Disney Stories

I have finished two days of training and it's going really well! I have to be honest...I was really nervous going into training. I had no idea what to expect and all of the stories I had been hearing last week made me a little scared. Fainting in the Florida sun! Not what I want to have happen. But, it is so cool what I get to do everyday and I don't think I'll be fainting any time soon. After all, water will be my best friend and I will never be alone. One of the things that they made sure to tell us is that we are making an impact on all of the guests that we meet, even if we don't know it at that moment. The smallest things can make a world of a difference to the children and adults; we help make their favorite memories.

I get to learn a lot of fun facts in my job. Did you know that Disney has about 3,000 animated and live-action characters? That's a lot! Minnie Mouse has about 200 outfits in her closet. I wish it was my closet! But I don't know if I would be able to pull off all of her outfits. Only someone that awesome can pair bright yellow shoes with a red and white polka dot dress. I'm sure that when Minnie and I become best friends, she can give me some fashion advice.


The fun part of the job is getting to hear all the fun Disney stories that all the cast members have. Yesterday, I got to eat lunch at a table with three managers of parades and shows at Animal Kingdom. It was a blast listening to all the funny things that happen to guests and other cast members. There was one day when Snow White was standing by her wishing well and she went to wave. When she put her hand up, a bird landing right on her finger! Now that is Disney magic! The really touching stories are about children who are less fortunate or sick with a terrible disease who are meeting the characters for the first and only time. I always get choked up. Then again, I get choked up when we watch videos about Disney World. I guess it's because I hold Disney World so near and dear to my heart; most of my best memories come from here. Now, I have the best job in the world in my favorite place in the world!
