Wow, long time no blog! SO sorry, it's been a very busy time the last few weeks! Here's a (hopefully) quick rundownTuesday 23rd November: I went into work and Character 1 told me I had my Maleficent approval. It took me by surprise as I wasn't expecting to do it before I come home but when I went to costuming to get my kit they told me they didn't have my costume!! Apparently after Halloween they sent all the Maleficent costumes back to the warehouse, BUT the...

What a week! (and a bit) After a very boring day as Tigger on the 11th and a day off on the 12th I had a pleasant surprise on Saturday when I started my late CAF shift. I was talking to one of the ACC's (a really nice guy called Fabian) and next to my name on his timesheet it said "SC APP R de B N jeudi 10" which puzzled both of us.

Because he's so energetic I was trying to be bouncy all the time while still conserving enough energy for the whole parade route, but it's SO ...

The morning was spent learning to push a machine that's basically lights on a pallet trolley thing. There are 3 black lights that I push while the Parade is moving forward, and then for the Show Stop I park it and set up the lights so that they shine on me while I perform the Show Stop. The costume ...

Just call me Goofy! So this week has been full of firsts and that tall awkward character we all know and love! On Monday I worked a 10:00-18:00 SPP shift and did Goofy in Park 2 in the morning and Green Army in the afternoon. The head I have to wear for Goofy is really heavy and hurts my neck, so when I found out I was him I asked the woman in Character 1 if I could book a doctor's appointment with Jean-Jacques and she said yes, but hadn't done it when I checked...
