My First Weekend in Wonderland

Friday, May 23
       I got up and went to Epcot with Macy, Julissa, Sherry & Alex. We went on a few rides and were then joined by our neighbors Santana & Vinny. It was Sherry's, Alex's, Santana's, & Vinny's first time at a Disney Park so we got them "First Visit" buttons which was very exciting. We got go on some rides and see the Dolphin show which is my favorite thing in all of Epcot! We also got to meet some characters, including the boss!

       Alejandra, Levi, Ari, Anthony and Travis all came and met up with us after they had their first day of training. That's when we started traveling around the world showcase :)

       Zach met up with us after his 8 hour day of training at Norway. We then walked the rest of the World Showcase and went on Soarin which is Zach's favorite :) We also got to meet Aladdin & Jasmine right before they closed the line!

       I had my first day of training, "Welcome to Operations" at Disney University. It was only 4 hours but it was early so I had trouble staying awake. We learned about the daily operations of Disney, and how to be the best cast member possible. We learned how to deal with difficult situations, emergencies, and how to create magical moments and memories. I had to excuse myself a few times to wake myself up. During our break I was able to buy a diet coke and I was set after that. I also learned that I had to set up my work account on the Hub on my own @ Vista.

       I did this when I got home and found the rest of my schedule for this coming week. I am training Tuesday-Friday 8.5 hours a day at Disney University. Good thing I brought a lot of professional clothes. I am going to need them, seeing as I won't be getting my costume until I go to the Boardwalk training.

       As a concierge I will be training at Disney University for a while to work the front desk, which I will do for a while until I go back to Disney University for more training to become a concierge. So if anyone is doing this role: bring a lot of professional wear.

       Zach & I went to Animal Kingdom. It was my first time since I went when the park first opened. It was fun, but not really my cup of tea. It was also extremely hot, so maybe I wasn't in the best frame of mind. I am definitely going to go back again to explore some more.
