Wow, what a weekend! Yesterday, Saturday, I worked my normal shift in Delivery Services and then manages to pick up an additional shift working with Media Operations for Disney’s Grad Night 2005 Celebration. Grad Night is an event that Disney has been putting on for years that honors all the recent grads for the current year with concerts by A-List celebrities and a magical place to just have fun. So what did I get to do for my extra shift, I worked with walking MTV around the park and supporting their filming of the event for Total Request Live or TRL which airs weekday afternoons. The shots from Grad Night should be aired on May 2 I have been told. It was a blast and included doing crowed control at the concert stage in-front of Cinderella Castle and being a guard around Ciera as we walked with her and MTV for interviews. Other artists participating in the event were Yellowcard, Ryan Cabrera, and Kevin Lyttle. I can’t really comment too much about what we did but, let’s just say I had a lot of fun and it was a great experience. I hope to do more work with the Event group sometime in the future and they said they would welcome my help any time.

Well, what a week it has been. I have been working for the last 6 days straight and decided to treat myself to a nice relaxing day at Typhoon Lagoon with friends. There is nothing like sitting back in a lazy river and enjoying your favorite beverage. Worth every penny of it just to sit back and relax. Nothing else is really new down here in Orlando. I have been just keeping up pace with the growing crowds at Disney. More people, more hours. I have a vacation coming up in a few weeks to go back to Minnesota for a few days. I can’t wait. Well, the sun has taken my energy away and I have to work in the morning so goodbye for now.

Well, I am in the process of heading out the door to work today. I just looked on Portal and noticed that my shift was moved up an hour from when it was first posted. Good thing I checked I guess. I am still wishing my last two days off lasted longer than they had. Thursday I was busy with a few meetings at Epcot about possible career paths and then I headed out to dinner with a friend just to get away from the Disney area for a bit. Yesterday, Joe, myself and a few others were going to hit the water park but, the weather here in Florida is so unpredictable that it was too windy and cool so we went to Animal Kingdom, Disney-MGM Studios and Epcot instead before meeting up with Travis and Paul for Mini-Golf and then back to Millenia for dinner with more Innoventions people. Days off are always too short and now my next one will not be until Friday so I get to work seven days till the next one. Well, I need to run so I don’t get stuck in traffic.

Well, I know I was going to update this yesterday but I was too busy. Sorry. Anyways, I am in the process of doing some laundry and cleaning around the house before I head out to work tonight. I am in Delivery Services tonight again. I love it. It is a great change from the crazy and sometimes painful strollers. Painful in that I smash my fingers and pull muscles all the time. DS as we call it maintains all the package options we have to out guests. We go to all the shops in the park and pick up any packages marked for hotel delivery and package-pickup. Did you know we offer those free with any purchase? I am looking forward to doing it more once I get settled in. Right now though I am doing my laundry and cleaning up around the apartment while my coffee is brewing. Mmmmm, I love the smell of my Sumatra Roast from Starbucks. Have a magical day!

Today I started training in Delivery Services at the Magic Kingdom. DS handles all the Package-Pickup and Hotel Delivery packages that are taken by the shops in the park. I’m really looking forward to getting more involved with DS as it is a nice change of pace to the strollers rush I deal with every night. After work I made the swing by Epcot to say hi to a few friends and am now just relaxing at home watching Desperate Housewives. More training tomorrow so look for a longer update then.
