On my off day today, and still with a mild headache, I went over to the Wonders of Life today to check it out one last time before it closes for good (more than likely) and it is so depressing. It actually brought me even in a worse mood because nowhere in the pavillion does it show that this used to be called the Wonders of Life UNTIL I walked outside and heard the background music!

Oh my god! I'm going to show my true disney dorkness here but I sat down on the bench and listened to about 30 minutes of the Wonders of Life BGM and it put a big smile on my face!

You're talking to people who are on a Disney site that hosts all kinds of Disney theme park music ranging from dentist drilling to 1 hour area loop music.

We understand.

I hope you had a good day off!

I had to go out and buy myself a pair of black shoes for this weekend yesterday. I've got a Special Events shift helping out with Super Soap Weekend on Sat instead of my normal duties. I can hardly wait.

Wow. Good luck at Super Soap weekend. I might take a peek just to see how crazy it is.

My coordinator told me that I will likely want to kill myself by the end of the day. I'm supposed to be the one that keeps things orderly when the crazy women get sight of their favorite stars. Sounds pretty easy.

That follows a 12 hour shift on Friday as well, so I've got quite a weekend ahead of me. I tried to complain about it to my roommate here at school, but he's been pulling 13/14 hour shifts in the jungle on a regular basis so he doesn't want to hear it.

WOW, good luck holding those women back. I hope you have a linebackers build otherwise you will be knocked over.

I'm a big guy, but still no match for a crazed fan in an ECV.

Good one Lion! Thought this was a good one!

Ok, how do I get the quote thingy to work right?

Tomorrow my best friend from home will be here with his wife! I'm very excited for their arrival as he's only been to Disney 3 times (with the previous 2 times just coming these past 2 years). He's heard me talk about Disney and the College Program so much that I can't wait to actually be in the parks with him and his wife!

On Thursday, Lion & I went out to eat at Whispering Canyon Cafe at Wilderness Lodge! It was our first time there and I really enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it to any families with kids, the food is good, the service is fun....Then we took a boat over to the Magic Kingdom (which took foeever!) to catch Wishes/Spectro. In the meantime, we rode Haunted Mansion and all the dark rides (Peter, Snow White & Pooh). We also watched Spectromagic on Main Street, I can't remember the last time I saw Spectromagic from Main Street SITTING on the sidewalk with a front row view, It was a lot of fun, and I think thats what I needed in order to overcome my illness, I just dont think I was having a lot of fun lately with all the working I've been doing so thank you Lion

People were showing up when I was closing last night in hopes of camping out in front of the gates for SSW. Disney changed its policy this year though, so they weren't allowed to stay. Based on those crazies though, I can hardly wait for my shift this afternoon.

You're very much welcome. I'm glad you had fun. Whispering Canyon was so crazy! I never had any idea! The straws, the ketchup, the screaming children! Good going for suggesting that place to eat, I had a great time!

I hope you have an awesome time showing your friends around!

@coasterphil: Good luck to you!
