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!
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!
