A Not-Quite-Traditional Christmas Eve

12/24/2015

0 Comments

 
Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! There's less than an hour until it's officially Christmas here on the East Coast, and I can't wait!
I missed out on Christmas Eve celebrations for the first time tonight since I was at work, but I couldn't be more thrilled to know that I'll be home with my family all day tomorrow. Do you want to know something though? Spending Christmas Eve working at Disney World was actually pretty great! For starters, I somehow got a 27th wind for a few hours in the middle of the day, and my feet must have just lost feeling or something because they weren't killing me for a while. That was awesome. On top of that, everyone seemed to be in a really great mood to day, which brightened my spirits a lot. I spent the whole day having fun with my team members and interacting with guests, so it was really wonderful.

I know that I'm probably being repetitive, but I'm honestly so thrilled to be working with these Cast Members. I suffer from social anxiety, so it's usually extremely difficult for me to start conversations or let myself act naturally around others, at least when I'm first getting to know them. The other Cast Members on my team, as well as a few others with whom I have contact periodically, are so kind, friendly, and helpful, however; they have made it extremely easy for me to be myself and just talk to them. I don't feel like I have my walls up at all, which is the best feeling in the world. I definitely feel like I've gotten to know a few people a little more (like my trainer, who has been really nice to talk to; one of the other new ladies, who I've connected with over getting used to our new job; and a guy who started just a few weeks before I did and who is a great person to joke around with), but that's probably because I've been on more shifts with them. Even if I don't know the others as well yet, they all seem great and I've thoroughly enjoyed speaking with each of them so far.

I also had the opportunity to speak with a lot of Guests who were in the holiday spirit and enjoying their time at Disney, so they made my day a lot better as well. It's so nice to meet people who embody what Disney is all about and really love being there.


Okay, time for some last minute elf-work... I hope you all have a very merry Christmas!

Thank you so much for your continued support! I look forward to sharing more stories about my experience with foster care, and hopefully hearing from readers who have questions or similar stories to share. I'm always willing to answer questions and hear about other experiences! Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
