Rockin and a Rollin, Splishin and a Splashin!!!


Chip and Dale
Super rocky seas last night!!! The worst it’s been so far! The funny thing is...I LOVE it! I think it is so much fun! We were outrunning a tropical storm on our way back to Port Canaveral from Castaway Cay. Luckily, I didn’t have to do any onstage performances which could have been very difficult! The characters said their farewell with “See Ya Real Soon” which includes all of the VIP characters (Minnie, Mickey, Donald, etc.) and 4 of the Princesses (Ariel, Belle, Tiana, Aurora). They all come out and all at the same time in different areas of the Atrium, they have a 20 minute set for those last chance photos and autographs. Right at the end of the set, a couple went up to meet Belle, after they took the picture, the man got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend!!! The crowd went wild and Belle even teared up! It was a magical night!
Ariel and Tiana and great friends!

She loves the babies the most!!!
My mom came to visit this week!!! She came on the 4 day cruise from last Sunday to Thursday and had a magnificent time! She was ecstatic to finally be able to see the ship and all of the different things that I do. She got to watch all of the Walt Disney Theater shows and deck parties and she came to every one of my sets and watched all 3 princess gatherings! It was so wonderful to see her again and show her all that I do. I had just enough break time to have one dinner, one lunch, and even one port day with her! We ate dinner at the Royal Palace! I had never even been in there because crew are not allowed to eat in the restaurants unless they have special permission from the cruise director. I ordered a delicious smoothie called the Princess Delight! Unfortunately, I had to work and didn’t get to finish my dinner with her. Her stateroom was absolutely beautiful and there was so much space! I spent every evening after work with her just catching up and ordering room service! It was so nice to eat real food again! My absolute favorite part of her visit was going to Castaway Cay with her!  It was so nice to take a break from work and just relax on the beach in the warm sun and take a nap in a hammock! It was perfect.

We are in the process of a leader change-out! We are getting a new Character Manager and Stage Manager! It’s so exciting to work with so many different people in the company and learn all about where they come from and the work they have done within The Walt Disney Company! 

See Ya Real Soon
Riding Around


My schedule is becoming more regular which is nice because I can get a better idea of when I’m going to have time to go into port! A couple cruises ago, Nick and I went in to Nassau and rented a little motor bike. Nick had done it twice before and he knew the guys who rented them out so he got a good deal and he already knew some fun places to go. We went to this little shack in the middle of town called The Chicken Shack! We ordered Conch for lunch! Then we drove over to this private beach and enjoyed the sun and the beautiful view. Lastly, we stopped at McDonald’s for some quick internet before heading back to the ship! It was one of the best times I’ve had in port!
Beautiful Nassau
Missing everyone back home very very much!!!
