"Catching Up"

Hello there friends! Long time no blog! Sorry, I’ve been on overnights and my sleeping pattern is a little outta whack! For instance, I’m heading into work in about and hour and will be there until 6:30 tomorrow morning! Yes!
So where to begin, well I’ll just kind of recap last night because the past two nights have kind of just mashed together into a tired blur. Okay, I get to work with around 10 with my fuzzy blanket and fold up chair in-toe. After checking in and getting layers and layers of basics on, I headed over to the warm up room to wait for a park clear call. Once we’d finally gotten that, we all headed upstairs to the stage. Now last night we only did 6 runs so that was nice. They had the Christmas lights on the castle all done up so that looked amazing! There were all of these beautiful ice cycles hanging from every spire. Ahhh, Prince Charming should be commended for his incredible Christmas light hanging ability. So we get up on stage. I’m going to give you a little special insight here, when we’re up on stage people are talking and screaming and whatever but because the music is so loud the audience can’t hear that. So there’s a part in the show where all the VIPs (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Chip & Dale) have to get out of the way because the equity dancers are all spinning their way down to the front of the stage to do these high kicks! Well last night, all the VIPs are screaming at the top of their lungs! Minnie sounded like she was being stabbed and I look over and Pluto and Chip are hugging the platform for dear life, screaming as the dancers twirl by them—it was wonderful!
After that, they filled the snowflake machine so they could fire that puppy up for the end of the show. Well, the food table was sitting right under it. So at the end of the number all these massive soap flakes comes drifting down toward our open food containers, so three of us go running over there in hopes to cover the dip with our fuzzy blankets.
It was a lot of fun last night! Tonight is our first full costume run so that’ll be loads of fun! I can’t wait to blog about it tomorrow! In the words of my favorite mouse, “See ya real soon!”
