Today was a big day – my arrival date. Not just starting a new internship but relocating onto the Disney campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arrival\u00a0day was assigned 5\/2\/2022 at 9:30 AM at Flamingo Crossings. The apartments are very very nice they come with LOTS of outdoor and indoor community gathering amenities – two pools with movie screens, a big outdoor area basketball court workout room, grills, lawn chess and seating areas to name a few. Branding is so important for Disney and is very obvious from the housing campus for the cast members. The Disney experience begins here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After check-in I promptly proceeded to get my company ID and to move into my room which I share with another roommate named Gillian. We share the living space with 2 other women. I am the only new “cast member” today. The others have been here for 6 to 9 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am so excited to be able to have this opportunity to work for Disney and see how their company runs inside and outside of the park. To observe all the work it takes to run such a successful “creative” business.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The early afternoon meeting included all the new \u201ccast members\u201d who moved in today. It’s exciting to meet and make connections with other people that I can network with and keep in contact with for the future. Dinner was with some new friends I met from other states and other nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Networking will be an important thing to do this summer. I am so excited to meet even more people! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today was exhausting in a good way. I also took time to explore around the apartments and took the campus transportation to see where I would be entering the park once work begins. I rode the bus to Magic Kingdom so I could time how long the commute will take me to be on time to work. Disney provides a busing system from Flamingo Crossings to the parks. I think is a very good resource and also will give me good experience navigating bus systems and public transportation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
