This week has been filled with more training! I’m finally starting to feel like I’m getting the hang of this vacation planning stuff. The first four days of training was called Core Training. This was all done in a classroom, and it was about learning all of the technical parts of the job. This week I have been in the booth with a trainer putting into real life Yesterday morning I was feeling slightly overwhelmed and frustrated that I wasn’t making better sales, and retaining all the information my trainer was telling me. At the height of my frustration a sweet looking elderly couple came up to my window and wanted to upgrade their tickets. I discreetly turned to my trainer and told her I needed help completing the steps for this particular transaction. As I turned around the old women very loudly yells to her husband. “Damn it Merle, we got a new person. If this isn’t gonna take forever, I don’t know what will!”
I obviously heard her say this. Usually I would just chuckle about something like this, but I actually got a few tears in my eyes and had to play it off like I was yawning. I know, suck it up right? This is something I know about myself and am working on, but I do not deal well with confrontations at all. For me, all emotions lead to crying in .5 seconds. Thanks Mom, for that wonderful trait you passed along to me! I definitely need to work on getting tough skin if I plan to move up at all in management. So the end to this story; the old grouches got their tickets (in a timely manner I must add), and I went to lunch after right they left!
So today I was dreading work a little, since I felt like I was doing a not so great job the day before. BUT thankfully today went much, much better! I sold the crap out of multi day tickets! Those add major points to my monthly rewards (earning certain number of points earns vacation planners prizes like free flights, gift cards, ipods, etc.). At the end of the day I took my assessment to see if I am knowledgeable enough to become a full fledge vacation planner. Tomorrow I find out the results, so keep your fingers crossed because this training business is for the birds!
And now for a few random thoughts.
-Everyone that I work with has been super nice and helpful.
-I love living in Florida. It super hot and humid, but besides that it's a very relaxed atmosphere. It's a much slower pace then up north for sure!
-My request to have labor day off was approved. So I'll be coming home for Lindsey's wedding. WAAAhooo
- This week I haven't been very disciplined about exercising, eating healthy, or sleeping eight hours. Whenever I slip up on any of these areas, it’s a downward spiral. I start feeling really tired from getting up at 5:30 every morning, so I drink soda and coffee to stay alert. I feel full from all the sugar and therefore don’t workout when I get home. Then I’m not really worn out at night, so I stay up late doing random crap, and miss out on all eight hours of sleep I need. This all leaves me feeling very BLAH. So I’m making a conscious effort this week to get back on the healthy train!
-I like eating whole avocados. They’re pretty flipping delicious.

Training Training and More Training
This week I finally graduated from my beloved greeting position (RIP) and started training to become a vacation planner. On my last day of greeting, a male, fellow park greeter extended his warmest wishes to me. “Hope you know you’re gonna get fat once you start your new job. All the vacation planners do is sit on their ass for a few hours, take a break and eat while sitting on their ass, then they go back to work for a few hours, and then take their lunch break, where they sit on their ass and eat.”
And you have a nice day as well sir!
So last Friday, I began my training for my vacation planner position. The first day was mostly focused on learning on to engage our guests. We learned about the four-step process we are supposed to follow when we have a guest at our window.
The first step is to RECEIVE our guest. “Hi, welcome to Walt Disney World. My name is Kelsey, and I’m excited to help you plan your vacation!” We have to use assurance statements, instead of asking a question such as, “How can I help you?” Asking a question creates doubt in the guests mind that we may not be able to help them.
The next step is UNDERSTANDING. During this step we ask questions to understand the guests’ needs. We ask questions such as, where they are from, how long they are staying here, what types of characters they would like to see, etc.
During the HELPING step, we suggest a package to sell them. We are supposed to persuade them through involvement. Sounds nice and fluffy, right?
The final stage is KEEPING. We invite the guests to come back to our parks, and to come back and see us if they would like to upgrade their package.
That’s pretty much vacation planning in a nutshell. The other part of the training was dedicated to learning the computer system that goes along with vacation planning. I’m definitely not a tech savvy person, and having to remember different sequences for each specific problem reminds me way too much of math, also not my forte.
During my last day of training class we played a game where the two trainers randomly walked up to any of us eight trainees, and we had to role-play as if they were actual guests and we were actual vacation planners. I was the first trainee to do the role-play. The trainer walked up to me and said she had lost her tickets and her receipt, and was wondering if I could look up her tickets for her. I froze and said, “If you could step to the window to my left, this gentlemen will be able to help you with that problem.” I start working with real live guests on Thursday, stay tuned….
My sister Genny, her husband Ben, and his little brother Brandon have been down here visiting this week. It has been fun to show them around Orlando. We went to Hollywood Studios today, and it was my first time going there. The Tower of Terror was a blast, and I definitely grabbed the arm of the old man who was sitting next to me and buried my head in his shoulder during the ride. He was very nice about the whole thing, and I was too scared to be embarrassed of my actions!

Kelsey AKA Last Man on The Totem Pole
I’ve always known that in order to be successful in a company, you usually have to start at the bottom of the latter, and work your way up. Well, today I learned just how far down that latter truly is…
I spent my morning greeting at the park. I really don’t mind greeting, it’s not too difficult and I’m starting to know more about the park. Therefore I feel more comfortable about answering the guests’ questions. After I took my lunch break, I went to a meeting to learn about various park procedures. A full stomach, air conditioning, and a comfy chair is a dangerous combination for me. I was definitely noticeably resting my eyes for long periods of time throughout the entire meeting. Way to make a good impression self!
The meeting ended at 2:00 and I was scheduled to be off work at 3:00. I went and asked my manager what he would like me to do for my remaining hour. On my way to my manager’s office I created the perfect scenario in my head. “Hi I’m scheduled to clock out in an hour, what would you like me to do?”
“Oh, you’ve done such a great job being attentive to our guests needs today. You’ve upheld all of our Disney values today, and remained positive and attentive even after standing in the direct sunlight and horrible humidity in this 100-degree weather for the past seven hours. Go ahead, leave early, you deserve it!”
But, in all reality his response went a little more like this, “Ok, well we don’t really have a lot of guests coming in this late in the day. I saw quite a few cigarette butts and little pieces of trash. Why don’t you go grab a broom and dustpan and tidy up the entrance a bit.”
So my college educated self used all of my knowledge I’ve obtained from four years of diligently studying (maybe a bit of a stretch) at a university, grabbed the broom and dustpan, and swept up every last cigarette butt, candy wrapper, and ticket receipt laying on the pavement for an hour.
Everyone’s gotta start somewhere, but this may be a very long climb to the top!

Park Greeter Turned Shark Swimmer
So one of my favorite perks of working for Disney is that I get free entrance to all the parks fo-free!!! Walt Disney World also has two water parks, but cast members are only allowed in them during certain parts of the year. Yesterday was the last day until September that cast members are allowed in for free. So naturally on my day off yesterday, I headed to Typhoon Lagoon. After spending a solid summer working at Raging Rivers, I swore I would never step foot in a water park again. However, I decided I might as well give this one a chance. I’m glad I did because it was VERY fun!
It was pretty much you’re typical water park, BUT the coolest part was that you can snorkel with sharks AND it’s included in the ticket price, or in my case it was completely free. Basically there is a ten feet deep pool filled with saltwater that has nurse sharks and other tropical fish swimming on the bottom. There is no barrier in between the sharks and the swimmers. Five people get in at a time and snorkel across and check out the creatures. I’ve never really snorkeled before, so I was really trying to focus on breathing through my mouth only. Not going to lie, about halfway across the pool, I kind of started hyperventilating. Drama queen, right? But in between panic attacks, I could tell that the sharks and fish looked way cool. I definitely recommend this to Orlando visitors!
After my long day at the water park, two of my roommates and I headed to Magic Kingdom. Keep in mind the last time I came to Walt Disney World I was five, so all of this is pretty new to me. I still scream like a little school girl on the roller coasters, and I may have peed a little on the last drop in Splash Mountain. Surprise surprise! My apologies to the girl setting with me on the seat…
We also stayed for the fireworks and parade at Magic Kingdom. Right now there is a light parade going on, it’s awesome! The fireworks were amazing too. It’s unbelievable how the fireworks are timed so perfectly with the music. Come visit me, and you will see what I mean!
This morning I visit Animal Kingdom for the first time. The amount of detail that is put into Walt Disney World is crazy. The first thing we did in the park was the Safari Ride. Basically we were hauled around in a Jeep/Hummer vehicle and saw all the different animals (Giraffes, Elephants, Cheetahs, etc.) The roads are all paved, but it appears that you’re driving on a dirt terrain. There are even ruts stamped into the pavement that look like tire marks. Very cool!
Peace and blessings my dudes and dudettes!

Monorail
Today I did Greeter Training, it’s actually a much harder gig than I imagined. We basically stand at the front gates of the transportation center to Magic Kingdom and welcome guests. The tricky part is they ask a million questions, of which I usually don’t know the answers. So I spent my day learning the answers to the most common questions such as: Where are the nearest restrooms? What time does the Monorail leave? Where do I rent a stroller?
Overall, today wasn’t too bad. The guy that was training myself and the two other Vacation Planners was really laid back, so that was nice! Interesting fact for today, when cast members are riding the Monorail (the train that transports guests around the property) they must stand up at each stop. If no guests get in the car the cast members are in, the cast members may sit down after the train passes the stop. However, if any guests get on the car the cast members must remain standing the entire time. This is done so that the cast members appear alert and attentive to any needs guest may have.
So there ya go!

More Tired Than A Pet Rooster
So I’m not sure if pet roosters are tired, but I sure know I am! These past few days have been jam packed. Yesterday I had a class called “Traditions.” It was all about how the company was created, what is currently going on with it, and what the future plans are. I really did learn a lot in the class. For example, I never knew that Walt Disney actually died before Disney World even opened. Who knew?! During “Traditions” us interns were also given a tour of Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom actually has tunnels underneath the park so that guests never see characters acting uncharacteristic. I also learned more about Disney lingo. At Disney we never have lost children, we have lost parents. There are no employees, just cast members. Our jobs are our roles, and last, but not least, we don’t have uniforms, but we do have costumes.
Speaking of which, today I got mine. Hopefully soon I will post a picture online so that all of you can see this wonderful outfit. Just to create a mental picture, I’ve got black pleated pants that come just below my brazier. On the top I have a short sleeve white button down blouse, yes, I did just use the word blouse. It’s all topped off with a very attractive pinkish vest. Basically, It’s going to be tough to do my job and deal with the masses of men attracted to my hotness.
Anywho, today I had Magic Kingdom orientation in the morning and orientation for my role this afternoon. I had to be at the orientation at 7:15 A.M. This meant I had to catch a bus at 6:15 A.M. This also meant I had to wake up at 5:15 A.M. Guhhhhhh. Surprisingly, after only four hours of sleep I’m still functioning. Today I was able to observe a vacation planner in action. I’ve come to find out that vacation planning is actually just a fancy name for ticket sales, which is fine with me. I will be working right at the entrance gate at Magic Kingdom. My booth is air conditioned, I have a seat, and it’s usually pretty slow in the afternoon. I don’t think this sounds like a bad gig! The lady that I was observing told me that she was hired 13 years ago because the company was looking for people with accounting experience to work in ticket sales. Now, however, the focus has changed and they are hiring people who have good communication skills, are outgoing, and can engage well with the guests. Interesting!
Tomorrow I start training as a park greeter. By tomorrow night I should be saying, “Welcome to Walt Disney World,” in my sleep!

Day One... DONZO
Saturday morning the journey began! Kristen and I left at 11:00 A.M. in the jam packed Corolla. We made really great time and only made one major stop the entire way down. The stop rhymed with Spracker Carrel… We arrived in Daytona Beach bright and early at 7:00 A.M. on Sunday morning. Our hotel wasn’t ready so we were homeless for several hours. Thankfully, Kristen’s old neighbor from Edwardsville just moved to Daytona and allowed us to crash on his couch for a few hours until our hotel was ready. It also poured yesterday, so no beach for us. We then ate at Bubba Gumps for dinner, good stuff.
This morning started out bright and early! Kristen and I were running a little late and made it to the airport a measly 30 minutes before her flight left. I was fine when I dropped her off, only because the goodbye was so rushed. Then I started driving to Disney by myself, and thinking about how I was in Florida…. by myself. So I did what anyone would do, pulled into the nearest Seven Eleven, called my dad, and cried. Eventually I composed myself and ventured into Disney.
Disney definitely has the entire internship program down to a science! While I was waiting in line for check in a girl from Pennsylvania and I started visiting, and decided to become roommates. We seem to have a lot in common, so I may have a potential friend on my hands! After check in I went to our apartment and met the rest of my roommates. There are six of us. We’re from all over (Pennsylvania, Texas, Colorado, Mississippi, and Missouri), but all seem to be laid back and chill.
The apartments are nicer than I expected. We’re all sharing rooms, but they’re pretty spacious. We have two bathrooms and a pretty big living room. FYI, it’s hot, like a different kind of hot, here!
Love and miss you all!

Packin' Up and Movin' Out
In less than one week I will be in the sunshine state! I’m somewhere in between being so excited I could burst, and being scared and nervous to the point of wanting to crawl up into the fetal position and cry! In Hope Floats, one of my top three favorite movies, Sandra Bullock’s character says, “Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it's what's in the middle that counts.” I think I would have to agree!
In between graduation and the end of my internship I had one full week to do NOTHING! It was glorious! My days pretty much consisted of the following. I would wake up around the crack of eleven, at which point Allison would wonder into my room. We would lay on my bed for about an hour pondering life. After a while we would discuss what we’re going to eat for lunch, and then get up and eat the lunch. Next we would have to watch t.v. for an hour to let our food digest. Then eventually I would muster up the energy to tan and go for a run. Each night usually ended up with us showering and heading out for our final nights on the town in Macomb. Somehow we would manage to wake up the next morning and do the whole shebang all over again. Just thinking about that final week brings a little tear of happiness to my eye.
Well that fantasy world came to a screeching halt the Monday morning following my graduation. I woke up to two text messages and an angry voicemail from Mama Schutz, who was slightly irritated that I had been hanging out in Macomb, doing nothing for a week. I believe the exact wording of the voicemail was, “Kelsey Ellen, I think you can get your butt home! I have no idea what you’re doing up there. Are you just drinking all of your graduation money?!?!”
So needless to say I packed up the Silver Bullet and made my way back to Schutz Farms. Before doing so I said my goodbyes to Jenn and Allison. That was hard. Not to get all mushy here, but those girls really did become, not only my best friends, but also my family at school. It’s going to be very different not having them by my side all the time.
As far as my gap between college and Disney, I really only set two goals for myself: Finish my bedroom and hang out with my family and friends. I would go as far as saying I have been successful on both accounts! I really haven’t done anything too exciting, just the everyday normal happenings of life, but that’s what I think I’ll miss the most while I’m gone. I did complete my first 5k of the year last weekend. Brock, my bro, and I ran the entire thing together and did it in a little over 27 minutes. Not too shabby considering the lack of training we both did!
I have no idea what this next week will entail. My friend Kristen and I are leaving Saturday afternoon, driving straight through the night to Daytona Beach, and hanging out there for a day. Monday morning I will be dropping Kristen off at the airport, and then I report for Disney Duty. Stay tuned folks!
