Well Guys it was an interesting year and on the second my last day of the disney internship will arrive and it will be time for me to go home to Colorado and finish college. From August until December I have been through some interesting changes and and fun times that I will remember forever. Some of them will be good memories some of them will be bad.
I thought it was a good idea to tell you all some interesting things I have learned during the disney internship just in case any of you have decided to try this out when you go to college and I can warn you about them.
-Odds are you will have roommates who hate disney and only came here because they wanted Disney on their resume or because they just wanted to get away from their parents.
-Odds are you will have roommates who like to party and you will be the nomad of the entire apartment room, hanging on the computer or just working like a dog.
-Odds are some of yoru roommates will hate cartoons and you wonder why the hell they do.
-When you get a pamplet about starting off for the disney internship and there is a statement in there that says. "Don't worry about bringing a car we have excellent transportation here to transport you to and from work" What they really mean is "Please bring a car, transportation sucks here," I had to arrive for work at Typhoon Lagoon an hour early because that is the earliest it would be there by.
-Cleaning the broiler is just as gross as it sounds.
-NOthing is more hilarious than hearing a drunk guy whose real name is Simba sing Haukuna Matata.
-If its raining outside all the guests at Typhoon lagoon will run to the Leaning Palms for food and one of them will want coffee and even though they just got wet they will not walk a few feet in the rain to get sugar and will want their money back.
-If you have to clean something by the end of the day and your break is late make sure you give the cleaning duties to someone who knows how to clean what you are doing otherwise you will return to find that the person has started a fire in the fryers.:rolleyes: and I was only gone for 15 minutes.
-You will have the same hours every day at Typhoon Lagoon.
-Your hours will be scattered every day at Magic Kingdom
-Even though you work on the east side of the Magic Kingdom you will never be able to work Toon Town. :(
-Having the park to yourself in the morning is nice.
-Watching people run to the dumbo ride at first opening is funny.
-watching cast members ride Segways is even more funny.
-Disney characters are people too. :D
-The Magic Kingdom tunnel is very big, when you first arrive you will feel like you need to be accompanied by an adult just to find the place you need to meet your trainer at.
-Cinderellas castle is smaller than it looks, its only 180 feet. Why? Because if it was 200 tthen it would have to have an airplane light and that would look wrong.
-Having the freedom to visit the parks when you please is nice.
-Even though Scuttles landing only has cream cheese flavored preztels which are very good by the way people will still come for regular preztels and you will have to explain to them that they are cream cheese and they will give you the most disgusted look ever even though they have never tried them.
-One of your roomies will join toon zone but she will never post.
-you will crave ice cream when you work at the ice cream store,
-Don't eat any food you are making, you will get fired for taking even one bite.
-It will only be 68 degrees outside but guests will still flock around you for hot chocolate.
Well I think thats everything, I may have missed something. but any way it was a nice experience becasue I wanted to see what it was like to work for Disney. The managers were cool but very strict so don't get on their bad side. I might work there again one day but not in food in beverage. So if that does happen hopefully I'll run into whoever does it. Now I cannot wait to go home and return to my normal life with friends and playing in the snow. :anime: :D
