On Monday and Tuesday I had the privilege of working the morning shifts. At least I had my Ids this time, right!?! Also for anyone looking at dates...don't ask me how it works but for some odd reason my last update apparently happened the 28th. For the record I posted the 29th. You might be thinking "what ever Lindsay, we didn't notice until now..." but I was slightly confused. Moving on.
Wednesday I had off, as did 3 of my room mates. So Becca, Riley, Victoria and I spent the day at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. Lots of pictures were taken, as usual (and as usual, I have no idea as to when I'll get them up). Had lots of fun on Everest and interestingly enough It's Tough to be a Bug is actually kind of creepy. No, really. They do things that make you scream. Also, if you don't like bugs, especially spiders, don't go. However, on the upside, while you're waiting they have bugs buzzing well known Broadway tunes while you're waiting. The posters for said shows (in spoof form) are all over the walls. I think my favorite is still Antie is my favorite. Sorry Annie, you have been replaced by a red ant.
Hollywood is always fun. We did Tower of Terror twice and found there is this really creepy puppet that sits on top of luggage at the end of the ride. I don't think Victoria will be riding again anytime soon. I also found that I don't go into such a bad state of shock on Tower of Terror if I keep my eyes open. Who'd of thunk? Afterwards we decided to do the Back Lot Tour since we'd never done it before. It was Ok. There was a cool part where they give you first hand experience on how an action scene (earthquake and flash flood included) is shot on a scaled set. They also have all these props from movies out in the mini "bone yard". Sadly I was on the wrong side so I didn't get much of any shots which is sad cause they had motor-cycles from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, as well as the steam roller from Who Framed Rodger Rabbit, and two of the smaller ships from Star Wars (one was a snow cruiser the other was the sand cruiser). At the end was the really cool part. They had a little gallery entirely devoted to villains, so there were costumes and props from several of the more well known (including Joker, Two face, the Penguin, Vader and the live action
Cruella De Vil).Afterwards we went and ended up getting one of those put your face on this body pictures. We did a Star Wars one and we couldn't stop laughing about it...still can't in fact. Not sure if it's because 3 of us are now men, and look good to boot, or if it's because Victoria - the whitest of us all - posed as Master Windoo (Samuel L. Jackson's character). But, whatever. I was so much fun. We of course ended the nigh with Fantasmic where John Smith proceeded to do a "white man's dance" (you all know it...the shaking of the hips and pumping your arms in a circle dance) on the top of the steam boat at the end. Then we went to super Target. We were all pretty excited, let me tell you. Kind of sad ain't it. But it had a Starbucks, and cheaper groceries than Walmart or Publix, so you might be able to understand where I'm coming from.
Thursday was spent in class. Organizational Leadership is always fun. Heck, with a teacher like Frank it's kind of hard not to have fun. Exploring Marketing was really quite interesting since we had one of the managers from World/ Domestic marketing come in and talk to us. Sadly I can't ell you anything, otherwise I'd have to kill you. No, really. I was privy to information not allowed outside of Disney. Sorry. afterward I had a Pirate and Princess party, where it poured. I love rain it makes cranky guests go away.
And speaking of rain, we had a ton tonight. But the cool part was that we had a lightning storm where there was like a second between light and sound. Except for one...aka the one that struck the Main Street flagpole. Yes, you read right. Lightening struck the flagpole right outside the building I work in. Sadly I didn't see it due to be suck in the back, but I did see the light and hear it, and then heard about the happenings afterwards. Either way it was uber awesome, in my humble opinion. A group of us then went to Steak and Shake (Yah we have one right by the apartments!!!!) after we got out, due to early releases.
Oh that was nice, but bed would be nicer, so I bid you all a good night. Or perhaps a good morning since it's now 3 am. Also, I lied. There was a lot to write about. Sorry.
