get to use the pool any time we want!

Here are a few photo's from this evening
