Arrival

Hi friends! It has been a wonderful three weeks! I have moved into my new apartment with my roommates Megan, Irma, Sarah and Lizzie! I am happy to announce that I will be working in Disneyland park as a global cast member! This means that I am not locked in one land, such as Critter Country, but rather I change locations daily.  I feel that this will help me grow by learning about other parts of Disney and being a part of many more stories.


I have gone to the parks with my friends as well as alone, which is always fun! One awesome thing that the College Program does for its participants is special events.  On top of the housing events they plan, which is where they have music and food at our housing location, they have park events.  I attended a special backstage tour of the Indiana Jones ride! I learned a lot of cool stuff!  I am looking forward to the next event, which will be riding Space Mountain with the lights on!

I learned my lesson: Don't go on Splash Mountain at night when there is no sunlight to dry your soaked clothes.

Some of the attractions here at Disneyland are currently closed for refurbishment, the most notable one is Haunted Mansion.  I have never been to a Disney park during the holidays, so I am beyond  stoked to see the Haunted Mansion as well as the entire park be decked out for Halloween and Christmas.  I signed up to be trained to give out candy for the Halloween parties that they throw at Disneyland.   

I reunited with my Custodian friend from WDW back in 2014!

My work has been going well, other than getting hurt by running into a rock.  I banged up my knee but I am slowly getting better.  I have lots to share about the differences in Custodial between the two parks, but I will save that for another post.  As for now, I am just enjoying my time here and meeting new people every day!
