The 5oz Foodie

I am leaving the most amazing group of people to begin my new adventure... I have never felt so much love and appreciation as I did this week at the Lagoon... Short of moving away from home to fly off to Neverland... Everywhere I went this week in the park, I was getting hugs and sweet notes and requests not to leave... On Sunday I had the opportunity to assist in choosing the Big Kahuna for the day... He was an adorable 7 year old boy from Ohio and he had lots of questions for the Life Guard showing him around the park... One of the things the Big Kahuna is responsible for is to make sure all of the Life Guards and Slide Operators working that day are ready to open the park, so they walk over to the morning breakout session... When the Big Kahuna appears everyone cheers... Well, I was walking behind the Big Kahuna's family bringing up the rear and when we walked through the group everyone began to cheer and welcome them in true Disney style...

What a whirlwind of a day... Meetings and classes and a trick over to Epcot to see my Disney family... You know how they say it's good to go home...

I told them how much I enjoy the challenge of a new line of business and the new atmosphere and cast... I love it and I'm not ashamed to say it... Do I miss my Epcot home? I have only been gone about three weeks but down deep I must be because I did make that unintentional drive there on Sunday... lol... Once again I have to say that BFF was right... This is truly what I needed and even though I don't know when this TA will end, I know this is the job I want to be doing... One of our Training Managers spoke at our meeting today and I was impressed by his passion and his love of training... He had been a Disney Ambassador over 5 years ago and when he had finished his time ...
