One week in

Well I am now an official employee of Walt Disney World

Which is mainly the reason it has taken me so long to write up another blog (that and I've been working on my tan)...
I cannot believe it has been a week already!! It has flown by, but at the same time it feels like we have been here so long. Everyone is getting on great, it's like a lovely little family :) I really do feel special to have met such lovely people. Today we get newbies which is exciting! They won't be in any of our apartments because we are now full, but hopefully there will be some coming to Vista Way.

Work wise, as I said last time I am working at Downtown Disney, a really buzzing little place (not really little, it's the same size as Magic Kingdom, more about that later), and will be working in a shop called World of Disney, the biggest Disney shop in the world with 20,000 people passing through the door each day, so I don't think I'll be getting too bored!! So currently I am on the job training, and have settled right in. We've been taught how to interact with the guests, and give the children a magical experiance, usually including pixie dust which is cute! I can say I am so happy with my hours too, I am mainly working evenings (about 4 until midnight), which means I have the whole day to sunbath and chat to you lot, which by the way, I cannot get skype to work at the moment! My custome though, is DISGUSTING!! In the words of one of my friends Laura, "a big bowling shoe". I don't have a picture of that yet, but I will be sure to take when later when I go to work and e-mail it out for you all to admire. Although I do have a picture of me at the Disney University...
This is where we have been doing our Merchantainment and cash register training.

I hear I'm missing horrendous weather??? Don't worry, we've had it too!! A few of us went to Magic Kingdom the other day, because that is what we do when we are bored and we can get in for free...
Anyway, yeah so we went there, had a fab time, until the worst strom I have EVER seen decided to come out to play. We got so wet and the thunder was so loud. Here is a picture of the castle in the storm. Times like that I really had my SLR because it just doesn't show the contract between the brightness and prettiness of the castle, compared to how angry and scary the sky looked, but I did my best. Excuse the big splodge of rain on the lens...
Please consider the fact that it was only around 7pm at this time, so they sky wasn't actually dark, that was just the cloud...

So I hope you enjoyed a little update, I must dash now though as I have 4 hours of pool time to fit in before work this evening. Love and miss all your faces.
