"Roll out the red carpet, spotlight on a dream..."
Happy 20th Anniversary to Disney's Hollywood Studios!!
May 1, 2009
Twenty years ago, the Disney-MGM Studios opened up as a part of the Walt Disney World resort. And now, 20 years later, here we are:
Ready for a fun game? Here comes "WHERE'S WALDO?" Disney Edition!
Can you find...
Me and Josh? (Hint...see the short lady in the very front wearing the red jacket? She works at Play and Dine and I love her! Anyway, draw a line between her and the guy in the plaid coat and go straight up. We're directly behind the two guys from Guest Relations.)
Can you find...
Mickey Mouse, Buzz Lightyear, Belle, Handy Manny, Darth Vader, Bear in the Big Blue House, American Idol, Flounder, The Lights, Motors, Actions car, Sebastian, Sweedums, Gaston, Streetsmosphere performers?
BONUS -- The president of Hollywood Studios. (Hint...he's on the cart in between two Streetsmosphere performer.)
So, here were the celebrations for the anniversary:
7am -- Cast exclusive sale backstage. Josh and I went shopping and were very successful! I got a Studios t-shirt I've been wanting for a long time, another t-shirt for only $1, and some other really neat things!
8am -- Rope drop to officially open Studios, featuring Mickey Mouse!
Following this, Josh and I walked on to Midway Mania. Then I walked Josh to work at Studios and visited with some other friends who were working. Following this, I visited Mickey at the hat, Woody and Buzz, all five of the Power Rangers, and the exclusive Club Penguin characters.
11am-5pm -- Studios Cast Party! The party was backstage right next door to the sale. Director Mickey was there with Stitch, Woody, and some Green Army men. They used old set pieces to decorate and it looked so amazing. There was a salad and food bar and an ice cream bar. They had a slideshow going of the past twenty years, a DJ, giveaways, and karaoke. Woody and the Green Army Men danced to "Thriller" and "Cotton-Eye Joe" and I nearly died laughing.
Now, I'm sure you want to see pictures of all of this. Well, I have great news:
I FINALLY UPDATED MY PHOTO LINKS!!!
Here's the link to the post. Again, if you haven't already, I highly recommend bookmarking this page. All of my pictures I've uploaded will post here.
And now, for your pleasure, a few tidbits of the past few days. (I've done so much this week and just kind of want to recap. hehe!! I love my job!)
CP Formal Spring '09 -- Goin' Hollywood! (See album 20)
Crush 'n' Gusher at Typhoon Lagoon, a literal water rollercoaster!
Chip and Dale at the Yacht and Beach Club! (See Best Friends #3 for more pics!)
Me and Mickey at the 20th Anniversary party! (See Album 20)
And, as promised months ago, a picture of me in Mickey's Jingle Jungle Christmas Parade! Coolest day of work ever!
Well, it is finally time for me to get in my nap before heading back to Studios, so I will blog again soon! Much love to all...and a very special Happy Anniversary to my parents and an early Happy Birthday to my grandmother!
Love,
Me! :) Ciao!
