hillaryindisneyland asked: I'm sorry to hear you're leaving! But I'm headed to WDW on the 9th, so I'm hoping to get a Skipper Jenny ride =]
theyarndemon asked: I'll be there your last week. If i dont see you i'll give you a mental hello. Good luck with whatever it is you end up doing.
katelyncredible asked: Aw man! That means that my visit to Disney on the 29th was my last chance to have you as a skipper and you had already gone home. Sad day. :( BUT I'm super happy for you and wish you the best of luck in the future! I'm from Orlando and it's overrated anyways. ;)
theflowerheals asked: I will NEVER unfollow you because you simply are leaving a job. But seriously, did some guy actually do the thing with the wrist bands? Oh people....
laszlotastic asked: I think it's really nice that you're doing what you want! All careers have to end eventually and I can see how someone can get really tired of working for Disney quickly. But! I don't know why you want to return to Arizona, this place is a silly state.
alexandramknight asked: All I can say is I'd better get a discount on a teeth cleaning, Gertrude!
ariiiiianna asked: aw, good for you. I'm glad you're going on to do what you truly want to be doing! While there definitely were tough times for me on the CP, I loved it. And as much as I miss being down there, the reason I'm going to school and living in NYC is because I want to work in theater. and I truly see my time there as a stepping stone for my career, even if I didn't realize it until...

Alright guys, I don't know how you're going to...
Personally, I don’t believe it really should be a huge deal beyond me- but I’m bracing myself for your reactions nonetheless.
Yesterday, I put in my two weeks (technically 3 weeks) notice for Disney World. (Gasp! Oh nooooo! Whys?!)
My last day working for Disney will be on January 21th, and then it will be no more.
Does this mean that my stories from Disney World will stop?...

I had a great conversation today with a 7 year old...
She was waiting for the Jungle Cruise, and so I asked her if she had ever been on the ride before.
Her: “Yeah! And last time I got to talk on the thingy!” Me: “They let you talk on the microphone? What did you say?” Her: “I told them how old I was!” Me: “Oh! Was it your birthday?” Her: “Yeah! I think it was April.” Me: “You think...

You know what's not so great about the Jungle...
If one person catches the cold, everyone catches the cold.
Stupid microphone smelled like cough drops from the previous skipper two days back, and I’ve been dealing with a runny nose ever since. Uuuuuughhhhhhh

chainedtomemory asked: Are there any real haunted locations in Walt Disney world, other than the Haunted Mansion (before you make that joke. :P ). I've always wondered. Also, have you ever seen the ruins of River Country?
And with that, I say goodnight
Anonymous asked: I don't have a friend who works down there in WDW and I am applying in March (it's the only time I can because of school) and that last anon said there's a place where you could check shifts and stuff, right? I know it's like a few months away, but if I get my job would they tell me where I'll be working or will I have to wait to look on that?
Anonymous asked: Okay, thanks so much! :) It's not on my schedule though, it's listed under my location if you look up my name on the hub. Like it says my location is Adventureland/Liberty Square attractions, and then underneath it apparently it says "tiki room." Not entirely sure since I haven't seen it, but yeah. So like, does yours say "Jungle Cruise" underneath...
cindylotts asked: I hate you. I hate the world. I hate Disney. I hate your face. There ya go... your first piece of hate mail... are you happy?
chainedtomemory asked: I was in Walt Disney World the 18th-22nd and I tried looking for you on the Pooh ride on the 19th. They told me you were a skipper now. I was going to go on the Jungle Cruise on the 22nd, but I didn't have time and had to catch the plane. Sorry I missed you! I hope I get to go back soon either as a cast member or a guest. :D
Anonymous asked: Hi! Sorry to bother you but I have a question! I start working at WDW in a couple weeks, and a friend just checked the hub for me and it says that I'll be working Adventureland/Liberty Square attractions, and then underneath it it says "tiki room." One person told me that this means I will definitely be working that ride (aka the ATT rotation) but another told me that everyone in...
natfish asked: My little sister is in the parks this week to sing at EPCOT, and I instructed her to try and ride your boat today. Hopefully you're working. I'm super excited to hear if she made it!
tinkpink08 asked: The jungle cruise is one of my favorite rides at Disney World. =)

My Mom and my Dad are now following my tumblr
I don’t feel lame about it.
In fact, I think they gained cool points just for signing up for Tumblr!

Met another follower today
I instructed her to return later on and request for my boat.
I know she returned, because my coordinator came up to me and was all “Hey, by the way, there were some people who were looking for you- but you were at distribution. I told them to just check back later, but they said ‘Nah, it’s ok- Jennifer isn’t that all good anyway. She’s pretty lame.”

"Because, Sir, This is Orlando."
alexandramknight:
This afternoon at Dumbo I was spieling to the pen full of people about to get on the ride. It’s the standard sit down and buckle up thing. I always end the spiel with “Any questions?” Sometimes I’ll get a little kid who asks me something silly, but rarely does an adult actually ask me anything.
Today was the exception.
An older gentleman stopped me after I finished off my...

WatchI was there during this for all of the fantasyland shots.
I remember, because I came in for opening duties at the butt crack of dawn, and I opened the door to lead from backstage to onstage and WHAM! What on Earth?!? Film crew EVERYWHERE!
There were tons of fashionable looking college age kids just chilling around near dumbo trying to look as bored as possible, and there I was: standing in my...
Yes
Changed my profile picture to something a bit more terrifying:
Me.
With four ears.
yes yes
Just look at that smile.
Have you ever seen a happier guest?
Probably not
Anonymous asked: When working attractions do you have to have your hair pulled back like in a ponytail? I am asking for girls of course. :)

A little girl came onto my boat dressed up as a...
and she sits down really close to where I’m standing.
Me: “Woah! Could you back up a little? Just scooch a bit further back, keep going, keep going, keep going, almost there… PERFECT! Right on the trap door! I absolutely detest having pirates on my boat, and this should take care of the problem.”
Girl: =O
Me: “Problem?”

angelscrytoo asked: I grew up around Orlando and was raised on Disney and Disney World. I've never known someone to work there though, but I love seeing your stories and the one about the boy on Jungle Cruise tonight absolutely made my day. I really hope that when I go to Disney next you'll still be there because I would love to have you as a skipper or run into you somewhere else. Your stories absolutely...
