Day 3!

Hello All!

Well, I'm again exhausted...  Today was a great day, but I am tired, and since my wake-up call is scheduled for 4:15am, I'll keep it quick.

Today was Traditions.  It's basically the 'Welcome to the Disney Company' training.  Although, because this is the cruise line, they added some cruise stuff.  It was company history, cruise history, Disney cruise history, and basically what's expected of you as a Disney cast/crew member.  There are a few surprises thrown in there, but I won't give them away in case anyone who reads this is ever going to eventually participate in Traditions, I wouldn't want to ruin the magic!

We did get our name tags - which is a really important part of being a Disney team member.  Every person who works for Disney has one, from Bob Iger on down.  On the cruise line name tags is my name and country.  What I love about the name tag is that it's just a first name.  Disney is a first name company, just as Walt wanted.  Everyone is called by their first name.  So if I ever got to meet Bob Iger, I would call him Bob, which is pretty cool when you think about it.

After Traditions, a few of us headed over to Epcot for a few hours.  We did Test Track, Mission Space (my favorite!), then just walked around World Showcase.  It was crazy busy though, because the Food & Wine Festival is currently going on.  I would love to come back someday and really go through the festival and try a bunch of different kinds of food, there just wasn't time today.

So, then it was back to the rooms and I had to re-pack my duffel bags because they somehow managed to become almost totally undone in the three days I've been here.  Which would be odd, except it's me so it's not...

Anywho, so now I'm just sitting here, watching the Dodgers lose on national television, and getting super excited about tomorrow.  I don't think I'll sleep very much tonight... I'm way too excited!

I don't know when I will be able to post next, because I don't think that I'll have internet for a few days, but I will continue to write and take pictures so when I finally do get internet, I'll post then.

Wish me luck - tomorrow I embark on the Disney Fantasy!!!
