Just another week in Disney World

So writing a blog is hard...... I have a hard time coming up with things to write about so once again sorry if this post sucks and is boring. It kinda seems like more happened at home this week then here. The son of my oldest friend in the world, George Knebel, was born today. Wanna take a minute out to congratulate him and his beautiful wife Amiee on their first child, Judah Gavin Knebel I hope you guys enjoy parenthood. My teammates ran their first race this week, don't worry guys I'm following the results and I expect big things out of you this year. My dad joined a country club. (Don't worry we're still not rich, it was a free trial membership for the rest of the year.) My parents got a new bed for my room (after I slept on an air mattress all summer!) I guess life here is starting to become routine because that seems like a lot more than I did this week. At work I'm starting to feel more and more like I've been there forever, I've never had a job where I work 40 hours a week and you get to know what you're doing really really fast! I thought I knew a lot about Disney before but daily I learn something  new. My week consisted of mostly work but on my days off I went to the parks (Epcot and Hollywood Studios) and went golfing at one of Disney's amazing courses (for $30 bucks with a cart might I add). It's funny how doing all that and living in Florida seems like not a lot going on. By the way for those of you that are golfers I had my first ever chip in for birdie while I was golfing this past week, it was one of the happiest moments of my life. Well anyway I'll get to the point of this post, I've come to realize that everything in Disney World is different when you're here as a cast member. I don't want to ruin the magic for all of you so I'll just leave it at that. But the magic you don't experience as a guest is multiplied even more as a cast member. As I'm walking through the parks and I see a little kid experiencing the magic for the first time it gives me such a sense of pride knowing that I work for a company that can cause so much happiness for so many people around the world. Seeing the magic in effect is even better when you're the one causing the magic for someone. As part of my job I've learned to make balloon animals (and I must say I'm kind of good at it) but the look on a child's face when you give them something so simple as a balloon sword and some Mickey Mouse stickers is priceless. This might not mean anything to most of you but we greet people with the phrase "Welcome home" and from personal experience I know that's one of the best things to hear at Disney World. The examples of bringing magic to people are endless and it never gets old. So like I said everything is  different in Disney World as a cast member but for me the magic is even greater because you get to see firsthand on a daily basis the magic coming to life in other people's lives. So far that is by far the best part of this experience. That's all I have tonight so until next time,
