Still Living the Dream:-)

I have already been here a month and I cannot believe it!!! Everything has been going great and I have been having so much fun! The other day we decorated our apartment for Halloween and it looks so good. We realize it is a little early but Disneyland is officially in the Halloween “season” starting todayJ Last week I went to Huntington Beach which was lots of fun, and then this week we got our own tour of the animation studios in California Adventure. It was lots of fun and I actually can draw!

Well a couple days ago was pretty interesting lol.. I was walking to my break room when I walked through the handicap section of EO and I saw Kevin Jonas standing there! I had to remain calm and act like he was just a normal guest, so I smiled and walked in the break room and told people lol. One of the other girls I work with was on her break but she wanted to see him so she grabbed a broom and went out there and acted like she was cleaning. It was so funnyJ I couldn’t believe I was that close to a famous person lol!

 Today I work guest control in Adventureland/Frontierland for parades, fantasmic, and fireworks, so I am a little nervous because I haven’t done it yet… but I will survive as long as the West Side doesn’t find out I am from the East Side lolJI still love work and the experience down here. I have been incredibly busy but it keeps my mind on things down here and not on how much I miss everyone at home.

"It takes people to make the dream a reality"

Walt Disney said this with his cast members in mind. The park was built as he wanted it, but in order to feel the magic, he had to employ people that would create the magic. I am sharing the magic with many people everyday. People from all over the world come to Disneyland to experience the magic and have a great time, and I am part of the great cast that makes it all happen!

This last week has been so busy!! I cannot believe I have already been here for three weeks!! Work has been going great because I am getting to know everyone I am working with and they are all so nice. I also love to make the guests happy and excited when they get to my attraction, and I enjoy seeing all the guests smile when they leave my attractions:-) One thing that makes me feel good inside is when people call me by name... All of a sudden I will be doing something and then I hear someone say "How's your day going Lacey," "Thank you Lacey," "Have a great rest of the day Lacey".... and it just makes me feel so good inside:)

I am also still having a great time outside work:-) My roommates and I have been keeping busy by going to the park, out to eat, and running errands. We have had so many nights that we just can't stop laughing about random things.. but it is so much fun! Emily and Lauren had a blast one night giving me a makeover:-) Fun times!

There are also activities that we are able to do with the College Program and as Cast Members:-) A couple days ago was the last day for the Maliboomer in California Adventure... but Emily, Bri, and I got to ride it after the park closed!! It was so much fun that we went on it five times and then said our farewells:-( That night we also went and watched the World of Color which is an amazing water light show:-) It is so beautiful and I cannot believe how much work it must have been to put it together! Also, last week Emily and I went and did a triathlon... Walk, Spin, and Fly:-) We got to the park super early before it opened, and we walked through the park, spin on Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, and then flew on Peter Pan and Dumbo! We met up with a couple of our neighboors and it was a blast!! Afterwards, we went to Ihop and then into the park and rode space mountain a couple times before I had to work. Speaking of Space Mountain..... last night after the park closed I got to ride Space Mountain with the lights on!!! It was so much fun to see what it looked like on the inside:-)

Well I am going to go to the Doughnut shop, then to get fresh veggies for mexican night from the farmer's market, and then possibly to the beach:-) Hope everyone is doing great!! Here are some pictures from recently:
