Instagram Update: Visit from a friend
My friend from college, Shane came to visit me this weekend. He was basically only in town for two days but I had a lot of fun and I am glad he came to visit. We went to visit Magic Kingdom today. He has never been to a Disney Park EVER! So of course we had to make a stop to visit Mickey and Minnie. This picture is from one of the trunks in Mickey's dressing room in Town Square Theatre.

The other night I agreed to take a friend to Hollywood Studios after work. He convinced me to go to watch Hyperspace Hoopla with him. It was a great decision. I have never seen it in person before and now I have seen it and on its opening night. It was so fun and awesome. From some friends who are working this years weekends and have worked them in the past it is "the best yet". So if you are going to go to one of the Star Wars Weekends make sure you stick around for Hoopla. It is totally worth it.

Springtime Brings New Beginnings
It seems that spring time has brought me lots of good things.
When I last posted I had just been offered a role with Universal. I feel like that was the start of good things or maybe it was getting hired with SeaWorld. Either way I don't regret turning Universal down. Just seeing how much effort my SeaWorld friends had to put into making the rehersals fit with their other work schedules makes me glad I didn't put myself through that.
I am also really glad I didn't take it because on the 12th I got a call from Disney Casting offering me part time in my current role as a performer. This is awesome for so many different reasons and totally made possible by my only having the one other job rather than two.
My part time goes into place on 4/29. Which means on 4/29/2013 I will finally get my one year pin after working for the company a three years and 4 months. Not gonna lie I am excited for that pin.
In other news I am going to an info session for Traditions hosts soon. Traditions host is a role that I have listed as a dream role and would definitely love to eventually get. I would also love to get into the training aspect of entertainment in either core training or as a Welcome to Entertainment facilitator. I have lots of areas I want to look into and I feel like finally getting part time will put me on the right track to achieving some of them.
I will post again soon!

Bullet point updates
My how time does fly. December doesn't seem like all that long ago at all but March is already here.
Here is a quick update of what has happened since December.
- finished my second college program and went seasonal
- moved out of cp housing and into a nice apartment
-felt defeated, scared, and depressed because of Disney and total invisibility by Casting
- went to Seaworld Audition
- got hired at Seaworld as a Performer 1 (I not only do meet and greets but i also perform in their sesame show)
- learned how to use articulated heads at Seaworld
- started playing Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. Super fun game.
-went to One More Disney Day 12pm to 12am.
- went to a Universal audition for both regular sets as well as their new parade
- went to an articulated head workshop at Disney. Had a lot of fun and rediscovered a passion for my job
Which brings me to yesterday. I heard back from universal and was offered a role in their new parade. After a few hours of debate and an important phone call to my mom I decided to turn down the offer. While Universal pays the most out of all 3 parks and it would have been a really cool expierence, in order to work at all 3 I would have to have 0 availability with Disney. By doing that I essentially prevent myself from ever being assessed or trained. Since Disney is where I really want to find a career and I don't really want it to be in performing, I decided that the Universal job wouldn't get be closer to my goal.
Thats where I am at now. Still looking to get that big girl job but content with where I am.
