Pluto and the Parade
Today I was back a Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. It has been so hot here. It's not hot like Georgia, but low 90s can be killer. I was parking strollers, pin trading, telling people we don't have FastPass, and handing out maps for most of my day. Nothing too exciting.
Toward the end of my shift I was sent to help with guest control for Mickey's Soundstational Parade. I love helping with the parade. My main job is to make sure people are in the viewing area so they don't get ran over by one of the floats or stepped on by a dancer. Kids get so excited when they see characters go by and sometimes dart up toward the them. There was a girl today that kept doing that; she would run up and her dad would try and take a picture IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOVING PARADE. The parade stage manager and I had to keep moving her back to her spot. Safety is the number one key!
I always make it a point to wave to the characters in the parade. They normally laugh and wave back. They remember me now and play around with me. Things like Pluto running over and asking for a churro, Tinker Bell telling me to 'go back to work', Princess Tiana waving at me until I see her, or Chip coming over to mess up my hair makes me smile every time.
I ment to post this yesterday, but when I went to the OC Fair they had a bunch of old white women who were performing a hula. It made me laugh, so of course I had to stop a watch.

I'm going to the and post again tomorrow. We have our Disney College Program graduation/party thing tomorrow night at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, so I'l have a lot to talk about. Only about 10 days left in SoCal now.

Work and a Visitor
It seems like all I do is work these days. I am getting sort of burnt out. But I did have a little mini break the other day.
I loved hearing all the updates on people from home. I seemed to have missed a lot this past semester. I hope more people come and visit to help bust up all this working I have to do.
Texts between Alex Yebra and I-
Alex: Hey are you still at Disney?
Me: Yep.
Alex: Cool we are on our way there right now!
Me: I'm at Disneyland, are you in California?
Alex: Yeah!
Me: SHUT UP! Come to Finding Nemo when you get here!
Then she shows up at Nemo! I was so excited to see someone from home! She was visiting family here so I let them cut the line and ride in my submarine.

| Look how happy I was Alex was there! |
When I got off I met her family at the park, we rode a few rides and then watched World of Color at California Adventure.

Hot Hot Hot
For Wednesday, April 27, 2011:
Today was hot at work. Mostly because I have a sunburn from yesterday at the pool. That's all.
