Florida is hot.
And from what I hear, its just going to get hotter.
I'm also working a lot. Outside. In the heat.
But its a good thing I work in the most magical place IN THE WORLD. I have finally gotten into the swing of things down here. Making food, waking myself up for work, getting on the early bus, laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping. I have officially decided that when I get home, I'm never moving out ever. Growing up is AWFUL. At least I'm only living in Walt Disney World, which is as far from growing up as I'm ever going to get. I visit the Magic Kingdom at least three times a week. You never get tired of fireworks here.
Work is good. We get a lot of people coming in saying "Welcome to Canada, eh."... And then I have to tell them that they're saying it wrong. Guests often ask me if I'm actually from Canada. And every so often, we get French speaking guests, and I'm slowly getting better at putting my years of french immersion to good use! Also, because I'm still newer (more new?), I close every evening I work, which means I get to see IllumiNations! Which is EPCOT's fireworks. Boom.
Last Wednesday I auditioned for Disney's Christmas Candlelight Recessional. So that'll be super fun if I get it!
The hardest part so far has been being away from my family. I miss hugs, I miss dinner time. I miss Friday nights at Grandma's. I miss my cats. I miss driving. I miss my church. I miss my friends. I miss my own space, my bed, my room. The most magical place on earth isn't so magical without the people you care about.
The BEST part so far has been the biggest and bestest prayer answered ever, and thats Cast Member Church. It's literally a church for Disney cast members. The wonderful thing about it, is that its like a backwards church, so instead of meeting all together once a week (which is impossible because Disney is 365 days a year company), it is made up of a bunch of small groups (CommuniD's) of 3-5 people who meet up all over Disney property! So my group meets at Coronado Springs resort on Wednesday mornings, since I'm off Wednesdays! It is so nice to finally know other Christians down here. And because God is just so incredibly wonderful, one of the girls in my group also works with me in Merchandise at the Canada Pavilion! Amazing!
Thats all for now. :)
Love love love,

Week Two & Three
Hello all!
I am proud to say that I've earned my ears, and now officially a Disney Cast Member! Woooo! My Birthday was a blast and a half. Went to 1900 Park Fare character breakfast with Heather, and we got to meet Mary Poppins, Tigger, Pooh, Alice, and The Mad Hatter! After that I went to Senses Spa at the Grand Floridian to get my nails done, which was lovely. And thennnn I went to the Magic Kingdom! If you ever get the chance to go to the parks on your birthday, DO IT. Everyone says Happy Birthday to you and its the most magical thing, and it makes you feel awesome. After getting the best farmers tan I could imagine, I went home for dinner, and then headed to Hollywood Studios to see the Frozen fireworks and Fantasmic with my roommate Pam, and co-worker Becky! So needless to say, it was an absolutely wonderful birthday. :) (And thanks for the ears, Heather!)
The past week has just been busy with work. Most days I work 3:30pm-9:30pm. I went to see Disney Pixar's Inside Out with my Roommate Solvor from Norway, it was cute! I also went to a dueling, sing-a-long piano bar thing called Jellyrolls with my co-workers which was so much fun as well. :)
As for today, I went to the Magic Kingdom with some friends, had breakfast at Be Our Guest, the Beauty and the Beast themed restaurant. It was simply breathtaking. One of my most favourite things about Disney, is how much detail is put into every aspect of the park. The imagineers do a stellar job.
And I also met Gaston! Totally forgot my autograph book though, so I'll have to go see him again. :p

Tomorrow I'll be going to the Animal Kingdom! Finally! And then on Wednesday, I get to go to the Cast Member Church at Coronado Springs with my friend/co-worker Micayla! Can't wait to meet other Disney-loving, Jesus-following people! :)
A vlog will be coming soon, don't you worry. I've just run into some technical difficulties. Thats all for now, folks. Have a magical day!
Love love love,
Morgan
