Traditions

I now realize why people don't keep up with their blogs while they're here. It's the last thing on your mind, because you are so busy.
Traditions is a class that CP's have to take before they become an "official" cast member. Before the class starts, they give you you're Disney ID. This is what every cast member uses to clock in/out and it is also their ticket to the parks. I can't really say much and its kinda hard to explain, but basically it's a class about the past, present, and future of Disney. Some say it's boring, but mine wasn't at all. Our teachers were very upbeat! That's really all I can say. I can't reveal the secrets, but you do get to go to the parks after traditions...that's if it's not too late that day. I didn't get back until around 7(I had the 2 o'clock traditions class(there are a few at 8 and a few at 2)), so I just stayed home for the night. Most of the new CPs ask, "What do I wear to Traditions?" Here is a pic of what I wore, it's not the best picture, but it is a picture.

Basically, all you really have to wear is business casual clothes. So, for girls, basically church clothes. There are rules, but for the most part, it's just dress pants, a nice shirt, and flats are probably best to wear because you do some walking around a park.
Today, I had Discovery Day at Epcot(my home park). We had to swear on Mickey Mouse that we wouldn't say anything about what we did during discovery day. I believe everyone that works in a park has a discovery day learning about that particular park. I wish I could tell what all we learned/did, but I cant. I did get my costume and my locker today... and compared to some of the costumes I've seen, mine isn't terrible. Besides the pants that come up past my bellybutton, the costume is actually pretty comfortable too. I will try to post a picture soon.
I wish I could reveal more info, but I cant. Tomorrow is Day 1 of training :)
