HELLO I have finally returned from my unplanned and definitely unwanted hiatus 💔 I feel sad that I haven’t been able to write for so long haha my blog looks so empty! But I have a few things planned and hopefully it won’t be that way for long. I am also happy to report that we made it through Hurricane Irma relatively unscathed, but not without a few unpleasantries and a bit of craziness… this post is going to be a long one because I feel like I’ve neglected my blog for a while, so strap in if you care to read…

Little Life Update
Hi my wonderful readers and friends – I just wanted to pop in really quick to do a little update since it’s been a while since my last post and things have been crazy!! As you have probably heard, Hurricane Irma is set to sweep through Florida in the next few days and we are in the process of making preparations for its arrival. Chris and I decided against evacuating as our home is pretty well equipped and we (hopefully) are expecting not to be hit as hard as south Florida. If you’ve been following my blog for a while…

Copper Creek Villas Staycation
Last month Chris and I had a little staycation at one of our favorite Disney resorts – the Wilderness Lodge!! The lodge just recently unveiled their new DVC section, the Copper Creek Villas. Disney recently offered a really nice discounted rate for cast members to stay there, so we decided to take advantage of it for a fun few days off! We stayed there for 2 nights and had a blast. I meant to write about it sooner in fact but time got the best of me as we can see haha So this was essentially a “just for fun”…

Work Update: From Epcot to MK
It’s been a while since I talked about my experiences with Guest Relations and how things have been going, and a LOT has happened since I wrote this post. The biggest change is that I’m no longer at Epcot…I’m now at Magic Kingdom Guest Relations! As I’ve mentioned a few times now, my time at Epcot Guest Relations was a TA, or temporary assignment. This is normal for GR and how mostly everyone starts out – you’ll stay on a TA for a while until a permanent spot opens up and you’re lucky enough to get kept full time. It’s…
