More Training

It is becoming very interesting to me how many training courses we have to take online. I mean it makes sense since 65,000 people work at the Walt Disney World Resort and there is no way to teach everything everyone needs to know in classes. This is why we take online little courses. The online courses can be kind of boring, but it is very useful information and the courses you take are specific to your line of work. I just thought I would mention that so that you all can see how the Walt Disney Company does everything they do!



Today, we applied all we learned in the cash register simulation yesterday. We rang up actual customers and did the last of our training in Adventureland. Tomorrow we do more of the same, but on the pirates side of things.

The thing that is so interesting about the Walt Disney World guest is that they are relaxed because they are on vacation. I started talking to some guests today and they would have just stood there talking to me if i had not ended the conversation. When I worked at Bath and Body Works most customers wanted nothing to do with us. That is why we call them guests because they are guests in our home and our park. I really like that we use the term guest because it allows us to enjoy their company and not sell sell sell (as I had to at bath and body).


I am excited to really start working. Training today was from 10:30-7:00 and it was a long day! My other shifts, at least at this point, are not as long. The thing that is tricky is that I have to get on the bus an hour and a half before work and I don't get home until anywhere between 30-60 minutes after my shift ends. So even though my shift may not be that long, it still takes up my entire day. It kind of cuts down on the social life! I can't wait for Thursday and Friday when I have time off!


I am getting really excite for halloween and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! I have heard it is amazing! It is good to have something to look forward to that isn't work!


I am hoping to post some pictures tonight. Our internet is really inconsistent!I haven't taken very many yet because it has been mostly training.....but it is just the beginning!
