The excitement about my year in Disney has steadily
increased as I have gotten closer to my start date! I fly out this upcoming
Saturday at 6am! IT’S THIS WEEK!!!!!! It’s still seems strange to think that I
will be living in Florida
as of this Saturday, 5 days from now!
I have kept busy this whole month prepping for Disney, but I
have also had some Disney-themed fun before my departure. The weekend of
January 11th-13th I travelled to Waterloo , Ontario
Our Disney weekend consisted of catching up, making plans
for the super exciting year at Disney that we would be sharing together (Once
Upon A Time Tea Parties!!!!!!!!!), Laura and I being very Canadian about taking
turns in the front seat of Leah’s car, eating FAR too much, my being distracted
by the Broncos and Ravens playoff game while at dinner (sorry again!), all of
us crying for three solid hours while watching Les Miserables, and playing five
different Disney board games. Leah showed off her awesome drawing skills at
Disney Pictionary and had some fun solving The Sword and the Stone puzzle in
Disney Wheel of Fortune (Yay Leah!) All in all, the weekend was a
SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!
This past Friday I had one last get together with fellow
Wendy’s employees. I have worked at Wendy’s for the past six years with the
exception of two separate eight month periods where I was away at university. I
have officially finished working at Wendy’s as of January 9th and I
wanted to try to see as many people as possible before I left. On Friday we
went to East Side Mario’s for a big group dinner! There were 20 of us there,
making for quite the group for the servers to deal with! I got several presents
from my lovely Wendy’s friends, including a card and a shirt signed by most
Wendy’s employees. For those of you reading this, thank you so very much for
the presents! I really do appreciate it! In addition, one of my managers, Eve,
made me a beautiful and delicious Disney-themed cake!!!!!!!
The cake was fantastic and was a great way to end the
dinner. I really want to thank everyone for the time and effort put into the
preparations for the dinner. It really made for a magical dinner and I’m so
lucky to have such amazing friends! Thank you all!!!!!!
After the dinner, a number of us made our way to Retro
Planet in Barrie
to play laser tag! We managed to get the laser tag area just to ourselves both
times that we played, which made it so much more fun. We didn’t have to play
against any strangers and could get incredibly competitive with each other. I
was on the Red Team both times that we played and we won both times (sorry Blue
Team!) I also managed to get the overall highest score the second time we
played!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!! That was super awesome!
After laser tag, we all proceeded to play the token arcade
games until the place closed. My friend Weslee and I had an air hockey
tournament and I won two games to one (sorry Weslee, we’ll have our rematch at
some point!) We cashed in our tokens and I got a sparkly Disney princess
colouring set (I thought it was appropriate!) It was a fantastic night!
Apart from my preparations and Disney-themed gatherings, I
have been thinking a lot about what I am most looking forward to in the next
two weeks. I am so excited to get my Disney name tag! I can’t wait to see my
name and home town on there. I think that’s when it will really hit home with
me. I am also excited about getting my lumberjack costume. I’m really looking
forward to wearing it and representing Canada ! I really can’t wait for
Traditions. I’ll get to go to Disney
University
