So on Tuesday there wasn't much, just a meeting on the apartment complexes and the rules. The complexes , by the way, are REALLY pretty, spacious and have a pool, Теннис court, fitness center, and depending on the apartment complex Ты get, it has its own little resort.
The building on the left is a Chatham building, where I live. Those other 2 don't exist, it must be an old picture. All the buildings in Chatham look like the one on the left.
Today was the big day- Traditions. This is when they really drill into Ты the look of the park and how you're supposed to act. It's really long and really boring, although it's fun in some parts. We arrived at a building labeled Дисней University.
They basically drilled in this message: "WE CREATE HAPPINESS" as the mantra for the cast members of the park. They then took us on a quick tour to Magic Kingdom. If Ты work in one area of the park, and have to get to another, Ты actually go through underground tunnels, including ones below Cinderella's castle, so as not to ruin the illusion for the guests. Remember, Дисней is all about image. So we walked under a tunnel under Cinderella's castle. Here's a picture of what it looks like.
Under the castle, we passed Золушка walking through the utilidors!! Well, a girl playing her. She looked pretty tired & pissed off. If Ты work for Disney, remember some of the magic is ruined for Ты because Ты see the behind-the-scenes. I smiled at Cindy but she looked unhappy.
So, for example, if Ты need to get to the mainstreet of Magic Kingdom from Fantasyland, Ты cannot walk over in uniform out of a park out in the open. Ты HAVE to use the utilidors. In the park they had us remember to look for 4 "keys"- that they stress. FIRST & еще IMPORTANT: Safety. The lotto for that is "SafeD starts with me!" (the 'D' being written like the d from 'Disney') The секунда most important is COURTESY. The third is Показать (making sure Ты ALWAYS project the Дисней image!) and the fourth is EFFICIENCY.
During this quick tour to Magic Kingdom we turned out of the utlidor into the park, and right as we turned, there was Cinderella's castle. I started tearing up & I was the only one who did so. It was the perfect moment; the замок was in the middle of its princess show; the first 3 princesses were dancing with their princes. Mickey & Minnie were up there too. Minnie сказал(-а) she wasn't a princess like these girls, and Mickey сказал(-а) 'you're a princess to me.' and joined them in dancing. Then the 3 princesses song played, and 'A Dream is a Wish Your сердце Makes' ended just as we passed the castle, it was perfect. We also passed the Rapunzel meet and greet.
BTW, when a bus is out of service, it says 'Flynn Rider' on it so everyone knows not to board it. AHAHAH
When we got back we had еще super boring presentations. The two leaders sounded super rehearsed but enthusiastic. Mickey came in (they 'pretended' the knock on the door was a пицца delivery, but it was so obviously rehearsed) and delivered us our name tags. Here's a picture of mine!
We finally got one before we left. By the end my feet were aching, and I just wanted to get out of the clothes- we had to wear nice work attire. If Ты didn't wear the perfect attire as specified in the handbook, they won't let Ты board the bus in the first place and WILL send Ты back to your apartment. You'll have to do traditions on ANOTHER день and it's not a good start.
Yesterday was fun- I went in the pool, it was FREEZING- today was exhausting and boring but at least I'm better prepared.
Tomorrow is my день off and I'll be spending it at Дисней World, since today I got my employee card & now get into the parks for free!
