More training...zzz...

Today was more general training about innoventions called M.E.R.G.E. and then crowd control training dealing with illuminations, woohoo!  So starting at 12:45 all five of us innoventioners were all dressed in our “costumes” and ready to go.  On top of learning how to make someone’s day magical, we got a better look at the tunnels, which I think are pretty cool, as we can get from one part of the park to another without any of the guests really knowing! And they are going to be a lifesaver when it rains!

Then we had dinner at the Disney Diner, run by none other than my dear friend Aramark!  But the only difference here vs. UTD was that the prices were pretty reasonable here.  The food was still only “eh,” but at least we didn’t pay too much for it. 

And in the evening (about 7:30) we headed out to showcase lagoon, where illuminations is held and helped with “crowd control” (ie: making sure people don’t cross the ropes into the safety areas where ash may fall on them, or into places they aren’t supposed to be).  Illuminations was really cool!  Even if you are standing in front of a speaker tower, wearing earplugs (which were thoughtfully given to us). Unfortunately I couldn’t carry my camera while working, but I definitely want some pictures of the cooler parts of the show!

That’s it for now! Tomorrow is grocery bingo, hosted by the living community, so that might be fun, and maybe I’ll meet new people! And my goal is to be up by 8:30 so hopefully I can be at the Company Connection by 9!

 

Random Disney Fact:
Mission: Space’s entire building can fit into the Seas w/ Nemo and Friends’s tank with room to spare! That is how big it is.  Worldwide, it is in the top 5 largest aquariums. AND it has 90% of the same water it opened with; that is how good the water filtration system is.
