Welcome to Operations Training & First Night in Magic Kingdom
Today was my very first day of Training! I was scheduled to have WELCOME TO OPERATIONS training from 7:30 - 14:00 PM. I took the bus to Disney University and someone there guided us to where our class was meeting in the cafeteria. Then we followed someone to our classroom and there were about 35 or so people in my training class. We had two facilitators who were very engaging and interactive with us. They played a virtual slideshow and discussed all the main purposes of operations here at the Walt Disney World Resort. Operations basically stands for a good number of the roles offered to CP's such as Merchandise, Attractions, Lodging, Quick Service Food and Beverage, Transportation, etc. We discussed how to interact with guests in the Disney way and how to use the Disney point and much more. It was a little tiring, but still fun and exciting at the same time!

After training, I came back to the apartment and met up with one of my roommates, Bonnie. We were planning on going to Magic Kingdom with everyone once the rest of our roommates got their blue ID's to go into the parks for free. Kristen, Emily, and Katie had Traditions in the afternoon and Catherine and Sherri went to Animal Kingdom, so me and Bonnie decided that we wanted to go to Magic Kingdom. I really wanted to do something since technically I could've gotten into the parks yesterday, but I wanted to wait until everyone could go. We ended up riding the bus from Chatham to the Polynesian and then catching the monorail to Magic Kingdom. We had to go to Guest Services to get our ticket into the park and then headed straight into the Emporium. I really wanted to buy sparkly Minnie ears because I've never owned a pair and have always wanted them, and Bonnie really wanted a red polka dot Minnie baseball cap. We both bought what we wanted, so we were very happy!!

We rode Haunted Mansion first and then rode It's a Small World before heading over to meet Kristen, Bonnie, and Katie in Tomorrowland at Cosmic Rays Starlight Café. We rode the People Mover and then watched Carousel of Progress before heading back to the apartment because we were exhausted, and I had to be up pretty early to meet at MK Costuming for my Tier One Training. I had such a fun night in the parks with my lovely roommates!! I LOVE them so much already!
