Florida is legit... minus the traffic

So I've got 10 weeks left of my College Program. I'm not okay with this. It's going to be so hard to leave. 

In the past couple weeks, I have had an incredible time. I've worked a lot (yet not as much as I could have worked), hung out with my awesome roommates, met some really interesting people at work, worked with some fun cast members, & truly enjoyed everyday. 

Magical Moment Report: I've had small Magical Moments on a daily basis, but the one that stands out the most happened yesterday at work - This precious little boy walked up to the arcade counter & just stood & stared at me. I leaned down, saying "Hello, handsome! How are you today?" He, then, blushed, & began talking to me about his day. Even though he wasn't talking very much, he kept nodding & smiling, staying interested in our conversation. I noticed he was wearing Silly Bands (something that I have gone from loathing to loving) & I asked him what kind they were. He looked down at his wrist, looked back up at me, & said in the cutest little voice, "Disneyyyy." I told him how cool they were, & he looked back down at his wrist and took off the red Silly Band. He handed it to me & said "I'd like you to have this." I immediately got really excited, saying "thank you" repeatedly. I looked down at the bracelet after it re-gained it's shape &.... it was a Mickey Mouse Silly Band. I literally started tearing up, making the little boy think I was probably half insane. It made my entire day & was yet another reminder of why I am here. I love it here; I really do. The experience isn't over just yet, but it will be one I'll never forget. 

This place is truly magical. On a daily basis, I witness just how this place impacts people - both guests & Cast Members alike. The happiness & joy is infectious, & I'm soaking in every bit of it.
