Some say to survive it, you need to be as mad as a hatter.

Today I have officially been on the program for two months, and it is flying by. I forget the days of the week, my concept of time has disappeared. I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter if you are on vacation in Walt Disney World or working here, it has the same effect on everyone. It really is a small city in itself and you can just get lost in another world; I don't mind it to say the least.

"Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life" I believe in this so much, I go to work everyday happy that I get to work for the mouse, and when I'm not working I find myself wanting to be at work. It is an odd feeling I must say. When people find out I work in parking I always get the same reaction of "awe I'm so sorry" but I like being able to tell them that I enjoy it and I feel like its a great place for me to start off at in the company. I love the guest interaction and making the guests laugh. It makes me feel amazing when they come up to me and tell me I'm doing well, and that I made them smile. Even if I'm not making magic inside the park, if I can put a smile on a guests face after a long day, my job is complete. I work mostly closing shifts which means I work till 1am, 2am, or 3am most of the days. I've gotten used to it, and tend to like the night shifts better than the morning shifts anyway.

I started my Guest Services class last Wed. I have really enjoyed it this far. The past two weeks have just been introductions, so now this upcoming week should start further into the series and we have lots of guest speakers which will be great for networking and asking questions.

Extensions to stay longer on the program supposedly come out on Monday, but I'm having a manager look further into it for me. I'm hoping to extend in a different role just so I can learn more and get the best possible experience out of being here.

I got to go on a behind the scenes of the Haunted Mansion attraction in Magic Kingdom. It was so COOL and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to go on it. That ride has scared me for years, and now I finally got a closer look on how this ride managed to scare me every time I rode it.

Some people go to the ends of the Earth just to see what they can see. –Piglet
