One of the first things that you probably noticed is that Disney runs on military time. (and yes, it does take me a good 5 minutes to try to convert my schedule from 16:00-23:00 to 4-11pm each week)
The second observation you might have made was the fact that my shifts are, for the most part, all the closing/late night shifts. The College Program participants (or as the other workers call us CPs) all tend to get the later shifts (Seniority is recognized here at Disney).

These past 2 weeks have been full of waking up late and going to bed extremely early in the morning.  Also, my sister managed to fly her way down here and go explore the parks with me this past Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday :).
Another bonus (besides getting into the parks for free) is the fact that we are able to take part in exclusive behind the scenes tours of certain areas/rides in the parks (for free!!) A few days ago I took a tour of the Haunted Mansion and learned about the secrets to some of the rides special effects and history behind it.

And since this blog post is (in my opinion) lacking some information my next blog will post answers to some of the Sample Questions
