It is now less than one month until I move to Anaheim and start the journey of a lifetime. I am going to be honest and tell you that I am completely terrified. I'm not the best at starting a new job and moving the furthest I've ever been, but I am ready to take on this challenge and enjoy every moment. I still can't believe I will be working for Disney in a month. It's a sentence I thought I would never say. I thought I would give a little update on what I've done (or what I should've done already but haven't *renter's insurance*) and what still needs to be done before I move down there!
Class Registration
I registered for my class! I am taking Blended Learning! I wanted to take every class they had to offer but I sadly could only pick one. Here is the description of the class:
This series is designed to blend in-class learning with out-of-class experiences which allow students to see how Disney operates in various lines of business across the Disneyland®Resort. Students will participate in self-directed learning with the chance for career development and networking.
This series is ideal for those who would like to experience a non-traditional education option that blends learning with work experience.
It seems really interesting and I hope to learn a lot from it! I heard some of the learning is actually in Disneyland, so that is super exciting!
New Hire Paperwork
It took me a while, but I finally finished all of my new hire paperwork. It required a lot of reading and understanding forms I've never filled out.
Background Check
This one's simple. They just asked me to fill out a form for a background check. I passed! Woo! Haha
Renter's Insurance
So this is the one I still have not done. Do not ask me why. I am just a procrastinator. After work I don't want to do anything, so I always forget about it. I have now received two emails from Disney reminding me to do it. I swear, I will get to it this week. I will call State Farm this week!
Schedule Preference
A couple of days ago I filled out a form with my schedule preferences. I put that I would work at any time to maximize my hours. I also said that I would work overtime, work six day weeks during the holiday season, and had no preference for the days I have off. I considered putting that I enjoyed working mornings or that I like to have two consecutive days off. But I decided that I am there to work and learn and gain experience so I want to work as much as I can when I'm down there.
What Still Needs to Be Done
A lot. I still haven't unpacked everything since being back from college (oops). That also means I still need to pack for the program (I still have a lot of time). I NEED to get my renter's insurance or else I am not moving into my apartment. There is a lot to do before August 20th but I am so ready to be a Disneyland Cast Member!
