TRADITIONS and Magic Kingdom

Oh My Goodness... Not even sure where to start.... This was the first Disney focused day and the day i was most looking forward to.

It did not start out to ideal....
Waiting for the bus!

But we did make it eventually, and that's when the magic began.

walking down the hall you saw a few friends.

Sitting waiting for everything to start our names would pop up.



Basically traditions was just a day of learning about working for Disney but it was so much fun and so magical. They made the boring stuff exciting. I was VERY emotional and cried a few times of pure happiness knowing that I am now a part of the Magic that Disney World brings to every guests face. They showed a few videos and read letters that were heart string pullers. This is definitely where I want to be! Part of the BEST company in the World.

Here are a few pictures that will show you the excitement of my day!
UK, Canada and Germany
 Got my very first pair of ears for the year!!!!  
 The Boss came with special presents!
My Name Tag!
My New Best Friend!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I cried the whole bus ride home from Traditions... a mixture of happy tears and sad tears. Its a very long story but I was not having a very good day. As soon as that name tag was placed in my hand I felt the tears coming. It is official. I am here. I felt a piece of my heart break because all I wanted was to be able to show my mom and hug her. There was lots going on in my life already by this point and to be honest ll I wanted was to be with my mom. (Can you say Homesick already) Mom and I skyped for a bit to make me feel better but she knew that i was broken and I know it was hard on her too not being able to be with me and fix it.

Because I had already met some amazing people they were not going to let anything dampen my spirit so I said good bye to mom and we were off to Magic Kingdom!!! 

We got celebrating buttons to saying that we finished Traditions. We had many Cast Members through out the park comment as every cast member no matter your position has to go through traditions. 

Our first stop was to meet a very special Pixie! 

Scarlett and I then added to our ear collection. 

Such an amazing show. The first attraction of the night.

 Only waited 25 minutes to meet these beautiful ladies!

 We enjoyed wishes from the back of the castle and oh my goodness you are surrounded by fireworks back there. Unfortunately we missed part so it was not officially my first wishes!

The people mover. One of the BEST rides we went on. Scarlett high-fived someone in a different car. It was the highlight of her night! 

The HIGHLIGHT of my night was......

Meeting the one and only! She was such a gem! 
She even signed my backpack, it felt like i was 7 years old again! I was so happy!


It was such a magical day and night. Despite the homesickness and all the other emotions I was feeling I am so happy to have already made such amazing friends. They truly have made these first days something to remember. I cant wait to see what this year has in store for me. Yes i miss home but before I know it I will be back in Calgary again so I am going to enjoy every day possible!
