Nov 20, 2008 (The Arizona Daily Star - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- DIS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Arizona Pizza Company bartender Nikki Wacks wants to be a princess.

So she might be heading west.

Wacks, a 2004 Mountain View High School graduate, says she and her roommate have talked about moving to a bigger city sometime next year.

"My roommate wants to go to California, and I told her maybe somewhere around L.A. so I can work at Disneyland."

That's a lifelong dream for the former prom queen and cheerleader.

"Doesn't that sound like fun?" the petite brunette asks. "Working at the 'Happiest Place on Earth'? Little girls will see you and remember that forever."

Of course, there have been quite a few Disney princesses over the years. Which one does she want to play? Sleeping Beauty? Cinderella?

"I want to be Ariel," she says. "That would mean I couldn't walk around, because she's a mermaid. Ariel sits in a chair, and people line up to meet her."

Do you like to perform?

"I was captain of my high school cheerleading squad and I miss performing like that. I'd love to dance onstage, like being a backup dancer in a big show in Vegas or Broadway."

Why did you start bartending?

"I was going to cosmetology school and my car broke down, so I started working in the kitchen at Arizona Pizza Company. Then one day they needed somebody to cover the bar and that went so well they let me do it full time."

Did you ever fix your car?

"I just bought a new one. It's a gold 2003 Buick Century. I call it my old ladies car, because I always see old ladies driving cars like it."

What is your favorite Arizona Pizza Company pizza?

"I like the Popeye. It's made with basil, spinach, feta, garlic and tomatoes."

Do you know how to toss dough?

"No. But our cook here is amazing. You don't want anybody but Paul to toss your dough."

Is pizza your favorite food?

"I'm kind of a Mexican food junkie. I like to go to Las Margaritas and order the shredded-beef taco. I also like the sopapillas with honey and cinnamon."

Do you have any hobbies?

"I like to crochet scarves."

Do you ever crochet anything besides scarves?

"No. I can only do rectangles. I've been doing it since I was in high school. I like to give them as gifts. I think it's better to make presents than to buy them because the ones you make come from the heart."

Tell us one thing you love about Disneyland.

"Did you know they pump in smells, like the smell of popcorn to make you hungry?"
