Hey, folks!
Well, after a LONG day of traveling, I've finally arrived. My flights today were quick and smooth. I flew from Greensboro, NC with a connecting flight in Charlotte, NC. The only hiccup I had was when I accidentally left my connecting flight boarding pass in my checked bag. WHOOPS! Luckily, I was able to get it reprinted and make my flight in plenty of time. I arrived in Orlando around 4:15 PM and took the Disney Magical Express (Oooooohhhhhhh... Aahhhhhhhhhhh...) to my hotel. During my initial shore side training days, Disney has me staying at their All Star Sports Resort. Ironically, this is the very first hotel I ever stayed at when I visited Disney World with my parents seventeen years ago. So this is bringing back a lot of memories. It feels strange to stay in a hotel room by myself. But I won't complain! I assumed I would have a roommate, but unless his flight is scheduled to come in late, I have the room to myself. I guess I shouldn't get used to it, though. Once I get on that ship this Saturday, I'll be in a pretty tiny room with either one or two other roommates. It's like college all over again.
It's been really nice to have a job where the company takes care of pretty much all my expenses. This is a first for me. I felt like a king today. My flight, transportation to the hotel, room, and food while I'm here has all been paid for in advance. ROOM SERVICE, ANYONE?! And of course, my room and board on the ship are all a part of my job so this should be a big money saver for me.
I'm scheduled to begin official training tomorrow morning at 7:00 AM. I don't really know what to expect. I do know that Friday will be filled with a lot of classroom and orientation type training. I guess I'll find out in the morning.
As for now, I need to begin settling down and get some rest. I woke up this morning a little sick so I'm trying to fight that off as fast as I can. I'll post an update tomorrow on how my day goes. Until then, enjoy some photos I took when I first arrived:
