Once Upon a Time is Now (Yes that was the name of my class)

I went to my last training class on Tuesday, and the class went to the Magic Kingdom! We took the bus over to the Magic Kingdom, and we started backstage and went to the front of the park and came out to see that OVERNIGHT they put up the Halloween decorations. It was amazing to go to the parks the night before, and you come the next day and there are decorations. Our trainers were even shocked and didn't know the park was being decorated. So we started walking around and they started talking and giving us all this information that you would never know about the parks...I can't give it all away, but one thing....Mainstreet is built uphill so when the guests come running in they get tired half way up because they don't realize they are running uphill. Our special cast member tour took us just long enough to get up to the castle where it is elevated to see the opening of the park. Just like the trainers said when the parks open everyone comes running in and then half way they stop. They get tired from running uphill and they don't even know it! haha Well there are many more things we learned, but I don't wanna spoil the fun for everyone :) 

Before the park opened 



The official opening of the day with everyone running in




So we after got to ride a few rides during our training. We rode the Buzz Lightyear space ranger ride and then the Haunted Mansion ride. It was so much fun. :) After our tour and the rides we had lunch then then did some e-learning on the computer and got our costumes...I might...might put up a picture....We will see. haha There are so many buttons to the costume. It's not terrible...haha

  1. How long was this training class? I have it soon, and mine says it is from 7:15am-11:15am. Is this accurate? Other people are saying the class is all day.

  2. Mine was 7:15 to 3:45, but that was only because my training was incorporated in to the day. Some people had their training days separate so if it says 7:15 to 11:15 that should be correct.
