I'm Katy. I did a CP Spring 2011 in Main Entrance Ops at Epcot and then extended into Photopass at MK. That's where I'm currently a seasonal CM. Things I like: Mary Poppins, Mary Blair, the Sherman Brothers, it's a small world, Pixar, Merlin, Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Tours, the Muppets, Phineas and Ferb, pretty pictures.
My blog is my personal opinion.

These small distinctions can often act as touchstones for larger cultural differences.
