Okay so I have been working at my location (Disney's Art of Animation) for almost two weeks now. This past Saturday was my last day of on the job training. I passed my assessment and took off my "earn your ears" badge!

Basically, I check guests in and out of the hotel. It seems repetitive, but actually, I feel like time goes by pretty fast for the most part. It helps that I really enjoy meeting all the new people and talking to the many guests that come through the hotel. I've had a few guests that have really reminded me why I chose to work at Disney. I love seeing the families that are just so excited to be taking their kids on their first big Disney vacation. I also have enjoyed getting to know a few of my co workers. Everyone is very nice and helpful so I feel comfortable asking questions whenever I need to.

When I was training I had all early morning shifts from around 6am-2 or 3pm. This week, however, I have had all late shifts from around 5-2am. I thought I would hate the late shifts, but I ended up really enjoying them. I like it better than the early shifts because I have my whole day to get things done or go enjoy a park before work.

I have the next two days off, so I am looking forward to relaxing and maybe exploring some more of the parks or resorts!
