Life of a Lifeguard at Disney

I started my first day of being a officially lifeguard cast member yesterday. I had my shift at one of the pool at Animal Kingdom Lodge. The weather wasn't very nice at all, my shift started at 3:15pm and it started raining from that time  through my entire shift. I got soaking wet even I had my rain coat on. But our guest were never fear of the wind and rain and kept swimming. I survived my first shift in the rain, I got home and immediately got into a hot shower and bed time. Bonus of the day was I talked to my mom for the first time since I moved to Florida. Today was an easy day, I had my shift at Coronado Springs Resort, however the pool is closed until Saturday, so three of us stand at the entrances to inform our guests that they can't use the pool. I was really hard to tell the little one that the pool is close while they had their swimsuit on already. It was an easy day, but windy out. Our coordinator let us choose to stay or leave early since the pool is closed and it is also too cold to let people in anyway. I stay till 9:30pm then I went home. I love my job so far and I am excited to meet my co-worker and become friends with them. Disney is fun and I enjoyed going to the parks whenever I have a day off!!!!!

My first week

Finally have WiFi set up and finally have time to get another post on here. I am so excited to be at Disney. On Sunday I got stuck at Washington DC and didn't get to Orlando till 3am in the morning. But I made it to check in at 7:45am on Monday morning, check in and casting (filling and filing document) went very well, I met up with my 7 roommates and all moved in. Then I had my vision test and swim test that day, I was exhausted but I passed still :) Lucky me!!!!! Tuesday I had my drug test and visited couple of my friends at the other apartment complex. Wednesday I had a free day for organizing my room and grocery day. Tradition is on Thursday, is a class that we learned about how to be a good cast member at Walt Disney World and how can we create magic to our guests. Friday and Saturday is my lifeguard/CPR training. At first I am very nervous about it because the course sound so intense and complicated when I first started, but my classmates and instructor are really nice so it made it fun. We learned about CPR, shallow, middle, and deep water rescue, and first aid skills. Today is our BIG DAY, we had our lifeguard test and I PASSED.

I can't wait to see what come next.
I will be working at Animal Kingdom Lodge and Colorado Spring!!!!
