I know I haven't updated lately, but that's because really there's only so many times I can tell you I was a seater. I mean, really. Seating is not that fascinating. And on my days off, I always do the same thing: groceries, and a park. Usually Magic Kingdom. I can tell you, though, that if I ever have to assign on a Friday the 13th again, I'm probably going to cry. And then possibly run screaming in the opposite direction. It was an absolute nightmare. Saturday was normal, and I talked to Janice about spieling the menu to her the next week. (We have to memorize the menu and then spiel it to two different managers before we can be put on the list to go into food running and service.)
I spent most of that week studying, so I don't remember a lot of it. Pretty sure groceries still weren't involved this week, unless we're at the three week mark, because then I finally did do groceries. On Saturday I spieled to Janice, and not-quite-passed, but I was oddly okay with that. Not sure why. It was a rather un-Mel-ish reaction. Anyway, I ran into Heather and (server) Melanie when they were on their way out to walk around EPCOT for a while, so I joined them. Mel bought a ton of tree decorations, without having a tree to put them on. Heather went off to join Jeremy for dinner, so Mel and I had a Mel-date for dinner at Tutto Italia. It was fantastic! And it was the first time there for both of us, so it was a really neat experience. They have really good canneloni.
Oh, wait! Somewhere in there was the Verry Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom. SO much fun. Not quite as much fun as Halloween, and the parade wasn't as cool, but it was still great. I saw the castle lighting ceremony (yeah, I'm not kidding. CASTLE lighting), they made it snow on Main Street, and then the group of us beelined it for Tomorrowland because the soft opening of Space Mountain was going on. The ride's been closed for refurbishment since I got here, so that was kind of a big deal. It was so much fun! And, okay, there were a lot of times when I was ducking, and I was shorter than all the other people with me. Except Trina. We're the same height. After that we went over to Cosmic Ray's for the free hot chocolate and sugar cookies they were giving out, and stopped by the dance party that was going on there for a while with Chip and Dale. Dan got challenged to a dance off (he kinda started it) with a chipmunk, and we all did Thriller. Then we did a few more rides, including Peter Pan, which was shockingly pretty much a walk-on, and then headed to Main Street once again for the Holiday Wishes fireworks. They were really neat, but in my pictures they're mostly indistinguishable from regular Wishes. It was time to get our spot for the parade then, so we trekked over to Frontierland and sat near the Country Bear Jamboree (which I still have yet to do since I've been here). I think the best thing about the parade was seeing a lot of things I'm used to seeing on TV in the Christmas Day parade, like the soldiers and reindeer. Right at the end of the night, I caught the show at the castle forecourt stage. I was standing really close to the front, too, so I got some great shots.
Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled Mel. I spent more time studying, because I was spieling to Linda on Wednesday. I passed that, and also got my re-spiel done from the not-quite-passed one. A cupcake contest had been declared at work, and it was taking place the next day, on Thanksgiving. So I spent the rest of that night working on my cupcakes: strawberry ice cream cupcakes with white chocolate cream cheese icing, and a strawberry slice and mint leaf for garnish on top. Yeah, I was pretty proud of myself. So naturally I was slightly disappointed when I lost. I mean, I knew I wouldn't win for presentation, because that was clearly going to the girls who had used candy corn to make their cupcakes look like turkeys and corn on the cob. But I figured I'd at least win for taste! But no, that went to them too. I lost to a Betty Crocker cake mix. I am slightly ashamed. Otherwise, Thanksgiving was a disaster and I have no desire to work one at Walt Disney World ever again, lest I go on a murderous rampage. Or at least seriously freak out on someone.
Friday was the first day of the Candlelight Processional show at EPCOT for the holidays, and it honestly wasn't as crowded in the parks as I thought it would be. I worked popcorn, so nothing particularly fascinating there. The other day, Selina and I went to Magic Kingdom and had a lot of fun. I rode the Tomorrowland Speedway for the first time in my life. I wasn't missing much. It was reeeeeally busy that day, though, so we didn't get to do a lot.
Yesterday Michelle came to movie night for the first time. Kind of. She's leaving this week, so she wanted to come to a movie night before she left. This being her first and last, she was given the pick for the week. We watched Beerfest. However, she's overbooked herself so much for stuff in her last week that she left not quite halfway into the movie. Which she'd never seen. Oh well. Such is life.
No idea what we're playing at games night tonight.

Showboat, Teppanyaki, and Blisters, Oh My!
So Wicked was a blast and a half. I went over to Heather's early and we geeked about the show while Bryce sat at the kitchen table, probably wondering what kind of crack we were on. We looked at a couple different illegal recordings before deciding to watch the London cast. They were British, which was weird, and their Glinda wasn't particularly awesome, but we got over it. The Elphaba was good, and their Wizard was actually very good. Then, being the nerds that we are, we found a recording of a 30-minute condensed production that ran at Universal Japan. Being a theme park show, it had its own theatre, built around the green and clockwork themes of the production. ...Well, it looked like someone had spilled green paint all over 'it's a small world,' to be honest. It was fun to see bits of the show in another language, especially one in which I can pick up a few (completely useless outside context) words.
Wednesday I headed back to the Magic Kingdom, determined to see Tiana's Showboat Jubilee. I haven't talked about this before, have I? ....Well, working under the assumption that I haven't, it's a new show that debuted here at the Magic Kingdom featuring characters and songs from The Princess and the Frog, which comes out next month. They've decorated the Liberty Belle Riverboat, and three times a day it goes around the Rivers of America with Princess Tiana and crew on board singing and dancing. It's so cool! And the music isn't half bad, either. Totally can't wait for the movie now. I did some shopping (being November, I've started picking up a few Christmas presents here and there, so that I can be done by early December as usual and then start shipping them out), and walked around aimlessly for a while. Then, as I was walking out of the Emporium at the end of the night, the strap on one of my brown flats snapped! I was SO not happy about that. I still have to see if I can't get them fixed somewhere, because I seriously love those shoes.
On Thursday there were about fifty bajillion people on podium so I got an ER after a half hour of work. ...Yeah. So, it being Thursday, I called Heather up to see if she had plans. She didn't, so she made her way over to EPCOT so that she could try some of Food & Wine before it ended on Sunday. While waiting for her, I walked around, feeling acutely uncomfortable in my undershirt-tank top and polyester work pants. So I stopped in a store and used my awesome holiday cast discount to buy a really cute skort, as well as a new pair of slip-on shoes (they're black and white Mickey skimmers). Joy of joys, though, my new shoes ripped my feet open, as all of my new shoes tend to do, so half way through our day I had to switch back to socks and work shoes. But that was okay, because once we'd gotten a drink or two in Heather, she decided that we should check out Teppan Edo in the Japan pavilion. This is a teppanyaki-style restaurant (translation for the Asian Culture Challenged: there's a gigantic stainless steel grill built into your table, and the chefs cook your meal in front of you), and the chefs do tricks and stuff so it's like dinner and a show. The food was SO good! It's been a while since I've had good Japanese. ...Or any Japanese that wasn't quick sushi from the grocery store or Food & Wine booth. Ros and Carol, do you guys remember the last time we were at Sushiman? Yeah, that would've been it. Then we did a Kim Possible mission (they give you a cell phone thing that guides you through a specific pavilion as you "help Team Possible catch -insert villain here-"), which was more fun than it should be, and then it was time for fireworks. Being Canadians, we watched them from the Canada pavilion.
Friday we were going to go to the cast preview of the Christmas party parade (I worked a morning seating shift), but the directions were a little sketchy and vague, so as non-Magic Kingdom cast members, Heather, Ali, Lindsay and I elected to not go. Instead we went out for a late dinner at the Outback. Having never been to an Outback before, it was interesting. After having worked in a Disney restaurant, though, you definitely notice a difference in the level of service. The food was good, though. Three words: peanut butter pie. They give you, like, a double slice though (seriously, the thing is huge), so I got most of mine boxed up and brought it home. Good thing, too, because I needed it after Saturday. I was assigning again, and the numbers were nuts. It was fairly slow, and the numbers at the end were rather on the sad side, but the party sizes were kinda ridiculous. So many parties of 8!
Sunday.... to be honest, I don't really remember Sunday, which means it wasn't particularly interesting. I think I was seating.... Ah! Yes, I was seating. 2-9. Nothing fascinating happened. Movie night was Rachel's pick, so we watched The Wedding Singer. A LOT of people showed up for that one. I actually brought Sayaka along with me, since she's leaving and when I told her what we were watching she said she liked Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. She thinks my group of friends is highly entertaining, which I suppose is always a good thing.
Monday night I had decided I was going to Canadian Girls, since they were partying with other girls and the theme was Pajama Party. I didn't last too long there, though. They're a great bunch, but parties really aren't my thing. So I went running back to Craig's apartment and begged the games night crew to take me back. I took David's place on a team for Scene It when he had to leave. The amount of non-Disney movies I've seen is kind of pathetic. I need to work on that. Oh, and at some point before that I was cleaning my drawers on my bedside table because I thought I'd lost a book. Turns out it's at home, but at least I got some cleaning done. Not that you can tell. The drawers look exactly the same as they did before.
Tuesday was a lot of fun, because I got to play tour guide. Melissa from my arrival group hadn't been to the Magic Kingdom since she was little, and didn't remember it (how someone goes about working for Disney for two months without stepping into the Magic Kingdom is beyond me), and she knows I'm beyond freakish about these things, so off we headed in the early afternoon for a tour. It closed at 7 for the first night of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party, so we had about 6 hours to explore. We did all the major classic rides that don't majorly suck (coughDumbocough), and I told her enough useless information to probably last a lifetime. It's been a long time since I saw someone jump in the Haunted Mansion, so that was fun, and her reactions to PhilharMagic were fantastic! We had a really terrible skipper on Jungle Cruise, though, so hopefully she'll go back again sometime and have someone better. Like, seriously, who ACTUALLY explains how to identify an African elephant?! Everyone knows the proper way is to say, "That's an elephant and we're in Africa." But yeah. Then I called home, and clicked around on the internet for a while, I think.
Yesterday I woke up and thought, "Screw groceries and laundry. I feel like going to the Studios!" So I did. First, though, I had to go to EPCOT and pick up a going-away present for my roommate from the Canada pavilion. Then I heard someone mention Everest while I was walking through the park, taking pictures of all the Christmas stuff they have up now, so I got it into my head that I really kinda wanted to ride Everest again, too. So I did. But there isn't a direct bus from EPCOT to Animal Kingdom, apparently, so I took the bus to the All-Star resorts (I needed something there anyway), and then headed over. There was a long wait, even for the single rider line (not sure how that one happened, but whatever), so I grabbed a fastpass and went DeVine hunting. For those of you who haven't been to Animal Kingdom, and for my family members who probably don't remember, she's an Animal Kingdom character-type thing with stilts on her hands and feet, painted green, and draped entirely in vines to blend in with her surroundings and every once in a while she moves. I got some great pictures of her, and then went over to see who was at Camp Minnie-Mickey. In with the usual crowd were Thumper and Miss Bunny, so I got my picture taken with them. Trekked back to Everest, rode that, and then hopped the Hollywood Studios bus. I spent most of my time walking around this time. I stopped in at Tattooine Traders to pick up Wicket's Christmas present, and then went in circles over and over and over again, taking pictures of aaaaaaall the Christmas decorations up around the park. It's actually kind of ridiculous. I also added Prince Caspian to my character photo list. I stopped for dinner because I was kind of hungry and extremely bored at this point, and I didn't want to do rides anymore, but I wanted to wait until 6 for the Christmas stuff they have going on there. Then it was close enough to 6 that I headed over to where the crowd was gathering on the Streets of America. Oh. My. God. So, the Studios houses what is known as The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. The ENTIRE Streets of America section of the Studios is draped top to bottom and end to end in Christmas lights. And they blink on and off. To music. And they have fake snow. SO FREAKIN' COOL! I have so many pictures from that, my camera actually ended up full at the end of the night.
Today, I assigned. Tomorrow, I assign. Saturday, I assign. Wait until about Monday before asking how I am.

Update. No originality whatsoever.
Long seater shift is long. Just thought I'd throw that out there. It was really boring, too, and my feet kinda hurt by the end of it. I sat some people from Woodstock, though, so that was really cool! My ear also started twinging occasionally. Almost fell asleep during movie night, so I decided to head home and hit the hay. Monday was popcorn cart day, and my ear was starting to bother me a little more than the previous day. Whatever, I did cash, counted out, and went to games night. We had a blast playing Things in a Box, and then I went home to sleep again. Tuesday was a Wal-Mart day, because I was running out of pretty much everything. I have now vowed that if I ever run out of milk and orange juice at the same time, I will only buy ONE at the store and suffer without the other for a week. I don't like carrying both, along with everything else I need, aaaaaaall the way back to my place. By dinnertime on Tuesday, I was in a lot of pain. So I called the clinic with the free transportation, only to find out that without a claims form for my insurance, it was going to cost me over $200 just for the visit, nevermind any medicine I might need. So there were lots of phone calls with Mom, a lot of stress, and me crying for a while from a mix of pain and stress and probably tiredness too. Because, see, I could get a claims form easily online, but I don't have a printer, and the ones in the computer lab and the clubhouse don't work. Then I took some advil and played The Sims and life was okay again. I stayed home from musicals night, though. Wednesday, more pain, so I eventually sucked it up and spent a couple hours in the clinic. I found out I had an ear infection in my inner ear AND my canal, so that was tons of fun and required two prescriptions. Joy. Thursday I called in sick to work because I was still in too much pain. I also ran out of advil that day, which was totally not cool.
Friday went okay, I guess. I was assigning on my own for the first time, so that was really nerve-wracking. Lunch was almost dead at points, despite that I kept taking walk-ins. Dinner was pretty much business as usual, with the lack of walk-ins, full dining room, and long wait list. I wasn't too late getting all-in, though, so no one was screaming at me at the end. I'll get better with practice, I hope. Saturday was a seating shift, and consisted of the normal mix of awesome people and crabby people. Also a lot of people in costume, considering it was Halloween. There was a group of adults at the end of the night with really awesome Disney costumes, and they were a lot of fun.
Sunday I was a trainer for the first time ever, which was really scary. It was worse because I was training on restaurant stocker, which you'll note I've done, like, twice since being trained. Thankfully my trainee was a re-hire, so she didn't require a lot of explanation for things. Hopefully I didn't screw up too badly. I mean, I totally would've been okay for training pretty much anything else because I've done everything else often enough (except greeter.... I never seem to be greeter, either). I wish I could've traded training shifts with Craig, since he was training seaters and that's what I do more than anything else I think. Movie night was Heather's pick, so we watched Evil Dead 2. So much fun! So much blood. So much cheesiness. I probably shouldn't have gone, since I had a service training class at 8 the next morning, but I wasn't tired at all and knew I wouldn't sleep anyway, so I sat there and watched bad 80s horror.
Service class was ....well, it was really boring and I kind of wanted to die. That may be a slight exaggeration. We sat there and got talked at by a very American old man about things that were really bloody obvious, and then watched videos that I think came from the 70s. And then he talked at us some more. In the afternoon, he talked at us about wine, and we peeled and ate grapes. No word of a lie. I think the only saving grace was that Craig (arrival group), Melissa, and Rob (not arrival group Rob, the other one) and I sat at the table together and kept each other awake. Mostly I think it was me being kept awake by watching Craig and Melissa torment each other in that awesome, best-friend way. I was still a little wired after class from the coffee I'd had, so Rob and I hopped over to do a few rides at Magic Kingdom. For some strange reason, it was really crowded. Then we came home and I pretty much collapsed on my bed. Eventually I was coherent enough to send a quick text to Craig to tell him I wasn't coming to games night, and then it was back to the collapsage.
And that brings me to now. My ear still feels a little off, but I'm not really in pain anymore, so that's good. I'm going to kick around for a while, do the laundry I haven't done for a week and a half, and then head over to Heather's place for Wicked tonight. I'm SO excited for this one! Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Wicked, and Heather loves it even more than I do, so I imagine we'll scare everyone else sitting there.
