Using the Force... to Stay Awake!

Yesterday was day two of orientation and it was very long... The information they were sharing with us was important but all we did was sit in the chair of a classroom and it was very hard to stay awake when sitting that long. After I got back to the apartment from orientation at 2, it wasn't long after that my roommates and I went to Hollywood Studios for the last day of Star Wars Weekends. 

It was absolutely incredible. I am a big fan of "nerdy" environments, such as DragonCon, and Star Wars was an extremely nerdy environment! Loved it! Not only that but the fireworks they set off at the end of the night are the most spectacular fireworks I have ever seen! (I have not seen New Years Eve fireworks at Disney... so I might change my opinion after I do).

And like a responsible adult, knowing that I had to get up at 4 AM the next morning.... I went to the late showing of fantasmic! It was just as beautiful and awesome as ever! I then got back to the apartment and fell asleep by 1 AM. My three hours of sleep then leads to today's adventures. I went to the utilidors at 7:00 expecting the same class setting as the day before. NOPE! We went on a 4 hour walking tour of the Magic Kingdom with barely any downtown. It was still great though because even while I got blisters, they were worth it in order to learn some things I did not know about the park. After the tour is finished all the CP's head to their personal work location/title group. In my group, Main Street Ops, we went to costuming to beat the crowds. My costume is basically a suit with short sleeve, a skimmer, and black shoes.  I found out that I will be working PAC (Parade Audience Control) and that I would also be cross trained in something else as well down the road. My options for other things to be trained in would be to be the conductor of the magic kingdom train, to work the kiosk at one of the sorcery portals, or the work in the theater right next to Lady and the Tramp where I would welcome guests to visit Mickey and Tinker bell. They all sound like really good choices though, I can't wait to find out which one I am assigned, hopefully tomorrow :)
