~*Happy Halloween, Travelers!*~

So I titled this post, Happy Halloween but it's not exactly Halloween yet... Close enough though!

My Disney Program is continuing and things are getting better and better :) I'm making more and more memories and more and more friends! There's not a day that goes by that I don't miss Tokyo but I'm falling more and more in love with Disney <3

I'm getting better at my job at Star Tours! I'm REALLY loving it! I love all my "Disney terms" that we use on a daily basis. I find myself "Hello, travelers!" to everyone! ^_^; And I love telling people to have a "Fantasmic" day... Needless to say, Disney is REALLY rubbing off on me. I feel like a completely different person at work. I'm upbeat, peppy, and all-smiles! If I ever go to work bummed out or stressed, I have to quickly wipe the frown off myself. Star Tours is a show, after all, and we're all performers. Anytime I smile, I'm just passing it to another passenger. If I can make at least one person smile, then I'm doing my job. No matter how cheesy I am <3

Soooo.....this blogpost is a bit more chipper than my last few. I wonder why? Am I just having more fun at Disney then I was before? Or could it be the people impacting my life?

I got to do something EXTRAORDINARY this past week. I got to see the new Fantasyland preview at Magic Kingdom. Do you know what that means? I GOT TO RIDE THE NEW LITTLE MERMAID RIDE!!!!!!

If anyone of you know me, you know that The Little Mermaid is my FAVORITE movie OF ALL TIME! Ever since I was a little kid, I wondered why there wasn't an Ariel ride...I mean, come on! It would make the PERFECT ride! And who knew that they would eventually have one later on in my life?

Is it lame that I can't wait to have kids so I can take them to Disney and take them on the Little Mermaid ride? I'll be able to brag to my kids that I was a Disney cast member when the ride first opened. And that I was one of the first people to ever ride it <3 It's pretty exciting, if you ask me!

They also have a bunch of cool stuff in the new Fantasyland, too! For starters, I heard that they brought back Ariel's grotto. And now Gaston has a meet and greet! But Ohmygosh nothing compares to the Little Mermaid Ride....it was ABSOLUTE perfection! I'll definitely post up pictures later <3

Speaking of Ariel, guess who made a guest appearance at Vista Way last week? Ariel, Eric, Cinderella, and Prince Charming did a meet and greet at a little party at Vista Way!!! I was SOOOO excited! I got some adorable pics <3 You have no idea how much I freaked out! I had never met Eric before! And even though Prince Charming wasn't so charming looking, it was exciting seeing him and Cinderella, too! hahahaha!

I also roasted my finger that day....I got to meet Ariel with a ton of aloe on my finger and I tried not getting it on her dress. Lol!

Totally unrelated to anything Disney but I beat two boys at Pokemon Stadium this weekend. I beat them BADLY! Best. Day. EVER!

~~~~~~~~~~

I'm doing more and more exciting things at Disney! For example, I went to Animal Kingdom not too long ago and had a wonderful time! I got to ride the Dinosaur ride again and this time, I kept my eyes open!! I also went to Epcot again and had a lovely bowl of udon with my dear friend Jimmy and it was just fantastic!

However, something superb something happened to me that was definitely nothing short of a miracle! I got to see one of my best friends that I haven't got to seen in about 7 years! I randomly facebook'd her to see if she was dropping by Orlando since her family lives near West Palm Beach. Sure enough, she was headed to Orlando last weekend!! I was thrilled!! I actually got to see her and have breakfast with her! Omigosh it was SOOOO cool! She really hadn't changed much over the years and we clicked just like we did when we were kids :) Her family hadn't changed at all that much, either! It was really neat! I had missed Taylor so much....so it was a really nice reunion ^_^

I wonder if I'll have any other unexpected reunions??

Well, I kind of already did :) Some of my distant family members came to Hollywood Studios and it was really exciting to see them!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've been getting a little anxious when I think about going home in a few months.... I've changed SOOOO much since I departed on my journey to Japan. I've become more independent and my personality has even altered a bit. And of course Disney has turned me into a kira-kira sparkle happy face princess genki chan (Don't ask.) What's it going to be like when I finally go home? Will things go back to the way they were or have I grown too much for that to be possible? Just so you know, not all of my changes have been good ones....

I haven't been feeling like myself lately. I haven't really been nerd-ing out all that much. I'm either at work, hanging out with friends, or going to the parks. I haven't really had time to just sit down and do my typical nerd things (watch anime, make cosplay, play video games, write fanfics, draw manga, learn japanese, etc etc) So.....I bought some curry mix and made AWESOME Japanese style curry and I even bought a bunch of sewing material to work on my Final Fantasy 13-2 Serah Farron cosplay =w= I haven't had time to work on Serah yet but I know that I'll be yearning to work on her soon enough! <3 Then I can do SeeU, Asuna Yuuki, Rise Kujikawa, and Sayaka <3 I've got an exciting list coming up!! I've missed going to cons....

~~~~~~~~~~~

Once Disney is over, will I have to quit my blog?? I mean, Japisney /will/ be over technically.... but I guess it'll live on in my heart <3 One thing is for sure! Either Japan or Disney is burning bright in my future. Who knows? Maybe Tokyo Disney is where my future will lie...

Either way, my journey isn't over yet :3 Sorry I haven't been writing much in my blog, lately....Maybe I'll come up with some interesting posts about what its like being a Disney CP at Star Tours ;)

Til then....

I wonder what tomorrow will bring? ^_^

.....work =_=
