Last Day of Orientation and Another Free Day

Tuesday of this week was my last day of orientation which means Saturday I will be officially training! Woot woot! What I did on Tuesday was go on a tour of the Magic Kingdom once again and the utilidors and learn plenty more about how things function backstage. Ask me anything about the Magic Kingdom and I am pretty sure I know it now! The majority of what learned was where I would be clocking in, where I would be having my breaks, and what sort of things my job requires. Now while there is a lot of information I cannot share, there are a couple of things that I can. One being, the gentleman who made the mosaics in the castle and in the contemporary resort may not leave the traditional signature he does leave a special marking. On both pieces he has placed 5 things where you normally only see 4... for instance, if he were making a mosaic of a fork he would give it 5 tips instead of the usual 4. Take a look at the mosaics and see if you can find the artist's mark! Another very cool thing I learned was that the tiles that you see outside of the Magic Kingdom have a couple very important names on them so take some time to check it out. And finally... thanks to my roommate, I learned that in Epcot you'll find a perfectly round circle right in front of the fountain that is right in front of spaceship earth and right below this circle is the where the very first shovel was placed for the start of the construction of Epcot. There is always a fun fact when working here! Tuesday was also my first day in costume and while it is a very hot costume, I absolutely love it. I look very dapper all the time in  my bow tie and skimmer. And today-friday I am free from work! So today I had some quick service BBQ outside of House of Blues which was wonderful and then got some groceries (I am sure you love to know that!) and then I came home to make reservations for my family's July visit which I am so excited about! Can't wait! Tomorrow I have class and after that is the first welcome event of the DCP Fall Advantage program called "Off to Neverland". Exciting! and lastly, congratulations to a close friend of mine on acing an interview and getting the job! So happy for you! :)
