Monday, February 16
I was feeling back to normal health wise, and I was feeling a little better in my emotions as well. I didn’t have to work until 4pm - woohoo! - so I had planned to head to Epcot early for some lunch before it was time to clock in.
I had heard a rumor that we couldn’t do the thing where we showed our blue ID and get day passes anymore, but I hadn’t gotten my real park pass either yet (or so I thought). I called home and had to make sure it didn’t end up in Kansas accidentally. Nope. So I called cast admissions and they confirmed my id wouldn’t work anymore, but they transfered me to HR to make sure my address here was right. That lady was super helpful and mentioned I should check at my apartment’s front desk because of many reasons.
Dianne was also headed out to a park, so she said she’d go check and call to let me know if they were there. As I was getting dressed she called and sure enough they were there. I have no idea why they didn’t let me know, but I didn’t really care because it meant I could head to a park!
It was a beautiful day! The sun was shining and the sky was blue as could be. I found a super close parking spot (not always easy), caught a cast bus to the front of the park and headed in. I walked straight through the front of the park to La Cantina de San AngelIt had been weeks since I had any tacos, so I ordered the Tacos de Barbacoa. I headed inside to find a table by the water and sat down to enjoy.
After that I found a lovely bench where I sat for a bit to just soak up the sun, but before I headed in to work I decided to try a cronut. I had been reading and hearing about those things for a really long time but had never found or tried one. It’s a cross between a croissant and a donut and everyone seems to love them. As I stood in line I decided if I was going to have one I should do it up and get the deluxe version with soft serve on top.
Oh my goodness it was even better than in my wildest imagining. Seriously. Get yourself one, and definitely go for the soft serve. I was sitting on a bench eating it. People walking by were checking it out and the people next to me were super interested. They asked what it was and decided they should get one too. I hope they loved it as much as I did.
It was time to get to work soon, so I headed out through a cast exit and headed to change into my costume. I ran into a co-worker I like a lot in the changing room and chatted with her a bit before I got back on the bus to my location. I got strollers right away which as you know I love. There were nice FastPass workers and greeters out there while I was and I had fun talking with them and answering guest questions. One of my leaders stopped by to let me know he would be on leave for a while because it was time for his baby girl to be born!
The rest of work was kind of slow. I gave out a lot of stickers and sold people some stuff. Later in the evening, there were two kids dressed up perfectly like Mary Poppins and Bert and they came in the store with the real Mary Poppins for a while. That was precious.
During Illuminations, the fireworks show, it gets really, really slow in the store so I was able to stand outside and watch a bit of that while it happened. I was off at 10 and happy to go home.
It was a pretty good day!
