my first day of training was fun… it was discovery day and we got to learn about epcot and walk around the entire park and learn a little about the countries and the food and wine festival. the second day we all met in our costumes (the flag shirt and white shorts) and sat in the odyssey and learned specifically about the festival. i sat with kyle (the most amazing bf i could have asked for) also with phil, janie, and another older woman. it was so much fun. we all laughed and talked and had a great time. i loved every minute of it, when it was boring we all made it fun and funny. the second day of training we were split into smaller groups and were given a more in depth tour (like where all the break rooms for merchandise only were and also where to clock in). i was also with kyle and we were the youngest so we got to hang out with older couples who were so nice and fun. hugh, becky and jason were our trainers and it was too fun. we even got to go the 3rd floor of the land (which at that time was closed to the public) for more training.... we even go to open wine bottles.
the festival started on september 24, which was the soft opening and cast preview. it was a great day. nothing was really open yet so we got to hang out and give out stickers to the guests.
my time at the festival was amazing. every part of it. being in merchandise there were 5 possible locations that we could have been to work… beer hop, new york wines, canada, morocco, festival welcome center (wonders bar, book nook, …). in the beginning i was always at the morocco tent. and i loved it. i worked with the most wonderful people and the environment was wonderful. that was what they were most known for. later, they started moving me around.
the welcome center was in the wonders pavilion which it was formally known as. that is where they had the body wars ride and stuff like that. when the festival isn’t going on the building is closed.
they started putting me in the welcome center a lot. and i loved it!! i got to work with all my favorite people and even got really close with our zone checkers (the group of girls/ladies who helped us out, they weren’t the managers but they acted like it and closed out the areas with us and helped us open them and basically were wonderful).
during this time, my friends micki and her boyfriend joe came to visit. then my friends shay and todd came to visit it also. it was a nice mini vacation even though i didn't actually go anywhere.
