First Impressions Day 3 and 4 and First day at POP!

So on Friday and Saturday I had my final two days of training at Disney university. On day 3 we did more practice check ins and learned how to do other procedures like cashing a personal check, changing rooms, exchanging foreign currency, etc.

On Saturday we practiced more in the lab and then learned how to do checkouts. The cafeteria was closed at Disney University because it was Sat, so we went over to the Magic Kingdom to eat. I had packed my lunch and I wanted a Dole Whip, so I headed up to adventureland and bought myself one!

On Sunday I had my first on the job training at Pop Century. I had to be there at 5:45am! Thank goodness I had my own car or else I would have to call and arrange for the bus to pick me up, because they don't even run that early. I met my trainer who's name is Catherine. She will train me for 4 days and then I will have someone else. We did some checkouts first thing in the morning. Later I got to do check ins by myself with just her watching in the background. She showed me where they keep everything in the front office and how to get my drawer at the beginning of my shift. She said I did really well and she didn't really need to go over too many things with me.

They give us 2 of the refillable mugs to use in the back, so we don't waste paper cups. They also have free coffee, tea and hot cocoa for us when we are on break. Everyone seems really nice and I am excited to work there!

I have off for Monday and Tuesday, so this morning I went to my Human Resource Management class. Tonight my roommates are having a karaoke/guitar hero party. Tomorrow most of my roommates and I have off so we are going to try to go to Typhoon Lagoon. The weather is supposed to be in the upper 70's so I am hoping it will be warm enough.

New Job

So after sitting around in my apartment all week without working someone from employee relations called me to talk about my medical accommodations. She told me that they had approved the revisions and that they were trying to find a new role for me. She said that there was an opening for a front desk position, so we talked about the requirements for that.

Well today was Saturday and I hadn't heard anything so I tried to call someone who could tell me what was going on. I was kind of mad because I did everything I was supposed to do and Disney was the ones who messed up.

Today someone called me from the Training Team to tell me that my role has been changed from Merchandise to Front Desk/Cashier at Pop Century! So on Tuesday I have like an orientation at the resort and on Wed, Thurs, and Fri is my Lasting Impressions class at the Disney University.

I'm glad that they finally got everything straightened out but now I'm nervous that I won't get the days off I wanted for when BJ is coming to visit. I asked the person on the phone and they said to resubmit them and put a note on it that says you are resubmitting them because your work location changed.

Yesterday Amy, Elizabeth, Brittany, Ren, Nicole and I went to the Magic Kingdom at night. It had poured all day so the park was basically empty. Britt and Amy forgot their ID cards so they had to go back to the apartment. They were going to meet up with us but Brittany never found hers so they didn't. Elizabeth, Nicole, Ren and I went on all the rides in Fantasyland, the park was empty, we walked right on Dumbo. We rode Goofy's Barnstormer twice! and got to go in Mickey and Minnie's houses while they were completely empty, so we got to look at everything. On the way out we watched Spectromagic at 11 and then headed back to the apartment.

I don't know if people want to do stuff after they get back from work tonight. Since it is presidents day weekend the Magic Kingdom is open until midnight tonight.

Vacation (Part 3)

Sunday was our last day, as I was moving into my apartment on Monday Morning. We started the morning at Hollywood Studios so we could see MuppetVision 3D and ride Rockin Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror and Toy Story Mania Again. This time BJ won. We got to meet Woody and Buzz too.




Then we wanted to eat lunch at Wolfgang Puck Express again! Afterwards we went to the hotel to pack up our stuff before heading over to Fort Wilderness to go to the Hoop-dee-do-Revue.



Then it was over to the Magic Kingdom for extra magic hours. We headed for the Jungle Cruise, and Pirates, then Big thunder Mountain. We wanted to go on Space Mountain but it wasn't running! thats when I remembered that once while we were on the transt authority we went through space mountain and the lights were on. We ran to get on and sure enough the lights were on!





After we went on Its a small world and Dumbo. Then we got to meet Chip and Dale


After we went on Buzz Lightyear and then finally on Space mountain. Then we headed back to the hotel and loaded up the car. The Next day was my Check in day for the College Program!
