It’s Cold!

Wow is it cold! I am sitting in the warmth of my apartment with the heater turned on and set to 76ºF. Outside, the temperature is hovering around 45ºF before the wind chill is factored in. It is down right cold for Florida. I know my Minnesota roots should have me in shorts but, living in Florida has thinned my blood. Today I enjoyed a nice day off and walked around the parks a bit (Magic Kingdom and Epcot) before heading to the Magic Music Days deck for Candlelight. I sang in all three shows tonight with Eartha Kitt. She was excellent and was prrrrrfect for the part. For those that are wondering who Eartha Kitt is, she is a singer and is also known as Catwomen in the original Batman.

I am off tomorrow as well but will be picking up an extra shift at the Disney MGM Studios in the merchandise location at the Rock N’ Roll Roller Coaster. Only a little over two weeks left and still so much to do. I’ll relax after my shift and visit Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas party and then crash for the night before going to Casting on Friday to transfer to Full Time. I can’t wait! Have a magical night!

Caller Tunes

Well, today T-Mobile launched Caller Tunes. Caller tunes are not ringtones that the person recieving the call hears. Caller Tunes are songs that the caller hears while waiting for the person to pick up. So now my callers will here the song of my choice (don’t worry it isn’t that bad) while they wait for me to answer. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Holiday Cheer and Memories

Well, yesterday I had the awesome opportunity to sing in the Candlelight Processional with Jim Caviezel, Jesus Christ from Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ. He was amazing and funny at the same time. Before the second show, he came out and was joking around with the cast choir. After the shows, a group of us went to watch Illuminations and the special holiday ending. All I can say folks is that you will want to go see this ending. It plays the beautiful song ‘Let there be peace on Earth’ with lots of fireworks. In-fact, there are more fireworks in this last four minutes than in all the other shows on property combined! After the pyro display, Andy and I split from the group and went to go see Polar Express. Now, as a child I remember reading this book over and over. I really enjoyed the movie and it sends a message that you must believe. Great movie for all ages. Well, I am off to work the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party tonight so have a great week!

Holidays Around the World is Here!

Well, I know this is the day later but, last night was my first night performing with the Candlelight Processional at the Epcot Holidays Around the World Celebration. What an amazing experience. I am up there on-stage looking out over an audience of people from all over the world. Last nights narrator was gospel singer Kirk Franklin. It was so much fun! I know that I made the vacation for people in the audience and who heard me sing. Also, knowing that my parents and grandparents were int eh audience too was nice.

Mom and Dad came down for the weekend and both grandparent sets came up from Naples for a nice weekend with me at Epcot and the Magic Kingdom. It was a great time. Well, off to bed. Thanks again for a great weekend Mom, Dad and Grandmas and Grandpas.

Holiday Times at Disney

Well, the holidays are starting here at the Walt Disney World Resort. I know I haven’t posted in almost a week it seems but I have been busy with work. We are slowing down a bit after the rush at Thanksgiving and will start picking up again when we get closer to Christmas and New Years. Holidays around the World at Epcot is also started and I will be in the Candlelight Processional starting tomorrow night. Mom and Dad are here for the weekend and both sets of Grandparents should be up later today as well. Today is offically my Friday so I can enjoy two days off with my family since I wont be home for the holidays.

This morning I am at the Disney Learning Center in the utilidor at the Magic Kingdom killing time until I meet Mom and Dad for their tour at 8:45. I have been here since about 6 for the big Porperty Control tent sale where we can purchase new merchandise at 75% off normal prices. Can’t beat that! Anyways, I’ll post more tomorrow night after Candlelight.
