I feel like a little kid all over again. The last couple of days I have been training on Steam Trains at the Magic Kingdom. Right now I am working on conductor but I hope to become an engineer some time soon. Well, today I got to ride in the cab of the train and even do the whistle. Wow! I felt like a little kid on a toy train. Walt himself loved trains, I loved trains as a kid. Now, I feel in love with them again. Where else in the world can I work on an actual steam train and make a special vacation for our guests?

I know it’s been like forever since I posted last. I’m sorry my posts are lacking in length and frequency. Anywho, I have some news from the Magic Kingdom. Yours truly will be training to work on the steam trains starting next week. That’s right, I will be training as a conductor with the Walt Disney World Rail Road. So the next time you ride the train, you might be lucky enough to hear me yelling “All Aboard!” he he he. Not too much else to report. Candlelight has overnight practice this week as the shows start right after Thanksgiving. I can’t wait! My first show will be on December 2nd with Haley Joel Osment. Lots of hours at work this week and next then the family comes to visit. So till the next update, have a magical day!
So I was off yesterday and finally had a chance to sleep in a bit. After doing some things around the apartment, I went and picked up Patrick after school and then we headed to Downtown Disney to see Chicken Little. Cute movie and had me laughing. Still not the best Disney Movie but it is entertaining. Anyways, after that, we headed to Epcot to meet up with Joe and a few others for Food and Wine. After the park closed, Patrick and I stayed around till 10:30 when we had heard that there would be a test of the Holiday Illuminations Fireworks. Well, at 10:45 we got treated to an almost private viewing of Illuminations and the Holiday Tag. It was us and about 20 other cast members in the area we were waiting. First off, this is the same show from last year that was dubbed “World War III” but this year (4,400 shells in 3.5 minutes), it has a few extra booms in it. All this firepower to a beautiful rendition of Let There Be Peace on Earth. Sort of ironic if you ask me but it is beautiful to watch. So if you are in the area this holiday season, check out the fireworks at Epcot.
It seems like forever sine I did an actual site update but I have. I am working on adding and changing out some of the photos on my photos page and since the Holiday decorations are up at work, I figured why not get in the mood here as well so I updated my header. Also, there is a mobile edition available now. Point your PDA. BlackBerry or Mobile Phone to http://www.webbyaquatics.com/wp-mobile.php to access the content.
Well, I know I have been AWOL for a few days. I have a good reason though I promise. I have been busy packing and then unpacking since Andrew and I moved in to our new place on Friday. And through a 16+ hour work day yesterday, I am just exhausted! So I’ll start off about the new apartment. Andrew and I moved from an area of Orlando known as Metro West and back to the Lake Buena Vista Area. We are located just before Sea World on International Drive and close to where the Disney College Program housing is located. So, having said that, my new commute to work is 12 miles on one road lasting 15 minutes instead of a 23 mile commute lasting 30 minutes. Also, I now have my own bedroom back since our new place is a two bedroom/two bath apartment. It is so nice. It also helps when most your friends now live with in a two mile radius as well. Needless to say, I am happy to have moved. Lots of other issues in play with the move but, I wont go in to them on here.
Also on the theme of a new home, the reason I was working for 16+ hours yesterday was because I had the chance to work with Media Operations again (See Grad Night) and assist them with a few families from ABC’s Extreme Makeover:Home Edition. It was a group of 14 families that got a private night at WDW with a concert from Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. I can’t really go in to too much detail on the background but, watch the Holiday Special of the show sometime in December.
Well, I still have a few random piles around the apartment that I need to sort out and find a home for. Have a magical day!
