On March 25th I had to work a 12 hour shift from 2:30 to 2:30. The night before I hadn't slept for more than four hours and I wasn't really up for doing a whole lot of work. Just my luck, the park had supposedly reached capacity and I was assigned to clean the worst restroom in the universe- City Hall.
City Hall is already extremely hard to look after on a normal day. It's the biggest restroom on Main Street (and the second biggest in the park), people are constantly going in and out, and there are always problems. I spent the entire day counting down the minutes until I could have a break. On the bright side, I had someone assist me with the restroom for most of the day, but she only did the easier part of the restroom. I had to deal with all of the crazy people and the disgusting things that they do.
One of the toilets overflowed and I had to close the stall so I locked the door and put an "out of order" sign on it. At least three times children AND adults climbed underneath the stall door and used it. I seriously don't understand what goes through guests' minds. And it seemed like whenever I would replace a roll of toilet paper, it would be gone ten minutes later. One of the paper towel dispensers wouldn't open so I had a manager look at it and she jokingly said, "It's full so you shouldn't have to replace it for at least five minutes." That's how crazy it was.
Somehow I managed to get through the day even though I was extremely fatigued and sick. I pre-closed the restroom around 12:00, took a fifteen minute break, and closed the restroom at 1:00 with help from a coworker. I got off at 1:30, got a ride home from work and after I took a shower, I immediately crawled into bed and slept until 2:30 the next day.
A cast member said once that we should get "I survived spring break at Disney" shirts and I kind of think he's right. It's absolutely ridiculous here and I'm happy there's only about two or three weeks left of this!
