Random Pics

Here are some random pictures of my life right now for your enjoyment:

Sci-fi Dine in theater milk shake. It's the restruant that is set up like a drive in theater. And thier milk Shakes are GREAT! :-)


Even though I have eaten out more then a time or two I've also done some cooking of my own, and here is the evidence to prove it. :-)

One of my favorite photo spots. "Walt and His Dream"




Fun at the Animal Kingdom. Too bad the pics didn't turn out any better...we might have to go again sometime. :-)

One of the original Mickey Mouse club costumes is on display in the "One Man's Dream" Musueam near Toy Story.



Ooooo, I'm being choosen! Fun Story...the cars on my ride all house computers to keep the game running...and the start-up noice they make is the aliens going "Ooooo" So when we open the ride the cars all "wake-up" going "Ooooo". And when we have to add a vehicle during the day because one needs repair of for whatever reason... it comes into the station and goes "Ooooo" :-) It makes me giggle.



Giant Toys in the que of my ride. I like the huge barrel of Monkeys the best. :-)


Poster in the outside portion of Toy Story's que.




Expedition Everest in the Animal Kingdom. It's a pretty fun little rollar coaster. :-)



We decided to take a "roomate costume" picture. From left to right: Olivia (Merchandise, Magic Kingdom, Frontier Land), Karen (Attractions, Hollywood Studios, Toy Story Midway Mania), Dee (Merchandise, Magic Kingdom, "Glo" those carts with all the lighty thingies), Tracy (Attractions, Magic Kingdom, Goofy's Barn Planes Ride), Tiffany (Costuming, Epcot & Hollywood Studios, The Royal Closet (the movie character costumes)), April (Food and Beverage, Port Orleans Resort, Riverside Food Court).

April playing with the spatula I got mom for her Birthday.

Me, showing off the super cool patch on the back of my jacket.

Not My Day

Today has not been my day.

Grr #1
Got up this morning to get on tech support with HP, hopefully to fix my computer. (Neither itunes nor adobe could find a CD/DVD burner on my computer.) So I go through an hour and 20 mins of tech support with HP. At the end of it I can burn files with the program that came on the computer but, "your problem with Adobe and itunes is a software issue, and you'll need to contact their tech support." Then she proceeds to tell me that most likely I will not be able have both programs installed at the same time.

Grrr #2
After all that disappointment I reinstalled MSN messenger because my web cam hasn't been working. Then i had Leslie get online real quick to test it. No dice. I can see her but she still can't see me.

Grrrr#3
Went to work to pick up my check...everything was okay there until I get to the bank. I wanted to deposit a certain amount of it and get the rest in cash. The teller says, "Ma'am you might want to deposit all of this check or you're balance will be into the negative."
"What!?!?! Into the negative? I've never taken any money out of this account!"
"Well, no but this is the account you set up for Disney bill pay right?"
"Disney bill pay? No. What's that?"
"Okay let me look into this."
Long story short, apparently when I set up the account 4 weeks ago the lady who helped me set it up somehow showed that I had pulled the entire check out of the savings account, instead of cashing the check, which is what I did. Grrr. It's a good thing I've been keeping my paperwork so I could prove I was in the right.

American Idol

Today was my day off. It also happened to be the press party for the Grand Opening of a new attraction in my park called the American Idol Experience. So to celebrate ABC invited lots of stars from the show to come and "break in" the new stage. (It wasn't that they were all going to perform, but they wanted lots of stars to be there.) Tickets to see the show went way to fast for my room mates and I to get our hands on, but we did use our friends who happened to be working today to find out where the best place to stand to see people would be. And showing up 2 and a half hours early and standing through a 3 hour motorcade was tiring...but really fun!!!! Check out these pics I got of American Idol stars. We were the second people behind the barricade. It was really neat. Have I ever written on here about how I really LOVE working for Disney? This was SO cool.


Of course Mickey was there dressed up in tail to greet the Stars.
