So we've been here about two weeks and it has been a whirlwind!! Literally!!
Work has definitely kept me busy with long hours and plenty of shifts but on the plus side I am starting to get familiar with my responsibilities and I'm becoming more confident in my "role." For my first three days of work I trained with three different coordinators who each showed me the way of doing things. Sunday is my "burn in" day which pretty much is my day to do all the parts of my role with basically little or no help. I'm freakin' out a little but I sure I can do my job. Its been really enjoyable doing costuming so far, my favorite bit by far is talking to the guest once they come to us to be dressed in their costumes, they are so excited to get to be onstage and in on the action!!!
So I have to explain my title, coming from Texas constant rain is a not too familiar concept...well this has all changed now!! This past week, a minimum of a 30%-40% chance of rain has been in the forecast each and everyday! This rain comes seems to come from nowhere and can be on again and off again for hours. When it rains, the guests flock to the inside and buy up as many Disney ponchos as they can get their hands on. Of course, safety or, "Safe D" is #1 priority so when rains occurs, or more specifically, if lightening occurs things must be changed, delayed, or cancelled for safety reasons. My very second day of training there was lightening right before two shows and since a BIG portion of the set is metal, they had to drastically alter the show since they would not move the set. Also if there is lightening, rides will shut down and parades might be cancelled or delayed as well. On one of my shorter work days, Jordyn, Christine, Sherrin and I went to Magic Kingdom and while we were there we wanted to see the "3 o'clock parade." Right before 3pm, it started to rain for another time that day and I started to worry that they would have to cancel it. Thankfully Mother Nature held her own for a bit and the sun was out and it became nice and thick and humid outside; perfect parade weather ;). Here's pics of the rain:

If you haven't already noticed, I've made some changes to our blog page recently that I'm totally excited about...the biggest is the slideshow which houses some pics from around the park, its set up so newer ones show first so check back often to see new pics!!! Some smaller changes is the Disney picture I have on the left side of the blog that showcases favorite and inspiring pictures from around the park so be sure to check those out, and finally, further down on the left is another classic Disney song about following your dreams and your wishes...just, "Let your Conscience by your Guide" and you'll find it easily enough!! (wink wink)
That's it for now....
See Ya Real Soon!!
