1.) The new portion of this TR will be about the trip we had with my grandma and aunt! It was such a fun trip with tons of pictures and I can't wait to show you!
2.) We celebrated my birthday last month and what better way to celebrate than by doing the four parks challenge?!
3.) The day after my birthday we lost our dog Riley. She hadn't been doing well and after taking her to the vet the vet told us she had cancer. This is the main reason we haven't been around because we are still coping and wanted to let our DIS family know but it's still hard to write about it.
4.) I am officially on a wait list for a full or part time job at Disney! Please cross your fingers that something comes up in time! If I am not offered anything by the start of my extension I will have to wait until May to try again My extension will be doing merchandise at the All Star Resorts so while I am not too upset about that I would still prefer to be offered part time. So any pixie dust is helpful!
5.) Work has been going well and I had a very special guest the other day... I had Neil Patrick Harris in my turtle talk show with his family! I was so excited I was able to interact with him, his husband and kids and was able to take part in a magical moment with just them and Crush after. Such a memorable moment!
So that's about it! I will begin the TR tomorrow on here and I will throw in some pictures from the different parks we have been to that are decorated for Christmas
So sorry about your dog. We lost our cat earlier this year and it is always painful to lose a furbaby. they mean more to us than we realize sometimes.
Glad you are still at Disney - we will be at AS Mu in Feb and my DD so wants to meet you! Wherever you are and whichever job you land, you will be great!
So sorry about your dog!! Animals can be so much a part of the family.
I hope to see you next month when we are down. I will try to PM you in a few days.
I'm so sorry about your furbaby. It's hard to lose a doggy.
Fingers crossed you get your full time gig!
So cool to meet NPH and his family! I love him and his family is just gorgeous.
Jill in CO
So sorry about your dog. I lost my first dog 5 years ago to cancer and it's still hard to talk about
Good luck on getting a full-time position! Will you still be at TT or Ellen's in January? Hoping to meet up with you!
Aww I'm really looking forward to the trip with your grandma. I know that had to be special.
The four park challenge is no joke. Congratulations on completing it plus I love the way you documented it here. Plus the ride at Epcot was the Seas!! That just seems right.
Aww Caitlin (and Dawn and Dale) I am still so very saddened to hear about the passing of your baby. And the fact that her name is Riley makes me even sadder. The loss of a pet can never be underestimated. They are family.
I am super confident that your extension will come through. But pixie dust is being sent just in case.
Ahhh that is still so cool about NPH. What an awesome job you have.
And we can't wait to see it!
Thank you!
I can't think of a better way.
Well.... none that don't involve unrealistic wishing.
(OMG! A new Lamborghini for every day of the week?? You shouldn't have!)
The lambo would have been cool but instead I get to go to Disney parks every day of the week if I want to. I feel like one unrealistic thing happened this year so maybe the lambos next year?
So sorry to hear about your pup.
You always know when you first get a dog that it's inevitable,
but it doesn't change just how much it hurts when you lose them.
Pass my condolences on to your folks, okay?
Thank you. She was a huge part of our family so there has definitely been a whole. I did
So, you have to be offered a position before the extension starts?
When does your extension run from and to?
I'll be down in February and probably staying at ASMu. If you'd like, I'd be pleased to meet you guys.
Yes my extension starts January 8th so they have just over a month to offer me a position. If I started my extension it would run until May 3.
Of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We would love to meet you!
So cool!
Looking forward to it!
Happy belated birthday. The Challenge sounds like a blast!
I'm really sorry about your dog. They are family and their loss is immeasurable. Hugs!!
Best of luck with the job!! I'd mentioned my friend who is 25 who was waiting to hear about CP. She got in! In Merch! She is majoring in Business Administration. But wants to do her masters in hospitality so she's hoping to stay on or move over to that eventually.
Looking forward to your TR and all the holiday pics. Glad all is well
The lambo would have been cool but instead I get to go to Disney parks every day of the week if I want to. I feel like one unrealistic thing happened this year so maybe the lambos next year?
Of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We would love to meet you!
I'm glad to see you and your mom are back updating.
The food court at Movies looks a lot different that las time I was there. I love the pictures of Andy's room.
When we stayed at AOA we'd go over to Pop for lunch. the food seemed much better over there.
I hope you get the role you want.
I'm sorry I missed you when I was down there in October.
Liz
AHH I LOVE that you drove under the sign. You're right, not a vacation until that is done. It's especially true when you live there I imagine.
Lunch at POP. I highly approve. Of course, any visit to POP I highly approve.
I have to admit, of the Value resorts, that has to be the coolest pool.
Awww your reunion sounds so sweet.
Well that seems reasonable.
Probably will happen.
I figured.
You have no idea how you just made my day.
Maybe my week!
As soon as I read this, I told DW, "She said Yes! With a whole bunch of exclamation marks!!"
I'll PM you in a few days when I get things more or less figured out (FP+ date on Dec. 10th)
My mom and I are both looking forward to it!
I'll comment on your post in a bit, but wanted to respond to this while I had a second to spare.
I didn't even realize you guys were still writing this. Doh! I even missed my special guest appearance.
I love that you stayed at All Star Movies. I have never stayed there but I think its an adorable resort. I love the pools. they are super cute. I'm really looking forward to reading about your adventures. And how great that you can leave and go home for a home cooked meal!
Awww, grandma! I love grandmas
Great photo tour of AS-M!
We were super excited to show them around Disney and our new home!
I made sure we took the long way on to property so we passed under the sign! We all know it's not a vacation until we pass under the sign!
This was our window
I love the pool!
and I got to be on tv
Notice the snowflake near his skate! Such a cute touch!
Mom went nuts at the first sight of the ME but the first one wasn't them.
The second one was though We all hugged and cried and were so excited for the week ahead of us!
We caught up some more and finished the bottle of wine It was a great night and we were so excited for the next day!
