Where Am I Working? (DCP Spring 2013)

Sorry, everyone! I've been so busy and haven't had a chance to just sit down and work on my blog since I first got here! In this post I'm going to tell you where in Epcot's Future World West Attractions I'm actually working everyday. Here is goes.....

Living with the Land 
and
Circle of Life
in The Land Pavilion



























The Land Pavilion includes:
Soarin' 
Living with the Land
Circle of Life
The Garden Grill
Sunshine Seasons
















































However, I only work Attractions, so I only work with Living with the Land and Circle of Life. But even knowing that, I was surprised by how much we actually do for the pavilion itself. 

Here is the list of some of the positions I'm rotated through on a daily basis:
Stroller Parking
Outside Marquee Greeter
Lobby Greeter
Dispatch
Merge
Stand-by Greeter
Unload
Wheelchair Assist

For the sake of keeping certain information classified, I won't got into detail about each of these positions or about the ones I'm not mentioning on purpose, but it shows all the different responsibilities I have been trained for in The Land.

Now here comes the question everyone has been asking me....

Do I like working here?

To be honest, I was disappointed when I first found out which attractions I would be working. I had no special emotional attachments to either attraction, and couldn't see working them being all that fun. But I had made a promise to myself long before I even arrived here that I would make the best out of whatever I had to do here, for better or for worse. 

Now that I have been working for a couples of weeks there, I can say with confidence that I enjoy working in The Land. Sure, it's not the most popular pair of attractions in "the World," but that's ok because after being trained in these attractions, I can see how crazy working the popular attractions could be. Now I'm very grateful for working here in The Land. Plus, working these attractions couldn't "ruin" them for me because I didn't have any attachments to them to begin with. It's funny....I probably have more an attachment to them now than when I first got here. Anyway, this isn't where I want to work for Disney on a permeant basis by any means, but I think I'm going to really enjoy it for the Spring 2013 program. Right now I'm just taking it all in and figuring out where else I'd like to work in the future. 

I'll try to continue keeping my blog updated! Have a magical day!
