I moved to Orlando !

[dlrp_bopazot]

I'm sorry if i haven't been around since a while but i recently moved to Orlando for a year long so i had tons of stuff to do .

But hey here i am and i'll try to take some pictures and let you know about WDW .

Here in Florida it's Humid , some isolated thunderstorms and very very hot and it's not summer yet .

This is my first working and living experience in United States and i've been to the US before but not for an entire year .

i might come to California before November ( Disneyland ) .

[katiesue]

Congratulations!

[wendybeth]

Welcome to the US! I hope you get a chance to travel around- there's a lot to do and see here.:)

[Ghoulish Delight]

Awesome! We missed you in Paris but we'll definitely catch you when you come out our way.

[BarTopDancer]

Oh awesome!

[Morrigoon]

bienvenue aux etats-unis

[Matterhorn Fan]

It's scary to say this, but you'll get used to the humidity here. Seriously.

[lashbear]

bienvenue aux e-tatts-unis

Welcome to the United E-Tattoos ?

:p

[Mrs. Nesbitt]

Welcome to the U.S. and looking forward to seeing you in October at WDW and when you come out to DL.

[dlrp_bopazot]

thank you guys .

as i said i usually love Orlando but i've never been here during summer and it seems to be very humid .

yep i'll get use to it . I'm already OK with the Humidity but not with the hurricanes .

Merci Beaucoup a Tous and a tres bientot .

[wendybeth]

It's scary to say this, but you'll get used to the humidity here. Seriously.

I lived in Panama City for a year and never got used to it. To this day, I hate humidity. Ask anyone who'd ever heard me bitch about the (relatively low) humidity in LA and Anaheim. We have minimal humidity up here in Eastern Washington, and I like it that way.:cheers:

[Snowflake]

Welcome! Hope to meet you at DL sometime!

I hate humidity, I never got used to it after 7 years in VA. Thank God for AC.

[€uroMeinke]

Welcome - I hope this means we get to see you again - on one coast or the other

[blueerica]

Congrats on the move! How exciting!

[RStar]

Cool! Congrats and welcome to your US Stay!

I hope to meet you at DL!

~Bob

[Alex]

[Not Afraid]

[Tref]

O-o-o-o-orlando, Home of the Family Auto Mart!

[wolfy999]

So glad your dream came to true to work at WDW.....see ya in October!

[dlrp_bopazot]

for those of you who come to Walt Disney World let me know send me a PM and we can arrange a meet up or drink something fresh somewhere with the AC .

and yes Wolfy see your in October . I have no Plans yet so i might come to California before the Xmas Crowds .

[blueerica]

!!! Whenever you do come out, let me know - I have two passes to use this year, and I'd like to go one more time before I move.... It would be nice to tie it in so I can meet some LoTers that I haven't had the chance to meet before....

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Welcome to the USA!

Is this some sort of Disney exchange program? Or did you just apply at WDW and get a different job? Hmm, I wonder if they get many French-speaking tourists at WDW...

[Not Afraid]

WDW has an exchange program for EPCOT. Many of the CMs in the World Showcase are from the country showcased.

[innerSpaceman]

World Showcase exchange CMs are the best! Is that your gig???

[blueerica]

Yes, that's completely and totally awesome if you're there for the World Showcase. That had to be my favorite part of Epcot, hands down.

[dlrp_bopazot]

yes i'm a part of the Internationnal '' Exchange'' Program at WDW .

Right now since last year French or any other international people can work at different places at WDW even outside the World Showcase and Guest Relations .

It's Called the Internationnal College Program like today i met some girls they just arrived in Orlando and they're going to work at Tower Of Terror at DMGM .

you know i much i would pay to work on that ride here at WDW . The True and Original TOT .

[Cadaverous Pallor]

GD and I are still WDW virgins (one day, we'll get there) so can I ask - what exactly do you do there? I have no idea what working World Showcase would involve. Do you wear a beret and show people how to make crepes? ;)

[blueerica]

Well, duh CP... isn't that what all French people do? ;)

[€uroMeinke]

I just wonder what it's like to be authentic French and work in Faux-France - and if (after the Summer progresses) you trade places with other world showcase CMs and try to pass yourself off as something else, Like Moroccan, or Welsh.

[wendybeth]

Well, duh CP... isn't that what all French people do? ;)
Aren't they supposed to be verbally abusive waitpersons?;)

(Kidding, DLRP- I'm French and French Canadian, and I was a very kind if not somewhat clumsy waitress).

[dlrp_bopazot]

i actually work at the French Attraction but i had also the choice to work in merchendise but i didn't like it in france so i've chosen Attraction .

The Bakery and Chefs de France are not Manage by Disney like Alfredo and you know i respect those CMs the work there but i don't like food and beverage i've also worked at Food and Beverage for 5 months at Disneyland Paris so i know what i'm talking about .

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Again, my lack of WDW knowledge is stunning - what is "the French Attraction"?

[Prudence]

I'm guessing it's the film?

[dlrp_bopazot]

yes actually The France Attraction is a 18 Minutes Movie Featuring awesome French Countryside and Paris .

It's not the best movie or ride at Epcot but it's still nice to see it once at least .

[lashbear]

They sing in French in the Canadian film, does that count ? :D

(sadly, we missed France, although we got movie footage of the buildings)

[surfinmuse]

dlrp_bopazot, welcome to the US!

I love that 18-minute movie, especially the music... it plays like a who's-who in French music: some Debussy, Saint-Saens, etc. I thoroughly enjoy World Showcase, as tacky as SOME of it is. On further thought, I have to say Epcot is my favorite of all WDW parks.

ps. hi again everyone! I'm back in LA after a long hiatus, for those of you who remember my occasional stop-in's here. I wish I had a visual record of "# new [posts" when I first logged on yesterday.. I think it was in he 5- or 6-figure range...

[Matterhorn Fan]

Again, my lack of WDW knowledge is stunning - what is "the French Attraction"?You need to come out here.

They sing in French in the Canadian film, does that count ? :D
(sadly, we missed France, although we got movie footage of the buildings)And you need to come back here. What else did you miss?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

You need to come out here.Yeah, some day we'll find out what the hell everyone is talking about.

[blueerica]

Lash, now that MatterhornFan pointed it out - you went to Epcot, went to the Canadian exhibit and somehow missed the French? I'm perplexed!

[figment1986]

It's scary to say this, but you'll get used to the humidity here. Seriously.

im a native and not used to the humidity yet... (20 years so far)

yes actually The France Attraction is a 18 Minutes Movie Featuring awesome French Countryside and Paris .

It's not the best movie or ride at Epcot but it's still nice to see it once at least .

its great if you need a nap for 15 minutes, i think i got some great REM sleep the last time.

At least you can spice up the intro and outro if you wish.

[lashbear]

Lash, now that MatterhornFan pointed it out - you went to Epcot, went to the Canadian exhibit and somehow missed the French? I'm perplexed!

We went round World Showcase a few times, but called not into all of the pavilions. We did stand watching the japanese lady make candy sculptures for ages ! I have video of her making a scorpion. :cool:

[Matterhorn Fan]

You have to come back. They redid El Rio del Tiempo!!

[Morrigoon]

I don't know... unless they kept the "La lala la la..." I'm not sure I want to bother

[Matterhorn Fan]

You'll have to listen to the old song on your iPod these days (or just think about it for a few seconds and have it in your head for weeks), but they did a really good job. It's super cute. And really, who could dislike a Donald Duck attraction?

[Morrigoon]

WHOA okay, I'm interested again!

[Matterhorn Fan]

Ah, the power of Donald Duck.

[figment1986]

I don't know... unless they kept the "La lala la la..." I'm not sure I want to bother

its in there, just subliminally... i should know i herd it only 10 times, and i still hear it when i ride the updated one...

You'll have to listen to the old song on your iPod these days (or just think about it for a few seconds and have it in your head for weeks), but they did a really good job. It's super cute. And really, who could dislike a Donald Duck attraction?

if only it had a Donald Animatronic... and jose and whatever the 3rd one was.. lol and had the song playing loudly rather than subliminally..

(I know i hear that song... oh wait, maybe i had my ipod on at the time...)

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I don't know... unless they kept the "La lala la la..." I'm not sure I want to botherOf course I have no clue what you're referring to, but I now have "Animagique" in my head.

La la la-la-la-la
Animagique, Animagique....

Yeah, it'll be a while before I can think of anything other than that.

[Matterhorn Fan]

if only it had a Donald Animatronic... and jose and whatever the 3rd one was.. Panchito.

And there's a Donald pinata in there.

And oh, yeah, dlrp_bopazot is working over in France. That movie gives me a headache--but that's all me, not the movie. (The one in Canada makes me dizzy.)

[Stan4dSteph]

I really like the music that goes with the France movie. :)

[Morrigoon]

I hope Louis is working during the day so he can enjoy his first American 4th of July properly!

[€uroMeinke]

I'd like to hear a Bastille Day report myself

[Morrigoon]

I doubt WDW will do much for Bastille Day, do you think?

[dlrp_bopazot]

they did some little things at the France Pavillion .
