New Disney Cast Member

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Ahh! I can't believe it! I am officially, officially, a Cast Member at Disney World!! I'm completely finished with all of the prerequisites for beginning my position!
Picture
This morning, I drove down to the Casting Center and completed the rest of my paperwork. The Disney Company does not mess around when it comes to forms, that's for sure. I had to sign a paper in person that acknowledged that I was committing to accepting my position, and there was a confidentiality form to sign (sorry, no Disney secrets for my readers!)... I had to sign off on a background check and everything as well.

I also had to have my fingerprints taken, and then I got my picture taken for my photo I.D., which was awesome! It felt like a huge step in this whole casting process. While I didn't get the I.D. yet, much to the disappointment of the twins (who really wanted to see the picture), I felt good just knowing that my I.D. is being made.

​I absolutely love everything about the Disney Company. I mean, even just going to the Casting Center is a truly magical experience. From the "Alice in Wonderland" door knobs on the front door, to the pictures of Cast Members that line the halls, you feel at home when you walk through the building. I cannot even begin to describe how excited I am to begin my new job at Disney World.

Now I just have to work on controlling my emotions! Every single time I've ever been to Disney, including the three times I've been there since we moved to Florida (to see my friend from NY at Downtown Disney, for my interview, and today), I've cried either on the way there or once I stepped into the Parks. I just become so overwhelmed and can't contain my excitement and joy... it truly is the Happiest Place on Earth in my eyes! However, I don't want to be crying every single day on my way into work, so hopefully I can get some control over myself.

My mom found a list of the best five things and the worst five things about being a Disney Cast Member. I read through both lists, and I have to say that nothing seems to be bad about working there at all. Even something ridiculous, like the fact that you'll see all of the garbage that goes out to the dump, could never damper the happiness that I feel in becoming a Cast Member. I can't wait to go to my day of orientation where I'll learn about the Disney Company, and then to begin my work the following week!

Thank you so much for your continued support! I look forward to sharing more stories about my experience with foster care, and hopefully hearing from readers who have questions or similar stories to share. I'm always willing to answer questions and hear about other experiences! Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

Taylor, so happy for you!! Congratulations. This is so exciting. I've never been to Disney, but I have friends who live in my town who have been there many times as their dad worked there for a long time. Now I can say the next time they go to look for you - how exciting!! Have fun!!

Thank you so much, Pam! If you ever have the opportunity to do so, I would highly recommend a trip to Disney World. The experience is unlike anything else that I've ever been able to enjoy!

Interestingly, I used to live down the pike from Hershey Park in Pennsylvania. I never could go on the rides due to dizziness, but the last time I went in there, I was walking and got so dizzy with all the different rides going different directions, that I had to sit down and put my head between my knees. I am someone who gets dizzy sitting on a swing set!!! I can't imagine what it would be like in a huge arena like Disney where rides would be swirling and going up and down and around. I've never had a desire to go because of my dizziness, but I'm so happy for others who can! I almost wish I'd had someone in my family who could have taken my kids (now grown) to it, but I suspect if they want to go, they will now be taking their own kids. Still have two at home in the nest, but they can always go when they are older. I would love to have been able to go if only I could keep my head on straight!! ha ha.

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
