Lots of boring meetings and Traditions!

The first two days here we had loads of housing meetings where we just went over all our paperwork and everything you can and can't do.  Housing had a breakfast event where you could meet Mickey and Minnie in their PJs and get free pancakes and french toast before one of our meetings so we took advantage of the free breakfast, as did pretty much everyone else here the queue was so long! There was a DJ and everything which was kinda random at 10am, felt like it should have been the middle of the night!

We got our housing IDs and I will not be posting a pic as I look awful. The humidity and my hair do not mix. In the evening some of us girls from our arrival group went for dinner at Downtown Disney. Had a 2 hour wait for a table but we ate at Rainforest Cafe which I love. Watched some of the entertainment whilst we waited and their was some guy DJing who thought he was so cool it was hilarious to watch. Then some band played and this weird old guy wearing some vivid green sparkly shorts started dancing by himself and many parents took their kids off the dancefloor away from him it was so amusing.

Saturday was an exciting day as it was our first proper training day and we had Traditions!! This is what every single Disney employee does and you learn all about Walt Disney and the companies values. We had a super early start - 6.20am bus! But it was definitly worth it. It takes place at Disney University and the two cast members who presented it were great. It was cheesy but it was really fun and they had some really great stories about their time with the company. They started saying we were going to study textbooks and learn about the parks, then  were like we could visit the Magic Kingdom instead if you want?! So we went backstage at Magic Kingdom which was so much fun. We went underneath the park into the utilidors and then up onstage to Main Street USA. We attracted a few stares as there was so many of us all in business attire, not really  what you'd wear to a theme park! We couldn't take pictures backstage but we had lunch in the cast canteen and saw Belle and Snow White having lunch together! So surreal seeing them in their normal clothes but full hair and make up!

We also had a visit from the boss, Mickey and then we were welcomed into the Disney family with our name badges! So exciting as I've wanted one of these for so long! We also got given our Maingate Passes which give us access to the parks so of course after traditions we rushed home to change and headed straight for Magic Kingdom! Me, Kerry, Mars, Hannah, Eloina (German) and Laura (Canadian) headed straight for Space Mountain with a quick stop for a picture infront of the castle! In the evening we watched The Magic, The Memories and You where they do an amazing projection show on the castle and then it was time for Wishes! Such an amazing firework show and a fantastic end to the day
