Do I Have to Name Every One of These?

..::enter at your own risk!

miserable grammar ahead!::..

It has come to my attention that I have not blogged in about 7 decades.  So here I am :) I dont even really know where to start because i dont know where i left off. so i will start with the things that matter...i reckon

i am now working on something called Holiday's Around the World. i am one of only 4 people in costuming who got picked to do this so that is pretty cool i reckon :) it is VERY stressful on so many levels, but it really is fun on the good days. i feel honored that i got picked to do something that so many people come to epcot to watch. 

BUT WAIT! ERIKA, WHAT IS THIS HOLIDAY WORLD NONSENSE YOU ARE SPEAKING OF?!


Weeeeelllllll, it is something that epcot does at the holidays every year where there is a story teller in each country that tells the story of that countries holiday traditions.  Ex: America has Santa and Mrs. Claus and Mexico has the three kings. I recommend checking out.


Something that i have seriously gotten into (more that i ever expected to) is character hunting. there is nothing better than the thrill of meeting a rare character, especially when it is one so rare that they only come out once a year... take Elvis Stitch for example. I am not sure if i have talked about halloween stuff in a blog yet, but just know it was a marathon, but sooooo fun!!!!! characters came out at 4, 5, & 6 for 30 min a set at different resorts. I made it to 6 resorts in 2.5 hours. i was literally running from car to cue lines and back again. oh man, do i LOVE the thrill of that chase.

im sure there are a few that i have missed, that is 70 characters since i got here in august. i plan on getting quite a few more in the next month :) i will try to remember to keep you posted :)

in super mega recent news: i got to hang out with Soopy Poopy  (jessup), amanda, and huck along with the newest b-nats for the last 2 days and it has been sooooo much fun! it was great thinking back on all the old times and finding memories in the deepest parts of my mind. it felt like i was care free in high school again and i found that part of me would kill for those days again. they were so much easier than adulthood! 

a question that i keep getting asked: "i bet you are homesick, huh?" not really. i wouldnt say that i was home sick. there are days that i would sell my first born child to see my mom, sleep in my own bed, and put my little fur babies...but i am not biting the bit to go home by any means. i live and work at disney for crying out loud :)) it isnt always glamorous and it isnt always magical, but what job ever is? i love my team here and i love the memories i am making. dont get me wrong, it will be nice to be home in january but i am for sure going to miss it here. disney. not orlando. i HATE orlando. too many people from other countries driving as though they are in that other country and it is too hot. i miss having actual seasons. FLORIDA DOES NOT HAVE SEASONS!

Any who, i have to work at 7 am so this is all i am going to write for now. love you guys!
