The fun and the food never ends....

...Here at Play-n-Dine!

Ah, Play-n-Dine. My home away from home. My nest. My prison. I have been trapped there day after day for a month and a half now, and I'm pleading that the new schedule (which comes out today!) will add a little spice to my Playhouse Disney life. And by that I mean a step out of routine, AWAY from my Playhouse Disney life.

It's not that I mind Play-n-Dine. I never watch the shows but the location is easy and the day gets off early, leaving each evening free. Plus the kitchen often brings treats for us to enjoy backstage. In fact of all the places I've worked, if I had to choose one place to be stuck for half my program every single day, Play-n-Dine would probably make the list. It's just that I don't WANT to be stuck in one place every single day for half my program. I liked it when I moved around to different parks or at least different locations on a weekly (or daily) basis. While it can be nice getting to know the people I work with, 3 months is a very short time and I'd rather experience more locations and be less acquainted with my coworkers than the other way around. Still, I have had some good times at old Hollywood and Vine.

Anyway, that has been my life for the past few weeks. There's really not much else to tell. Over the past few days I've done a bit of shopping after work at Downtown Disney and the Premium Outlets, and I also went to Magic Kingdom one day with John and Steffie and we saw a few shows and rode a few rides. The standard. It never gets old though, never.

I was a little upset about a few things at work the past few days but I'm over it now. The first is that I'd signed up for a workshop on the 8th of July hoping against hope that I could give my Play-n-Dine shift away. It was a workshop I really wanted to go to and the alternative was the daily routine, filling my least favourite shoes--the largest of them all. But Playhouse shifts are hard to give away (that's why I've been force bid here for the past month and a half) and I received no interest whatsoever. At least Meagan got to go since she had the day off, so she could tell me about it. After hearing about it from her, it did sound really cool, but I'm glad I didn't call in to work just to go.

The second thing was that I'd hoped to be remeasured and put into a different height category. I'd heard it was really easy to do and only took a few minutes. So I was surprised when I got a negative response. They basically told me that remeasurements only happen every 6 months, so there was no point in remeasuring me and that I'd just have to wait and see what height range I get into next time if I ever come back. Oh well. With only 3 weeks to go, I wasn't expecting much of a change in my schedule anyway.

Speaking of three weeks to go, there are only 20 days left in July! Or at least, to me there are. The 31st doesn't count because the 30th is the final day of my program. This trip is rapidly coming to a close so I need to make the most of it while I'm here. That's all I can do. The time that has passed has passed much too quickly, but I have had a lot of fun and hundreds of memories have been made. Hopefully I will hold onto most of them forever, and I know that even once the details fade, the Disney spirit will remain in my heart as long as I live.

Ok, enough with the corny. I really didn't have anything to report but what I did have was spare time so I figured I'd give you guys something to chew on to keep you happy :) (I managed to beef it up pretty well considering!) So I guess I'll leave you with that for now and I'll go get myself some dessert. Then hopefully I will get to bed early tonight-- another early breakfast date tomorrow with June, Leo, Handy Manny and Jojo!
