My DCP Journey: The Next Phase of Disney

Well everyone it has been quite an interesting week here in Florida. Working as always and my Disney Class also began this week. But the big news is I have officially found out where I will be moving too for the next phase of my Disney journey. I am very happy to announce I will be staying at Hollywood Studios and moving to attractions. I will be working in animation courtyard. This is where all of the Disney junior characters and the little mermaid show is. Although I am sad to be leaving sunset (technically), I am still going to be picking up shifts there so it's not goodbye forever!!

My Disney class began on Thursday. I am enrolled in Creativity and Innovation. The class is about the elements of being creative and how creativity is going to continue to grow as the years go on. The class is also every Thursday morning for 4 hours. My instructors name is Ellen Tetlow and she has been working at Disney for 17 years. She began working part time in MK but has since moved into other roles, which has lead her to teaching different course for Disney. Although this class is not something I would take at home, I'm excited to do be challenged. It is going to be a lot of work and I am really going to have to think outside the box.

After class on Thursday Sandra and I went to HS because they were having a cast party for all the cast members. There was a special lanyard you needed to have to get in so we went to get those first. They held the party at club villain which is at the sunset showcase. They provided food and drinks and we were able to take pictures with all the Disney villains. The food was actually pretty good. They had chicken, sausage, beans, rice and potatoes. They also had a huge spread of drinks as well. For dessert they had red velvet cupcake and a chocolate pudding. We also had the opportunity to meet the Queen of Hearts, Maleficent, Cruella de Ville and Evil Queen. We had a blast and we spent about 3 hours at the party.

After that we headed over to Epcot and made our first attempt at the food and wine festival. Sandra really enjoyed being there and not working it. We also went and visited Alex at his work location. We got passports and we went to so many places. But we didn't even do half of them.

A few highlights of the places I went to are:

the mac and cheese at farm fresh (it was delicious and I wish it came in a bigger portion)
Schofferhoffer Lemon beer in Germany
Beef stew with mashed potatoes from Belgium (it reminded me of beef bourguignon
that my mom makes)

I will have to take pictures next time so you can see how delicious it looks.

I can't wait to go back and try over delicious dishes. My goal is to have eaten something from every country at food and wine. But I have to pace myself with that!

That's all from me! More updates to come next week.

Xoxo
