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.
