Fathers Day

We had extra magic hours today. Which I didn't know, so when you head into the park thinking you're going to have a leisurely stroll enjoying the emptiness and you turn the corner to find a whole slew of people, it starts the day off a little rough. But I got to start out at Turtle Talk in our photocell position. Which means I escort wheelchairs to the priority entrance and make the spiels. It's not a bad place to be. When it was my turn to take over the show, I missed the beginning by a few minutes so I had to wait outside while they finished the show. Then I went in to load the next show and by the time I finished loading someone came to give me my break. That's twice in two days. I didn't think I was ever going to get to do the show. When I got back from my break I went back to where I started. I got to do some shows later on and that was pretty fun. Crush wished all the dads Happy Fathers Day, that was pretty cool. There was a definite "AWWW" reaction from the crowd, which made me laugh.

I spent some time at Kidcot, which I always enjoy. You just sit at a table and color with kids. How can that be bad? I spend the time organizing the station and chatting with kids and their parents. I really like that spot. I had a task where I had to go out and greet people at the sculpture gardens. Boy was it hot, there's no umbrella to stand under at that spot, so it was tough. But luckily it was only for 15 minutes.

Justin, the guy who did my assesment, invited me out to MGM for Star Wars weekends. I told him I was completely Star Wars ignorant, but he insisted I go anyway. So I did. It ended being Justin, me, Joe (another coworker), and Joe's wife Ultra. It was a lot of fun. I spent the whole night laughing. We did a few rides. I went on star tours for the first time. It was ok, but made me a little dizzy, I didn't think it was cool enough to feel that dizzy. We went on the Great Movie Ride, and saw the Narnia exibit (not as cool as it seems)... Hmm, I don't think we accomplished a whole lot, we kind of strolled through the place, it was a good time. We were going to go to Fantasmic, but by the time we got there it was SRO, so we decided to leave and head over to Downtown Disney to get something to eat. By the time I got home I was so exausted I just went to bed.
