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.

Well, I know it has been a while since I posted. What can I say, we are on six to seven day work weeks and I am pushing around 65-70 hours this week alone. Look for more updates soon I hope.

Just a side note, Finding Neverland is out on DVD today. Check it out. One of the best movies of 2004 I think.

Well, this is the end of my first week at my new location. Strollers is really not what I expected at all. It is actually a lot of fun. What I like the most about it is that it is that it is more of an operations role instead of a merchandise role. It’s a nice change and offers a variety. The Cast is great and the Managers couldn’t be better. I am so happy with my move. I am home early tonight and finishing up packing since I am heading to Naples this weekend to see my family which I haven’t seen in a while. So until then, have a great weekend!

Well, I am just getting home after my last shift at the Emporium on Main Street USA. I know I will miss the people but, I wont miss the chaos that goes with it. I know that I will get my fair share at Main entrance but, it will be a change and change is always good. The cast is a great cast and I will miss them. To all the CPs out there, come visit, I’m not that far away. Now, time to start my new Full-Time role at the Walt Disney World Resort and my new path towards a long-term career.

It’s Here! My new bed is finally complete and I can sleep on it tonight! Yay!
