With Flying Colours! Today I had my approval for character sets as The Sheriff of Nottingham from Robin Hood. We started work later at 9:30 so I got a small lie-in! We were all in costuming getting our bits and pieces to prepare for either the morning or the afternoon. Those who were being approved in the morning had to get changed there and then and we left the Simba building by 10:15. The first group performed their two sets each in Adventureland where the...

Eventually, our friend Christi who lives on the floor above us came down and asked if we wanted to go out for an explore. So that we did.
