Working with Pooh!
I finally got an attendant shift today! The funny thing is, I almost didn't get it. I had called DHS base around 8am, and called MK base around 8:30. I still hadn't heard back around 10:30 when I sent a text to my dad, complaining about the Mets trading Carlos Beltran. However, when I heard the reply go off, I noticed that I had a missed call...and I never had the phone ring!!! Somehow DHS base had called back, and it went straight to voice mail. I seriously almost had a heart attack! Luckily, it didn't mess things up, and I had a shift. I got to work with Pooh in Animation (the only bad thing is I guessed wrong with the pants size, and they looked really funny, as the legs were on the short side). I loved everyone I worked with today. My co-attendant Jill was great, really helpful. And I loved my Pooh. The day went by faster then I thought it would. When the Fant sets came out, I got to see Jason (and he looked shocked to see me there- I think he forgot I'm attendant-trained). Emily P stopped by (and she was definitely confused to see me in attendant. I'm sad it was her last day though). And the best part- Jen stopped by! She was there to see Pooh (she was good friends with Pooh), and was on her way to Encore practice. Speaking of which, I may be volunteering for the shows. Fingers crossed it works out. Anway. After our last set, I assisted with the Incredibles' last set. Luckily it was not busy at all. There were soooooo many cute babies/little kids today. I loved watching them with Pooh.
So Universal/ WB announced a HP event in Nov, and I want to go to this soooooo badly! Unfortunately, I do not need the resort or park tickets though. I really, really, REALLY want the autograph session and Q&A session (and the nightime gala sounds fun too). If things stay the way it is, I won't be able to go (I just can't justify $700, especially because of the cruise I'm going on, and that I'm getting a new camera). However, on the bottom of the page, it says "there will be additional ways for a limited number of people to participate in celebration events. Stay tuned for details". So I have my fingers crossed that there will be packages for passholders, or that they will sell the events individually (without needing the resort or park tickets). I really hope this will work out, as it sounds amazing!!

I never got to post about my birthday. I worked on my actual birthday (I was up in Gangster, and closed that evening). And I ended up with a mandatory 6th day on the Wed. So I spent Thurs as my birthday. I got to see Bridget in GR, and she gave me my button. I was also able to get a lunch ADR at Sci-Fi. The morning I spent meeting characters. I was able to see Daisy and Donald, Minnie, Chip and Dale, and Goofy and Pluto at the Hat (I got the best picture with Goofy and Pluto! The photographer suggested that I hold out my braids the way they do, so all 3 of us are holding out ears/braids. It's a really cute picture). Then I went to see Phineas and Ferb. Man that line moves slowly! But it's a cute setup. I had lunch. And it was good. But I just wasn't that hungry for some reason. After lunch, I rode Star Tours (I finally got my favorite ending again- I hadn't had it in forever), and saw Muppets. The best thing happened afterwards. I was able to get my picture with Sweetums! He was really nice too. When I got out of Muppets, I went out to dinner with Julie. We went to McDonald's, and then stopped by Super-Target. I finally found Ultimate Edition HP 5 and 6 there!! I had been searching for them for THE longest time! Now I just need 7.1 and 7.2 (which most likely won't be out until next year, at the earliest).
