Hi friends,
I have had time to settle into my new place and new role with Disney. I am a custodian at Epcot and I am global, which means I work everywhere in the park. I have not had a day that I am working in the same area, so every day I have learned a new area. I have been able to clean mostly Canada 🇨🇦 in the World Showcase, along with the Ratatouille restrooms in France, the area near test track (which is currently closed right now! Will be for a while!) and the American Adventure restrooms in America. The largest restroom is the American restroom with 44 stalls. So I got to beat my personal record of how many stalls I cleaned when I worked at Magic Kingdom.
I had the opportunity to go on a backstage tour of the Parade Building. We got to see where the characters get ready and dressed, as well as how they are lifted onto the floats (forklifts!). We got to see and touch the parade floats and see the set up for the drivers (some have visibility whereas other float drivers utilize cameras). They also pointed out a few hidden mickeys on the float and they pointed out the emergency stop buttons on each side of the float. Try and look for those next time you watch a Disney parade!
After the tour, our leaders spread some pixie dust on us and we got to ride the newest ride at Disney, Tianas Bayou Adventure!
I have been going to a few other cast member events, such as a cinema trivia night, where my team won first place!
Our cast member discount was up to 40% until yesterday, so I was able to buy a few items with a great discount. Our cast connection store was also discounted as well and I was able to buy 4 spirit jerseys for the retail price of 1!
I will try and add photos later, since I don’t have a laptop anymore it’s not letting me insert them.
Please follow me on instagram or tik tok for photos and videos of my shenanigans. My username is sweeping.beauty
