"Overnights!"

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Today was a little different than most. I began my first day of overnights, which means I work from 10:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. Let me just say that again, I work from 10:30 P.M. to 7:30 A.M.! Or for those of you who aren’t as quick on your toes, all night ☺. To be honest with ya, I was really looking forward to this! We get the park practically to ourselves, how many people can say they’ve had that! I mean despite the few maintenance groups, we were like the only ones there! It was so so cool!
The reason for the overnights is probably pretty obvious, because we’re performing on the stage that sits right in front of Cinderella’s castle, we can’t very well rehearse during park hours, so that leaves us no choice but to rehearse during the nighttime!
We got there around 10:30ish and waited for the call that the last guest had finally cleared the park. We then made our way up! After getting our lawn chairs and snacks all set up on the hub (that’s the semi-circle section right in front of the castle and directly behind the “Partners” statue. Don’t you feel so special to be included in this top secret Disney lingo?! ☺), we got a tour of the stage and backstage area. They started off by telling us how prestigious it was to be performing on this stage; the likes of which have seen Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, and other famous celebrities. It so awesome! I feel a little spoiled now because this is what I’m going to be expecting every time I’m in a show—a platform that rises 20 feet up into the air (How incredibly pimped out is that!)!
The night actually went really well. The cast adapted to the stage really quickly so we were able to add in an extra run. What with everybody downing 5-hour energy shots, moral was high! I didn’t really start to feel it til about 5:30 and even then it wasn’t too too bad. I really do enjoy these overnight!
I came home and crawled into bed around 7:30. I ended up getting up around 5:30. Now my goal was to get a jumpstart on my homework for my online class, but what with it being a holiday and all, I procrastinated and decided that I’ll just do it all tomorrow at Panera! Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow! ☺ So Jessica and I watched part of a scary movie on TV—people are straight up idiots in those movies. Oh there’s a murderer outside, let’s split up, GO OUTSIDE, and look for him! Yeah, that’s wise. Or you could just break each other’s legs and crawl outside and tie yourselves together!
So we decided to run up to Wal-Mart and get some stuff to perfect our non-alcoholic butterbeer recipe. I think we did it! It actually tasted pretty good!
After such a hectic day, I’m bushed and definitely ready to turn in to bed! Goodnight everyone! Happy White Rabbit Day! Who would of thunk, we’re already into November!?!
