My First Few Days

So here I am finally at Walt Disney World!! It's been a pretty hectic 2 days if I must say, so I will start at the beginning.

We arrived at the airport at about 8 on Sunday to find a very excited group of familiar faces, and after a few teary goodbyes to the parents it was time to leave them for 3 months and start my adventure. I had already checked in online, so all I had to do was check my bags in, which was 26.6KG!!!!!!!!! But thankfully the very nice air steward told me that if I could get it down to 25 she would let it go without me having to pay the £30 fee. So after a panic I took out my denim jacket, which went in my hand luggage and my trainers went in Vicky’s.   Then after a long queue through security and a little shop it was time to board the plane..

The journey was pretty boring and standard, then 40mins ahead of schedule we arrived in Orlando. And then off to immigration we went, however me being the fake blonde moment I had left my shopping on the plane which mean having to RUN all the way back to the plane (not fun after 8 hours on a plane). Then it was time for immigration, something we had all been dreading, but it went nice and smoothly, well for most of us anyway. Then it was time to head over to Vista way, and find out where I would be living for the summer. And I'm in Patterson Court, which is the newest and maybe nicest apartment building. I am living with 5 American Girls called, Lauren, Leannedrah, Martha, Courtney (although I am yet to meet her) and my room mate is called Racheal, who even weirder is born the day after me!! She wasn’t here until yesterday, as she had to go home due to family issues. 

Sooo Monday was just a lot of paper work to fill in and a housing meeting about all the do's and don’ts, mainly telling the under 21's to not drink and tell the over 21's to not give them any alcohol. And then after all the boring stuff, pretty much all of us headed over to Downtown Disney for tea. Although it meant that we had to spill into small groups as there was too many of us for one restaurant. We decided to eat in Paradiso 37, which was amazing! I had possibly the best burrito I've ever eaten and a few cocktails to wash it down with. We also have the perfect view and were able to watch wishes from a far. 

Tuesday consisted of an immigration talk, which told us about what would happen if we broke the law in any sort of way, to cut it short it's not good and we shouldn't do it! Then the afternoon was filled with more paperwork and setting up our payroll cards. And then it was off to Publix to do a food shop, after 2.5 hours and a storm we finally made it home. 

Wednesday was Disney Traditions, which was at the Disney University....

This consisted of again more talks but was really interesting to learn more about how Disney was created, we also got to go round Magic Kingdom and go behind and under the scenes. Half way through traditions, there was a knock on the door and it was the boss himself Mickey Mouse, who had come along to give us our name badges :) we also received our I.D cards which allow us to go in the parks for FREEE!!! So it was straight to Magic Kingdom to playy. We rode, Big Thunder, Space Mountain and It's A Small World and then it was time for the parade and wishes. 

So todayyy was my first day in work and I found out where I would be working......... I am on stroller and wheel chair rentals and then a glow cart of an evening, selling light merchandise for the Illuminations show. Not what I would have hoped for, but I have to get on with it. I also got my uniform today, it's safe to say it is not attractive what so ever!!! But I don’t think any are at Disney. 

I feel like I have missed sooooo much out but it's pretty hard to remember everything as it all seems such a blur and all the days have rolled into one day haha! But I am having an amazing time, although lacking in sleep greatly, hopefully that will all change after my day off on Sunday. Anyway hope that’s enough information for you all to have for now :) and I will post again next week. I'm off to Wal-Mart now to purchase my work shoes and then out to Hooters tonight! By next week I should have done my first week in work so will let you know how it goes! 

That's all for now :)
