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 this summer in DLP after a terrible night shift. I spent a lovely day with them in the park and it was great to meet them in real life. They’re Duffy crazy and super animated, it was like being with “undressed” characters all day <3

Annelies, Me, The Mouse Himself, Jolien, Thomas and their Duffies @ Meet Mickey

Secondly, this was less twitter and more mails honestly, I got to meet Blogparks (I guess it's more something for my italian followers as he writes in italian). I’m not saying his name for reasons but, he’s a castmember. He came back to work during the halloween period and we met up twice and thanks to him and his fearlessness I got to see the backstage, the hidden bits of Disneyland Paris. Saying that I was an emotional wreck is nothing, yet I kept it cool HA HA always been there, i know every corner of it.. of course... OMG IS THAT THE BIGGEST WARDROBE IN EUROPE ??? O_O 

Sadly no pictures allowed.. well probably they are allowed but since I was there quite “illegally” it wouldn’t have been good to risk. On the matter of risks.. we ate at Imaginations ! I ate at the CM cafeteria.. *act normal, keep it cool*  

And, this is probably a quite well hidden secret... right on the opposite side of the restaurant Walt’s is another CM cafeteria (I ate there too ^_~). 

It was 2 afternoons of Disney secrets sharing.. one of which I spoke on here about: the “Harringtons” dome.. he didn’t know of that... shame ! haha

He introduced me to a bunch of little CM procedures which I will (hopefully) eventually get to know very well but it was nonetheless amazing to get to know so many little things that you would normally not know.

The second time we met it was the opening of the Christmas Season so we got to see the tree while it was being turned on. Simply amazing :) Although I need to go back again because there was a show going on under the tree and we were quite far away to actually see it.

So here I leave you now with this little insight to the hidden area of Disneyland Paris. 

Have a good day.

Love

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 my future was working in a supermarket. When I was 6 I remember people asking me (cause I was such a talent speaking 2 languages back then -_-°) whether I wanted to stay in Italy and I always said NO. Imagine a 6 year old... with a brain.

Of course I know that it's a compliment but I can help but hearing envy in some words and I always remember a phrase I *secretly* lived by.

If you don't like where you are, change it! You're not a tree. - John Rohn

Which is exactly what some people need to start living by when they're unhappy... moving to another country can be difficult but start with a reason why and find something to do and f****** move away. You will miss your friends and family but.. you will make new friends and keep in touch with the old ones (yea right as if...).

Make something out of your life. 

I'm glad to say that I finally found my place in this world... I'm a hotel management student. I want to be a hotel manager.. one day... yes one day.. but I'm working on it. I'm actively working on my dream. Start doing ! 

The downsides of this live is the change of companies, not the place you live in.. you gotta find your little corner of paradise (there's one everywhere), but the change of people... it's difficult that you move to a place and already have a close group of friends. You come to realise that... damn it's difficult to make friends. I mean.. as adult where do you meet people ? Besides your colleagues ? 
But you eventually get there it takes a little time.

Anyway I leave you now with this a little negative post, with a song that I thought fitted really well, then I looked up the meaning and... it's absolutely perfect. Only thing.. it's in german.
It's about the need for "strong arms" that can carry you home. Home, is not a physical place because due to the traveling it's not possible,it's a place that you have to create inside yourself.

Enjoy.

Love

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 it's definitely not a job i'd like to do all my life, imagine always working when others sleep and sleeping when others wake to go to work. I lost completely the notion of time and I was just constantly confused.

2. My friend Edie is back in Paris for a years (at least) this time to studying Fashion. Hope it's going to work out well this time, considering that both our last experiences in Paris were quite unfortunate (see october 2011). 

Marie and I being obnoxious in the middle.

3. I do still absolutely love my job and I'm growing fonder and fonder of my colleagues which is great and on the other hand bad, I'm gonna miss them a lot when I'm leaving. 
Apparently in the month of November I'm changing services, either housekeeping or reservations. It's interesting but it also saddens me a bit. I only hope that I get to spend my last 2 weeks in december at the reception.

4. I guess I can update on my private life as well.. I can say that now we're 2.. no i'm not pregnant. But that's also all you get. It's an unfortunate situation like always. In any case so don't expect a fairytale to come out of it. I'm a realist.

We don't have pictures together.. this seemed fitting enough ;)

Well that is everything for now. Sad news, my annual passport expired.. but maybe with my birthday money (like last year) I will renew it. November is Christmas Time a.k.a my favourite and I missed it last year so I definitely gotta be there this year.


Toodle pip, until next time.

Love
