About Me

I’m Caitlin, and I’m finally coming through the other side of my quarter-life crisis. I live in Florida with my spoiled little cats, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock IV and Astrid Cagney Hofferson. I had the privilege of working at the Great Movie Ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios for four years and was part of the closing team, so you might have seen me as a tour guide, Mugsi Toccata, or Kate Durango. I’m now currently a guide at Kilimanjaro Safaris. When I’m not driving around in circles pointing at four different kinds of antelopes, I’m often found performing in local theatrical productions. or spending time with my giant boyfriend. Favorite things include the smell of dryer sheets, marathons of canceled TV shows, and rainy days (as long as I’m indoors at home).

His sobs woke Wendy, and she sat up in bed. She was not alarmed to see a stranger crying on the nursery floor; she was only pleasantly interested. “Boy,” she said courteously, “why are you crying?” Peter could be exceeding polite also, having learned the grand manner at fairy ceremonies, and he rose and bowed to her beautifully. She was much pleased, and bowed beautifully to him from the bed. “What's your name?” he asked. “Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” she replied with some satisfaction. “What is your name?” “Peter Pan.” She was already sure that he must be Peter, but it did seem a comparatively short name. “Is that all?” “Yes,” he said rather sharply. He felt for the first time that it was a shortish name. “I'm so sorry,” said Wendy Moira Angela. (happy 66th storyversary, Peter Pan) #peterpan #wendydarling #wendydarlingcosplay #mickeysnotsoscaryhalloweenparty #mnsshp2018

That moment when you’re spring cleaning and you realize that maybe, just maybe, it’s time to let some of your lip products go on to the great Sephora in the sky. #hoarder

Look out for socks and wild children!! #2319

From Magic Kingdom to Animal Kingdom to rehearsal...I’ll sleep later I guess!

Y’all. I did it. I completed the #100abchallenge. I don’t think I’ve ever successfully completed a fitness challenge before, so this feels like a pretty big deal. I made the stereotypical “lose weight” resolution, but I’m trying to focus more on being healthier and managing my autoimmune crap and getting back to being super flexible. I’m using my second Instagram as kind of journal for all my health and fitness stuff, but this was a big enough deal that I wanted to share it here.

I was going to take a cute selfie to celebrate my one year Yes anniversary, but I worked five programs last week, kept forgetting to take pictures, and it poured buckets on my last one so here’s this photo from training last year instead I suppose.

My facial expression was hellacious, but I’m working really hard, y’all. #elderlycheerleader #68poundstogo

Current mood (also I need to catch up on The Good Place)

I’m a bad candidate for the “see how much you’ve aged” meme.

I ride this like ten times a day, but sometimes it’s nice to just ride, especially when all your favorites are out and you win Antelope Bingo™️ #thelittlestsimbaone (thanks @madlynm for a great safari!!)

I know this is a silly internet fad, but Jane Wyman played uncredited chorus girls for five years before she got a named and credited role, and worked another eleven years after that until she won her Oscar. That’s the kind of thing I need to hear today.

A lot of people make the resolution to say yes more often; I need to make the resolution to say no. 2018 decided to throw me a curveball and I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder that isn’t exactly responding that well to treatment. 2018 was a year of lab work, medication adjustments, and lifestyle changes while I tried to keep up with my usual pace. I worked on seven shows this year (including my Fringe debut and directing my first show in Orlando!) but I have had no energy for anything else in my life. And that’s not okay. Next year will be all about tackling this new approach to life, slowing down and not doing three shows at once (again), and actually spending time with my boyfriend and the friends I haven’t seen in ages unless we’re at the same rehearsal. Here’s hoping for a happy and healthy 2019!

“Khaki isn’t a color, it’s an attitude.” Also the pink bubble at the top is definitely all the pink I wore for Charley’s Aunt and Drood this year. #yearincolor #yearincolor2018

Honestly pretty surprised by this. Mostly work, no shows, and an old cosplay. This...does not seem like how my year went at all. #topnine2018

Alexa, play “Africa” by Toto. #thelittlestsimbaone

Tonight was the last performance of It’s a Wonderful Life, my first show as a director in five years, and it was completely sold out. I had a great cast and a great team with me, and my heart is happy. #moonlightplayers #itsawonderfullife
