New Roommate and a Day Off

So today we got a new person to replace the one roommate that moved in to a one-bedroom apartment here in Chatham Square. The new roommate is named Mathew and he hails from Colorado. As part of getting a new roommate, Price Management, the company that maintains the apartments for Disney, has sent a cleaning crew over and they are now turning our apartment upside down and cleaning it all. Well, I guess I have one less thing to do now. Work on Main Street USA has been a lot of work but at the same time rewarding. I have helped a lot of guests with not only merchandise but locating things to do, characters to meet and help them have a more enjoyable vacation. While I am technically off today but I am picking up some extra hours at Epcot at Mission: Space, one of the best rides ever in my mind. Well, off to Epcot.

Congrats Tim!

Also in order for today is a congratulations to my brother Tim who has just completed high school. Tim just graduated from Hopkins High and is off to Bowdoin in Main in the fall. Congrats Tim!

Congrats Norm!

Well, this is a shout-out to Norm who had his first day on stilts in Disney’s Animal Kingdom parks, “Jammin Jungle Parade” yesterday. Way to go Norm, sorry I missed it due to work. Here is the picture from Norm’s roommate Mike:

One Shift Down

Well, last night was my first shift at my work location. For those that haven’t read my updated About Me page, I work at the Walt Disney World Resort in Merchandise at the Emporium on Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom. Last night our trainer said it would be nice and slow. If slow means lines out the door then I am going to hate to see busy! Anyways, it was a fun time. I got a lot of expereience working with guests and the registers. I have another training shift tonight before being off on my own. I think this is going to be a great time here. I’m off to meet Andrew and some of his friends who are down from Disney’s Hilton Head Resort where they all work in Recreation for the summer. Catch you around.
