After years of auditioning, months of anticipation, weeks of rehearsals, and a last few days of freedom, I finally stepped aboard my new home. It has been a crazy blur of endless days and nights leading up to this moment. We had to leave Toronto at 6:30am, which means I had to be ready to leave the hotel at 3:30am. I barely got about an hour of sleep the night before. But don't worry, I slept about two more hours on the flight to Orlando. We arrived in Orlando and shuttled to the Pop Century Hotel, I dropped my bags, put on my MagicBand, and went straight to Walt Disney World. I won't bore you with all the details of what happened at the parks but let's just say the following three days included, but not limited to:
We had another early call to get on the boat and I must say it was a perfect sight watching the sunrise from behind the ship. It was like something from a movie, I wanna say *The Lion King*...You exactly what scene I'm referring to. The cast was welcomed on board by a crowd of applause which I was totally not against. Ya'll...this ship is huge and I was getting lost pretty much every time I moved from point A to point B. But as we are getting through the crossover period it's definitely getting easier. We have been doing a lot of shadowing of the Dream 6 cast, which has been incredibly helpful and makes me even more excited to get started. We have this awesome cruise director who gave one of the most inspirational talks I've received from a stranger within five minutes of meeting them. The one thing that stuck in my head was him saying, "Embrace the isolation". This guy definitely has a grasp on #SeizeTheDay and has made me more determined to leave the ship better than when I came on. How that will happen I don't know, but you'd better believe I'm gonna have a blast finding out! Already I've met some interesting people from all over the world and might have signed myself up with a French instructor. How do you say "Yaaassss!" in French? Oh, I guess it'd be "Ouuuiiiiii!" Today is our opening cruise, meaning...it's all us at this point. We as a cast couldn't be more excited and I as a singular person could not be more proud of my cast. (You're gonna hear me say that a lot over the next several months so get used to it...) Ok, I have a video ready to be uploaded but our internet isn't the best, so sharing these videos are gonna be very infrequent. I apologize in advance so I guess I'll vow to take more photos instead. Bummer I know, but what can you do.
