Star Of The Day

I finally finished my three weeks working at the All Star Music. It got better after getting used to the new atmosphere and I met many new people. This time I worked with many more college program students than I was used to at the Polynesian. I also ran into someone that i graduated high school with while i was working. He was enjoying his vacation while staying at All Star Music. My last day at the All Star, which was Saturday, I received Star of the Day for my outstanding work that i had been doing. With that i said goodbye to the All Star and started my new adventure at Magic Kingdom. I work in tomorrowland at the Noodle Terrace Station. I think its the most fun that I have so far working. There is so much guest interaction and i have met so many new people. The other day I was doing guest relations for the noodle station by working the coloring table and hula hooping with willing guests. There was a little girl who spoke almost no English but we still found a way to communicate and her parents couldn't get her to leave me because we were having so much fun. Seeing people so happy and getting to put a smile on a little crying boys face is an amazing feeling. Well its time for me to get some rest because with the beautiful weather brings lots of guests, so we are all experiencing 50 hour work weeks.

Sunshine State

The weather that us all College Program kids have been waiting for and is finally here. We all are trying to get as much sun as we can so people actually believe us when we say we have been here for two Months. I can't believe it either, this means I am at the halfway point in my program and i will be home in 2 months. I have made incredible friends and will be sad when i don't get to see them everyday. But as you might know I have been working at the All-Star music for almost 3 weeks now. It is massive compared to the Polynesian and it is so different. It has its good and bad points and it was hard being thrown into it with little guidance. The place needs getting used to and its good but I still love the Polynesian more. This will be my last week at the All Star Music and next week starts a new adventure. Sadly I will not be going back to the Polynesian yet, but I have been Deployed to the Magic Kingdom. I will be selling food in tomorrowland. This means new people, new managers, and a new costume (not sure if i am excited about this, polyester isn't really my thing.) I feel like everything has been chaotic lately with spring break everyone has been working over 40 hours a week and many of us have been getting sick. Not used to the crazy hours and limited amount of sleep the doctors office has seen many college program students, I myself got a sinus infection. We are all adapting now and with the beautiful weather everyone is starting to feel a little bit better!

Sad News

It is not really all that sad but yesterday i found out I am being deployed. This happens to all Cast Members in Food and Beverage at some point. Deployment is when they move you temporarily to another place, it could last from one to five weeks. I am sad to say goodbye to my family at the Polynesian and I will miss it so much. Next Week i start working at the All Star Music resort, which will be a complete change. The all star resorts are massive so it will be a different atmosphere than the one i'm used to at the Polynesian. My managers are sad to see me go, but hopefully i will be back in a week.
