I'm laying in my bed, which has never felt so nice. I MADE IT THROUGH MY 12 hour day which including transportation was actually 14. It was crazy last tonight...we were so busy and of course, pizza/pasta is the busiest shop.
So for the first 2 hours of my shift I was at a Town Hall meeting, and guess who I met?! The manager of Art of Animations and Pop Century! He was at the meeting and it was so cool because he was the person who was in a lot of my training videos and there he was, standing infront of me. The Vice President of Resorts as well as the Manager off all Food and Beverage, and Guest Relations were there as well. Disney is introducing a new product called My Magic Plus and it was an informational meeting for us to learn more. Basically they have created these wristbands that are going to used for everything; your room key, fast passes, photo passes, merchandise transactions and much more. I think the coolest part about them is you can book your fast passes 60 days before you arrival day so you can kind of plan out your day, and its all stored on the wristband. There's so much more to these but if you have any questions or want to know more, just let me know. They are supposedly being released in the nest few months, they're currently in testing.
So after my meeting I went back to work. I was in the pizza/pasta shop and was working as a "catcher'. Basically what this means is I am the one who is taking the pizzas, garlic bread, meatball sandwiches, and cheesy pesto bread out of the oven, cutting them, plating them and then putting them in our window. It was really difficult because at times I would have 15 personal pizzas coming out, as well as garlic bread and then like 5 family pizzas. The machine is a moving belt so if I didn't get them all out in time, it would all be ruined. From 9:00-10:00 we got a big rush. One of my coordinators went and check our transaction history and we had 523 transactions within the hour.....371 of which were from PIZZA PASTA!! So you do the math...thats a lot f pizzas in the oven! Haha it was very stressful and honestly I didn't really like the position but once it calmed down it was much better. After that one of my coordinators came and I got another certificate! I was so excited and it made it all worth it. On the card it says " great job on catcher keeping a level head and staying safe during super crazy times tonight. Way to go!" Its so nice how Disney acknowledges their employees for hard work.
This morning I just got back from the pool and now I'm about to get some lunch with my roommates before I have to go back to work from 3:30-12. Did I tell you I feel like I live there more than my apartment yet? Haha
This was me on my break! Can you find me?
