I have received 15 four keys cards so far!

Working for Disney is the greatest experience I have ever had in my life. I complain pretty much daily about guests that are mean to me and how I get yelled at, but having that one great guest makes it so worth it. The other day I met a couple at fireworks and we chatted about their trip and the Frozen show we were watching. Today they made a special trip to Hollywood Studios to see me at The Great Movie Ride before they went home. As they were leaving they handed me this card and told me that good cast members like me are what make Disney magical. All I can say is that I love my job and I love working for Disney.

"Good cast members like you are what Disney so magical"

"Be good to the guests, be great to each other."

Four keys

Four keys are compliment cards from work that go on your permanent record card. You receive them when another cast member or leader seeing you do something above and beyond and practicing the basic morals of the company: safety, courtesy, show, efficientcy. I got 9 cards this week! :)

Teamwork part 2

Teamwork is a huge part of working at Great Movie Ride, I didn't realize it at first but we each play a large and important role in the functioning of the attraction. One of the four keys of the Walt Disney company is efficency and GMR is undoubtedly one of the most efficient rides out there. Each position effects the next and if there is an issue at the beginning of the line it causes a domino affect through the rest of the attraction. The same goes for the attitude of my coworkers. When one of us is feeling negative or having a rough day it affects everyone else. Because we work so closely together teamwork between us is imperative. In the past few weeks there has been training going on which means everyone has to work more hours to  make up for the lost time used in training. We have all been working on average 12-14 hour days 6 days a week. Spending so much time together and so little time to ourselves caused a lot of tension, but since we were all in the same position it created a stronger sort of bond so that when one of us was having a hard time we could compensate for it and keep the ride moving slowly. One of the most important lessons I've learned since I've been here is the importance of teamwork. As much as I love my job, if I didn't get to work with such wonderful people I know I wouldn't love it half as much.
