Making the magic, one french fry at a time.

So I decided to change the name of my blog, seeming it was a little more appropriate now that I know how much I love my job :) So this past weekend I had my on the job training. Day one (friday) is a littl blurry due to me being so exhausted ;) But we met our trainers, got our costumes, and (well my group) just kinda wandered and made our way over to Hungry Bear. I was super happy that I had Natasha as my trainer!! She's awesome :) And my other two girls Katie and Corina are awesome as well!! :) But friday was just an intro to the area, what we will be doing, learning safety stuff, and all that jazz. The fun came saturday :) I started out as a back of house worker (in the kitchen). I was one of the people that set the food up on the plates and trays. It's not as easy as it looks :) There's lots of food, receipt reading which gets confusing, and when it gets crazy, there's a billion trays flying at you needing food. It's fun but gets crazy :) But I loved it!!


Sunday was my first day as a hostess. I was all excited because I love wearing that costume and my big comfy coat!! Natasha taught me how to open the place, and I started out on drinks. Which isn't the best since I can never seem to get the perfect amount of soda and I end up spilling it on my hands :) My favorite thing to do as a host is work at the window. That's where I get to interact with the guests and make their experience more magical :) Plus I love meeting people, and talking! So it works out well for me :) I only got to do that for awhile, but I already feel like I love it. I love being able to see a little girl smile when I call her a Princess, and hear two boys talk about how much they love Space Mountain. It's an amazing feeling being able to just talk to a family about their trip, and be able to hopefully touch their hearts in a small way. I truly love my job :)


On a side note, being thrown into the work world, and being on my feet all day every day has me exhausted. I'm glad a have a few recovery days to rest and SLEEP before going back, but I miss work so much already!! :)

OTJ Training!!

Today is day number one of my on the job training :) Not sure what to expect, but I am working from 3 to 11:30 so hopefully I stay awake! I'm still sleepy from black friday shopping last night/this morning. But I can't wait for work :)
