Today was my day off, and it was about as fabulous as a day off can be around here. I got up at a reasonable hour, watched some Netflix (Paranormal Activity 2 = hilarious), then hit the parks with my roomies. I rounded out the day with a trip to Timberland to buy my work boots for Splash (or, as we lovingly call ourselves, Splash Trash, cuz Brer Fox and Brer Bear like to cause commotion).
I am going to miss Walt Disney World so much come May when my second program is over. I have learned so much and grown up more than I ever thought I could. If it here. The problem is, I just don’t see myself getting to where I want to be here, unless a miracle comes through and I break into Entertainment (still trying, don’t worry). Plus, there’s the whole money issue, and you don’t get much of that here.
When I have bad days and find myself wanting to just quit and go home like I did earlier this week, I go visit a park, and just look around. There’s families enjoying time together, little girls kissing grown up Prince Naveen and Prince Charming characters on the cheek, people in the middle of their life that are enjoying their first visit, and a huge, beautiful caste that I could (have) stared at for hours.
Disney World truly is a magical place, and I am deeply honored and so thankful that I have had the opportunity to work here. I am going to enjoy every second of it until May 11 when my internship ends. There was a time when I didn’t even know when I would get to visit Walt Disney World as a guest, much less have as much of it as I like as a cast member. So, in that sense, Disney has shown me that life’s opportunities really are endless.
Poll: What should I do come May?
