This week has been pretty busy but i’ve enjoyed it. Work has been pretty much the normal, didn’t finish work on Tuesday in the Chippie til 10:25, but I didn’t have any plans so wasn’t overly concerned to be honest.
On Wednesday I went to SeaWorld Orlando
Had an amazing day. Really enjoyed the roller coaster Kraken. Its an amazing ride and I think its replaced nemesis as my fave coaster 
Its great when you sit anywhere, but at the front… WOW It has to be done from the front, I only did it the once, but AWESOME Loved it!
Journey to Atlantis is also great, in fact I think its much better than the one in Sea World San Diego. There is much more to the one here, and altho having an elevator rather than a chain lift is a pretty cool way of getting you up in San Diego, the themed areas here are significantly better, and you actually get to understand the story, I dont remember a story at all in San Diego.
Saw a few shows whilst there, Believe, the new Shamu show is absolutely amazing. Loved it so much The dolphin show was also pretty good. The Sea Lion show was funny, much like its San Diego counterpart, just a different story. Also saw the Odyssea show, which is kinda an acrobatic show I guess. Enjoyed it, quite good
After Sea World headed back via the I-Ride, walked from the Mall to golden Corral and met up with Ona, Paul and Jorden. We ate at the Golden Corral then walked to Downtown Disney. Not walked there before but it wasn’t too bad (well I didnt think). We stopped at the Walt Disney World Resort gate and had our photos taken there as chances are we probably won’t walk again.
We wondered around Downtown Disney and through the shops for a bit before heading back on the bus to the Commons

On Thursday I went to the Magic Kingdom with Lucy, Nicola and Anneliese for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
We went over in the afternoon and did some attractions, Space, Big Thunder, Philharmagic etc. etc. but the park was TOTALLY empty, was awesome we walked straight on everything (BTM was probably about 10mins) At about 6pm we went and picked up our not so scary wristbands.
After getting wristbands we went over to Pinocchios Village Haus to get some food before meeting up with Jo who had just left work. From here on we were going around collecting candy from the candy locations. It was actually a lot of fun, really enjoyed it. There were a couple of Candy Trails where you’d go down a trail and there would be like 4 or 5 candy locations. They were a lot of fun
We skipped the first Boo to You parade and continued with our hunt for Candy, but at about 8:45 tried to find ourselves a good spot to watch Happy HalloWISHES. The fireworks were awesome, they were perimeter fireworks, they weren’t around the outside of the park til the end, but it was worth the wait. They had fireworks surrounding the front of you at the end, and catherine wheels on the castle. The music was pretty cool, really enjoyed it
After the fireworks we headed to some candy locations again just til it was time to see the Boo to You parade. We got a spot for this just near where Jilly was working at Sleepy Hollow, we went to say hello to Jilly who was working hard serving Funnel Cakes (Yuck!) Anyway we stopped here for Boo to you. Before the parade started a headless horseman came riding down the parade route, I managed to get a really good photo which is on my site. The parade itself was so good, and the music so catchy. There are some photos of it on my photo site.
After the parade we went to watch the Disney Villians Mix and Mingle which was a show starring the Disney Villains, and even played some of Halloween-lo-Ween from Disneyland Paris. The show was quite good to watch, and at the end the Villians all came out into the audience. At this time we headed off to get some last minute candy before it was time to leave the park. We had our photos taken by some Photopass Photographers on the way out, and had the photos printed. They were half price on the night, and then we got our 20% cast discount on top of that, worked out at $6 for each photo which was a good price. It was a photo of our group down Main Street in front of the castle.

Only other thing to mention this week was on Saturday I was given a Great Service Fanatic Card by a manager. It is a card you can give another cast member for giving great service. The reason given was “Outstanding Magical Moments Always Created”. Was really pleased when I was given it. I get to put the card into a box to be entered into a draw, it is also shown on my record card at work!
