Our visit to Disney!
This is a top pick! This is a little late in being posted, but here it is anyway...out of sequence. We went to Epcot on December 20, Disney-MGM on the 21st and the kids went to The Magic Kingdom on the 22nd while I moved the trailer to the campground from the Resort. ...
Finally...The Incredible(s) trip is here
This is a top pick! After months of planning...because we like to plan...unless we don't, it's time for us to go. In an unusual display of responsibility, we packed the night before... because unlike Mrs. Incredible, it doesn't take us three whole years to unpack our ...
First Base
I made it! 3 flights and 29 hours after jetting off from the dreary International Terminal at Perth Airport I touched down in Orlando to end the first travel phase of the trip. At Perth Airport Qantas must be having a crackdown on carry-on luggage as ...
Older World
... between the park and the Center. The inside track operates in a clockwise direction and also stops at the hotels around the lake. I took the express because it is the most frequent (trains every 2-3 minutes) and it was fun to express through ...
Half of the World
... every time. The evening's entertainment came in the local version of Fantasmic!, a show performed on an island in a lake about Mickey's imagination. I found it a bit Friday the 13th because Mickey has a nice dream that is then overtaken by ...
Day 1
First day: drove the 1.5 hours to Disney and checked into our hotel for the night: Disney's AllStar Music Resort. Not my favorite place, but it's clean and had a great special rate for FL residents... and the Wilderness Lodge didn't have anything ...
My first(and probably last) Easter at DisneyQuest
Yes-I spent all of my Easter evening at my favorite five-floor interactive theme park. Yes, I will probably never spend another Easter Sunday at DisneyQuest. I definitely made the most of my shift, as I was making magic all over:Aladdin(I was awarded a ...
Rachael! Rachael! Rachael!
Good morning! Today is Wednesday, February 23, and what a beautiful day God gave us! Yesterday was a pretty wonderful day, as I woke up around 9:00. You won't believe what I did next....HOMEWORK! Hooray! Brad was productive! I knocked out four or five ...
Did Brad pass his assessments?!?!...
.....of course he did! Today, I had the all-important Assessment Day, as I had to take written tests over all eight attractions I will be responsible for, in addition to a fairly substantial test about Disney Quest in general. Questions included ...
Productivity is neat!
Hello dear family and friends! There are four minutes left in this glorious day known as March 15. I actually accomplished quite a bit today, so I am pretty proud of myself. I slept in until 10 am, and it was as magical as it sounds. Then, I finished ...
Another night of "half-priced apps"
Hello friends...I love my life. It basically dominates at the moment. Today, I sprung out of my cozy little bed around 9:00, ready to take on Round 2 at Kouzzina! Oh Cat Cora-you had me at artichoke spread on kalamata toast. As many of you know, I am a ...
Lakers!
Good morning! Last night I was able to see my Aunt Penny, Mike, and Nick at DisneyQuest!!!! Did you know the DQ is my favorite 5 floor interactive theme park?! I was working cybrolators (ticket turnstiles) when Penny and Mike arrived! I have never seen ...
I've got a golden ticket!!!!
Good morning! It is 7:46, and I have a feeling today will be a tenacious Tuesday in Orlando, FL. Yes, tenacious is not the best word for that sentence, but I like alliteration, and terrific wouldn't cut it. Yes, last night, I did indeed receive a Golden ...
Expatriate Development with a side of pancakes
Good morning! Today is Wacky Wednesday, March 23! The Beeman clan, all the way from Bellevue, NE arrived in Orlando last night!!! Hooray! Unfortunately, I am unable to see them today, as I have an appointment, and then I work from 4:30 until closing. ...
Traditions....TRADITIONS!
I had the lovely opportunity to wake up at 6 am today (Jan. 19) to go to Traditions. I think I will be going to sleep very early throughout this program, as I am exhausted by 8 pm! Today was very fun, as we set out to Disney University for a 4.5 ...
Fabulous day with family!!!
Dragging ourselves out of bed early, EPCOT was the destination for the day. The Daddona's are leaving today and smartly had everything packed and at bell services before we headed out the door. Rob opted to stay back for the morning because he was not ...
I like living in Disney Wold
... wanted to adopt me. However, I would miss Diet Coke and ice, so have no fear-I will continue to live in the United States. I worked a variety of positions last night, which was nice. I worked Pirates, Coaster Greeter, launch bays, and CYBROLOATORS WITH ...
I really need to learn Spanish...
Hola! La Salida es aqui! Tres! Dos! Ocho! Gracias! Un momento! These are all statements I utilized today, as 90% of the guests today did not speak English. Unfortunately, I do not know the phrase "If your AstroBlaster does not start operating right away, ...
A fantastic food day...
"YUMMMMMMMMMMMM." That was my most popular word today, as Laura and I once again conquered some must-do dining establishments in Disney World! woop woop! I woke up early (8:15), and worked on my paper for about 3 hours-isn't that impressive! I am ...
The Greatest Birthday Weekend Ever!
Hello! I am 21 now...did you hear? It is pretty exciting! I arrived back at Chatham not too long ago, as my parentals and Patty and John were headed to the airport, following a magical vacation in Florida. I had an absolutely spectacular time with them, ...

We rested a bit this morning then shopped our way through Downtown Disney. The girls hit the World of Disney and Robbie hit the Lego Store. Everyone left happy with their purchases and a little lighter in the wallet. We returned back the hotel to rest ...
We we we so excited! We so excited!
Happy Palm Sunday, everyone! I just returned from church, and it was a wonderful mass as always. I am going to miss my favorite Basilica choir, as they simply dominate every song they sing. They sang this crazy-amazing version of "Were you There?" today, ...
I want to forget my pin one day...
Hello all! Today was not too exciting, although I did complete my training! Hooray! This means I have successfully "earned my ears," so watch out world...Brad Rediger has arrived. Not really, but I am glad I am done with training. Today was greeter ...

A glorious mass & a relaxing Sunday
Buenos Noches! I just returned from Mexico!...in Epcot, that is. I had a wonderfully relaxing day today, and I was even sort of productive! I woke up around 9:30, lounged around, and headed to church at 11:30. I am extremely lucky, as my new church, ...
EPCOT Food and Wine Festival 2013
Since I was lucky enough to go to this with Gary and Jill on a Saturday and it was ridiculously full I decided to go again with Jym to experience a quieter and less full time. 29 countries and 3.5 hours of eating and drinking around the world. You ...
Day 45 of my journey-ay ay ay!
Buenos noches, mi amigos! Today was a pleasant day in Orlando, I suppose. I woke up around 10, which is spectacular. My sleeping schedule is all over the place, so it was nice to have a morning to sleep in! I finished one of my assignments for UNK, and I ...
Today I get to meet Mary Poppins!
Hello kids! Yesterday was a good day, as I finished my paper for my Corporate Analysis class! It was over the Disney Signature Line, which is an upscale line of adult furniture, where a stool costs over $800. Nuts! What else is new...um...I am figuring ...
A sad farewell to Nicholas :(
Yesterday, we had to say goodbye to Nicolas, which was depressing. However, we've decided that a road trip to Denver is necessary to visit Nicolas, so I am excited for that. Plus, I just found out he has two beagles! BEAGLES! Gah-Nico's departure made me ...
Opening the DQ and the Garden of Olives
Good evening friends and family...dear lord-you should have seen DisneyQuest today! We reached capacity! This means we couldn't let more guests enter the building until others left! It was utter madness, as it was pouring all day long, which persuaded ...
