Traditions - 16th Jan

SORRY FOR THE DELAY - HAD A VERY BUSY BUT FANTASTIC 24 HOURS!

So this morning was quite a chill one. The most exciting thing that me and one of my roommates did was we went and bought a second-hand Clothes Air-dryer. As stupid and ridiculous as it sounds but Americans do not know/use air dryers or at least not down in Florida!! We asked multiple times at Walmart and no one could help us! There is a Trading Post Facebook page for DCP (Disney College Program) people to join and sell things amongst each other which is where we found this clothes hanger. The roommates and I were more then happy to get it - it was hilarious how happy we were! Apparently American's machine dry everything! ANYWAYS, so we headed off at about 9am to the bus to Chatham (another housing complex). A we didn't really think about it but once we go the air dryer we would have to carry it on to the bus - and of course I was nominated by my roomie to carry it: 

I was freezing in this photo!

So once we got it home we had a few hour to kill before our next Orientation session! This session is called 'Traditions' it is a right of passage for every Cast Member at Disney! So I made some lunch (chicken breast and salad) and then I got ready. We had to wear business Attire. 

Traditions:

So we were already for Traditions at 1:30 for it to start at 3pm. To get to where the Traditions was being held we had to go on to Disney property!!

 Traditions was held at Disney University:

Traditions went for about 6 hours in total! It had it's "boring parts" where they talked about the necessary safety and workplace procedures but there was also a lot of fun things! 

1. We got our first set of Mickey ears!:

2. We left Disney University and had a tour of Magic Kingdom and the backstage areas aswell! 

AND WE GOT TO SEE THE CASTLE!

3. Then we came back and we got to meet the Boss!

I don't know about you guys but he is going to be the best boss EVER!

4. And then last but certainly not least - we got out name badges!

I love it! Even if it does say "South Brisbane" on it! And I can't wait to wear it proerly as an Official Cast Member of Walt Disney World Orlando!

After Traditions finished we rushed home (had about 10 minutes at home) and then ran back tot he bus and caught it to Downtown Disney!

We met the other Roomates there and went to:

It is like a food place that is also a Bowling Alley! It was a lot of fun! We all bought cups that you can take to machines that look like this: 

It has HEAPS of different flavours of soft drink that you can choose from a nd fill up as much as you want as many times as you want! It was great!

Laura and I shared a BBQ Chicken pizza! It was massive but delicious! 

And then we shared a equally yummy dessert - Browny with Ice-cream!

It's gonna be so hard not to get fat in America! But the food is so good and SOO cheap its ridiculous! Overall it was a great day!! And a great night out with the Roommates! It was the first time we had sat down and ate a meal together! We are gonna have a great 6 months together, I think!
