So here we are almost two months down of 2010 and I’m fianlly getting back to posting on here. Things have been pretty hectic for me the past few months with my return to Magic Kingdom® Guest Relations and then my return back to Ticketing last month. Lots of exciting new opportunities back at Ticketing which makes the future look bright.
Anyways, work aside, I am finally on a kick to get myself back in to shape. I took the time to join the YMCA Aquatic Center and have made it a goal to go every day after work. So far, two weeks down and I’ve done it every day! I’m starting off with a mix of gym, weights, abs/core classes and swimming laps. I didn’t realize how much I missed swimming and the water so it’s nice to be back in a routine and back at a Y. For those that are new to following me on here, I’ve worked at two YMCAs and was a lifeguard and swim instructor for close to 8 years.
Well, laundry is almost done and I can put the last bit of stuff in my suitcase for my trip tomorrow. Here’s to hoping it warms up and that the weather is nicer in the Bahamas!
Cruise photos are now up on Picasa from my first Disney Cruise on the Disney Wonder this December with Mom and Dad. See the slide show below or visit my Photos page for a link.
So I know that ‘Small World’ is a song that can get stuck in your head and I, like many others, tend to avoid the ride for fear of the song, this is actually a pretty cute new advert from Disney Parks.
Well, it’s been about two weeks since I came back from probably one of the best vacations I have taken in a long time. I had the unique experience of enjoying the 100th anniversary of Camp Lincoln for Boys in Lake Hubert, MN. It was like taking a trip back and reliving the summers I had as a kid along the shores of Lake Hubert. For those that don’t know, Camp Lincoln is where I spent the summers from 1991 – 1999 as a camper and CIT. At camp I learned to love meeting new people from around the world and fostered a love for sailing. Camp is also one of the reasons why I am here now in Florida and at Walt Disney World. Through the connections I had at camp, I learned about a small school in St. Petersburg, FL called Eckerd College. Thanks to Eckerd, I met some good friends who helped me get a role here at Disney. Camp is also important to my family as it is where Mom and Dad met. The rest, as they say, is history.
The Camp Reunion was a great time reliving old memories and reminiscing with old friends along with meeting many new ones. Justin, Mandy, Sarah and Courtney, thanks for a great time and Mandy, it was great to be out on the water again together. It was also fun to just relive the experience of being at Camp and living in Eagles cabin again after 14 years and singing some of the best songs I remember from the summers growing up! The 100th Dinner was amazing too with great music and a great message from Governer Tim Pawlenty. Thanks again to everyone who made the weekend a blast and to those at Camp that planned such a great event. I hope that I can return to Camp again soon and do another Alumni weekend or summer again soon! Check out below for my pictures from the weekend.
Back in the real world, things are slow around the office these days and I am just doing my thing to keep busy. More vacation coming this weekend when Dad and I will be going to Anaheim and visiting Disneyland . I haven’t been since 2006 but this will be Dad’s first time. I’m sure it will be a great weekend and as an added bonus, I will get to meet up with my friend Julien from Disneyland Paris as well. Look for more updates soon.
Well, I am going to try something new, blogging from my BlackBerry while I sit at the pool thanks to WordPress for BlackBerry.
Things have actually been somewhat busy here. At work, we just finished the 2009 Summer Complimentary Ticket Distribution for Cast Members and things are slowing down again. I celebrated my 27th birthday on June 25 at Jelly Rolls with a great group of friends and this past week, spent a great day in the parks with my friend Chris and his girl friend Nicky from DC. Just relaxing tonight. For those that want more updates, I suggest following @websteth on Twitter as I post there several times a day. Now that I have the app on my BlackBerry, may be I will blog here more too.
Until next time, I leave you with the view from the deck chair.
Well, I am blogging from 10,000 feet up (even though this will post when I land) on my way back to Orlando from a 3 day weekend trip to New York City with the family. My brother Tim is currently working on his Masters of Fine Arts at Hunter College so Mom, Dad and I took the weekend to go visit.
Despite some rain, the trip was a lot of fun visiting several museums free of charge thanks to working for TWDC (American Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Modern Art) in addition to the Metropolitan Museum of art. In addition to museums, we also met up with my cousin Stephanie, who also lives in NYC. Overall, it was a great trip but, it reminded me of how much I missed London and how much I want to get back over there even for a short visit.
One more day off then back to work on Tuesday. Finally getting used to having Sunday/Monday off. My next mini vacation will be a quick overnight in St. Pete for a lifeguarding class at Eckerd College next weekend then its Orlando until September.
Well, time to sign off for now.

So I have been looking back over my Google Reader feeds and have noticed how my site is not the only one that has been lacking in updates for a while. With the big push of social networking, it seems that mico-blog updates are becoming the norm these days. I know myself, I tend to post regular updates to my Twitter and Facebook accounts not only with my currnet status but also interesting articles/videos that I have read or watched on the net.
With the push of 3G and Smart-Phone mobile devices the on-the-go drive for updates only increases. I can’t say how many times I have pulled out my BlackBerry to post a picture or quick note about something on the fly via Twitter. President Obama showed in his campaign what the power of Twitter and Social Networking can do to orgainize people for a common cause. With Twitter and sites like Digg encouraging sharing and interacting, it just makes sense for getting people with common interests together.
So, if you aren’t on the Twitter or Facebook bandwaggon, check them out and feel free to follow me for even more updates.
This advert from T-Mobile UK is just simply amazing. Watch the moment hundreds of commuters danced in a train station. This was part of T-Mobile’s ‘Life’s for Sharing’ campaign was filmed in Liverpool Street Station during rush hour. The idea was the get people to share the moment with friends and family via their mobile device.
For those that know me, you know that for the last 5 years I have been a part of the Candlelight Processional at Epcot® here at the Walt Disney World® Resort. This is something that has been such a great experience for me and I have met some really great people because of it including some of those in the movie. Check out the video below from Disney Parks for a little more insight in to the show. Can anyone spot the person that looks like me in the video? Hard to say if it is me but cool none the less.
