That's right, this blog might have hope. I've decided to not return to Disney Cruise Line, but i have had a few people email me who like the idea of taking my place. I hope a year from now i can try working in the parks for a summer through a school program, but that would not be for a good long while. If anybody would like to contribute to this blog, feel free to email me and I'll be more than happy to help set you up. For those that would like to keep reading my posts, you can do so through my old blog found at www.jeremymilne.com.


Cheers All,
Jeremy Milne

Due to my schedule for schooling in Vancouver changing, and my retunring to vancouver, I won’t be able to post personal posts on this site for a good while. In the mean time, others have volunteered to share their day to day lives and adventure with Disney. If you would like to join this group of people contributing, please feel free to send an entry through my contact page.

So much to update! Here we go…

A few days ago we had my first rocky seas, yahhhhh!!! The ship kept at full speed to reach Florida even with the 20 foot waves. I sat in the crew bar watching them move up and down while nursing a Corona (which if done in excess is almost as good as friends). I ended up feeling bit barfy (is that a word?) and went back to my room early.

Today I was able to get off the ship for a few hours when we hit Cozumel, Mexico. This little coastal city has a lot going for it other than it being in Mexico. I found the Mexican equivalent of a Wal-Mart to get shampoo and some masking tape but was disappointed to find they only sold movies in Spanish.

In Cozumel I did a horrid thing, something unforgivable, something that will haunt me for days, maybe even weeks, I... went to McDonalds. I could not hold back, the double quarter-pounder beckoned to me. The place was water front with a view that was amazing, go figure.

It's hard, there is a large group of entertainers who are coming to a contract end, I’m going to miss a lot of them, they have been so nice to me. They seem to be the spice of life for my day. The new group of entertainers coming in seems equally filled with this liquid insanity (some of that is found in the crew bar as well).

Two more days until we hit Castaway Key again, I can’t wait to hit the beach. I’ve discovered that the best part of my job is how flexible my schedule it.

St. Thomas is this seedy little store port in the Virgin Islands where every second shop carries jewelry. I found my way through most of the stores before I ran into Edson who was phoning family and friends while in port.

It was both a relief and disconcerting to see the amount of security around the shopping zones; all the high gates with security booths on either side of them. I think of all our stops, this is one I’m impressed with the least, but it does have its charm and views.

WHAT A NIGHT!! I’ve been to some parties with huge budgets that did not even come close to last night. There is something to say for having entertainers run a party. They gave it this amazing “Rocky Horror Picture Show” theme.

I ended up going as a kid who escaped from the deck five children’s zone wearing footed Pajamas. Some of the youth counselors were kind enough to register me in the kids system for a short period so they could print me off one of the registration bracelets and the name tags that all the kids wear. For a ship with such limited resources, there were costumes of all levels. Never underestimate Disney Nuts on their one night to dress up like crazy people.

Afterwards having found a “happy place” with a few bottles of Corona, I made my way back to my room with the help of a friend. I think I’m finally starting to take enjoyment in daily life on the ship.

Thanks a ton Sal and all the other entertainers who worked their butt off to get this party up and running. Your guys all did great job.

Finally pictures! Yesterday on my way to the crew beach on castaway key, I was able to get a few snap shots of the floating juggernaut that I live on. And yes, it is as big as it looks. Along side it was the infamous “Flying Dutchman” from the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”. I don’t suppose they are using it for the new movie as that it has been parked there for quite some time, though I might be wrong. The crew beach that Disney provides us is not too shabby, it has a barbecue running much of the day, plenty of hammocks and beach chairs, a volleyball beach and everything else a person could need. I caught sight of my first sting ray while combing the shore line in search of unique shells. I’ve been told there are all kinds of odd life in the waters that surround, I might see if I can get somebody to snorkel with me next time.

It feels weird coming into winter sweating to death on a beach. Last night I finally got tired of the night after night parties. It’s like being at university again; long days and late nights. After a single drink with Liz, I went back to my cabin and went to bed.

Today was not the best days. To be honest; I think the lack of communication with friends back home is starting to get to me. Don’t get me wrong, my friends on the ship are great, but there is a closeness that can only be achieved over years. I miss George, Thump and Orwin. Work continues to push me with what would in most cases should be divided up among 3 people. I think I can handle it, but the question is how long before is wears me out.
