Really short update!
Quick update before i forget!! Thursday i did AMGUARD for the American gardens theatre. It was easy - doing crowd control and counting people in with a clicker!! Before my shift though went to Bomas restaurant at Animal Kingdom lunch for a huge buffet breakfast!It was Delish!! Ate 3 plates full and a bowl full !!! Had jungle juice cause thought it was quite fitting for my surrounding rather than plain orange juice!! Went with Char and her sis Danielle. After that our plans were to sunbathe but its getting cooler so not always suny in the mornings so we decided to go to AK and ride Everest and the rapids before rusing home and having 15 mins to get ready and change dfor the work bus!!! Last night us three went to see High School Musical 3!! At he 12.01 showing!!There was sooo many people we knew from the UK pavilion!!Not many children there but two theatres full of young adults etc!!! The film was great cheesy but its mean't to be!! Thats is all for now will blog after my two day weekend x

So saturday i had a long shift then manage to get back in time to go to cowboys AGAIN!! lol really good wasnt goign to have anything to drink but cudnt resist the $2 rose wine!!! After cowboys a few us went to Ihop till 4am loved it!!!lol Sunday Emma, Dan and I sunbathed for about half hour then decided to go to MK. We went on Splash, thunder, Its a smal world, went to the Laugh floor-Monsters Inc and we saw the 3 o clock parade!! We ate a huge ice cream from the parlour cause you have to od that while the parade is on!! We headed back around 7 becuase it was mickeys not so scary so everyone had to leave the parkthat didnt have tickets for it. Then we planned a mini reunion for some of our arrival group. 7 of us went ot emmas and ordered takeaway and tried to stay awake to watch sweeney todd!was cool as we managed ot get happy anniversary badges so we made the others all wear them-sad i know!! Monday Susan,Char and I went to Typhoon Lagoon!it was an awesome day!!We went on all the rides including my fav crush and gusher then went in the wave pool which ive decided i hate. Not only do u have to save urself from drowing but also save ur bikini top and bottom!Too much hassle!! Then we ate at tillys at typoon before sunbathin in the clouds by this point and we hit the rides again before heading home!! We met up with Dan and went to Epcot because i needed to go on Test track sinc ei hadnt while ive been here then ate and drank around the world!!! Me and char ate our food off two trash bins we used as tables- so classy!!! We watche dbit of the fireworks before fighting to get on the bus back to commons- its like a football match etting crushed...! We were supposed ot go to lasses but none f us made it we were too tired so went to chars for some pizza and curly fries then went ot bed. Yesterday was tuesday had ANOTHER chippy shift!! Then Julie,Char and i went to raglan road a Irish restaurant at downtown disny. The food was soooo lovely although the service wasnt too great!!Not Disney compnay so let them off"! Was $40 each but we had starts, wine and a meal so got our moneys worth and we enjoyed the food.Today was culinary day. Wore a chefs costume. Had to work alongside the chefs which was interesting and then for our break we got a sampl of most of the dishes. I had my culinary with Kelly. She is a vegetarian so i ate a whole lot more than i should of!!The food was gorgeous!!! Now i reckoned any dish!!! Got spoons to try everything in the kitchen while we worked too was great!Can't eat any meal tonight feel too sick!!1 Tomorrow i am working 1 hour seating guests then i have a shift a AMGUARD. this is guarding the American pavilion shows.

A weeks long update!
I have been here just over a week now and im finally adjusting to the time difference, although i have been getting some really early nights! I am living with one roommate called Becky she is German. The bad point is is that were on third floor. I've had lots of classes and meetings and even missed a training class because i slept in but managed to get to another class so hopefully that doesnt effect my record card! Been to Magic Kingdom and Hollywood studios and bought a annual pass for Universal (Traitor)!!!lol Went Universal last friday and suprisingly lots of things were different from two years ago!!The mummy ride was reaaally good aswell as the Men and Black but they are not the new rides. 7 of us went there from our arrival group of 10. Yesterday was my first shift working at EPCOT- EVERY PAYCHECK COMES ON THURSDAY!! I was a seater. I would get the guests when their table was ready welcome them to the Rose and Crown restaurant and take them to their tables. Easy enough really!!Its just whether they want outside when they are indoors or vice versa can be abit of a pain. Today i am also seater but during the fireworks and thats meant to be chaos because EVERYBODY wants seating outside so we shall see. Most of my arrival group are working today so will get to see lots of familiar faces while im stressing no doubt. Saturday is my day off nothing planned yet but hopefully be out in the evening and some friends are off then too! Nothing too thrilling to write about yet its all been a long process of filling in forms etc but im sure the fun will pick up once my training is over and i have plenty of time to fill going to the parks :)
