I hope everyone had an amazing  thanksgiving! I know that I did. Ended up eating three different thanksgiving dinners in the course of three hours. And I still have left overs which I will be able to eat for the next several days. Working thanksgiving was a great experience, almost everyone was over the top nice and thanked us for everything that we do.  We (cast members) also had food and caffeine provided by management, which made the night more entertaining than it should have been.
The most memorable part of my night though was being able to be a part of a guests family and help talk a five time combat vet through the PTSD caused by the fireworks.  It is amazing to see the family support networks that are made. I am very glad to say he made it through the fireworks, and was able to continue on with his evening after they were done. I even got to pixie dust everyone in the family. and take family photos with them. Don't forget about our service men and women this time a year, everyone deserves a family that will support them, even if the family isn't by blood or marriage. We are truly one big family here and I am very glad to be a part of it.
Everyone be safe with holiday shopping!! Disneystore does black friday, however disney parks and resorts do not, don't even ask  if there is a sale, there will not be. and the Christmas music can officially start now.. Here is one of my favorites:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I spent my morning making huge amounts of food to be eaten for the next week then am off to work until 2 am.

Magical Moments

Every guest to the Magic Kingdom has a story. These stories range from normal to over the top, and here is one of my favorite stories from the past few weeks:

Everyone meet Chris and Judy (oh and me and my fellow cast member kelsey). We often get newly engaged couples that come in to get their mouse ears that are wedding themed. Chris proposed to Judy in front of Cinderella's Castle (cute, eh?), and she didn't know it was coming. To make this even more special, Chris and Judy are from the United Kingdom and this photo was taken right at the end of their trip. But not just any trip, a 360 day world wide trip that took them through Asia, Australia, and coast to coast in the States. After getting engaged in Disney World they went up to New York, and then flew home. We hear the most amazing stories and I am so glad that we got to talk to Chris and Judy for the time that their hats were being sewn (which for these ones did take a bit of time since we but the date of their engagement on the  back). I love my job and the magic I get to bring and see :) Congrats Chris and Judy! Come back to Disney for your wedding!!!!!

Its the most wonderful time of the year.

 christmas is here! just 7 days after halloween ended, christmas parties start. This year Elsa (from frozen) cast a spell and lit up the castle with these beautiful lights.

 and if you think it stops at just magic kingdom, you would be wrong, the next photo was taken less than an hour later at hollywood studios.

 there are thousands of lights in this display.

 Kristyn and I found the home of the 101 dalmatians while drinking our hot cocoa and eating cookies.

 santa claus is coming to town!

 we even have a giant fire place with stockings

 This is all part of the specticle of dancing lighs. this is presented by the same company as space ship earth in epcot.

 :) this picture made me very happy.

and they even make it fake snow!

Happy Holidays from Disney (the 12 days of christmas just became the two months of christmas)

Now we have entered christmas season. our christmas parties have started and the park has been transformed. But before I get to post the photos of the christmas parties, I think I should recap what Magic Kingdom looks like for autumn.

 

there are squash all over the place!

 mickey head light up pumpkins are everywhere! they glow at night and are super awesome to look at!

 did I mention pumpkins and squash everywhere??? because they really are.

 

there are also scare crows everywhere. This one is on main street right as you enter the park! 

 a happy scare crow buddy

 

even the displays in the stores are dressed up for halloween! 

 and the ice cream shop has an ice cream cone carved into their pumpkins

 Walt and Mickey in front of the castle

 one of the stores that I work at, its right next to the castle

 another store I work at, again right next to the castle (ignore the crane in the photo, they were putting up christmas lights)

ever wonder how busy our stores are? well this is average traffic in our stores, this is not busy at all because you can actually move :)
