Disney Parade

I had two days of rehearsals for the Electrical Parade and it was so much fun! I learned all of the roles in the Snow White unit (except Snow White of course), but I am only able to do four of them because of my height. So I am officially friends with Sneezy, Sleepy, Bashful, and Grumpy! The first three are on the float and Grumpy dances in the street. It should be a good time! I have my first parade shift next week and I'm really excited and a little nervous.

Halloween is here!!! Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is the coolest thing ever! I haven't been yet but I have worked a party so I got to see some cool things. First, there is the parade, which is awesome. So far it's my favorite that I have seen. You can only see it at a party. There are special 'HalloWishes' fireworks. You go trick-or-treating throughout the park and get tons of candy. Trick-or-treating in Magic Kingdom? Yes please! And then there are the characters. All the villains are out, of course. The princes are with their princesses. Tarzan, Jane, and Terk are out. Donald is a pumpkin, and he is so darn cute! Mickey, Minnie, and Daisy are dressed up too. There are two dance parties: Woody's Hoedown and Stitch's Club 626. My family is coming down in October and we are going to a party and I can't wait!

It has been several weeks and a bunch of exciting things are happening! I have been going to workshops as much as I can, including a twirling workshop. This workshop was for the candy cane drill team for the Christmas Parade. I've never twirled before, but by the end I was starting to get the hang of it...until we started going across the floor. That's when I knew that I would not be auditioning for this particular part of the parade. I certainly enjoyed learning some of the moves though!

My training group had a reunion when we were scheduled for a feedback session. It was so much fun seeing everyone together and reminiscing about all the great things that happened during training.

Everyone has their favorite character and mine has always been Cinderella. However, now that I have been working for a while, I am officially obsessed with Donald and Stitch. They are just the cutest guys I have ever seen! They are so much fun and are so mischievous. They can get away with being crazy and silly and they always get a laugh!

The other day I was a spare, which means I wait around until they need me to fill in. I got pulled to be friends with the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland! The White Rabbit and Alice got to ride the teacups with a little boy, and I know that White Rabbit had a blast! White Rabbit could ride the teacups with Alice all day!

Halloween decorations are up in Magic Kingdom which means that the holidays are approaching! I have never been to Disney for the holidays, except for our New Year's trip last year. Most of the Christmas decor was already down, but we did get to rave in EPCOT. I'm really excited to see all the cool stuff that they do for the holidays. There is a cast preview for the Halloween parade tomorrow which I will be going to. I have a couple friends in it and I can't wait to see them! Also for Halloween they have Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. You get to dress up and trick or treat in Magic Kingdom, see characters in their Halloween costumes, and of course ride the rides! I have been scheduled to hang out with Stitch for opening night of the party's and I can't wait!

Now for the BIG news! Last week I found out that I am going through parade orientation!!! I will be able to do parades now, and I can pick up untrained roles. Then, when the new schedule came out, I found out that I will be trained for Disney's Electrical Parade! This is a really big deal for me because I have been waiting anxiously for this opportunity. I start next week and can't wait to find out exactly what I will be doing. I know that I'll be with Snow White; perhaps I will be friends with a dwarf!

Here are some pictures I took of the parade:
