Arrival Date Jan 7!!!

Today was check in day! This is my original four roommates and they are the sweetest girls ever! We got up at 6am to get in the lines because its first come first serve! The lines started moving at 7am and we were off! Today went basically like this...get in line, wait, shuffle, sign papers, go in another line, wait, shuffle, sign more papers......The first half of the morning  involved getting one of the many picture IDs,  confirming our names, addresses and birthdays and picking our apartments. There are three apartment complexes. The oldest and the original disney college apartment is called Vista Way, then Patterson, Chatham and the Commons. We planned to get Chatham but couldn't because there were no available rooms so we ended up with Patterson, which also includes another room, so 2 new roommates!!! ( They are so sweet :) and we shouldn't have worried)

Picture of where I sleep because thats not creepy!!

We also got to find out where we are working and I'm working at the Kouzzina Cafe on the Disney Boardwalk, (which is right at the edge of Epcot Park). This Cafe is owned by CAT CORA!!!!!!!!!! (one of the first woman iron chefs on the Food Network); and I found out that she visits and even cooks, so what a great surprise!!!!! That all ended at 10:30am and then we had to go to CASTING!!!!! Casting is where they get the more important info like I-9 forms, fingerprinting and background checks. Oh and because there are so many people they split up times for check in and casting, so MY casting started at 11:30am and ended around 2pm....It was sooooooooo long...when we first got there we literally stood in the same place for at least 30 minutes...but the great thing about that is I got to meet lots of new people!!!! Made new friends and even met identical twin sisters! At the end we got information on how to get to work and information about our Orientation and Training. I start Orientation on Friday and then my on the job training on Saturday. After that was over we had the rest of the day off (Thank Goodness..) So I hung about, ate food and got settled into my apartment. We are officially settled; with the Wifi working, kitchen all furnished and Tv set up :) What is also awesome is that -except for a mandatory housing event tomorrow- we have Tuesday and Wednesday off!!!!  So its time for an adventure!!!!!!!!!
