About Me

I truly believe I am the luckiest girl in the world. At 23 years old, I've had more life-changing experiences than most do in an entire lifetime. From sailing around the world to dancing down Main Street USA, I have to wonder how this is all real.

What's Next?

For the first time in a while, I'm not really sure where my life is headed. I'll be heading to Florida after graduation to continue working for Disney, but in terms of major plans, all I know is that I want to make a difference. I'm not sure where, and I'm not sure how, but unknowing adventure is an idea I've definitely become more comfortable with over the years.

Six more weeks.

Truthfully, I'm ready to be done. I've felt that way for quite some time now. Not that I am not happy. I am. Seriously. I love my job and I feel so rewarded and fulfilled doing it. But the excitement of being at Disney is no longer a substitute for the low pay, poor treatment, and politics of this all. I haven't met as many new people as before. But then again, I didn't go through traditions or training since I was in the same role as last time, and that's where I met everyone last year. I've had a lot of problems with housing, and I am just over all of the politics that come with such a large company. That said, I will still remain seasonal for as long as I can, but as much as I thought I didn't want to move to Florida for the sole purpose of working for Disney before, I know for sure that is not what I want now. I love Disney. I always will. I love walking around the parks and the life that Orlando brings. I love the magic. I love my job. And I feel so blessed that I've gotten the chance to do it, twice. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't ready for these next 6 weeks to be over.

Disney updates

I know, I am HORRIBLE at updating. But here's a brief recap of the past couple of months in Florida


Magic Kingdom turned 40. We got in line at 5am (after being at MK for a Halloween party the night before until 1) to get merchandise wristbands. There was a parade and dedication, but other than that the "celebration" was pretty weak and it was really crowded for nothing. Still an adventure though.


I went to not one, not two, but three Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween parties. I made sure to meet Flynn Rider at each one :). If ever I were to have a crush on a fictional cartoon, it would be Flynn.


I saw Hanson three times in one night at the Food and Wine festival! Still love them.


My family came to visit!

And Christmas is in full swing at Disney!




My obsession with Duffy is becoming a problem. As of current count, I have one giant duffy, 6 normal sized ones, a magnet, a keychain and a purse.


And I met Barney!
