Training started at eight. I was at the mouseketeria slightly early so I bought a coffee with the hopes of assisting my mind to stay awake.
I was trained with two others. Alli from Oregon and Jorge from Puerto Rico. Our trainer was a happy lady, a bit of a mix between Sara Smiles and Rebel Wilson.
We did a quick walk through the line at Mermaid, then had a look around Gastons tavern, went through belle again (I got a bookmark from belle), and then went to see Rapunzel and Snow White, then to see Phillarmagic again. We came out just in time to see the sword of the stone ceremony. Our Hero for the day was a young girl called Rachel.

We went over some of the cards which people can present to you when on greeter (fast passes, re-adds etc). And then went and looked at the entrances to Small World and Peter Pan.
Alli is training on Belle, and Jorge on Small World/Peter Pan.
Our trainer was full of snippets of fun facts and told us about all sorts including the Cinderella Castle Suite.
Alli is auditioning for a face character role next month so we saw how to apply for time off- very handy for preparing for Kate and mums stay.
We had a long lunch. I got something warm from the grill as my hands were frozen from being outside.
We spent the afternoon doing e learning on the computers. I had done most of this the night before so had heaps on spare time to look on the Disney websites. Eventually we headed over to costuming where we ended our day. I got a set of gloves to have for when I am on outside roles at Mermaid.
I think I can officially take off my earning ears now. Will check at work tomorrow.

I got the bus to Vista and then Switched to the Walmart bus to get my shopping. Along with my food for the next few weeks I was super excited to try some ice cream as a treat (Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey). When I got up to pay my work pay card wouldn't register. Then my travel card wouldn't work, but thankfully I managed to get payment to go through and could keep my groceries. The extra time it had taken to get my card to work had meant I missed the bus home. Oh man. But on the bus which I finally got was A lovely girl Meita who I had met on one of the first days. She is from Aucklabd and knows some of my friends from TFC. We talked about all sorts including missing the foods from home.
When I got home and unpacked my goods the ice cream was no where to be seen. WHAT? I had been so excited for it. Mum reckons it is divine intervention because it would have given me an upset stomach. I was only going to have a little bit at a time. I was super annoyed with myself about this, especially after the payment fiasco. I decided to calm myself down by doing some colouring in. Stacey Mel and I sat down and did some Disney Princess colouring. They are looking outstanding.
In the mean time Missy had been to the doctors and she has bronchitis. Eeek. She has no voice at the moment.

Maintenance came yesterday and fixed up a few of the problems in the apartment. New toilet set. Fixed bathroom light, bedroom light, blocked kitchen sink, non draining dishwasher, non draining shower etc. it's nice to be able to shower when not standing in an inch or two of water.
5am start tomorrow to go and get our social security cards.
I have loved seeing characters onstage, but it is just as exciting spotting them backstage. I've seen quite a few already. Alice, Wendy, Peter, Mary Poppins, Mad Hatter, Belle, Snow, Aurora, Cinderella, Chip n Dale, Piglet.
