The backstage of Epcot isn't anything like that of the Magic Kingdom, since most of it is above ground. It reminded me a lot of the backstage of the Summerfest grounds. There are golf carts and people walking everywhere, and everyone was busy doing something. I walked into the costuming building and there were thousands of lockers for the Cast Members to store their costumes once they were checked out. The whole room with the costumes had rows about rows of costumes with five bars high in each row. There were hundreds of thousands of pieces of clothing all over the place.
The trainers took the entire class into a trailer classroom and we went over a couple of housekeeping things. Finally the fun part came and we got to go into the park. The first thing that we did was ride Spaceship Earth. I got PAID to sit and ride Spaceship Earth. I couldn't have been happier than in that moment. After, we walked over to the main fountain, and all 100 of the newest cast members were told to stand in a huge circle and face outward. Then an announcement came over all of Epcot welcoming the newest Cast Members into the Epcot Family. It was great to be recognized like that. We went and saw a little more of Future World and then all of the College Program Cast Members got a behind the scenes tour of the World Showcase before it opened.
The rest of the day I spent with a group of four other students that are also going to be working at Sunshine Seasons and we did a lot of computer training that is required before we are able to complete the training course.
It was a really long day learning a lot of the basics that are needed to be able to know what I'm doing. I wasn't really wanting to spend the rest of the night at the apartment, but I was too tired to actually go back out to one of the parks. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll go play before work.
