My Top 10 List... take that David Letterman

The things that happen at work that make my week:
1. As I stand watching Cinderella and Prince Charming finish their visit with their final family and walk backstage, passers-by continue to wave and yell to them. I can hear the conversation of two sisters near me that consists of the same, "Look, it's Cinderella!" or, "Hi, Prince Charming!" comments as everyone else. They fall silent and after about ten seconds of watching them disappear backstage, one of the sisters says to the other, "They really need a fat princess."
2. Mary Poppins thanking me for "keeping the place nice and tidy."
3. During fireworks one night, I hear random shouts and applause from a group of drunks I had my eye on. It was a strange part of the show to be cheering at so I look around and see a bride and groom, in gown and tux, walking down the street. I was able to shout a congratulations and felt like celebrities had just thanked me as they continued beaming down the lane.
4. An adult British couple holding hands, skipping down the street, and singing, "It's a Jolly Holiday with Mary."
5. A grown father and his two sons sprinting towards the red telephone booths in the UK and yelling, "We're off to the ministry! Dad, we're going to the Ministry of Magic!" (Harry Potter reference... if you don't understand, you are truly missing out.)
6. I'm standing on the side of the street facing the streams of people coming from all directions. I spot a squirrel on the other end of the street. It spots me. It runs toward me, full force. I panic silently. I don't know what to do, I don't want to look like a fool and run but I don't want rabies. So I stand. The squirrel stops three feet in front of me. Eye contact remains, but my eyes are full of fear. The squirrel gives in and runs around me. I breathe a sigh of relief and look up. A seven-year-old girl eating with her family close by had the same relief in her eyes that I did. We both realize what could have just happened. We both realize that no one else in the park realizes what could have just happened. We both start laughing. A lot.
7. Two grown women twins (again!) in matching motor scooters calling me over to them to look at how beautiful my costume is. My costume? Really? Need a reminder?
8. After fireworks, I was sweeping trash near the front of the showcase, where you have the most beautiful view of every country. The area is really sparse and I'm about to leave until I see a man get down on one knee in front of his new fiance. I stood and watched as they laughed and cried and hugged. No one else saw. And they'll never know I did. It was awesome.
9. I was walking backstage before my shift started in a tired, lazy mood. I approached a crosswalk and as I passed a streetlight, my movement activated a sensor that started playing "Whistle While You Work" all the way to my cast services building. What else could I expect, Disney?
10. I was standing and watching kids of all ages meet Mary Poppins. Besides watching the people who are actually meeting her, I love to see the reactions of the guests walking past her when they notice her. And I can usually tell what kind of person is going to get really excited about it. I did notice this younger, trendy couple with beers in their hands on their way to see Howard Jones perform. As they saw Mary, the woman was excited and pointed to her, but the man... He whipped out his camera phone, got the happiest look on his face, yelled, "You never see her!!" and approached the parents taking pictures of their children who were meeting Mary at the time to snap some of his own. Some people surprise me!
