My 7 Month Vacation as a WDW Intern: MINI UPDATE 12/10

[iluv2go2disney]

Sounds like you had a good day. Hope the hot tub gets fixed soon. There's nothing I hate worse than a strong smell of chlorine.

Your report is so interesting. I love finding out what goes on behind the scenes. Looking forward to reading more.

Wow- working at Disney and a hot tub at the end of the day- sounds amazing!

 

[moparop]

UGH!!! I cannot believe they haven't fixed the ID thing yet. How cool to be able to do al lthat inside stuff. I wanna go work at Disney now!

 

[Disneymusicgirl]

Glad you liked cirque, and jealous that you got to go! I keep trying to convince the rents to give it a try each trip, but no luck so far.

Your first day sounds great! I really hope I get to do a CP or PI before I'm done with college, your Disney work days sound so cool!

I hope you get your ID issues worked out...that's so annoying!

Sounds like you've been having a great time! Keep the updates coming!

 

[mistydoodles]

I hope your id gets worked out soon. That just really stinks.

It sounds like you had a pretty good first day. Thank you so much for sharing. I also really enjoyed your pictures. It does make it seem more real, it is like we are right there with you.

Sounds like a long but good day.

Great that you got to stay in the park and go on some rides.

Good luck with that ID.

Megan, it all sounds and looks so wonderful! I hope the id issues get sorted out soon and you can enjoy the rest of your training. I am looking forward to the photos.

HI DIS!!!!!

As you can see I am posting kind of late. There are two reasons for that. #1, I seem to magically have a life when I'm in FL and I'm always busy doing whatever and #2..well..stay tuned!!



Today was my first day of DAK training. We had our walk-thru today. The tour was 4 hours long and bc we had to be in professional attire they asked we didn't wear tennis shoes..but I did. We were told to wear them on our MK tour in Jan so I figured oh well, plus I'll be more comfty. We took a whole tour of the on stage areas in DAK so if you were at DAK today you prolly saw our group of 20 somethings all dressed up doing circles around the park. It seemed that EVERYTHING had a story too it which made the tour 10x longer and I won't remember a thing..oh it was super hot too with no rain today which kept it extra hot!!

We did get to see Festival of the Lion King and the Pochahontus ( it totally butchered that one lol) shows. We then had lunch from 12-1 at the cafe backstage. There were huge lines so I just had a turkey club and ya that was about it. We met 2 of our trainers who directed us toward costuming which is inbetween 192 and DAK. We all had to drive there and we found out once we were done we were free to go!!!! I ran in, tried on one set (which was all too big!) got the right sizes and was the first to check out. During lunch though, I called Access Control and they confirmed that all my info was in and I could get my ID...which was the push behind me getting out of costuming quickly.

I headed to MK backstage AGAIN. I went in and got my number to wait and was called 10 mins later. I was able to get my ID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



So of course the first thing I did was repark in cast parking and took my normal route to go see all my BBB friends. I attempted to open my locker to find my lost lunch bag but someone new had it and the lock has been changed

I went to BBB and ended up picking up a 6 hour shift for on Wed. It's from 2-8 but I have a feeling it won't be the same BBB as I left it seeing as most of the CPs have left. I will still enjoy making princess dreams come true, getting the tips, and having extra spending money to pay rent, eat, or pay off my credit card. I'll end up having 51 hours minus breaks and if I clock out early.

After BBB I met Meg and Jenny at MK parking lot and we got to go to the park as "real" guests for the very first time!!! Of course I had forgotten my camera...which NEVER happens

We did take some pics throughout the day so when they FB them I'll steal them!!!

We ate at Caseys for supper and had dole whips as well!! We were there from about 5ish? to 11:30. We rode Splash, HM, PP..w/a FP, Small world, people mover, COP, and laugh floor. We could have done more but were up since 6am. We were able to watch wishes and spectro. Tink did not fly tonight bc of approaching storms that never really happened. Sometimes dreams do come true!!!!!


Well, I'm off to bed. I had grand plans of getting up for open at Epcot to ride soarin but ya that won't happen so I might attempt the hot tub again tonight and then go to bed....


SWEET DREAMS!

[pl'smama]

I am glad you had such a great day Megan! I just love TFOTLK.

How is it that you can get extra hours at the BBB? I am happy for you that you can, but doesn't the fact that you did one it on CP make a difference?

Have a great rest of the week!
