April 24th (Monday): I drove my car to work, which was very exciting, and I worked from 3:30pm - 11:45pm. I got to be inside at ringmaster (the person who takes the pagers back from the play area), which is usually one of my favorite positions, but it was sort of awful. We had Dumbo A go 101 (went down due to an unusual noise) and maintenance took FOREVER to get there so we were only operating one Dumbo in the peak time of the day. So basically I had a ton of irritated guests because they were told one wait time and it ended up being much more than that. So that's no fun, but we made it through!
April 25th (Tuesday): I worked from 11am - 10:45pm and had a crazy day. I was having guests enter through the exit, guests trying to seat little kids together, and guests calling other guests names. One situation actually escalated to the point where we had to call security (we had an EXREMELY rude and disrespectful racist guest). Luckily I had a coordinator right next to me to help handle everything.
April 26th (Wednesday): I spent a lovely morning before work watching What A Girl Wants and Sky High, then worked from 4:15pm - 11:15pm. I was supposed to work until 12:45am, but a coworker switched end times with me! I was on Dumbo all day long, literally didn't touch anything at Barn. Also, a guy gave his pager at the Dumbo play tent, and winked at me. Super uncomfortable hahahaha. We also had to call an alpha (ambulance) for a little boy who hit his head really hard in the splash zone play area thing outside Barn, but luckily the kid was deemed ok.
April 27th (Thursday): My day off!! I spent the morning/early afternoon in Epcot with my coworker, Morgan. We did a world showcase lap and rode Nemo, Spaceship Earth, and Soarin'. She's a CP who extended her fall program out of monorails into the Circus (so she's been here awhile) and this day was the first time she got anything from Flower & Garden!!! Nuts.
After Epcot I met up with my friend Melissa, and we went to Universal for a few hours. We rode Spiderman, Forbidden Journey (Harry Potter castle ride) twice, Gringotts twice, and Mummy. And obviously got butterbeer. We ate dinner at the new chocolate emporium and it was SO GOOD. I got the Blue Plate Burger which had a burger patty, cheddar cheese, mashed potatoes, corn, lettuce, and bourdelaise sauce. It also comes with meatloaf but I ordered it without that. They have a really tasty menu and awesome desserts, I would highly recommend checking it out!
April 28th (Friday): I worked a lil baby shift from 5:15pm - 11:45pm and went to the mall before work! I had some errands to run and ended up spending most of my paycheck. Whoops. I went to the Mall at Millenia by Universal and it was really nice!!! I got a new swimsuit, a bunch of hand sanitizer, new sports bras, and a bachelorette party gift for a friend! Work was kind of funny, I just had little funny things happen. I had one man with a little girl sitting on the outside of the Dumbo so I asked him to move her to the inside, and when he lifted her up to move her, he lifted her straight out of her skirt. So this little child is just in underwear and it took him a few seconds to notice, which was hilarious. His family thought it was so funny, and I couldn't stop giggling. Also, I had to spiel directly to a guest with a child standing on the gate in the middle of my safety spiel. It went like this: "...hold up on the lever to make Dumbo fly high in the sky PLEASE KEEP ALL CHILDREN OFF OF THE FENCE thank you enjoy your flight." Also my coworkers visited me at work :')
April 30th (Saturday): I was off again today, so in the morning I did laundry. I had to use another building's laundry though because this really rude girl took all the washers, even though I was CLEARLY about to put a load in. After laundry I went to Animal Kingdom and watched Festival of the Lion King and walked the Pangani Trail. Then I took a bus to Hollywood Studios simply to buy my father's Christmas present (it has to remain a surprise because he reads this). After Studios I went home, got dressed up, and went to Magic Kingdom with Alexa and Mariam! We did another lantern picture and played around the park. The line for the lantern picture literally took about an hour, probably because it was Dapper Day and everyone wanted a pic while they looked nice.
April 31st (Sunday): I had the joy of waking up at 5:30am to work from 7am - 9:15pm. I had this weird training class from 7am - 8:30am that only took ten minutes, then a normal shift from 8:30am - 9:15pm but it's cool because #overtime. I was basically on Dumbo A all day long, but it was a pretty good day!! We were 101 at one point, but it was sorted out really quickly and easily. I also got to make a magical moment for a really sweet newly married couple. They were telling me they weren't going to do Mine Train because of the line and I happened to have a FP for Mine Train so I gave it to them and the wife gave me a big hug and it was wonderful. Then, I told my coworker Liz that they were newly married so she got the entire line to cheer for them, and again spieled congratulations while they were riding Dumbo! So that was really neat to make a magical moment for someone who appreciated it so much :) I also had a little boy literally drop his pants and pee right outside the Barn queue line. The mom grabs him and says "sorry, still working on potty training" and walks up the entrance. LIKE HELLO WOMAN YOUR KID IS LIKE SIX, POTTY TRAINING SHOULD HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED. But we called custodial and got it all fixed up, my coworker was laughing pretty hard at that.
That was my week!! Started rough and ended great :) I only have two more weeks until my roommates all leave and I'm getting so sad :(
