See Ya' Real Soon!

In just 2 short weeks, I will be starting the adventure I have been dreaming about since I was 12 years old. I never thought that I would be at this point. All that's left to do is finalize my packing list, DORMS, and actually pack everything up. WHAT!? It still doesn't feel real. It probably won't feel real until I watch my family drive away. That is going to be extremely difficult. Leaving for my first year of college was one thing, but now I'm going across the country! I still can't believe that this is happening. Thank you to everyone who has ever taken the time to read my blog. To anyone reading this now, just wait, because the adventure is only beginning.

New Hire Paperwork

A few days ago I finally received my new hire paperwork from Disney! I was starting to get a little anxious because all of my roommates had received their paperwork a few days before I did. Of course bad thoughts crept into my head and I was terrified that Disney was going to forget about me, but they didn't! Even though I was freaking out about not getting the papers, this allowed me to do some research so I could fill out my papers as easily as possible. There were a few things that some people wished they new before starting their own paperwork.
  1. Use Internet Explorer: A lot of people were having trouble signing and submitting their papers using other web browsers. Internet Explorer seemed to work best for everyone, including myself. If you an't get Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox were found to work pretty well too.
  2. Download the Adobe installments that Disney sends you in the emails: Disney already did all the work for you, so just click it and let it download. 
  3. Read or at least skim everything: There's a lot of information jam packed into those papers. It's always best to read the employee manuals for any job.
  4. There are 2 emails: Disney will send you 2 emails. The first will have your username and Adobe installments, and the second will have your password. If for some reason you don't get two emails, call or email recruiting.
Although I was just reading and signing papers, I could still feel the Disney Magic. I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that I will be working for this amazing company in just a few weeks. Only 19 days until I start the journey of a lifetime! Have a magical day :)
