Orientation Sessions - 15th Jan

Today we had an early start as we had to be at the bus by 8.15am! And the we were taken to another Complex which is called the Commons. And we had another Disney Orientation Session which was all about Immigration and making sure that we know what is involved with that. It didn't take long - only about half an hour.

At the Immigration Session

Then we came back to our apartment and all the flatmates hung around for a little while and then we decided to go and watch a movie in the Clubhouse - but unfortunately because we are not 'official' cast members yet we aren't able rent out the movies (until tomorrow when we have traditions - which I shall explain later) so we just watched some TV down there for a while. And then I just had a cruisey afternoon until about 2;30 which is when I had another Orientation Session.

Orientation Session:
This afternoons orientation was purely all about signing and sorting paperwork for different aspects of living here at Disney! But the greatest and most exciting thing happened while I was at this session: I FOUND OUT WHERE I AM WORKING!! :O I had a very basic wish list for my dream workplace but I never thought I would get any of them BUT I got the Grand Floridian Resort (Full Service Food and Beverage - which is similar to a Maitre d in the resorts restaurant 'Citricos'. 

This is my Restaurant

It is the most high end/expensive resort at Disney! Seriously Google it! It is absolutely amazing and I am so so excited! The lady there told me that Michele Obama and the Prince of Arabia and many other wealthy people have stayed a the resort and dined in my restaurant! So exciting!

We also found out when our 'Traditions' session is tomorrow, mine is at 3pm. Traditions is a right of passage for every Disney Cast Member so tomorrow I will become an official employee at Disney - excitinngggg! 

After our meeting finished we walked back to our apartment and it was about 5pm and decided to make Dinner early - tonight we made Carbonara - I know two pasta dishes but we are giving this week a pass as we are still settling in and getting things sorted. 

Movie Night:
Disney Housing put on events for the College Program Students ALL the time and tonight happened to be a movie night that they screened Maleficent! It started at 6;30pm and we were given free popcorn and a soft drink! It was a great night out with most of the Roomies and the movie was great also!

Although it has been so cold and drizzly yesterday and today! I mean, I know it is "winter" here and everything but c'mon I wanna see some sunshine please Florida! 

So yes tomorrow will be an exciting day - we are hopefully planning on going to Magic Kingdom tomorrow night as we get our Employee Passes tomorrow!! YAAY! 

I'll keep ya posted!
