For Saturday, March, 19, 2011
Once a year Disney takes all the unclaimed lost and found stuff left around the resort and puts it up for sale for cast members to buy. All the profit goes to charity. Think of the stuff people leave at Disneyland; cell phones, cameras, iPods, clothes, sunglasses, strollers. If you can name it I bet someone has left it at Disneyland.
When I got off Friday I went to sleep for 2 hours before I woke up to go to with Matt, Kristen, and some other folks from work. We arrived at the Goodwill of Orange County (who was hosting the sale) at 3:55 am and there was already a line down the street. People came in tents and all and had been there since 12pm the day before. It looked like when people camp out in from of Best Buy for Black Friday.
Well, after waiting in line until 7:00 we finally got in. You would be amazed at all the stuff people left!

There were some cast members who were buying clothes for their families and trying to buy some electronics. I wasn't looking for anything and am poor, but I just picked up some things I thought were good. I spent $8 and got a brand new Mac charger, 2 pairs of sunglasses and some books. Matt got a $300 camera for $19!

After we got back I had just enough time for a hour nap before going to work. Exhausting, but worth it.
