I ran into my Disney BFF twice yesterday! His name is Patrick, we met at the Studio Backlot Tour where we started our College Program together and both ended at The Great Movie Ride. He moved back to Boston in May after the program was over, Patrick is a seasonal cast member which means he has to work at least one shift at Great Movie Ride every six months! He came this weekend and he just brightens up my world! Last six months ago we went to the movies and shared our love of Meryl Streep and watched "Julie and Julia". The first movie we saw together was the last show of "Rent" on Broadway that they recorded and put in movie theaters, we then watched "Slumdog Millionaire" and left with the same reaction of "meh". We enjoyed "Last Chance Harvey" being the only people under 50 in the matinee audience. We also like 30 Rock, The Office, theater, So You Think you Can Dance and just being goofy. Like in the Backlot Tour when we made up our spiels to the holiday it was, trying to amuse the other person while they drove, adding words in the spiel, making funny hand gestures to show the guests where to move, hiding behind objects and peeking out. I just love this guy. Even so much that before he left in May I sculpted him a mini Catastrophe Canyon "collectible". Did I mention he calls Mary Poppins "M Pops"?First pic is Patrick crying on the shuttle after performing THE LAST SPIEL EVER for the Backlot Tour, it is sadly now only automated. Next pic was taken at Epcot in "France" during the Food & W festival with Becca, she was the other CP that started with us, she's pretty awesome too. Third was taken six months ago after watching a movie at Downtown Disney.
My other favorite person I worked with on both attractions, Jim from Texas. He was hilarious, had a great attitude, smart, and lived an adventurous life. I'll never forget Jim, everyone's favorite person to work with. He's the "chinamen" in the middle. That's the breakroom at GMR.
