Spring Break is upon us, and unfortunately for me, it does not me vacation for me. ;) I can definitely feel that there are more people in the parks. More people means more angry people, more children meltdowns, and all the while more people that are truly happen to be in the "Happiest Place of Earth ( Read more... )

My typical days off are Sunday and Monday. Yesterday, we spent the entire day at Universal Studios and had such a great time. Crowds weren't bad, we got on every ride, minus the roller coasters since Duncan refuses to try. He did go on the Doctor Doom Fear Fall though, so he gets major points for that. He even said that it wasn't as bad as he ( Read more... )

I have been lucky enough to set up to back to back Meet and Greets for internships of the "training" sort these past 2 days. All in all, the internships are so perfect for me that I'd be equally as excited if either one extended an offer to me. The resumes from the internships haven't even been sent their way yet, they'll get there on "Monday" or ( Read more... )

Today was week 4 of Disney classes. I can't believe time is going by so fast! This morning in "People Management" we had a speaker from Employee Relations. It did make me realize how interested in the investigative side of HR I am. However, to do that, I'd have to completely reinvent my degree and plan. Maybe someday when I have a full-time ( Read more... )

I don't have time for a long update, as I'm planning to leave for work in 10 minutes, but I wanted to give everyone a quick update. Work has been going well. Last week, I literally stared at the dessert buffet for about 30 out of my 40some hours, and I haven't been there as much this week so it makes shifts a bit more productive. Yesterday, I ( Read more... )

Today despite my stomachache from eating to much real food yesterday, I got up to go to People Management. I knew I had to because today was the day that people from the training department were coming in and I was determined to find a lead on this PI. I was interested in the entire presentation, but I could tell that my fellow classmates were ( Read more... )

Sorry I've been MIA, I really want to keep updating this, but this crazy stomach bug that has been going around Disney/Hollywood & Vine has finally gotten to me. I worked 2 1/2 days with a terrible stomachache. I ended up having to call in sick for that next shift (and I haven't called in for work in...years??) and I spent the next day in bed/on ( Read more... )

Exploring People Management: Today we had 3 HR panelists from various recruiting roles comes in and discuss how Disney does recruiting. One was international recruiting for the International College Programs, one was from Professional Internships, and one was from domestic recruiting for the parks. One thing is for sure, Disney promotes from ( Read more... )

Hey everyone! It's been a crazy couple days. The McCarthy's are visiting and we've been spending lots of time in the parks. I just wanted to let everyone know that we're doing great! We spent some late night hours at Magic Kingdom on Leap Day since it was open 24 hours. We drank around the World Showcase in Epcot today. Professional ( Read more... )
