So this is officially my first blog about work itself....what can I say...it is absolutely magical. I am able to bring so much joy into so many peoples lives everyday! I cannot believe I get to call this job work. It has been so much fun!! I get to play with people of all ages everyday and I cannot express how fun it is :) I've had my first encounter with a child from Make-A-Wish which was one of the best feelings. You might be thinking that it was extremely sad but it wasn't. It was such an incredibly happy moment. For me, the child, and the parents. To be able to see a child smile from ear to ear and leave with a magical memory that they will never forget was the best feeling. A feeling I cannot even explain. I've spent time with couples on their honeymoon or celebrating anniversaries, birthdays, family reunions, even families just visiting Disney World because it's the most magical place on earth...it really is a BLAST!
On my first night of work Friday, August 23 I got to hang out with the sassy little duck...Daisy Duck! She is such a cutie! I also got to watch the Wishes firework show at Magic Kingdom with Donald Duck, Goofy and Minnie Mouse as I held a little girls hand that was so adorable in a Minnie Mouse dress. I will NEVER forget that moment. That night I cried while watching Wishes because I just stood there so thankful and blessed to have this opportunity. The opportunity to live MY DREAM.
I still cannot believe that this is real life sometimes. I would have never thought in a million years that my dream would come true...but it did! All I can say is....WOW. Thank you Lord for all the blessing you have given me. My first night of work was definitely the most magical experience!
Since then I have spent so much time in the parks with different Disney characters :) I've hang out with Minnie Mouse, Vanellope, and of course the boss man himself Mickey Mouse. Hanging out with all these characters at so many different parks is just AWESOME! There is never a dull moment when spending time with them.
Sunday, August 25 hanging out at Epcot with Minnie Mouse. She was wearing her wonderful signature dress
Monday, August 26
I went on an adventure with Minnie at Animal Kingdom...Mickey decided to come too!
Wednesday, August 28 hung out with the boss at Epcot
Thursday, August 29. I finally got to hang out with Vanellope!!! She was picking on Ralph the whole time! lol She is SO ADORABLE!!!!
Friday, August 30 I hung out with Minnie Mouse. She wore her GORGEOUS pink dress and trained those cute little poodles that reminded me of my Cookie of course :) At the end of the night the whole gang joined together and I was able to snap a picture of the fab 4!
I did have half a day to go to Hollywood Studios on Saturday, August 24 with my roomie. It was a short day at the park but we had a great time. Went to 2 shows and then went to a drawing class and drew Woody! :) We cannot wait to go back and draw some more characters.
Our beautiful artwork!
We also ran into Mr. Incredible and Frozen!
Our housing program has events for us from time to time and this past event on August 28 was a Monstrous event! Although I worked that night and only made it to the festivities for the last hour Courtney and I were able to do scary feet with this big guy
We even scared twins in a bunk a bed :)
(thanks for waiting for me to go to the event together roomie...you're the best!)
Then, on Friday, August 29 I didn't go into work until later in the afternoon so I packed up a lunch and headed to Magic Kingdom early. I had so much fun just soaking it all in. I don't think I can ever get enough of this beautiful place.
My view for lunch...absolutely PERFECT.
Fall décor
While strolling around the parks these two approached me just to chat :)
Dreams with Mickey! One of my favorite shows
After lunch I was able to catch the day parade!!!
Saw so many characters in the parade but I don't want to post too many pics bc my family is coming soon and I want it to be a surprise! Tehehehe but I will someday.
Your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them.

ReplyDeleteI love to hear these things... When we give ourselves to the world, we get so much more back... And what i hear in your blog is that your so overwhelmed with the joy of this blessing youve been given and so thankful for it. I think thats how Walt Dsiney himeself felt. He had what we all call "Magic".. but he knew what that magic was - It was knowing how to make a dream come true. God wants all of us to know how to do this, to become everything he wants us to be so that we can experience the same gift that your experiencing. When i see these pictures, and i read your thoughts, i can feel Uncle Walty working his magi on you. But even more, i can sense and see your influence on your friends. I can see them grwoing beyond who he thought they were; I can see them becoming "mindified" and that takes the joy of watching them to a new level! And i smile from ear to ear.
Heres two quotes - the first is from Mickey himself provng he knew where his talent came from! "God bless Minnie, God bless Pluto, God bless everyone! Amen!
And this one is from Walt! - “Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. ............ When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.”
We love you...
