Okay so i've been chatting with another Cast Member blogger which has been super helpful with figuring out my blogging boundaries :) So since she asked i'll go more into detail about my Traditions class, my Welcome to class, and my training. So here goes:
We all arrived and signed in around 7:30 (yawwwn!). I was way too excited to be tired. We got our stucky temp name tages (mine which kept sticking and ripping out my hair) and all sat in the big theater type room. We met our awesome trainers, watched some "Welcome to Disney" videos, and split up into smaller groups. I was the Mulan group who was led by a lady who was very good friends with Mulan a few years back ;) So in our smaller groups we went into a huge office building, climbed a million flights of stairs, and got settled in our classroom with the comfy chairs (my favorite part!). We learned some magic, how to use our pixie dust, and everything that it takes to be an amazing Cast Member :) We watched videos (my goodness I never realized that Disney owns EVERYTHING) and played a few games which was really fun! Then came our little break. All the break rooms in the office building are called pantries and are wonderfully equipt with nice fridges, microwaves, coffe makers, vending machines, and a huge flat screen TV! After our break was over, we went on our tour of Disneyland park. It was also the first time i had seen the park in full Christmas swing which was spectacular! :) We also got to tour backstage a little ;) We just walked around with our awesome headsets (so our trainer could talk to us without having to yell) and pretty much just took in our surroundings. I was able to see the park in a completely different view than I usually see it :) It felt even more like home! It was my favorite part of the day. After our tour was our lunch break. I learned that the CM cafeteria serves delicious pizza!! I can't wait to have more pizza :) Lunch was over (my mood being a little spoiled over Manny's phone being lame) and we headed back up to our classroom. We watched more videos, learned more magic, and went back down to the big theater with everyone else. There we were split up into groups again by our jobs, and given information about our Welcome to class. We rejoined again as a big group, and then it was the "celebrate" part of the class!! We were all pretty anxious to get our nametags!! Mickey came out of.nowhere (which made everyone either scream, cry, or get all giddy) and we lined up to get our ID's, nametags, and a high five from Mickey. Then the day was over, and Shelby was ready for a long nap :)
I really had a great time :) It was a little overwhelming, but it was the first step to making mine, and hopefully a million other people's dreams come true!
