Enjoying Your 2nd Dinner?

Last Saturday I spent a few hours in the Animal Kingdom and then came home and made my famous Mamma Mia Baked Ziti for dinner. Michael made Banana Foster which was so good!

So Monday was day 2 of orientation (backstage at Hollywood Studios) where we learned more about what to do in order to further our career, definitely valuable information. After that we took a little walk to our lunch location which was in a room meant for events like this, but in true Disney fashion it was decorated with old props from shows/parades. There were puppets from the Lion King show at Magic Kingdom (pre Philharmagic) and contraptions from the Tapestry of Nations parade. We had lunch with a few executives who spoke to us about their history and what we should do during our time here. It was stressful haha but a good experience none the less.

After lunch we took a walk through DHS and rode Tower of Terror and Rockin Roller Coaster. It was important for us to experience what we are supporting. To see the guests faces and see how this machine runs. Awesome day of orientation =)

This week I also had another SAP training class and a welcome lunch (aww). At the office I ran my first report (this one on mail order merchandise) and acquired a couple others to do weekly. One is the weekly volume report (attendance etc) and one tracking how the quick service coupon promotion is going.

I also was working on pulling numbers for a deep dive analysis and my leader was really pleased with it so I got a project to take it one step further. I'm not sure how much I can say but it's a benchmarking type assignment. Next week is dealing with month end and forecasting so it'll be busy for my team! I am now finished all the online trainings as well, go me! haha it's been good at the office. I'm getting lost less and less.

From a non-work perspective, life has been busy too! I feel like I've eaten more than anything this week, enjoying second and third dinners haha. Tuesday night, Summer and I tried out the Zumba class here at the apartments and then went for a 2 mile walk. It was wonderful! We're going to train for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon. I've always wanted to do something like that, so I'm excited =)

Wednesday night was the cast preview of Captain EO, which was opening officially on Friday. So after work I met up with Summer, Corinne and Adam - enjoyed some dinner in Japan and then headed to see Michael. I did not remember it haha but it was fun! Friday we did our traditional Epcot and Magic Kingdom experiencing Space Mountain twice (woo!).

We decided to do the 4th of July Magic Kingdom fireworks on Saturday to avoid the crowd and it was just absolutely stunning. We did some attractions afterwards - Adam hasn't experienced the world, just the land so we had to introduce him to some of world's magic.

Today I am cleaning up, doing laundry and then headed to the Studios to meet up with friends for the fireworks there. I have a busy week ahead and I'm excited for it! Happy 4th of July Everyone!
