The First Day...Back to the Basics

Hi again all,

I hope you all have had a lovely time since my last entry. Well to give you a pretty decent update I would suppose, I must admit that today was my first day of training and it was amazing. As you can see from the first bit of this message you are getting pictures along with it. Pictures that I would say I'm mildly distrubed about but at the moment I'm in such a content state that I don't care. This is the Dinoland Chester & Hester merchandise costume. I'm sure it is the most hideous costume in all of Disney's Animal Kingdom but nonetheless with this costume came many moments of smiling happy children and their happy parents/guardians/older people.

I ventured into the park today to look around Dinoland U.S.A. with a trainer today and the thing around my neck spoke volumes to children. Pins are the name, and trading is the game by which I played. Today I got the chance to trade with at least 4 kids and the light on their faces was just amazing. The number one rule is to smile and...don't tell anyone but I was smiling all day until close. Disney's Animal Kingdom specifically Dinoland has a number of attractions, if you haven't been you really should because it is intense. I met a good number of workers today as well all were energetic, fun, and happy. I have found that everyone loves a Disney cast member, I was getting questions that sure enough I didn't know the answer too. I was able to talk with people and see if they needed help, which was for some odd and unknown reason extremely gratifying and pleasing to the soul.

Aside from the park adventuing I had another piece of pumpkin pie today! Which always brings a smile to my stomach and I got the wonderous schedule of when everything happens in Disney's Animal Kingdom. I'm pretty sure that there is no other place that I would be this pleased and still have energy after a full day of work in the sun and all.

It seems as though I will be selling things all over Dinoland instead of just in the main shop which is fine with me. In fact I do kind of hope to be outside for at least a bit, closing isn't too bad at all and the fact that I can interact with hundreds of people a day is just astonishingly satisfying. Well I've typed like a book of mess here, so if you want and the pictures aren't good enough for you there is a video of me and this here costume. Take it as you want and enjoy it all. And you won't get any Disney fun facts because it hasn't been a week yet. Though I might change that we will see.

Wishing you all the best,

Robert
