My last post ended with us about to head to Downtown Disney; where we had a browse of all the shops and saw endless amounts of things I want to buy (including some very sweet treats from Goofy's Candy Co)! We went for dinner at T-Rex which is a prehistoric adventure!
On Friday we had our traditions class at Disney University where we officially became part of the Walt Disney Company! We had various training sessions, including it being drilled into us that 'SafeD begins with me' received our main gate passes so we now get to go into the theme parks for free! During Traditions we went into Magic Kingdom and I can honestly say I had the biggest smile on my face, seeing Cinderella's Castle again and immediately feeling the happiness of all the guests! We also got to meet the one & only Mickey Mouse as he came into our class to give us our namebadges! Traditions class really struck home how lucky I am to have this experience; working in the happiest place on earth, where dreams come true! After traditions we went into Magic Kingdom, took lots of photos, went for food in Tomorrowland (where I would be working) and watched the Main Street Electrical Parade, Celebrate the Magic and Wishes fireworks. I got emotional at the fireworks, I literally am just so happy and excited to be here!! :) I also bought my first bit of merchandise - an autograph book and Minnie Mouse pen!
On Saturday we went to Blizzard Beach water park which was so fun! Think I'm building up my tan! Even got to meet Goofy! Then in the evening we went to Hollywood Studios and went on our favourite rides; Tower of Terror and Rock 'n Roller coaster, met Buzz and Woody and watched Fantasmic! Amazing show!
Sunday was my first morning of work, we were shown around Magic Kingdom and taught lots of hidden secrets and details about the park; so much detail has gone into it, incredible. Then after this we all went to Animal Kingdom - was boiling hot and so sunny! Had a top highlight and met Doug and Russell from Up - literally could have cried with happiness! 
Went on lots of rides and on the safari. I was so tired by the end though as I'd been up since 5am for training! Therefore, we went home and had dinner at Applebee's which is across the road from Vista!
Yesterday was my first full day of training; starting 9.30- 6. Was such a good day! Got my costume which isn't too bad in all honesty, in comparison to some....photos to follow! Got trained around all the different shops and outdoor carts I could be working on, did some e-learning and had a manager leadership meeting. Everyone was so friendly and Tomorrowland seems like a real fun place to work! My trainer couldn't believe I'd never had peanut butter (as obviously it's such a massive popular food over here; peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!) and she bought me a Reece's Peanut Butter Cup; it was AMAZING, tasted so nice! In the evening a big group of us from Vista went to an 'all you can eat' buffet. I was literally overwhelmed by the amount of food there was! I even had candyfloss!
Today was another day at Disney University and lots of e-learning and training, including being shown how to use the tills! 
Another trip to Walmart, so I now no longer just had porridge and lettuce to eat! Bought my first American poptarts - cookie dough flavour, YUM!
I am having the best time in my Disney adventure! :)
