Week Seven: Cheerleaders Take Over & I'm Visited By Friends

This week was busy busy busy. A few friends from home were in town so I was splitting time hanging out with them and working late night shifts.

March 6, 2017 (Monday): I worked from 9:15am - 8:15pm and the day was pretty good, but we were struggling to hit our numbers. Basically everything was a little too slow and it was frustrating. That pretty much sums up Monday.

March 7, 2017 (Tuesday): I was off Tuesday and two friends from high school were in town staying at Saratoga Springs!! I took the bus to their hotel and we spent the day at Universal Studios. Super fun day, we did both parks and since it was one girl's birthday, her parents bought us all Express Unlimited passes!! Those are the Universal equivalent to Fastpasses but with even shorter waits and you have to pay for it. For the unlimited one it's $100. So expensive. But yeah, we did all the big ones including Ripsaw Falls where we got totally soaked and decided not to do anymore water rides.



Then we went to the Mexican restaurant on CityWalk for Amy's birthday and it was super tasty! They have guacamole made right in front of you where you can choose any ingredients you want more/less of. So it's SUPER fresh. We also hit up the chocolate emporium for little desserts.
 

March 8, 2017 (Wednesday): I was also off Wednesday and we went to Cocoa Beach! It was a little windy but the UV was high so though it wasn't very hot, we still got fried. We ate lunch on the pier then went back to their hotel where we spent some time in the pool and hot tub.



We also got dinner at Yesake in Disney Springs which is a food stand selling build your own udon bowls and stuff like that. We also went to the Coca-Cola store to the rooftop bar where you can buy trays of soda samples from around the world. So we bought a tray for like $14 or something that had 18 different samples of sodas and soda floats. That was pretty fun, but most of them were kind of gross.

March 9, 2017 (Thursday): Thursday I worked from 4:15pm - 12:45am but before work I went to Epcot because some OTHER friends from home were at Disney for their brother's baseball tournament. So we did Soarin', Living with the Land, the ride in Mexico, and Mission: Space (intense training). Work was good, I had a super funny pair of drunk grandparents go on Dumbo that couldn't figure out how their seatbelt worked. Then after work I went to IHOP with my coworkers and got home at 3am!



March 10, 2017 (Friday): I again worked from 4:15pm - 12:45am and before work went to Amy and Meredith's hotel to hangout at the pool before work. So that was nice before taking the bus over to MK. Friday night we hosted an event from 10pm - midnight for the cheerleaders who competed over the weekend, so that was easy. Most of them tend to be crazy and spoiled and rude, but luckily they tend to take over rides like Space Mountain and Mine Train instead of our Circus rides ;)

March 11, 2017 (Saturday): I worked AGAIN from 4:15 - 12:45am and it was literally like the worst day of work for everyone. Somehow every Cast Member had a rough day and was a little off, so our efficiency was way down for the day. Everyone was trying super hard, we just had so many little things go wrong. But I went grocery shopping before work which was nice, and had two little kids give me hugs so that was cute.

March 12, 2017 (Sunday): I worked from 3:45pm - 11:45pm and it was much better than the day before! I slept until noon which I haven't done in ages, but the train is finally up and running again at MK and we now have Fastpass kiosks open in Circus! YAY!!!! Also a family rode Barnstormer like five times at the end of the night and were our very last guests on the ride, and this little four year old came up after and gave me the biggest hug and it was so cute I wanted to cry.

And that's it for the week!! I put in my extension application to extend through July 27th, which is crazy exciting (fingers crossed for me!!) and this week I'm off Wednesday and Saturday, then Tuesday and Wednesday next week.
