I feel like a star.

Last night was pretty awesome. Or rather, the night before last. It's 45 minutes past midnight, so it's technically the 10th. At any rate, it was Wednesday night.

We didn't have the normal Electric Light Parade because at 11PM was the cast member preview of the Boo to You parade. So at 10:30ish, any straggling guest was cleared out of the park, and the cast members were let in.

Now, my shift didn't end until 1AM, which meant I was working during the parade. So I got to direct and control cast members. Or so I thought...

We have a meeting before every parade to receive updates from the managers and coordinators and to find out where we'll be working for the parade. Most of the parade positions are responsible for setting up barriers and keeping guests within those barriers. However, some positions are much more fun and require less work. For example, the position I got for the Halloween parade was escort. This is the coveted PAC (parade audience control) position. The responsibilities for parade escorts are to walk 20 feet in front of the parade. We're kind of a last minute check to make sure people aren't in the streets.

It was exciting. This was the first time the parade has been run, and I got to be apart of it. I'm pretty sure I'm in hundreds of pictures.

Episode 2: Kevin's Food Adventure

Here's a little something I did on a day off.

I'll try harder

I had an epiphany the other day. I've forgotten that I promised really exciting updates and fun videos. The whole reason for my starting a blog was to keep people updated on my jealousy-inducing experience. I think only a few people are actually jealous that I'm working at Disney World. Why? Because my updates are so boring and my one video is so poorly done that everyone is too confused to be envious.

"I thought Kevin was in Disney World, but from the lameness of his updates, I would swear that he's still in Fresno." That's what everyone is saying after they read my blog.

Not to pass the buck or anything, but Disney is very efficient at sucking away my energy. I work as many as 10 hours in the heat playing with kids, directing crowds, taking tickets, blah, blah, blah.

It's a good thing I caught this early so I can quickly correct it. I'm going to try to take as many pictures and capture as much footage as I can. I don't want to promise anything, but I'll do my best.
