Training

It has been nearly 20 days since my last post and it has been a very busy 20 days! I will try to condense as much as possible. So basically, I have been 'earning my ears', which is what Disney call training. It's safe to say it's pretty standard training but with Disney words to go with it. The training is geared around 4 keys, which are: Safety, Courtesy, Show and Efficiency, and it all leads back to giving legendary customer service and making sure that we as cast members are always performing in the show. Disney presents itself as a show using terms such as on-stage and off-stage, we have costumes instead of uniforms, customers are our guests and we as the staff are cast members. Training takes place in the Disney University and actually at work. So in my last place, I said that I was working in strollers and it turns out its not as bad as I originally thought, as I get to work in up to 6 different locations, with 4 of them being a shop (which is second nature to me). After a week of training, it was time to take my assessment to see if I had 'earn’t my ears' and I passed with 92%, which is possibly the highest grade I have ever achieved :) 

This then meant I had 2 more days of core training, which was yesterday and today and then I'm officially on my own. Hopefully I will remember everything, as there seems to be a lot of receipts for everything for some silly reason and some need to be stapled to others and put into certain slots, far too complicated for my liking, but I'm sure I'll get my head round it soon enough. And I now have my official sexy uniform, which I'm sure your all dying to see, so here it is ................


Amongst all the training I have had 2 days off, yes-just 2!!! In which I spent one in my favourite place, Animal Kingdom. I had a fab day, with some great people. We got very wet on the rapids and rode Everest 3 times!! Also met my fave, Pooh and Tigger robbed my hat!! 
It is safe to say I am literally having the best time ever, despite the long hours and late night shifts, I am so glad that I decided to come and work in the 'Happiest Place on Earth'. Right I need to go and my washing will be ready and I can't shower until it's finshed as I have ran out of knickers :s 


I will try and post again sooner. Hope your all not missing me too much :)
