Storybook Circus!

Hi everyone!
This week a brand new area of Magic Kingdom opened up called Storybook Circus. It is a lot of fun. The area has a bunch of buildings that look like circus tents.


You can see the blue circus tent in the back off this picture of me at the entrance to Storybook Circus. I have been working here all week! It is a really fun area to work. The area where you meet characters is Pete's Silly Sideshow. Here I am at the entrance to that:


Here, you can meet Daisy, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald. Of course, they all have wonderful new costumes. Daisy is a fortune teller, Minnie is a Poodle Trainer, Donald is a snake charmer, and Goofy is a stunt man. The characters all stand in a big room together so they can play with each other when it is not busy. I think their favorite game is charades. I've been spending all my time lately hanging out with Minnie. Look how adorable she is in her brand new dress with her poodles!


Have a magical week!

What's New + Thompson/Russo vacation

Hello everyone!
It has been a while since I've posted and I'm sorry that I've been keeping everyone out of the loop. I'm still really busy but my hours have been cut some since my last post. That is really great since I was really working more than I wanted to before. The last couple weeks I have been working primarily character dining!!! It is very different from what I was doing before. It is much faster paced and you meet a lot more people. I don't really like that you don't get a full interaction with the characters but it is fun to add in characters to your dining experience. Working dining also means that I either start at 6am for breakfast or I get out late for dinner. So, although I have less hours it is more tiring because I have no consistency in my sleeping schedule.

I am working on my new class that I am taking called Marketing You! I really really love it. My teacher is absolutely amazing. She is a very good public speaker, she's funny, and she really makes the information interesting. The class is all about finding your dream job, building a path to get your dream job, and then getting it! It is such a practical important class for me right now. It is exactly what I needed to make my decision about what I am doing next.

Right now the Aunt Margie, Uncle Danny, Abby, Molly, and Mamaw and Papaw are here at Disney World for vacation. Luckily, I've been able to jump in and enjoy their time in Disney World with them. Mamaw and Papaw are leaving early tomorrow morning and the others have a couple more days here. It has been really fun and I've really enjoyed spending time with my family while I'm here. Here are some pictures:
