Au revoir 2012, bienvenue 2013 !

Hello My Lovelies, long time no see (as usual)... Let me update you on a few things, so things are back to... I guess normal ? I'm back in Italy which means that my internship at the fabulous Magic Circus is over... oh tears have been shed.  I had the best of times and I will keep the memories forever. My internship ended with an amazing "Goodbye/Christmas" Party with my colleagues. First we went to a fancy, super elegant italian restaurant, then we went bowling and last but not least to a club.  I miss those guys. With...

The Disneyland Paris Backstage, thanks to... the internet.

Hello My Lovelies, My life’s troubled with being alone somewhere in the world, from time to time, the internet is an amazing matter to keep connected and to get to know new people. Bless the internet for most of the people I got to know this year. Most of them I met through twitter. I have a personal twitter and a Disney related twitter (on request of someone *cough* CF) and through the Disney related twitter I got to meet and to know a bunch of lovely human beings. First there’s Thomas whom I met together with Jolien and Annelies...

You're so brave.

21. That's the present age of the writer of this blog. Yup 2 days ago I became legal age in the US.. not that I care since in Europe I've been for the last 3 years.  Lately I've been getting a bunch of comments all of the same kind, whether its guests I'm having small talk with or colleagues or friends. "You're so brave, so young and so far away from home." I'm getting to the point of saying.. grow some balls. You're 30 (or older when it came to guests)... I'm not brave.. I had to do it.  I grew up in a place where...

Long time no see: being a night audit, birthdays and relationships.

Hello My Lovelies, ....still someone there ? 5 o'clock in the morning... conversation got boring.. I know it's been over a month but life just rushed by. Can you believe it's already october ? where did this year go ? You're probably hearing this a lot lately.. I think we're always saying this every single year around this time. Today I am on my break, so here I am writing to you with a few updates. 1. I survived 2 weeks in the horrible midnight shift.. 23-7 is absolutely not fun believe me. I learnt a lot as night audit but...

Be the guest you want to be remembered for and other ramblings.

Hello My Lovelies, another day another bunch of moron guests. Don't get me wrong, not everyone's bad but more often than not you get guests where the check-in lasts literally 10 minutes (when everything goes well) just because you want to get rid of them ASAP. Guests who don't smile, who don't say hello, who just hand you their reservation and when you explain things or ask question don't even listen or not or give any sign of life. Those are the guests I dislike the most. Not even the ones who complain, they're showing emotions.. but...

Oh italian language how I love thee.

Hello My Lovelies, this is going to be a bit of a strange post. I had this impression for years, especially while studying english, but now that I'm learning french I just realised it even more.  Italian is the easiest of languages. 1. You pronounce every single letter ! Aereoplano ? you say every letter ! Not like french or english "Parlent" = parl - "Biscuit" = Biskit. 2. Masculine and Feminin words are easy to reconise. It ends with an 'A' - Feminin. Ends with  'O' or 'E' - Masculin. and what I'm most annoyed about...

Unplanned depressive like post.

Hello My Lovelies, My mood is not at its best lately. Today I found this on facebook and it was quite on the spot. The post is in italian but I'll translate it to english.  Tu sei il tipo di persona che alle feste se ne sta in disparte. Te ne stai seduta in un angolo e osservi, ti dispiaci per chi non si diverte e sorridi invece per chi urla e fa casino. Ti piace cogliere le sfumature delle vite degli altri, dimenticandoti delle tue. Adotti lo stesso comportamento quando devi relazionarti con qualcuno, entri nella vita delle...

Sickness post + World of Disney Store.

Hello My Lovelies, I had planned for my next blog post to be about the return of Fantillusion with pictures but sadly I didn't get to see it yet. I saw it many times in the past years and after the Main Street Electrical Parade, Fantillusion is my favourite parade among them all. Mainly because it reminds me of my trips to DLP with my mam, when everything was fine and DLP still had that little bit more of magic to me than it has now. I worked all week from 15/16 till 23/24 so I always missed it, but working the morning shift all week...

Taking a stroll down Main Street U.S.A.

Hello My Lovelies, The man, the myth and his adorable wife Lilly. every week I get 2 days off and unless I have something planned, one of the two days (at least) will be spent at the Disney Parks. Today was one of my free days, I read on twitter that the Annual Passport holders got early access to the World of Disney Store (due to open July 12th) but as always I didn't get an invitation even though I have the Dream passport, anyway my plan was to go to the office inside the park to fix this because besides the discounts I never...

Flash mobs and other great ideas.

Living in France and especially Paris means that you are almost 100% depending on the metro system which usually comes quite often OR, especially when you're in a rush, after an hour. Anyway, being a constant "rider" my trustworthy friend the iPhone, functioning as iPod, gives me a bunch of stupid ideas. While I'm listening to a really upbeat song and I happen to be standing almost at the edge of the curb with everyone behind me I always imagine myself as being the first to start a flash mob.. That I'm just waiting for the right moment...

Reception du Magic Circus, c'est Giulia bonjouuur !

Hello My Lovelies, Alright here we go, first blog post on my new job ! I must admit that at first I felt majorly lost, everyone talking in French to me and thinking I was stupid since I understood quite well but never said more than "oui". But now 4 days later I'm getting the hang of it, the girl who is training me did her internship there too, she's quite cool and funny but sadly leaving in a few days but the crew at the reception is quite cool, I like the people I work with and French is getting easier everyday :) check-ins, arrivals,...

Hello My Lovelies, Here I am, writing from my little shared flat in Paris. Me and Nefeli, volunteering.  But more about that in another post :) So 2 days ago I graduated from first year !!! Can I give you a programme Sir/Madam ? It was such an amazing experience, so me and Nefeli volunteered to help out during the preparation, tbh they could have done it without us but whatever it felt nice and I was there 2-3 hours before the actual thing started. We placed brochures on tables and I had the oh so important job of...
