Visting the Parks...well basically just Magic Kingdom

So I have had a few days off this past week which has been really nice!!! On Thursday we went to Magic Kingdom.  It was absolutely amazing! We met a really nice group of guys, Nick, Cristian, Titus, and Kevin.   We ended up spending the entire day with them at the park and we all had a lot of fun.  It was Nick's first time, so we got to show him basically everything! His excitement only fueled my excitement to show him the place I love so much! We basically rode everything. Even rides I had never been on! Which is crazy to even think about.  We ended the night sitting right in front of the castle watching Wishes, the fireworks show.  It was so much fun.  We laughed, I cried, we made memories! It was a great day! We even met Buzz Lightyear! 

Wishes was absolutely beautiful! I already know the song, and I can kind of direct the fireworks for when they will shoot off :)

On Friday, I had my resort orientation.  I got a tour of where I'll be working, and met some other people I'll be working with! It was really sweet! I finally got my costume! It is not as bad as some others.... I am just fine with it. haha Friday night, Jamie wanted to go to Downtown Disney because she had never been, so we decided to go, and the boys came too! They hadn't been in a long time.  We had a blast just walking around. Looking at all the stores, again. We just enjoyed each others company. It was great! 

On Saturday, I had a day off.  Me and Danielle decided to go to Epcot. We were going to see Sawyer, and watch her show that she is in, but when we got there she was training somewhere else.  Danielle had never been, so I got to show her everything! It was fun! We went on Mission Space and Test Track.  We were running out of time because we were meeting the boys and Jamie and Charleen at Magic Kingdom for wishes, so we walked the World Showcase and left.  That night we met up with everyone for Wishes, and the park was open till midnight so we watched wishes and then rode on a few rides. It was a great saturday night!

Sunday was nice. I had work at 8:30, but I was done by 12:30.  We went to walmart to get more groceries... I hate being an adult. It's to expensive! We just hung out together.  I got to hangout with my Uncle Rob and his family.  He is here for a conference. So I went to there condo and met there baby Cory, and watched the superbowl with them. It was great! I was happy to see some family.  I was starting to get a little homesick... They have the cutest baby girl! I fell in love with her!

Everything has been going great! I have been having the greatest time! Miss you all! Love to you all!

Peace and Blessings. Peace and Blessings.

Training...

So sorry I haven't updated since last Saturday.  It has been very crazy around here!

I have had training for the last 4 days.  From 8:30 am until 5 pm.  It was very intense.... I have met a lot of great people! Today I finally have a day off! I slept in! and now I'm going to get ready and head to Magic Kingdom with a couple of my roommates and another friend!

A couple nights ago we had a welcome event.  It was called "You've Got a Friend in Me." It was so much fun! All the college program newbies got to meet one another. It was free food, dancing, a DJ, Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye were there! It was a lot of fun! After the party ended we decided to go to Downtown Disney.  We just walked around Pleasure Island, and listened to all the music and danced.  We got ice cream :) It was a fun night. 

Last night 3 of us went to Buffalo Wild Wings.  It was SO  much fun!  They had karaoke and an outside dance floor! We didn't get there till about 11:45, and left around 1:15. It was a blast because all the college program kids go on Wednesdays.  Everyone just had a lot of fun dancing and watching other people sing.

Today is my first day off. I am soo happy. These last four days have been quite intense.  I have been so tired. I wake up at 6:30am everyday to make the bus in time to be at Disney University on time.  I finally finished my first part of training. Now I will go to my resort and start my on the job training. Once I complete that, I will have a final check, which I have to have a perfect check-in, and then I go back to Disney University.  I then take the concierge classes for two days, and then return to my resort and train on the job for concierge. Hopefully by the end of February I will be working concierge for the rest of my program.  It is so much information that I have to know! Very intimidating at times! The fun thing though, is our computer system is called Lilo, from Lilo and Stich :)

All in all, my experience so far has been amazing. I have met some awesome people! I love where I am and I love what I am doing.  Missing everyone back home, but I know I did the right thing.  This is the company I WILL work for once I am graduated from school.  I love you all and thank you for taking the time to read my blog!

Peace and Blessings. Peace and Blessings.
