Wow how time flies when you're having fun... and getting drunk. That's right friends... the first two weeks of the year have gone by in a bit if a blur... don't judge me for it. I'm having a blast.
I'm well into my restaurant work. Seating guests, greeting them and the podium, and all around just entertaining them while they're waiting for a table.
There's been the New Year's party... which was fun... there was the anything but clothes party... which was even more fun.
I hit up The Studios and the Animal Kingdom Lodge with Andrea, one was fun, the other was beautiful... you decide which was which.
My mother is on my case about a lack of blogs, so I'm writing this short one to satisfy her... I have to head to work now, but I'll be back again to write a longer one...

The Town That Disney Built...
Today friends, I visited Celebration Florida... the town that Disney built...
It is one heck of a quaint little town... I almost expected Barbara Billingsley to walk out on the front porch of one of the houses... pearls, apron, the whole bit... I didn't, but I almost expected it... judge for yourself...
And if those places look at all familiar it's because they sit on a familiar street... Last time, on Desperate Housewives...
Now... I'm not saying that it's purely coincidental... but Celebration was built in 1994, by Disney... ten years before Desperate Housewives premiered on ABC, a Disney owned company... where the characters live in similar looking houses, on a street with the same name... that's a pretty big coincidence...
In addition to the houses of Desperate Housewives... there was also the downtown area of Celebration...
A panorama made as my photographer friend taught me to make it...
I may have more on Celebration later on... but that's all for now...
Today friends, I had my first Disney Celebrity sighting... while up at the Disney Beach Club Resort (on a hidden Mickey hunt, that I'll have more on at a later time) I found myself in the Cape May Cafe... and who should be sitting in front of me... the husband and wife acting team of Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance... cool!
They were the hosts of tonight's Candle Light processional at Epcot... but there you go... celebrities in our midst friends!
That's all for tonight friends... having said that...

On This Day in Disney History:
December 27th, 1927:
Disney's Oswald the Lucky Rabbit short Rickety Gin is released. For those not in the know... Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was Walt's first cartoon success however, he was owned by Universal and they didn't allow Walt to continue with him. He said that he would then take his animators and start his own studio. Universal informed hm that in addition to owning Oswald, they also owned his animators and they sent him packing. It was on the train from New York to Los Angeles after this fateful meeting that Walt doodled a small mouse named Mortimer. Upon showing it to his wife Lillian, she told him the Mortimer was a silly name, and he should call him Mickey... the rest is history.

So This is Christmas...?
And what have you done? Well friends, I've sat around in my shorts in balmy, albeit overcast, 25 degree weather. It just doesn't feel like Christmas... Cinqo de Mayo perhaps... but Christmas? Nada.
Last night I had the pleasure of attending a Christmas Eve party with my fellow Canadians and this morning, after opening gifts on Skype with the family, going to a Christmas breakfast with a different group of fellow Canadians... but all of the X-mas revelry aside, it still just feels like a Friday.
I'm not complaining though... I'm just saying.
Today I finish up my last shift on the popcorn cart in Canada at Epcot... not to say that it will be my very last shift, but tomorrow I have the day off, and Sunday I start my seater/greeter training for Le Celier... I don't terribly mind being on the P-Cart, as I get alot of great guest interaction...
The one thing that seems to surprise everyone the most is that we (the Cast Members of Canada) are actually Canadian! One day this week, a woman came up to me, looked at my name tag which says "Josh - Pickering, Ontario") and remarked... "Pickering? My principal is from Pickering" "What's his name?" I asked... sure that I wouldn't know him... there are over 90,000 people in Pickering. She says "Howard Laderman" "Well yes," I said, "I know Howard quite well... I went to both elementary and high school with his daughter, and he and his wife are very good friends of a friend of my mother's" And then I heard the theme for it's a small world start playing in my head... Turns out Pickering isn't as large as I thought it was...
And now I must go ready myself for work... the moral of today's blog is this... if you find yourself in Epcot, at Canada, and you are from the GTA (Greater Toronto Area for those of you not in the know) come by and say hello... I may have gone to school with your child, delivered newspapers with your neighbour, or attended acting lessons with your manicurists son... you never know, unless you inquire...

Seeing as how it is Christmas (regardless of what it feels like) and I do have to work... I'll give today a okay-ish rating...

And the hunt begins...
I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the concept of a Hidden Mickey, but let me tell you about it...
Hidden Mickeys started out as inside jokes among the Walt Disney Imagineers. A Hidden Mickey is an image of Mickey Mouse concealed in the design of a Disney attraction (ride, resort, etc...). Originally, it took the shape of a head and ears silhouette,
(look familiar?) i.e. one large circle with two smaller circled on top in the appropriate place, but Hidden Mickeys can take on many forms. There are literally hundreds of Hidden Mickey's (HM's) throughout the Walt Disney World Resort... and today I went on a hunt for some of them.
Yesterday, while at the Animal Kingdom, I saw an HM on the ground in the village of Harambe... this was it... see what I mean?
Having seen that one, I decided to go on a hunt for more... I'll more than likely add them to the blog from time to time... but here are the ones that I found today...
If you look at the cluster of circles on the right hand side of the vine... a blue circle on the bottom, with two smaller yellow circles above it, you've seen the HM...
This one struck me as more of an Overt Mickey, but it's in the book... so it's now here for you viewing pleasure...
After the Overt Mickey, you've got the abstract Mickey... however, seeing as how this one sits on the mural in the Contemporary overlooking Chef Mickey's restaurant... perhaps one should view it as a Mickey with his chef's hat on... but that's just me...
This one truly is hidden... That's the mouse, sitting atop a maintenance building, behind the Contemporary, in an area only visable from backstage... sometimes it helps to be a Cast Member...
This is one that you wouldn't notice unless you stopped to see it... It's Mickey, sitting on top of his own head, perched above a classic Mickey head... it's kind of surreal...
This one doesn't get seen often, unless you have reservations for dinner at the California Grill in the Contemporary... again, sometimes it pays to be a Cast Member...
This is just one example of the HM's you'll find in the carpet throughout the resort... that mouse is everywhere...!
This could also fall into the category of an Overt Mickey... but it is one of the few times you'll see Mick designed as a stick figure... also, it's in the book, so it's on the blog...
This one is a special HM, as it's only seasonal... you'll find the golden mouse ears stamped eight times into the gingerbread Christmas tree on the grand concourse of the Contemporary Resort...
This is one of my favorites (so far)... it's probably the largest HM on property, and is only visible from a birds eye view... a view which took me almost an hour to achieve. I finally was able to ride a service elevator to a private club, where a very nice CM let me out on the balcony to take the picture... I've said it before, I'll say it again... sometimes it pays to be a Cast Member... for those of you who hadn't noticed... it's a giant Mickey Mouse watch...
That's all I've got for now... but I'll continue to add more as they come. If you're planning on taking your own trip to WDW, and want to condut your own Hidden Mickey hunt... I would recommend picking up this book...
An invaluable resource for the Disney guest on the hunt for the Mouse incognito... but be sure to get the 4th edition... it has some updated clues...
That's it for now...

Today was awesome (I'm sure I'll have a bad day eventually)... got my car insurance, my parking pass (a source of great consternation since before I even left home) and I did the first of many HM hunts...

On This Day in Disney History:
December 20th, 1971:
Roy O. Disney, (one of) Walt's older brothers, business partner, and co-founder of The Walt Disney Company, passes away at the age of 78 of a cerebral hemorrhage in Burbank, California. Roy served as the company's chief executive officer (1929–1971) and president (1945–1971). While Walt was the creative man, Roy was the one who made sure the company was financially stable - and it was Roy who made sure Walt Disney World was built. With both Disney brothers gone, the board of directors for the first time will have to turn outside the Disney family for leadership. Donn Tatum will become chairman and Card Walker president of Walt Disney Productions, both of whom were personally hired by Walt to work for the company. It's also worth mentioning that December 15th (five days ago, and I day that I didn't blog due to my schedule not permitting it) marked the forty third anniversary of Walt Disney's passing. Two truly great brothers that both changed the face of the entertainment industry forever...

The busy (and the fun) leads to a lacking...
Hey there friends...
Sorry for my absence... but I've been very busy (and let's face it) having far too much fun to take a few minutes and sit down and write... I know, I know... it's not an excuse... but it's my blog and I'll use it as such if I so please!
So much has been happening... I've completed my first two days worth of training on the popcorn cart at Epcot... sounds like challenging work I know, but it's been fun... and you get soooooo much guest interaction. Seriously though, working the p-cart isn't hard... yet. I can imagine being out there by yourself it will get to be a little challenging, but fun nonetheless.
On to the fun stuff... my arrival group and I have been hitting up the various parks... having ourselves a blast with our free Disney entry...
Aren't we hot?
As a group at least... look at us individually and you m
ight think differently... these people are my family for the next year, so I'm glad I ended up with such a nice group of kids...
Last night I hit up the Hollywood Studios with the two girls in black... we didn't have time to ride much... but we did get in The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror... which is just as awesome as I remember it... we also got the chance to ride Rockin' Roller Coaster with Aerosmith... fun as all get out... if you haven't had the opportunity to ride it yet... please do so, you won't regret it... and that was it for the Hollywood Studios...
Today, with some more of my arrival group and I hit up Disney's Animal Kingdom...
That friends, is the tree of life... make it bigger, see if you can pick out the animals carved right into the tree... there are over 320 animals carved into the tree by twenty artisans... and it took over 18 months to construct... oh, and all those leaves (All 100,000 of them) were individually placed... by hand. Yea... that's a lot of work. This is why you are struck by it's beauty as soon as you see it... nice eh?
We hit up the safari... too many pictures to post... But it brought back a lot of memories, as the safari was where I worked the last time I was a cast member... we got soaked on the Kali River Rapids... soaked to the bone friends... unpleasant as there was a chill in the air... and we rode Expedition Everest... a truly awesome experience...
And that was my day... all in, a great one...
And there are more to come... so...

And away we go...
Ok friends... I sit her in my lovely khaki pants, and my even lovlier black and red checkerboard shirt... about (not aboot) to embark on my first day at Epcot. I'm excited as all get out. Also, I'm rocking this outfit, and if you can look good in this, I'd wager a guess that there is nary an article of clothing you couldn't look good in... trust me.
Yesterday was what is known a Discovery Day at Epcot... what I discovered was this... I already knew all that. But it was fine... out facilitators did a good job of making at all go by smoothly.
Today I will actually be at work at the Disney Epcot theme park...
Coffee... check
PB&J... check
Knowledge that I'm gonna rock at this... double check!
I'm going to go in there and be the best damn Disney cast member since Walt told his wife he was going to name his newly created mouse Mortimer... and she told him that was too formal... try Mickey instead...
Never forget, it all started with a mouse... but would that mouse have been nearly as popular if Lillian Disney hadn't spoken her mind? I don't know, neither do you... and history has already been recorded... Mickey Mouse... the most iconic cartoon character ever to grace the celluloid.
Wish me luck friends... this is going to be awesome...

The most magical place on earth...
Just go ahead and tell me friends that that isn't one of the most beautiful things you've ever seen... now just imagine it in person, with all of those little lights twinkling away... as the castle changes from blue to red to purple to pink and back again. Awesome.That's right friends... myself, and some of my fellow new arrivals went to the Magic Kingdom last night. And we deserved it. We'd spent the entire day doing Traditions, a course that every Cast Member (read: Employee) of Disney must go through, which teaches you about where Disney came from, where it is and where it's going.
We rode Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, and took in Mickey's Philharmagic, Wishes Fireworks Spectacular and the SpectroMagic Parade of Lights. It was all fantastic (as only Disney can do).
One of the members of our group had never been to the Magic Kingdom before. She was running around like a five year old on Christmas morning that had a private audience with the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy. It was hilarious, but then again, it is always nice to see Disney through a kids eyes... which is what it was like. Go Jess!
Tonight that same group will be hitting up Disney's Hollywood Studios... and I'm sure it will be just as amazing... but in order to find out, you have to...

Disney announces it will begin construction of EPCOT in 1976, instead of 1977 as originally planned. This was back when the current day Epcot was going to be the Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow... before it changed to a full theme park, paving the way for yours truly to eventually come and work there... which I start tomorrow.
