The Spookiest Place to Work!

Halloween has hit the Magic Kingdom!

The Spookiest Place to Work!
Drew Heisey

I have to say that I work in the most magical place on Earth and I love my job! The first few weeks of training were a bit of a learning curve, but I feel that I have it down. I am finishing up my first week of work by myself and I have to say that it has been magical. I love interacting with guests and see how their visit is going at Walt Disney World.

The other day I worked my first Mickey's Not-So Scary Halloween Party and I had the best night of my life! I got to dress up in a spooky outfit that was decked out with bats and Halloween colors.

I have inserted a picture that I took in costume before I left to go to work. I figured those who have never been to Walt Disney World during Halloween would want to see what the outfits are like. The entire park was filled with costumed guests that were in their favorite movie or character costume that they wanted to portray. I saw many Jedi and Sith, Disney characters, Harry Potter characters and so much more. I was impressed with some of the costumes that guests made themselves.

I started working outside when the party began and the area was filled with ghoulish music that was very similar to the Haunted Mansion. As the sun was setting, the park really came to life with black lights and Cinderella's castle that looked spookier than it did a few hours ago. There are Mickey jack-o-lanterns throughout the entire park that light up when it become dark. The park is filled with numerous "treat" locations, where guests can go trick or treating and get some candy. You get treat bags to hold your candy while continuing to enjoy the offerings that Mickey's Not-So Scary has to offer like exclusive character meet and greets. All of the characters are wearing their own Halloween costumes like Mickey And Minnie and then there are others that don't need them like Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. There are many characters that make appearances that normally don't, like the Sanderson sisters from Hocus Pocus and Hades from Hercules.

While working, I have the ability to see the Boo to you parade. Of all of the parades I have seen at the Magic Kingdom, this was by far one of my favorites. I got glimpses here and there and loved the theming entirely. You see a lot of characters that you don't normally meet during regular park hours like the hitch hiking ghost from the Haunted Mansion. I recommend getting your tickets in advance or making a special trip to Walt Disney World just for Halloween.

It's the Spookiest time to visit!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
