Christmas

Hey guys!

Hope you all had a really good Christmas and got all the stuff you were hoping for. Now lets talk about how I spent Christmas. As I have already stated I had to work a 12 hour shift, fun! The day started out pretty good. Few issues with people calling in sick which got sorted out pretty well. Around 11 that's when it started getting a bit busy. That's when the storm came. Some pretty severe weather. We had a tornado watch near us, which I am told is really rare for Florida. Two tornadoes did touch down but nowhere near us. But we did get storms and really heavy rainfall. Of course The Great Movie ride is a very large building and a 20 min ride so its the opportune place for people to get out of the rain. So when it started to come down, there was a mad rush to our line, which bumps up the wait time. We had angry guests because of the rain and now they had to wait longer. And when people exited the ride, the didn't want to go out in the rain, so our exit got congested with people who wouldn't move. When this happens we have to light load onto the vehicles which means we put fewer people on the vehicles, which means a longer wait in the line. Then our compressor decided to blow. I was on a vehicle when this happened. I was going through Tarzan, and he was just waiting in the middle and not swinging back and forth, in Oz, the witch didn't have her smoke, Alien was just slumped out his hiding hole, and the smoke where the death scene of our bandit/gangster happens wasn't working so the guests could see them walking through the hidden wall. At this point they decided to close the ride to fix it. This means telling a line with people who have been waiting an hour that they had to go and come back when we got everything fixed. That was Christmas at the Great Movie Ride.

Then came boxing day, another 12 hour shift. Boxing day was much busier then Christmas, which means another long wait. Thankfully we didn't have the bad weather, it was just cold. It was about 2pm when we had a vehicle go down, 10 min wait is Oz (every time something goes wrong I am always on a vehicle and I am always in Oz!) After they got that car going and I finished up, it was time for my break. I come back from getting lunch and the call comes in that the car broke again and they can't move it, so we had to go 101 (the code for the ride having to close). This means going out and telling another queue of people that have been waiting for an hour that we are closing and they have to leave and come back (with some people being in the queue the day before).

Luckily I now have two days off and am looking forward to not having to deal with people yelling at me. Yay! Now I have to prepare for the New Years period where we will be getting double the amount of people we did on Boxing Day.

Take Care!

Days Off

Hello!

Just had the last two days off. Spent Thursday at Studios as I had to pick up my paycheck and wanted to do some of the stuff I haven't seen yet. Got to check out the Lights Motors Action! stunt show which was pretty cool. I got quite a few photos of that, which I will share with you once I find out the best way to put them online. Also got to see Fantasmic!, which is Studio's big fireworks show. Yesterday I got to the one park that I haven't been to yet, Animal Kingdom. I liked it a lot more then I was expecting. The attention to detail that they have there is amazing. I got to see the brand new show there as well, Finding Nemo: The Musical. I was pretty impressed. They've gone with the Lion King stage show kind of theme, with all the actors controlling puppets of the characters. Didn't get on the big new roller coaster they have there, Expedition Everest as there was an hour long line which I didn't really want to wait that long for, so I'll go back after the holiday season when the crowds die down. Finished up the night at Epcot, where it started to rain and I got completely soaked. Got on the ride Mission Space there which was a lot of fun.

Now I have to get to work, 2:30-8:30 so not such a bad shift. Them my week of 12 hour shifts and finishing at 2 in the morning start, fun stuff! If I don't post or email you before then, I wish you all a very merry christmas!

GREAT MOVIE RIDE FUN FACT: The ruby slippers in Oz are size 9 and a half.

Exciting Stuff

Hello

Well my shift yesterday certainly turned out to be an interesting one. First up it was my first 12 hour shift (first of many it looks like, working 12 hours on Christmas Day and Boxing day woohoo!) They day wore on pretty long by the end of it and things were going pretty smoothly. That is until about an hour and a half before we were due to finish up. I was running a vehicle through and we could all start to smell a really horrible smell, almost of something was burning. I continued on and got to Oz, when I finished my spiel there I waited for the light to go green so I could go to the next area ... it didn't. After a few minutes a call came through that we were expecting technical difficulties. So here I am waiting will a car full of people waiting for someone to come help. Someone came through and told us that we were evacuating the ride as a vehicle had overheated with smoke going everywhere, and I had to entertain the guests while we waited till all the cars behind us had been unloaded. Luckily the guests in my car had a good humour about the whole situation. So we are sitting there for 15 - 2o minutes, I crack some jokes, tell them a bit about Australia and when I have reached the bottom of the barrel ... start playing eye spy. The runners finally came through and we got everyone off (many taking photos as a memento). When then have an hour of just standing around waiting for a shift to end. It was here I got to meet the guy that operates all the projectors in the park. Turns out that his other job is working as a camera operator on films. Also turns out that he worked on all three of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies! He wasn't able to say anything about the third one, but tells me that it's going to blow everyone’s minds. But I spent a good while talking with him about the films he has worked on, what process is involved with it all and name dropping all the people he has worked with and telling me about them.

So yeah, turned out to be a pretty interesting conclusion to a very long day.

Talk to you soon!

GREAT MOVIE RIDE FUN FACT: In all of the Disney parks there are many 'Hidden Mickeys', which are hidden outlines of Mickey Mouse. On the Great Movie Ride soundstage is the only Hidden Minnie in the whole of the Walt Disney World Resort.

Hey peoples

Haven't been up to much exciting stuff over the past few days. Just I did get to go see the movie 'Stranger than Fiction'. Really good film (Will Farrel) and I suggest you all go see it. Been working a bit as well. Things have been going pretty smoothly. Just getting into the hang of everything. All the different positions I have to do a pretty easy and straight forward. Most of them are just standing around. The one I don't like at the moment is ADB (Assistant Director B). It is just being incharge of the dock area and loading the people into the cars. But its very hectic and all over the place and gets really annoying when guests dont go to the row that you assign them or a family of 4 spaces themselves out cause they don't want any other people in the row (even though each row can fit 6 people) or when people are too fat to fit in a row. Its basically like playing tetris but all of the pieces have a really bad attitude. I just checked my work schedual and I got a 12 hour shift on Monday Woo hoo! Anyway I have to get going now, got some christmas shoppin to do, woo hoo!

Have a good one guys!

Working

Hello Guys

Sorry haven't posted in a while, there has been so much going on that I haven't been able to get onto the computers, and when I have its been for work related stuff. A lots been happening since I last posted so as I can't remember what I've been doing on what day, I'll just summarize everything.

Going to the parks...

Managed to get to all of them except Animal Kingdom now. Magic Kingdom is pretty cool. Been in the Pirates ride about 5 times now :). Epcot is pretty cool as well. Half of has got semi educational attractions, but they are still pretty fun. The other half of Epcot though is the World Showcase, which is divided into 11 sections that are themed around 11 countries from the world. Its nice just to walk around there and take it all in. Disney-MGM Studios is my favourtie so far, of course. Got to see the bone cages from Dead Mans Chest which got me all giddy. Only been on a couple of attractions from each park though, just spacing them out as I got 2 months to do it all in :P.

Working at the Great Movie Ride

Finished my last couple days training. Didn't really do all that much for that. Most of it was spending 10 minutes explaining what to do, then going for a 2 hour break, not complaining though, still getting paid for it. After another 2 days of training, my assessment day came. It just consisted of a written test (which they showed me the day before so I knew the answers) and just doing all the various roles, which was pretty easy. Then I became an official Great Movie Rider. This consisted of a handprint ceremony, which was me putting my handprint on the wall. I was able to put it next to Tom Hank's signature which was awesome (see below for more info). Started my official day working there today. It was pretty hectic but I think I did alright. The girl that I was training alongside started her first day today as well. She had three vehicles die on her (not her fault) but still not cool.

Anyhoo I about to be kicked off the computer so I will have to rap this up. Day off tomorrow, but only because I have to go get a social security number, Joy!

Take Care

GREAT MOVIE RIDE FUN FACT: In one of the access walkways on the Great Movie Ride, everyone that has worked on the Great Movie Ride has put their handprint on the wall. I few years ago when Tom Hanks visited the Ride, he put his handprint and signature up. But one worker on the Movie Ride got angry at this because he hadn't actually worked on the ride itself and washed it off. All that is left his signature faintly scratched in the wall.

First Day Off!!!

Hey peeps!

It's my first day off since I got here woo hoo! As soon as I finish writing this post I will be heading for the Epcot theme park, should be fun. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest just came out on DVD yesterday, so they have it playing in the background in the Learning Centre here (which is where I am typing this) awesome!

Dec 5th

Started at 12 today. Thought I was going to be late because I though I had lost my Disney ID card as it wasn't in the lanyard I keep it in. Spent half an hour running around looking for it, going to all the places I had been asking people if someone had turned it in. Turns out I just put it in my wallet. How foolish did I feel. Started out the day working on the script a bit, trying to get it down. Did a couple of dead shows around the ride (this means doing the ride without any guests). I keep on stuffing up the actors names for the movies that I don't know. (I get Dick Powell from Footlight Parade easy enough because I find his name so amusing). But we need to get the script line for line perfect otherwise they give us a reprimand., which sucks because the script is so bland and clunky and crap. Example in Mary Poppins you HAVE to say Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke and NOT SAY Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews. Go figure. Anyway after this my trainer did something really mean, started putting people on my tram and says 'Oh your going to do it live now, good luck!' So feeling completely not ready, they get me to do my first live show. Didn't do too bad, didn't do all that good either. Was just relieved when it was all over. After this did some loading exercises and evacuation routes. Got 2 doors into showing the evacuation exits when the other trainer (who likes to climb thing) comes up and goes 'lets go play on the catwalks!'. So we spent about an hour just exploring the catwalks above the ride where they hang all the lights and stuff which was pretty awesome. Then we learnt what to do when the ride closes at night and went home.

And that’s all that happened. Anyway now to hit Epcot!

Toora!

GREAT MOVIE RIDE FUN FACT: The two audio animatronic gangsters used in the gangster scene are replicas of two pirates from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. If you open the mail box in Gangster, they have photos of them.

The Great Movie Post

Hey everybody!

I hope everybody is going well.

Apologies to people emailing me, my phone company said that I would be able to still send and receive emails on my phone, but they were wrong. So I only get half an hour on the computers at Vista Way and depending on when they are open and when I am working it tough to get on them. I will answer you eventually, so please don’t think I am rude for not answering. Well it has been an exciting couple of days for me lately. Let’s see what’s been happening.
1st Dec

After my last post I did end up going to the Magic Kingdom. I got there about 5pm and they closed at 7. But the cool thing is I can get in for free and I am here for 2 months, so I don't have to pack everything in on one day and leisurely take it all in. I'm sure you can guess where I beelined as soon as I walking into the park, that’s right the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and it was more awesome then my wildest dreams! The great thing about the rides at Disney is waiting in the queue are almost as good as the rides themselves. The waiting areas are so elaborately themed, just checking everything out is so cool. After the actual ride it spills into a Pirates merchandise store, which has everything you can by that’s related to pirates. I restrained myself like a good boy, but sure will be hitting it again with my 40% staff holiday discount!

2nd Dec Had to wake up at 6 in the morning to head to the Studios for my first day introduction. Basically we started with a 4 hour in depth tour of the Disney MGM Studios theme park, rode a few rides and got to know the ins and outs of the park. From here we had to do some really boring training exercises on the computer, snore snore. But it was here that I got to finally find out where I am working ... THE GREAT MOVIE RIDE! Basically I am a tour guide that drives a tram through a number of movie scenes recreated with animatronics actors (and some real) Look HERE for some more info on the ride. If you look at the gangster photo there, that’s my costume. After the computer training was over, we went to the costuming place and got fitted into our costumes.

3rd Dec Started at the Great Movie Ride today, had to wake up at 5 to catch the bus :(. We started off with a basic walking tour of the attraction inside and out and got to learn some interesting facts about the ride itself (Which I will share with you each post). We then had a look at what to do when controlling the line and ushering. Our trainers then took us through a show with us, showing how it was done (with a 42 page script I have to memorize eek!) Then we did a lot of the usual training stuff where things are located, procedures stuff like that which I won’t bore you with. Then went home and did some washing as I was out of clothes.

4th Dec Another 5am start to get me to work. Today was pretty cool though, started out before the park opened blocking the scene we have to do with the bandit. Its all has to be pretty tight as we are working with guns (not real, but do fire so still dangerous) and fire for this, which looks really awesome. After this we got to learn about the vehicles we have to drive. We needed to learn all the points where to shift speed, where to stop, microphone stuff and checking the vehicles on and off etc etc. But this mostly just involved driving the trams round and round and round the ride which was pretty fun. Also did a lot more procedural stuff, which there is a lot of and need to remember. Don’t start till 12 tomorrow so I get to sleep in!

Anyway I have to go as I am getting kicked off of the computer. Have fun everybody!

EDIT: Woops I forgot to give me Great Movie Ride fact of the day, well here it is:

GREAT MOVIE RIDE FUN FACT: 'Snake' the audio animatronics bandit in the western scene is actually wearing a female hat. When he was informed of this fact, he didn't take it too well and started to break down regularly.

I Have Arrived!

Hey Everybody

I have arrived in Orlando after over 23 hours of traveling. Haven't been able to post on here till today as I needed my Disney ID till today. Now to what has happened over the last few days...

28th Nov
Traveled by a plane over here, not too much to say about that I was on a plane, exciting stuff I know. Traveled and hour from Adelaide to Melbourne, 14 hours from Melbourne to Los Angeles and 4 and a half hours from Los Angeles to Orlando. Arrived in Orlando with a large group of Aussies and we had to wait for someone at the airport, who turned up and was the most cheerful person in the universe! Now something that’s easy to deal with not having slept for 24 hours. We got to Vista Way, my new home that houses a lot of the people on the college program. There are 3 other housing estates for us, but Vista is the main one. After locating my room and meeting one of the housemates that were there (who managed to say about 3 words to me, he hasn't said anything since) went to Wal-Mart, which is a massive store with just about anything you want there. After buying some supplies from there, went back to the apartment and went to sleep.

29th Nov
Started the morning off with a lot of form signing and getting housing ID's done, really boring stuff. Still hadn't got our Disney IDs so we couldn't go to the parks yet, I also have no idea where I am working. After this I met some more of my housemates that weren't there the night before, the others seem pretty nice and welcoming and say more then 3 words to me. Had lunch at a place called Wendy's, which is kinda like a McDonalds. Got a small meal there which is about the same size as a large at McDonalds in Australia, its no wonder everyone over here is overweight. After this we had a housing meeting, where we got told about the apartments and what to do, more boring stuff!

30th Nov
Actually got to go to one of the parks today! We got taken to the Epcot theme park, got loaded off the bus and brought to a room with tables and forms we had to sign. Spent about 3 hours signing forms before they took us home ... we weren't allowed into the park, which was mean. Here we were signing forms, we could see Epcot out the window but we couldn't touch. I did get to find out where I am working though. I am working at the Disney-MGM studios in operations, should be fun!

1st Dec
Had to wake up at 6 to go to 'Traditions' which is an introduction training course about Disney. So we got to learn all about the background to Disney, their history, there rules and regulations and all that stuff, which was kind of cool. We then had a small meeting with the people working in Disney-MGM Studios, where I had hoped I'd find out where exactly I am working, but no. I do this tomorrow. I have to wake up early again tomorrow to have a tour of the park and get my costume I'll be wearing fitted, so excited about that.

Right now I think I might be hitting the Magic Kingdom hopefully.
I'll catch you cats later
Tristan

Almost time.

Howdy guys.

Well its almost time I left austraila. Sorry I haven't posted for a while, been busy with uni and getting ready for this big trip. At the time of writing this I have exactly twenty four hours before I catch a flight to Melbourne. From there I head out to Los Angeles and then onto Orlando and disney world. Yay! I am pretty sure that my phone is still able to send emails while I am over there, so iIshould be able to keep this blog pretty updated from now on. I also bought a nifty camera for my trip away, so assuming that I can get access to a computer I will post some photos on here as well. If you want to get in contact with me, I am hoping I will be able to send and recieve emails on my phone, the account I am using will be Tristan.Lintern@gmail.com. If you want to email me, contact me there and I should get back as soon as I can.

Thats it from me for now.
Toora!

How Awesome is This!

Greetings Friends!

Last night I got the opportunity to see one of my all time favourite artists in concert, Ben Folds. He has been touring Australia playing with the various symphony orchestras. I was lucky enough to see the final performance with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra as well as I think it is the last show of the Australian Tour. It was my first time seeing Ben Folds live and it was freeking awesome! Just him on his own would have been enough but having the orchestra backing him just added so much. There was a pretty cool cross section with the audience, on the one had you had the Ben Folds fans, casual, young indie fans, then you had the ASO fans, older dressy 'high-class' people. I wonder if the latter knew exactly what they were getting into with all the 'sh*ts' and 'fu*ks' :P (during 'Rocking the Suburbs' he got the entire audience to yell out 'Fu*k!' quite weird yelling that out to the ASO :P) And oh how the audience went off when he broke out into 'Adelaide'.

But that being said, onto the purpose of this post. I have mentioned before that my all time favourite song is 'Such Great Heights' by the Postal Service. In my patented concert debrief of going through and listening to the songs and serching the bands website, I came across on You Tube a cover that aired on jTV of 'Such Great Heights' by Ben. I just thought it was so awesome I had to share it with the world. Check it out I dare you!

The wonders of technology!!!

Hello reader!

Due to whe wonders of technology i an writing this blog on my mobile phone on the bus as I travel into Adelaide. How cool is that. Whats not cool is the guy I am sitting next to who insists on opening his legs so wide to take up most of the seat leaving one of my butt cheeks teetaring over the edge. What is even worse is he is listening to music, through the speakers on his phone and he happens to be playing nickelback.

This surely is worse then hell!!!

Disney FAQ

Now I've mucked around with that I can do with this blog thing, I should really post something relating to the reason I set it up in the first place, my impending trip to Walt Disney World. I've had a few people quiz me about the trip, why I am going, how I got the job etc, so I am writing this to clear up any confusions. Because of my overwhelming creativity, I'm going to do this in the form of a FAQ, how cool am I! Here goes...

Where are you going?
I am going to America, more specifically Florida, more specifically Orlando in Florida. It is here I will be going to work at Walt Disney World (not to be confused with Disneyland which is in California, Disney World is the bigger one, Disneyland could fit into Disney World's car park.)

When are you going?
I start over there on November 28th 2006 and finish up February 16th 2007 .

Where are you going to stay while you are over there?
Disney have a number of apartment complexes in which the 'cast members' (a term for people employed by Disney) partaking of the College program and/or International program get to stay at. Although it isn't free, it only costs Approx. US$70 a week, which isn't bad as the biggest expense overseas is the accommodation.

How are you getting over there?
A company by the name of DK Australia is helping us with the paperwork, organising flights, visas etc. We still have to pay for the flights and everything over there, but they are trying to organise discounted flights.

Tell us a bit about Disney World?
Well Disney World is home to 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, a nigh time area, 21 resorts, 6 golf courses and much much more. All in all a pretty cool place.

Where will you be working while in Disney World?
I don't know exactly where I will be working, we were given a list at the interview where we put down options of what jobs are available. What I have ended up getting is Attractions/Operations. This job (from what they've told me) is getting put on a ride, looking after/cleaning it, taking tickets, doing a memorised spiel, it really depends on where they put you and what attraction your on. I guess I can give you a more detailed description of what I am doing when I get over there.

How did you get a job working at Disney World!?
I basically answered and email that was sent out to all the students at Unisa, I had some friends who did the program last yeah and highly recommended it so I thought I'd check it out. I attended an information/interview session with about 30 other people where they talked to us about Disney World and the International Program itself, then got interviewed where it was basically just getting to know who we are. Two weeks later I got a call saying I got the job.

What are some of the advantages you get from working at Disney World?
Well you get free entry into all the theme parks there! That's the big one, as well as discounts galore whilst in the park itself.

What ride are you most looking forward to going on?
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN OF COURSE!!!

Will you miss us?
...No

Well that's all I can really think of at the moment, if I think of more I'll add them, especially if you bug me with more questions. Right now methinks it's time for bed.
Goodnight Internet!

Top 5 Songs of the Week

Here's the top 5 songs I am listening to this week:

1. We Are What You Say - Sufjan Stevens
Yes I'm starting off with Sufjan again. This song comes from one of his earlier albums, 'A Sun Came' and I love it. It blends all these instruments from different places all over the world and it sounds awesome.

2. Such Great Height - The Postal Service
First heard this song on the 'Garden State' trailer and fell in love with it. What followed was about a month of scouring the internet to find the song and who it was done by. I did and it has been my all time favourite song ever since.

3. Snakes on a Plane (Bring It) - Cobra Starship
I'm putting this song on here as it is one that I have been listening to a lot. It is such a cheesy cheesy song but thats what makes it so completely awesome, just like the movie it was written for.

4. How to Save a Life - The Fray
This is another song I have been listening to constantly over the past few weeks. It was used in an episode of 'Scrubs' that aired on Channel 7 which has so far become my favourite episode of Season 5. It was one of those really moving episodes that Scrubs do every seasons and I think this song contributed a lot to that.

5. Down Under (Acoustic) - Colin Hay
I played this song on the radio the other night as a tribute to Steve Irwin who passed away this week, so I thought it would be fitting to put in my top 5. Great Australian song and done even better with Colin's solo acoustic style. (I'm linking it to the Men at Work version, but see if you can find the Colin Hay one)

Student Radio - Update

Student Radio

Hello All

I haven't posted for a bit at the moment as time has been escaping me. That and I have been having a bit of trouble with the Blog as I am trying to set it up so I can email my posts in from my phone and can add new posts in my boring bus trips to uni everyday. At the moment I am trying to see more of what I can do with this blog and add some audio. Fingers crossed this works. What I am putting on here will be shows from a radio program I do on Unisa Student Radio. It's called movie talk where funly enough we talk about movies! The one I will be putting up is the first from our longer show, and I may put up some of our previous shorter ones, but I'm not sure yet as I'm just beginning in the world of radio and some of them aren't all that exciting, but anyway I enjoy doing it. So if all goes well what you will see below is a player with my radio show.

Toodles!

Scrubs

Hello The Internet
Just wanting to explore the limits of blogging and what exactly I can do, so I'm doing this post to see if I can put YouTube material on. What you hopefully should be seeing is a scene from my favourite television show, 'Scrubs'. Fingers crossed it works!!!

Top 5 Songs of the Week

Here is my top 5 songs I am listening to this week:

1. Chicago - Sufjan Stevens
Sufjan (Yes we are on a first name basis) in my hero, such a unique artist and great fun to listen to. This is just a nice little song I like from his 'Illinois' album. Some nice alternate versions of this one on his latest release 'The Avalanche'.

2. The Good That Won't Come Out - Rilo Kiley
A friend put me onto these guys and always like to listen to it. Jenny Watson has a great voice and love listening to it.

3. Time Running - Tegan and Sara
Who said chicks can't rock. Tegan and Sara are great, and this song showcases just how good they can rock out.

4. Ride - Cary Brothers
A nice slow, haunting song. Appearing on the soundtrack to Zack Braff's new movie, 'The Last Kiss' (see last post). They also had a song on the soundtrack to his last film 'Garden State'. Check them out, good stuff!

5. I Remember - Damien Rice
Damien Rice is simply amazing. 'O' is quite exhausting to listen to as he puts so much emotion and so much of himself into this album. This song is a perfect reflection of that.

Zach Braff

Just thought I'd just put a little advertisement for a cool movie and a cool blog. Both are credited to the actor, Zach Braff from the T.V series 'Scrubs' and wrote, directed and starred in the movie 'Garden State'. The trailer I am showing is related to his new movie coming out called 'The Last Kiss', which looks like it would be pretty good. So check both of them out. I COMMAND YOU!

TRISTAN'S BLOG!!!

Hello All

Yay I am now a blogger! Being the latest fad out there I thought I'd follow the crowd (I need something to do between watching The O.C and wearing my stripey polo shirt with the collar up). I tried that stupid MySpace crap, but that place is way too confusing!

Well basically I have set up this blog as a way of mass communicating my adventures as I head over the the U.S and work for a few months at Walt Disney World in Florida. It sounds a lot easier then just mass emailing everyone I know while I am over there, so here I am. I am setting it up now as a way of getting familiar with the whole blogging thing as I am still new to it, and still dont know fully how it works. I guess what will come is a load of stuff thats happening with the application process and getting all my crap together for it.

Thats all I am gonna say on the matter now, and will post a more a bit later, maybe mention a bit about the interview and my nightmare day trying to get my passport application in. Look forward to that! (or not, I really dont care)

Toodles!

Tristan
