Training....fooooooooooreeeeeveer

So I am one of two people in the Disney college program that is a part of Guest Services at the hotels on property. That is a really big accomplishment that I am constantly reminded of by everyone else in the program that doesn't exactly "love" their job.
The other person that works Guest Services in the program with me is Jude.....hes pretty awesome. He's also my fake husband at work...ya, I have a fake husband at work.

Thats Jude.

I'm not allowed to talk a lot about my job, to preserve the magic of course. So I'll be as detailed as possible with the training and then next week when I have a better handle of working by myself then I'll have a better description of my day to day work life.

The training was so intensive, it was nearly one full month. That's how important our job is. Before I was even allowed to see a guest in my costume I had one week of training backstage. It was 7 days at 8 hours each and basically in that 7 days we had so much information grilled into us. Like the four keys that Disney Stands by.

Safety, Courtesy, Show, Efficiency

The 7 day intensive training was called "Global Lodge Training" and it came with an 80 page notebook to fill in.

There was also "Traditions," which is the first day of your official work for the Walt Disney Company. they also drill the Four Keys into you there as well s the entire history of the Walt Disney Company. they do this so that we as new Cast Members are able to understand fully why it is that we follow the the Four Keys so deeply. We as Cast Members, believe that in order for Disney to continue to be as successful as it is, we need to fully understand the significance of keeping the "show" going as "efficiently" and "safely" as possible with keeping "courtesy" in mind.

So this week is my first week of work absolutely by myself because I have officially passed all my training and tests. I'll have a better update next week once my hours go from 50+ a week down to hopefully 30-40. Because I am absolutely exhausted!!

Till next week. Here are some more pictures that I could get from Traditions. Again, they arent that detailed so that the "magic" can be protected. Till next time!
