HI!!!!!!! So checkin went fairly well on Monday.... Minus the few issues at casting, but let's not get into that :)
I arrived around 7 am and met my friend Chloe, who I am currently living with! We got a 1 bedroom apartment in Chatham, it's so nice! After filling out all the housing info we got on the bus to casting! We all waited in line to get a sticker that had our work location. Sadly I didn't have a sticker because something got messed up in the system (I was sorta freaking out that I didn't have a job lol) So I didn't get to go through casting with all my new friends, but it's ok. So finally once they found me in the system they told me I was going to be working in Hollywood Studios - Icon Attractions! Now for those of you who don't know what the Icon Attractions are you can be placed in any of the following places: Great Movie Ride (which is what I was hoping for), American Idol attraction, Muppets 3D, Indiana Jones Stunt Show, or Jedi Training Academy, and Star Tours when it re-opens. So, once I was told that I starting crying because I was so happy to have my request granted! Then we went to go fill out more stuff like background check info and all that cool stuff... One fun part was getting to meet a trainer and find out when my training is! It said I have my park training Saturday. They guy also said call the number on the page if I cant wait until Saturday to find out my location and what shoes I may need to buy... I finally finished casting around 12:30....
After that I met my roomie back at the apartment, I called the number to find out my location.... I was told I will be giving tours on the GREAT MOVIE RIDE! I screamed after I hung up the phone because I was so excited to be able to live my dream! And then I cried, tears of joy of course :)
Yesterday was Traditions! Such a fun class! It was about 4.5 hours of learning Disney history and learning about the company. We also all got a special tour of the Magic Kingdom! Very cool, I must say!
After class we got our nametags! Which Mickey brought us as a present! Best present I've gotten in a while, haha...
Today since Chloe and I had off so we went shopping for our training outfits and work shoes. We also went to the special cast member stores and got some groceries. Now I'm super tired and wanna go to bed, got lots more unpacking to do tomorrow!
See you at the movies everyone!!!!!!
