I'm so sorry I've left you guys hanging, but here is an update!
I figure it's okay to do a little bragging on here, I've had some exciting things happen lately.
A couple weeks ago I got a "Great Service Fanatic" award. These are little certificates you get for doing something great for a guest that another cast member or manager notices and wants to recognize you for. I got mine for going above and beyond for a guest by setting up their villa with all the baby accessories they had ordered for their arrival the next day. The guest was extremely pleased when they arrived. It felt good to get noticed for working hard.
Also I got moved to a different role. I am now part of the curbside team! I was excited to get asked if I wanted to be trained. They do not usually train cast members in the College Program for this role. So it felt good when my manager said I was at the top of his list to be trained! With being on the curbside, I greet guests when they arrive at the resort and escort them to the front desk or take guests up to the club level if needed. It is a lot of fun and a much more positive experience with the guests for the most part. So now I've been trained in three different roles which has been awesome! It's awesome that I'm learning something new all the time. This new role has helped me start recognizing and learning different kinds of cars (Dad, Brian, Scott, and Nick- you guys should be proud) haha.
Other than that I don't have a whole lot to brag about other than receiving compliments from my managers saying I'm doing a great job. Also, we had a special guest the other day and the head of the secret service told me I was doing a great job =)
Last week I got to see my parents, which was wonderful!! It felt sooo good to have a "mom hug"! Also Nick came to visit! It was his first time to Disney World, so that was lots of fun! He got to meet Mickey Mouse and go to three out of the four parks! I can't wait for them to come back!
Overall, I'm really loving my job. The people I work with are wonderful and really make it easy to be there. Time is really starting to pick up. I can't believe March is almost over. The spring break season has begun, there are sooo many people here! (I hate the traffic) Disney is wonderful, but I find it very refreshing to get away from the Mickey ears sometimes! Being here definitely makes me miss and appreciate Bloomington. I love where I'm from and being on this adventure is a wonderful experience, but I'm glad I have so many good things to go home to!!
