Week 2

Another week down! I am just starting my third week here at Walt Disney World, and let me tell you... Week 2 was AMAZING! The words that best describe this week are: overwhelming, intense, stressful, eye- opening, wonderful, and magical. I have never been so exhausted but excited in my life. 
The start of the week was all about training. I won't go into details, but I will tell you that they were crazy. This was most definitely the intense part of my week. Although it was a lot of hard work, it was totally worth it, because I can officially say that I am an Entertainment Cast Member. There were many qualifications that needed to be met before I could officially make this statement, but I passed and can now proudly announce it. I am an Entertainment Cast Member :)
Immediately after training, I was thrown right in. Disney does not waste any time. I love my job. Although it was extremely overwhelming and terrifying at first, I am starting to feel more comfortable. My co-workers are amazing, and are always willing to help because they were in my shoes not too long ago. 
I remember thinking before I came here about how I was not going to be like everyone else and forget to update this blog. I thought that I would update this blog everyday about my adventures. Boy, was I wrong. Something that has taken me a long time to understand and appreciate is that it's okay to NOT know everything. There are too many good surprises that ARE worth the wait. I completely understand the craving to know every last detail about was happens on this day and what happens on that day. You feel like you need to learn everything before you get here but you don't. Soon enough you will be checking in, going to Traditions, and starting training. You will eventually learn everything you need to know. Don't panic and stress about it before hand, or else you won't have anything to look forward to once you get here. Just trust that everything will happen when it's meant to. Like my Dad always says, just ride the wave and see what shore it takes you too.
