I've had a pretty quiet week since last Friday. I have been working late most nights so we don’t always feel like going out when we get back. As we are still the ‘newbies’ we get all the closing shifts which finish about 10pm. There are two new arrivals groups in February so we won’t be new for much longer! I managed to put on a photo of my costume this week, though I did leave the mop cap off! I also have a very fetching coat which I need to tak a picture of. Hopefully we won't need it much longer as it is getting warmer, though the evenings are cold as there aren't many clouds.
On the Saturday before last I went out for lunch to a buffet restaurant called Sweet Tomatoes. It was so amazing! It was unlimited salad, soups, jacket potatoes, chilli, vegetables...I ate so much. We had about 5 courses, I was struggling to stand up by the end. It was all healthy though so I didn’t feel bad about it! Apart from the pizza bread, and the chocolate cake I had for dessert. We were meant to have games night that evening as my friend Kaz had just bought Disney Monopoly which has a pop up castle in the middle! However, by the time we’d all got there and they had eaten dinner (I was still stuffed!) it was about 1am, a bit late to start that game.
Most other evenings we watched films and just chilled out, singing along to iPods and eating fudge! I’ve watched The Lion King, Mulan and Aladin in the past few weeks as we can get borrow them for free at work. You can’t escape the Disney bubble! On Monday nights all the girls from the UK get together and after a few drinks meet up with the boys from another country. This week we met the UK boys at a bar nearby as someone was leaving. I played pool against one of the guys from culinary and managed to win as he was very drunk! It is good to be able to get together outside of work and get to know other people you might not see every day. After you have been for 6 weeks you get a t-shirt!! Tomorrow is 80’s themed, I knew I should have bought my legwarmers.
I had a day off on Wednesday and was very lazy, again! I got dressed at about 2pm and went to see a new girl who had arrived a few days before. We went to McDonalds with few of the other people who were off and arranged to meet some friends at the cinema. We saw ‘County Strong’, the new film with Gwyneth Paltrow. It was actually unexpectedly good, I love county music! It was my friend Nate’s birthday that day so we went to TGIs on the way home for some yummy food. We made everyone sing happy birthday to him, which was enjoyable for us!
The most exciting thing I did all week/month/year was to go to Universal Studios on Saturday! We took a local bus which took about half an hour but it only cost us 25 cents as we’re Disney cast members. I bought an annual pass as it costs about the same as going three times in the year and I get discounts on food, merchandise and other people’s tickets. We went straight to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I was nearly exploding with happiness. It was magical! As soon as you walk into Hogsmeade you see the Hogwarts Express and all the shops, covered in snow. There was a queue to get in the Honeydukes so we didn’t go in straight away. We bought a butterbeer which was good, the foam topping was really yummy. The day was really good fun, lots to explore and see. The main ride Harry Potter was amazing, it is really creative and uses lots of bits from the books. We also walked round the rest of Island of Adventures and met some more characters (sorry for not knowing who all the X-men are!). In the evening we watched more films!
I miss you all lots, but I'm really happy here too! I will try and be on Skype more often as I only ever seem to catch people when I'm about to go to work, silly time difference! Have a great week :)
From Florida with Love,
Emily
