So when we last left off I was telling you all about my training. Well, training is over and I’m doing everything for real now. It’s been crazy, ridiculous, hectic, stressful, and wonderful all at the same time. I’m having a blast, but there have been plenty of moments when I’ve wanted to walk into a tiny room, all by myself and let out a very loud scream.
The main issue has been my with my costumes. They all came in and then a majority of them needed to altered, re-ordered, or were the exact same as someone else’s (looking at you Pirate Costume). So this left me without costumes and unable to do my programs. Obviously, I was frustrated, to no end. I knew my scripts, I knew my blocking, and I HAD NOTHING TO WEAR! I was just setting up, cleaning up, and running Magic Playfloor. It was driving me crazy. We worked through these issues and I ended up be able to do more programs as my costumes were sent up after alterations and now I have all of my main costumes (Pirate, Chef, Detective, Professor) and I’m just missing bits and pieces of some of the others (Coach, Guinter, Whale Dig, etc) and tomorrow I’ll be getting to do my very first Super Sloppy Science!
Now, my Pirate Wench costume is it’s own special story. You see, no two pirates can be the same on board the ship. Why? Because if a Pirate Wench sees another Wench in her clothes, a brawl will break out. Pirates don’t like to share, and Disney dosen’t really approve of brawling. Obviously. So it was a very big deal when I got my costume and realized it was EXACTLY THE SAME as Sarah’s. (Sarah is one of the other Ent Hosts on my team.) I brought this to the attention of our Costume Tech and her solution was to never been seen together and never have both of us be Pirate on the same cruise. Well, that’s all well and good, but when there’s only four of us on the team and one of us gets injured (one of our other Ent Hosts fell and has possibly torn her ACL), it gets a little tricky! But tonight, thankfully, I was called to the Costume Department to pick up my brand new Pirate costume - and it is GORGEOUS!!! I think I might love it.
Now, I’ve made some very exciting new friends on this contract, and I’d love to tell you about them! So here ya go:
Rosie Blackwater, the finest pirate to ever sail the seven seas, hails from the cold seas of Ireland. She’s sailed around the world fighting sea monsters, ghost pirates, and chasing down Jack Sparrow after he robbed her blind at a grand ball. Her life goal is to become more famous than Captain Hook, her favorite pirate.
Professor Winifred Penelope Make-O-Mess, III is the world’s greatest and sloppiest scientist. She enjoys explosions, the color green, Sheldon Cooper, and making enormous messes. In a tragic, yet completely exciting turn of events during an experiment, her hair was forever turned bright green after Flubber exploded out of its canister and fell on her head.
Chef A La Creme has come to the Disney Dream from the world famous Ratatouille Restaurant in Paris, France. She is part of a very special Kid’s Food Team who are in charge of creating sweet treats and delicious meals just for kids. Her favorite things to make are cookies and cupcakes with her petite chefs.
Detective Ivanna Clue was born in the wilds of northern Russia where she grew up in a family of secret agents and spies. Her father taught her everything he knew and left her enough money to start her own detective company, which she christened “The Top Deck Detective Agency”. She is the original Super Spy and is currently training a fleet of elite attack ducks to be her secret weapons in the fight against evil. Her newest recruit is named Boris and he lives in her coat pocket.
See what I mean? Very fun people to know. Now it’s about time for this little lady to get to bed. So until next time - See Ya Real Soon!
