So, I went to Disney World this past week..just got back yesterday.It was so fabulous!! But not nearly as relaxing as I thought it might be. Brooke was really testy the first few days and I really felt like I reprimanded her more than anything...but it was fun!
Soo many people asked me where I lived. So I told them Georgia. hah. It was so funny to see the looks on their faces since I'm obviously not from Georgia, but they asked where I lived and not where I was from. I always feel awkward answering that question when I'm on holiday since I feel compelled to tell them I 'live in Georgia but am from England'.
I thought it was kindof obvious anyway. Is that just an assumption on my part? That people would recognise an English accent? Because sometimes I felt stupid just telling them I'm from England. Did they want to know I'm from West Sussex? Or would they even know where that was? While standing in queue for one ride I had a nice chat with another english mum, from Essex, and felt comfortable telling her West Sussex.
It's just something I sort of worried about while telling people where I was from. Did they think I thought THEM stupid if I didn't divulge a bit more information than England? I only say this because if someone were to tell me the exact city they lived in (anywhere in the world), I wouldn't know where it was unless it was a major city.
Disney was amazing, as usual, and we had a few cast members go out of their way for us and a few cast members that must have hated their job. I do understand some people actually hate their job, regardless of who they're working for, and that everyone has bad days, but sometimes all you have to smile and say 'Hi' to people and that's enough to show me you at least care about the people you're working with.
I'm going to start a Disney blog about my experiences with the hotel and other things I know loads about, to give people my opinions on them. When I was researching the hotel I was staying in, I couldn't find much information on it besides what the Disney website stated. Not that I don't believe the website, because I do whole-heartedly, but I couldn't find out how it would fit my needs as a mum with a four year old.
Hopefully that'll at least be started later today, so if you're interested, check my blogger profile and there should be a link. I'll try and link it here if I remember after I get it up. :)
Hope everyone is having a magical day!! 8O
