Training has began and I am already
exhausted from working 9 hour days and only getting home at midnight. But
that's my life right now and I don’t mind having some leisure time before I
have to head to work.
Monday was an early start and that was our
Orientation called “On with the Show” at Hollywood Studios. My group and I had
two wonderful leaders named Jon and Dylan. They took us around Hollywood
studios and gave us some historical background about the park. They also
pointed out where things are located so we can tell the guests. While on our
tour we got to ride “The Great Movie Ride” and also walk through the star wars
area. Both of these things are not my favorite but AC was available so it was
worth it. We then headed to the computer lab and had a presentation on park
safety. Following the presentation we had some online learning to do for our
given role. My online component consisted of learning about food temperatures
and serving alcohol. The videos were very helpful. After all that was completed
we headed to costuming to get our costumes (aka uniforms). That finished our
day.
That evening we headed to one of my friends
houses and we had our last group hang out. We watched Tarzan, had pizza, played
cards and just enjoyed spending time with everyone. This was the last day
everyone would be together as our schedules are all different because of the
training we have to have for our roles.
Tuesday was the first day of training. As I
am working in the Sunset Complex, there are 5 different locations that I can
work at. They include an all American grill (Rosie’s), a pizza place (Eddie’s),
an outdoor marker (Produce), a BBQ place (Fairfax Fair) and an ice cream place
(Hollywood Scoops). All of my training is in the evening as they are showing me
how to close the area as well. I started my training in Rosie’s at the back
with my trainer Robby. The back is
cooking the food and assembling the food on trays. I wasn't to excited about
this but I am trying to think of the positive. I met many new people and a lot
of Canadians, who were are really nice. My trainer Robby was also very nice and
very helpful in showing us the ropes. It was a long day but I survived.
Yesterday, I was training in Rosie’s front.
This includes cash, making the drinks, and checking the orders and passing it
to the guests. I really liked working in the front. It was always busy and it
felt like time was going by fast. Since I have experience working with cash and
a cash register, that part was easy. I just needed to understand what all the buttons
mean. As usual, I love doing cash. Being behind the doors and serving the
guests their food can be a bit challenging at times but its part of the job and
providing our guests with an amazing experience. It brought me back to working
at BBW and what I have learned from my retail position.
That's all for me now. I start my training today
at Eddie’s so I will be learning the ropes their with my trainer Joe. More to
come in my next blog.
Until then,
xoxo
Michelle
