First Day Off!!!

Hey peeps!

It's my first day off since I got here woo hoo! As soon as I finish writing this post I will be heading for the Epcot theme park, should be fun. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest just came out on DVD yesterday, so they have it playing in the background in the Learning Centre here (which is where I am typing this) awesome!

Dec 5th

Started at 12 today. Thought I was going to be late because I though I had lost my Disney ID card as it wasn't in the lanyard I keep it in. Spent half an hour running around looking for it, going to all the places I had been asking people if someone had turned it in. Turns out I just put it in my wallet. How foolish did I feel. Started out the day working on the script a bit, trying to get it down. Did a couple of dead shows around the ride (this means doing the ride without any guests). I keep on stuffing up the actors names for the movies that I don't know. (I get Dick Powell from Footlight Parade easy enough because I find his name so amusing). But we need to get the script line for line perfect otherwise they give us a reprimand., which sucks because the script is so bland and clunky and crap. Example in Mary Poppins you HAVE to say Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke and NOT SAY Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews. Go figure. Anyway after this my trainer did something really mean, started putting people on my tram and says 'Oh your going to do it live now, good luck!' So feeling completely not ready, they get me to do my first live show. Didn't do too bad, didn't do all that good either. Was just relieved when it was all over. After this did some loading exercises and evacuation routes. Got 2 doors into showing the evacuation exits when the other trainer (who likes to climb thing) comes up and goes 'lets go play on the catwalks!'. So we spent about an hour just exploring the catwalks above the ride where they hang all the lights and stuff which was pretty awesome. Then we learnt what to do when the ride closes at night and went home.

And that’s all that happened. Anyway now to hit Epcot!

Toora!

GREAT MOVIE RIDE FUN FACT: The two audio animatronic gangsters used in the gangster scene are replicas of two pirates from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. If you open the mail box in Gangster, they have photos of them.
