Week 1

Week 1:          Date:   January 9-15

Summation:

This week was my first week so nothing culinary really happened, just a bunch of training. I was so excited when Katie and I got to the Disney Welcome Center to do out paperwork. It took all day just to do a little paperwork because there were so many people coming into the college internship program. The WORST part about this day was coming into a roach infested apartment with greasy carpets, dirty furniture, and dirty bathrooms. I will confess I did not sleep much that night because I was afraid that roaches were going to crawl in my bed. The roaches aren't as bad but they are still in our kitchen. The next day was our day off but unfortunately, we didn’t have our free Disney passes yet so I got to know my roommates and hung out with Katie and Austin. On Wednesday was our traditions class where we supported the “Disney look” and learned everything you need to know about Walt Disney and his creations. This too was an all-day event with the highlight being towards the end when Mickey Mouse himself came through the door to deliver our name tags to us. I was so jealous because he hugged Alicia! Thursday was another training day but my roommate, Elvira, Katie, and I were able to go to Hollywood studios for an hour and ride the Rockin’ Rollercoaster! This is my favorite ride and it was completely worth the 45 minute wait! The next day was my day off as well as Elvira so we went to the Magic Kingdom with her friend Jacob and then Katie met up with us later. Saturday was my On Boarding training; which was just my training and tour within the Yacht and Beach club. I was really excited because I got to meet two of the sous chefs for the kitchen I work in, the Captains Grille. All in all, besides the roaches and disgusting apartment, I had a good week. The best part is probably going to the parks and the fact I have two awesome roommates; and because there are only two in this three bedroom apartment, we each get our own room.
