1: Mum, Dad, Órla and Aoife came to visit.
2: Mum found a soul-mate at MGM studios in the form of a streetmosphere performer who was parodying Brazilian Tour Groups (To Mum, Órl and Aoife... BRAZIL! FOLLOW ME! ... I've lost my tour... Oh, you're fabulous! Love those flip flops. Those are real diamond right? They've gotta be Christian Dior...")
3: We rediscovered the beauty of the Market Street burger at the Market Street Café at Celebration. Órla and Aoife rediscovered the terror of Celebration (insert slasher music here).
4: The familial enjoyed many days in the parks with little or no wait times courtesy, mainly, of Louisa and Brynna.
5: Matt and Valerie, two work-type pals left Innoventions. Fortunately, it was because they finished their programs and not because of termination.
6: Went to a partay at the Ale House to celebrate Brent not getting termed-and more importantly that Jason self-termed.
7: I got to close the House of Innoventions - a presenter venue.
8: Shayna's roommate "found" a bottle in their apartment, called security, got Shayna termed, another roommate "admitted" it was hers, Shayna got un-termed.
9: Shanan moved in with Shayna. Their room is now known as the "S-Club" (yes, named after the band).
10: I got trained for the Magic Kingdom (with Once Upon a Time is Now! and Be a Guest). One of my two trainers (Scott and Roz) later turned up working at Visa Meet and Greet as a character greeter-the day after!
11: I was allowed to move officially into the locker I had been squatting in.
12: Entertainment took over the Character Loader position-and because it's totally not working (or rather, they aren't...), it's probably just a matter of time before it comes back to Inno.
13: We had a dance party in Shanan and Shayna's room. Much fun.
14: I got trained officially to work on Main Street (with For our Guests) by Daisy (Diana) and Tom (who was shadowing her-I had actually met him before when he was picking up a shift at Epcot). That was mucho fun. We did the emporium area for PAC, which was fairly easy. We also watched the Flag Retreat (yawn) and even got to ride the train from the front-i.e. where the train drivers are. That was an experience I will never forget. We are talking the coolest thing ever here. I was one of the waving train driver people. I mean... wow.
15: That was yesterday, today I had day one of PAC training with Jim (from Main St, not from Innoventions, of course) and Becca, another trainee. We did Town Square and had to put out the cheese (big rubber things to stop the floats getting stuck in the trolley tracks-quite ick, they're filthy) for Day PAC - loved it though). For night PAC, I got to do a crosswalk at City Hall (which was SO cool). So, afterwards, we were essentially finished work for the night... but instead, Jim took us to the ROOF OF CASEY'S CORNER TO WATCH WISHES!!! I mean, we are talking the most incredible experience of my life. I officially had a life-defining moment. It was spectacular, incredible, wow-inducing etc. We saw Tink's entire flight, the spotlight on Casey's for her, the PAC lights from up close, etc. etc. etc. Seriously, it was a whole new level of cool. I am officially in love with all things Main Street. Also, I'm fairly sure that working there makes me a citizen of Main Street U.S.A... I'm a citizen of Main Street U.S.A.
How cool is that?

You sound so happy Kev, and having experienced it too - I now know what you're talking about and Wishes is really really good. As Ben will say - it brought a tear to my eye!! Have fun, sorry not to have met you but it will be an excuse for you to come and visit us in Chester xx
Well they did call Casey's corner after us so on top of it is the right place for you. That's such a good likeness of your Dad in his baseball gear!
ack! You don't even mention anything about me and we've hung out all the freaking time during that period. *sigh*
Sounds like you're having a blast! We miss you over on the Inside the Magic forums... come check in with us some time. :)
We'll have to meet up in the parks one day soon.
