Wow, has it really been almost a week since I last posted? I guess so. Well, I have been busy as usual at work. We have been super busy the past couple of days and I have no reason why. No holiday and no special events; just people. I have been in the stockroom the last two days and will be back on registers and runner this week. Anna is coming in to town later this week for the weekend which I am really looking forward too and then as of this morning, it looks like I will then be deployed to Tomorrowland Merchandise for at least the next week. Lots of people starting to pack up here at Disney World and I am not talking the guests. Spring Advantage cast members are beginning to depart and new CPs will be arriving soon. Wow, it’s already been 2 months since i started. Seems a lot less though. Well, I need to get back to a paper of class. Catch you all around.

Still Here
Well, I finally have my day off. It was a rough end of the week last week. First, i found out we had to out one of our dogs down at home and then the next day, I find out that one of my close friends decided to take his own life. Ran some trips around town this morning and to the Mall at Millennia and now, I am just relaxing. No specific plans for tonight but, I am looking forward to just hanging out. Perhaps I will put in a DVD or something but I don’t know. It’s raining right now so that leaves out going to a park. Hmmmm…. what to do.

Goodbye Scott
Scott William Vollink
October 14, 1981 to July 10, 2004
Scott, you became one of my closest friends over the past summer. I just can’t believe that you are gone. I was hoping to come visit you this coming year while you were at school. I guess that wont be happening now. You are now in good hands with the Lord. I’ll miss you.
Scott, I know you are gone but, I also know that you will always be with me and others in our hearts and memories. I think the below song from the Lion King Musical will always remind me that your passion and memory will always live on.
He Lives in You (Reprise)
The Lion King [Original Broadway Cast]
Ingonyama nengw’ enamabala
Night and the spirit of life calling mamela
And a voice just the fear of a child answers mamela
Ubu khosi bo khokho [This is the throne of our ancestors]
We ndodana ye sizwe sonke [Oh, son of the nation]
Wait, there’s no mountain too great
Hear the words and have faith
Have faith
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you

Goodbye Buddy
Buddy
October 1992 – July 15, 2004
Buddy recently was diagnosed with cancer in his chest and this morning, Mom and Dad made the decision that it was time. Dad said that Buddy knew it was time as well. Goodbye Buddy. I know you lived a full life and I know you will be missed. I’m sorry you had to get cancer before I could come home and say goodbye. I’ll miss you as I know Mom, Dad, Tim, Camper and the rest of the family will.

Back to Work I go
Well, today I head back to work after a nice relaxing day off yesterday. I got the chance to sleep in and then met up with Andrew who was visiting from Hilton Head and Clare and Anne who were also off yesterday at the Magic Kingdom. Killed some time there before we seperated and went to get my haircut on Main Street USA again and then went home before the rain got too bad. Relaxed at home for a bit and thenw ent to visit Jonnie at Epcot and pick up a few DVDs at Downtown Disney before they went back in to the vault for 10 more years. Jonnie and I were going to get together after he got off work but he needed the extra sleep so I just made plans to hang out with Clare and Anne some more. Overall, it was a nice relaxing day.
Now I am just relaxing before I head in to work tonight at 18:00. I work E-Ride and then I am stocking so that means I am out at 03:00, yes folks that is 3am in the morning! So hope all of you have a good night sleep while I am working.

Good Deals & Extreme Home Makeover
So this morning I didn’t sleep in. Jonnie and I got up at the crack of dawn to head to the Cast Connection/Property Control sale where the company sells off overstock and damaged items. The sale itself was for overstocked items. I picked up about $120 worth of merchandise for only $25. Not too shabby. I got a nice $70 blanket/throw for only $15 along with some nice posters. After the sale, Jonnie and I went in to the Magic Kingdom and did a few rides and check out the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea construction (see My Mobile Album for pictures) before heading back to Chatham Square. Where we went our seperate ways and I met up with my suitemate Matt and hit the pool for a few hours. Wow, you don’t realize how nice it is until it hits 115ºF on the heat index!
After our cool down, Matt and I went off to Target and the Mall at Millenia to get some nice new stuff for our apartment now that our problem roommate is relocated. We have cleaned up the place fianlly and now have put out the nicer posters and items we had been hidding from the roommate and we now feel like a home rather than a dorm room that is the same as all the rest.
Tonight Matt and I are heading to Downtown Disney and to Pleasure Island for Cast Night. I have to work tomorrow but the good thing is it isn’t until 19:30 but the bad part is that I am not out until 03:00 in the morning. Oh well, it is just the joys of working E-Ride night at the Magic Kingdom. Now back to the extreme home makeover!

Finally a Day Off
Today was my first day off since the crazy holiday weekend. What did I do? I slept in of course and then Jonnie and I headed out for an afternoon at Typhoon Lagoon, or so we thought. Severe thunderstorms and a park evac before we got there changed that plan. Ended up chilling at Jonnie’s for a bit with his roommates and then we hit the American Adventure at Epcot. We then got to see ASIMO from Honda. ASIMO is visiting Epcot till Sunday and is the most advanced humanoid robot int he world. He can even walk up stairs and mimic human movement incluing dancing with John Travolta playing in avideo of Saturday Night Fever!
I’m off again tomorrow so Jonnie and I are getting up atthe crack of dawn to check out the Cast Connection and Property Control sale going on at the Magic Kingdom Cast Lot to see what sort of deals we can get on overstock and other items. Then, Matt, one of my roommates and I are going shopping for stuff to fix up the apratment now that our trouble roommate is gone. That’s really it for now. More updates to come as I have time.

Happy 4th of July!
Ok so I know that it says 5 July for the date. What can I say, I just got out of work! So what did I do today? I spent today with 62,000 (That isn’t a typo) of my close not so personal friends at the Magic Kingdom working. Missed the really awsome Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks show but I shall live. My feet ache and I still have to work tomorrow for 9 hours starting at 17:00 today. Way to go me! Now off to bed!

Calm Before the Storm
Ok, I know I haven’t updated this blog in a LONG time. I have just been working crazy hours this week. For those that don’t know, this coming weekend is one of the busiest at Walt Disney World behind New Years. The Magic Kingdom is expected to reach capacity (60,000 guests) by 11am on Sunday. We have a 45 minute fireworks show planned as well. So knowing that it is busy, we all have beenw orking 6-7 days a week to keep up with the masses.
Having said that, I had the day off yesterday which was a much needed day to go to class and relax. Met up with Jonnie and hit Property Control where we sell overstocked and damaged/lost and found items. Some nice snowglobes I want but I didn’t need the damaged items. We then went to watch the Share a Dream Come True Parade and then over to Epcot before ctaching the new Harry Potter movie at Downtown Disney. It was a nice and relaxing day.
Now, I am just relaxing in my room until work tonight. I am working 19:30 till 03:00. Oh man do I love e-ride nights, NOT! Check out the Moblog for updated pictures that gets posted more than here.
