Class, Party, Friends, and Training!

Lots has happened since my last post! We shall start from Thursday, June 19th! So this past Thursday I had my usual class from 1:30-5:30 but as soon as I got back to the apartment I had to get ready for the first welcome event of my program.

 It was called "Off to Neverland", it had a Peter Pan theme. They had Peter Pan, Wendy, Captain Hook, and Smee all there for photos. I got a picture with Captain Hook and Smee, which is pretty great considering the fact that they do not do any meet and greets or pictures in the park anymore.

They had a backdrop of Neverland set up and a photo booth with props all set up. They did a really great job and they even had free pizza and soda for all of us. We even had some pretty crazy awesome dancing!

 Jump forward to Friday, the 20th, I got to hang out with awesome family friends!

We had so much fun riding Big Thunder even in the rain. This family came to Disney looking for some magic and boy did they get it! A private Meet-and-greet with Anna and Elsa!!!

It was soooooo cool! People wait like 5 hours and yet they set aside time so this family could enjoy their time alone with them for just a few minutes. There was some serious Disney magic at work that day! After that we went to dinner at Shutters at the Caribbean Beach Resort and my goodness was that food delicious. It is so great to change it up and not have a sandwich lol. After dinner I had to head back to my apartment to get some shut eye before my long day of training and they were kind enough to give me a ride so I didn't have to take the bus. I am so happy I got to spend time with this wonderful family on their vacation :) Now we come to Saturday, yesterday! I got up all early because I was really excited about training! I trained from 1:45-10:15PM... it was a very long day and I learned so much and honestly I didn't even notice how much time was going by because I was having so much fun. I got to help with parade audience control, help set up for the parade, attend PAC meetings, and interact with guests. Big thing of the day was that I hugged a random dude! Dude-bro didn't get to hug one of the characters in the parade, so he asked me "Awwww, will you hug me Abi?" and I was like of course random stranger! Because that's the kind of service you get at Walt Disney World! I had such a wonderful day and I already love my job. Today is another day of training as well as tomorrow so I will share my crazy stories as soon as I can :)
