Ok so I got deployed for the last two days. Usually it is for a week but in my case, I was sent to Pirates of the Caribbean Merchandise for a grand total of two days. It’s fun to have experience else where but, I always feel glad to go back “home” to the Emporium. Pirates is a busy location much like the Emporium but, you don’t do the revenue the Emporium does. I had lots of small transactions instead of the bigger ones I am used to (don’t ask for more details please). So I will be turning in my pirate belt and socks for my suspenders and tie come Tuesday after today and tomorrow of being off.
In other news, Paul and his mom arrived yesterday and I got them checked in to the Pop Century Classic resort for the weekend. Paul starts on the WDW College Program on Monday and will be an attractions host at the Haunted Mansion. Today I visited JK at work at the Track and now I am just relaxing for a bit before I head over to the Magic Kingdom to meet up with Paul and his Mom. Only another week until I go home to Minneapolis! Yay!

Ok, so it has been a LONG time since I got a chance to even sit down and write. This is the last week of 6-day and I am so happy about it. I was off yesterday which was my first real day off since last Sunday. I got a chance to sleep in a bit and then I met up with my friend Steve from Eckerd and we hung out and did our thing with our computers and chilled at the mall and Downtown Disney for a bit. New CPs are coming in finally so we are back to 5-day weeks next week. I am at Pirates Merchandise this Friday and Saturday though and then I have two days off to hang out with Paul when he arrives. Still having fun though and love what I do, that’s what is important I guess. Now, back to laundry, lunch and then work.

Well, before I talk about Hurricane Charley, I need to first say good luck and goodbye for now to all my college program friends that have left or are leaving. Good luck and best wishes. Quoting Mickey Mouse, “See you real soon!” Now on with the storm. Walt Disney World Resort faired very well in the storm. We had no catastrophic damage and suffered mostly from damaged signs and uprooted trees. Someone from WDW Magic posted pictures here. We faired very well compared to some cast members that last their entire home to the storm like many here in Florida. That being said, let me now turn to work since both are connected. As those of you may know based on my previous post, i was on Ride-Out crew at Wilderness Lodge on Friday night. I worked on Saturday and even got extended since park hours were increased to meet the demand. Surprisingly, It is said that 70% of all cast members showed up. I think that shows dedication after a storm. Things are returning more to normal at work as well. Park is now closing at 9pm and soon it will be 8 and 8:30 closes. Rock on! I was off on Sunday so I got my hair cut on Main Street USA like usual from Mical and then I enjoyed my day off. I am now working the next 9 days until I get another one. Got to love overtime! Well, time to get some dinner and may be get ready to go out. Talk with you later.

I am now back home after being released at 12:45 from work after arriving around 1pm yesterday. I was part of the ride-out crew at the Wilderness Lodge Resort for the storm. There is quite a bit of downed trees across property and closer to home, we have not only trees but downed street lamps, stop lights and signs. Currently, the parks are anticipated to open on Saturday at the regularly scheduled time of 9 a.m. That’s all for now. Bed time now.

Due to Hurricane Charlie and my deployment to the Magic Kingdom resorts, my goodbye post will be delayed until tomorrow pending the storm.
