Dreams come true

Yep. It’s three in the morning. I found a spot in the apartment where I can upload pictures, so I am trying to upload pictures like crazy. Unfortunately, it seems that my uploading keeps failing, so I’ll probably just go to bed soon.
My parents were here this previous week. Thanks to all my friends who helped make this an extremely magical vacation! I’m so glad that Patrick, Rian, Nicole, Abby, Sarah, Laura, Chad, Becky, Becky’s parents, Zuck, Ashlea, Grace, Hope, Anthony, and a bunch of my coordinators and managers got to meet my parents. LoL. We lucked out in seeing all of you, and my parents had nothing but nice things to say about everyone. They thought I really had a great network of friends down here – which I clearly do! 
SO proud of all my friends who went to auditions and PASSED! Lauara, Patrick, and Becca, you three flawless diddy doos. And doubly proud of Patrick for passing puppetry and Becca passing parade/show auditions. You two rock my socks. Nervous for my Nov. 20th auditions. We’ll see what happens!
This weekend is Soap Weekends and let me tell you – I’m having the time of my life. Hahaha. So many crazy people are here. I did end up buying a green dress that I have a whole story about. I feel like the story should be vlogged rather than blogged – not going to lie. It requires voices and emotion…Hahaha. I’m glad that everyone who works in DHS got a kick out of my long, involved saga…
I finally got to see the Christmas parade in person. Did I cry? Actually, not really – until the Toy Soldiers came on! Can you say they rock my socks? Because they absolutely do! They were my mom’s favorite, too. I love them.
And the castle lighting is truly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I watched it for the first time with my parents – we staked out our spots 30 minutes in advance – and we all got teary eyed. When the Fairy Godmother lights the castle, everyone gasps. It’s magnificent – and if you’ve never seen it, please go. I have a video, but it will NEVER do it justice! I’m going to try and see it as many times as I can. It happens every day, regardless of the party or not.
PS SCROOGE McDUCK has meet and greets during the Christmas party. Can you say DuckTales and childhood? Because I can! I miss Disney Afternoons! Anyone else? Anyone? Darkwing Duck? Can someone just put a scarf on him and drag him from St.Canard or wherever the hell he is from so I can meet him again? Seriously. I miss him…
We had backstage parking today so I got to drive in back of the Fant Mountain. I was so excited. It was actually smaller than I thought, but still MAGNIFICIENT!
The Kim Possible World Showcase logo is up in Innoventions. I got so excited – yet sad that I probably won’t play it. That depressed me.
We only have, like, a month and a half left. That really depresses me…
IRON CHEF is well underway…well, kind of. Rules and pairings are still up in the air. All I know is that it’s going to be amazing, and I’m not sure if I’ll actually survive. Hahaha. But we’ll tape it, and I’ll make up fun stories about our dishes.
OK. It’s 3:15 AM. I need to wake up at nine, so I should probably get going. Lots of things to look forward to – Auditions, ROCK BAND II, the Christmas Story: Annie’s Secret Club’s Halloween Party, Thanksgiving CP Party, Thanksgiving Party at Steven’s, hopefully more Studio News things. I did Studio News this week with Max. Look for it in more than 100 backstage locations. Channel 95, baby!
I’ll talk to you soon!
