Just like that those 21 days went by extremely fast, I know I have been MIA since the last post but I had to strap down and power through my finals and the last week of school. Since then I graduated undergrad and made it safely up here to Orlando. I have been here for three days and it has been absolutely lovely, I want to keep this post short since i have to head to bed soon because of the early wake up call I have tomorrow for Traditions, but I will talk a little bit about my first few days.
So I arrived bright and early on Monday morning and Vista Way, 15 minutes before my scheduled time of 8:00 am. I grabbed a program guide and was given a name tag sticker. The line was quite short and I don't think it took us more than 30 mins to come in the building and receive the first thing, your label with your official assignment on it. I had a fluorescent yellow sticker with my official Recreation Assignment: Children's Activities and the Resort were I was placed at. When she placed the sticker on the back of my program guide I almost cried, my placement could not be more perfect if I tried. From then we made another line and here we had or DORMS passed scanned, took the picture for our Housing ID and then received our room key. After that we received our housing ID and a piece of paper with the instructions and times for your casting, drug test,language test and the housing meeting.

After that we were whisked off to Casting, and of course with that came all the fun of being in the bus doing the awesome countdown and heading into the building, once in the building though we did a couple of more serious things, like fill out paperwork receive our official training schedule and be finger printed. After coming back I had to do a drug test, now this is something that all CPs working lifeguard, recreation or attraction roles must do, this must be passed in order to proceed to Traditions and the rest of your training. That was that, I used the rest of Monday to move in to our lovely apartment in Chatham Square, and then all the girls in the apartment decided to head out to Downtown Disney!

Tuesday was quite a slow day with no plans except for our housing meeting, this was a very thorough presentations of the Do's and Dont's of Disney Housing. A lot of going over dorm rules, which seemed pretty obvious to me because I was an RA for three years, but a lot of people still had questions, which made the meeting last a little longer than expected. All in all it was harmless and pretty fun as well. Then today Wednesday we had our Ariel's Grotto Pool Party over in the Commons Pool, which had a DJ and free food. This was a lot of fun and a nice event for new and current CPs to interact with each other! I made a couple of new friends from it and it was great!! The rest of the afternoon was spent in Downtown Disney exploring and then coming back fro dinner. Now I am heading off to bed since I have to wake up in six hours so I wont miss the bus to Traditions, which will be covered in the next post. All in all these last three days have been swell!
See ya real soon!
