Training

So today we met at Disney University (yes there is a such thing) to go over some more basic training. We did a lot computer work and then the rest of the day had some cash register training. the day was pretty easy---the cash registers are easy and straight forward.

tomorrow i have one on one training and i think that i will actually be doing sales transactions and helping guests. I am a little worried because people ask so many questions and i just dont know that answer to everything yet--or where everything is. Oh well--i'll learn sometime.

I have wednesday and thursday off, so tomorrow is my "friday".


My roommate and another girl who lives in our apartment complex all went to magic kingdom last friday night for a little bit. We rode splash mountain and got soaked! I posted some pictures from that night!

Work Locations and Pictures

Hey Guys-

So i had my first day of training yesterday and had park orientation today. I learned alot already in my first two days of work but still have so much to learn. Yesterday i got my costumes and also found out where I will be. Since i am working on main street in magic kingdom is represents turn of the century when walt grew up in missouri, so our outfits reflect that.


The stores that I will be working in will be:
Chapeau Hat Shop- sell hats and make custom made hats
Firehouse Gifts- have shirts and hats for firefighters and all that
Confectionery- CANDY STORE, so much candy and fun treats
Gallery- have fine art and paintings
Exposition Hall- sell a little bit of everything, focusing on cameras, picture frames, ect.

I have posted some pictures of main street where i will be working and also the costumes i wear.


ALSO POSTED PICTURES OF MY APARTMENT

I'M HERE I'M HERE!!

Hello All-

Sorry that i have not written in awhile--its been a busy 3 days to say the least! Ill try to capture everything and even add pictures.


MOVE IN DAY/CHECK IN DAY:
Check in day wasnt that bad at all! Everything was pretty easy and everyone was so nice. We filled out a lot of paper work, got my car registered, and did more paper work. We picked our apartments and myself and Allie (my roommate) got a 3 bedroom apartment (so 6 total people). All the other girls are real cool and outgoing so it worked out well. We all have our own bathroom so that is wonderful! Everything else is pretty nice, i mean as nice as it can be for student living. The beds on the other hand....pretty yucky but that is what a bed topper is for!



WORK LOCATION:
So i know an area of where I am working but i will know more tomorrow of the exact shops and everything. All i know for now is that am working in magic kingdom on main street!! So look up main street....it is so cool and looks like a little town with all these shops and fun stores. It is suppose to be modeled off Walt Disney's home town in Missouri. The good thing about magic kingdom is that it is the main park and is very busy and where i work is right where everyone first walks in so that is pretty cool. The bad part is that magic kingdom has "extra hours" some nights and is open till 3 am!! Which means I could be working till around 4am some nights!


Ill try to add more pictures when i have time.....we got our disney id today so we can start going to the parks for free!!!

IN ORLANDO

So we are here!!! We stayed in Gainesville last night and got up this morning and toured around the campus! It was so pretty there!

It is only a 2 hour drive from there to Orlando we got in around 11 this morning. We went and found our hotel and where i check in tomorrow and then decided to go to downtown disney. Downtown disney is a boardwalk type place that has shopping, a movie theater, tons of dinning and a few little interactive shows. Its free and anyone can go at any time. We ate at planet hollywood for lunch and then spend the rest of the day going to all the shops. They have some amazing stores and tons of things to do. It was raining for the first couple of hours that we were there but then it got sunny.

After going to downtown disney we ran to the grocery store and got some items and then did some more exploring around the parks and orlando. We both took a nap in the hotel and then grabbed dinner down the street.

I am really excited but nervous to check in tomorrow...i still feel like i am just on a vacation!

I have added some pictures from planet hollywood and the lego store in downtown disney!

Traveling....Day 2

So after talking with lots of people and finding out that Orlando is a far drive and it would take us 2 full days to get there we left yesterday (Sunday) after dads golf tournament. We got all the way to paducah ky last night!

This morning we left just at 7 am and as of right now we are in Georgia. I had to drive through the smoky mountains in Tennessee and we ran into major traffic right outside of Chattanooga and finally got through after 45 minutes!!

Not sure were we are going to make it to tonight-- somewhere in Florida if traffic stays calm, Maybe even Orlando if we make up time.


I attached a picture of the mountains!

Packing

So I have started packing and I didn't know I could have this much stuff! I thought for sure it was all going to fit but now I'm not so sure.

We have decided to leave on Sunday now to give us plenty of time to get to Orlando!


I'll try to take pictures and blog on the way and once I get down there but I heard that the Internet is very slow so it could be awhile before an update!
