Hello all! It's been a while, but I have quite a bit of stories to share with all of you! :) Since the last time I wrote I've pretty much been working 35+ hours a week due to spring break and the parks just being more busy than they were before, which is great! I've been working a lot of character shifts also, and I absolutely love it still! When I'm working with characters a 9+ hour shift only feels like it's about 5 hours, and I can most certainly live with that. :D The most recent characters that I have worked with have been over in Camp Minnie-Mickey...I've worked with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald thus far. So far my favorite character to work with has been Goofy, of course! He can do whatever he wants, and it's absolutely great being able to work with him.
So on with the guest stories that I can remember from these past few weeks, or days. :) The most recent stories that I have from today start with when I was working with Goofy tonight and these two little girls are waiting for Goofy to come back because he went to go check on Max and that he would be right back. One of the girls goes "Who is Max? I don't know who he is!" So I tell her and then she starts telling me about how she already has 3 Minnie Mouse signatures from different places and how she's in a different outfit every time she sees her. So I tell her "Well, she must have to hurry up and change outfits before she gets here to make sure she makes it here before you do!" And then Goofy came back out so that was the end of that conversation. Another family had a little girl and boy later on that were waiting for Goofy to come back and they were telling me about how they went to outer space, and all of the planets that they went to while they were in Epcot! The girl was telling me how she went to "real outer space" and the boy was bursting her bubble and saying "No we didn't, that's not real outer space!" In which I replied with, "Sure it is, I wish I could go there too!" and then that was the end of our conversation because Goofy came back!
The other day while I was working with Mickey Mouse there was a family that was going up to meet him and right before they were done the mom says to her child "Now tell Mickey how you're going to go poo poo in the potty now!" I started laughing hysterically because who says that to Mickey Mouse?! But other than that I don't have many stories about Mickey Mouse other than that everyone is always so excited to meet him, as they should be. :P
I think the hardest part about my job is having Make-A-Wish families come up to meet the characters. It's great because the characters spend a lot of extra time with them and make it absolutely special for the Make-A-Wish family and the child but it's the most sad thing in the world. Every time they come up I want to cry because it makes me really sad, but I hold back of course. I admire the strength that the families have and I'm glad that I get to be a part of making the memories for them.
All right that's all I can think of at this very moment so thanks for reading, I really do appreciate it! :)
