First off....
IM SORRY. I said I wouldn't fall into the Sarlac pit of despair that all DCP blogs do because we get so busy and I did the exact thing I said I would. SHAME SHAME SHAME ON ME.
I guess you probably don't want to here my excuse that my computer is broken so I haven't had access to a working laptop since October....it's still the truth.
Alrighty. I'm going to dig deep into the recesses of my brain to try and recall all the details that I can, so I can attempt to salvage this sad little corner of the internet. I want to help others who are interested in the DCP.
After the Housing meeting, I had a day off to just lounge around and get things sorted. Still couldn't play in the parks because I hadn't had my "Traditions" class yet. I feel like during the beginning of your program, it's similar to the beginning of college. Everyone asks the basic questions: "Where are you from?" "What is your role?" "What park are you working in?" "When is your Traditions class?" That last one is SUPER important and can make or break new friendships. Once you get that blue card, the parks are your playground. People were already making plans to meet up withstrangers friends to explore Walt Disney World.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity, but was really only less than 24 hours, Traditions arrived. There were two Traditions groups over the span of several days. One was in the morning and the other the afternoon. I was fortunate enough to have the morning class, which meant after we were finished we could hit up the parks! WOO-HOO. I won't give away any spoilers and if you really want to find out what happens you can honestly just troll the internet, but Traditions was magical. (Did someone say something about a trip through the utilidoors??) This training is given to every single new employee from CPS to executives. It's about why Disney does things the way they do. You get your nice nametag and blue company ID.
Operations training for me was two days after. It was pretttttttty boring. Consisted of lots of videos on safety and a deeper explanation of the roles within Park Operations (including attractions, vacation planner, custodial, main entrance ops, and parking. Did I mention the A/C was broken in Disney University that day? The temperature was around 80 or so in the building. We were thankfully allowed to remove our blazers and cardigans even if that put us in non-Disney look because they didn't want us passing out.
What fun.
