June 13th 2008:
So as you all know,today was Friday the 13th and was supposed to be a BAD BAD DAY for everyone because its all unlucky or whatever. Well i can't speak on behalf of anyone else but i had a great day :D
I had the day off work for a start which was ace because i needed a lie in (seriously lack of beauty sleep lately!!) and i need to catch up on life and everything. I mean don't get me wrong i love my job sooooo much but i just need a minute to catch my breath, so it was nice to be able to do that today!! I had a lovely long sleep and then headed into work to pick up my pay cheque!! Then i went to Epcot with a friend of mine Ryan! I had such a wicked day, like we just chatted and he is proper down to earth and just a genuinely great guy!! Like he lives,breathes and IS Disney. He is one of those people who you would wanna see on a bad day because he could turn it around. For example...we were chillin in ESPN bar and we were talking away to this couple and their son.The son had downs syndrome and was quite hard to understand but he was sooo lovely like he was talking away to us about his fav teams "the gators" and about his birthday and whatever.Then Ryan asks if he collects pins and this kid is like no i haven't started yet. So Ryan goes and give this kid that he only just met one of his pins out of his own personal collection!!!
NOTE FOR THOSE NOT FAMILIAR WITH PIN TRADING...
Pin trading in Disney is HUGE!!! Basically people collect different pins which each have Disney charatcres or special events or whatever on them,some are rare and others are common and the point is to swtich and trade your pins for others that complete your collection or ones that you liek!! Most people do it for the pleasure or expanding their collection in preference to monetary value. People go nuts for these things!!! I may have to buy myself a British one before i leave :D
Back to my story...so anyway... i just enjoyed chillin out with someone from America and seeing the difference in the way people interact.Like i now understand why people say Disney is the most magical and happy place in the world because even when the cast members aren't working they still make people smile!! I mean i saw one guy make roughly 8 people smile today :D just by being kind and talking to them and helping them out as much as he could, I think thats such an amazing thing!! I love Disney!!! So yeah tonight was a good night!
It was hilarious in the parks though cos at least 3 different sets of people assumed we were together and they go crazy happy over couples here! Like popel where offering to take our picture and asking if we wanted to do this and that together and it was so so funny cos he is like my sort of boss at work so it was sooo embarrassing!!Like i was going bright red and he just thought it was the funniest thing in the world to play along and make me cringe a bit more!!! It was funny though. But like i think its sooo crazy how like over here you can hang out with people form work that might be higher up than you and its no big deal,like they are happy to show you around and help you out and whatever!Like i got a guided tour of EPCOT today basically! But it was just fun,like i would never ever speak to my managers or whatever from home the way i chatted with Ryan tonight but its cos over here everyone is so much more friendly and relaxed about stuff. Like everyone from work is just sooo chilled out and cool and just generally great people,i really am soo happy to be here.
Tonight made me realise how much i wanted this opportunity and kind of really made me realise how different life is over here and how much i love everything about Disney from the people who work here to the people who visit tot he atmosphere and the parks and the rides! All of it is priceless and i will never ever forget for one little minute how lucky i am to be here,living my dream!!! I think that todays blog really has to stress just how much i love everything about Disney and how great the people here are. I feel so at home here and i just cannot imagine leaving now!! It so strange to instantly feel like i landed on my feet and i fit!! I really cannot explain how great this is!!!
