Character fun and a GSF card! :o

So I know I haven't posted in a while, sorry those who actually read this blog. :( I've been super busy with work and just being out pretty much all the time, which has been great! So now that I have a little bit of time to spare I'll let you all in on what's been going on in the life of Danielle. Since I last posted I've pretty much been out every night either at the parks or out at House of Blues having a good time with friends or even playing softball with some of my fellow cast members! By the way, I'm awful at softball and should never be allowed to play it again! :) Work has been great as usual and I never want to leave this place. I have a few stories to share as well!

So the most recent things that I remember are from the past couple of days. Yesterday was the first time I got to work with the characters since being character trained. The first character I got to work with was Winnie the Pooh, which was awesome! It was a bit nerve-wracking at first just because I didn't know exactly what to do in that particular location, but after about ten minutes I was good to go. I worked with Pooh for about two hours and then after my break I got to go work with Eeyore! This was also a lot of fun and being able to see all of the kids (and sometimes adults) faces when they first get to meet Pooh and Eeyore was just priceless and makes the day that much more magical. :) Also, working with characters makes the day go by so incredibly fast, and I know I say it all the time but now I don't know how time went by fast when I was taking photos in front of the Tree of Life! Especially since when you're working with characters you're constantly moving around to get the picture of the little girl or boys face as they walk up to the character for the first time or when you're trying to get that photo of the character hugging the guest. It's so much fun to capture those memories for every guest that comes by!

My first GSF card! :D1

So today I earned my first Great Service Fanatic card! :D For those of you who don't know, it's a card that someone fills out for you when they see you doing something good for a guest or with a guest. Mine was for getting down to a little princess' level and talking to her about the park, it was also her birthday so I was telling her Happy Birthday! So when I saw that I had a GSF card I was really excited and happy about it, because that's something that can help me out as well! Later on in the day I got to work with Goofy for about an hour and a half and it was SO FUN. Goofy can do whatever he wants, it's so funny! He decided he was going to hang out with the cast member over at the ice cream cart instead of coming and taking photos with the guests at first, the attendant had to tell him "Ok Goofy come on!" and from there he was just so hysterical the entire time! And as per usual it was time to go home before I even realized it! Well I'll end this here since I have to work at 8:30 tomorrow morning, which I'm not exactly looking forward to, haha. Thanks for reading and I hope to have more stories soon! :)
