Life on Sunset in Hollywood Studios

Throughout my first role in Merchandise I met a lot of great people from all over the world. Disney is constantly training their cast members all the time so that everyone is up to date on the technology and information needed. Nearer the end of my time in Studios I got to see the introduction of the Magic Band, I am very privileged to be a part of this experience. Other training consisted of the four keys basics (which Disney thrives on), safety and health, safety in motion and lots of others. This made me feel like Disney cares a lot for their workers health and wants to have a safe environment. I also saw this first hand as I was on the safety committee for my area.
Whilst working at Hollywood studios I worked in all different stores. My locations where the Villains Store, Once Upon A Time, Sweet Spells, Ranch/Tots, Animation Gallery, Studio Store, In Character and Legends. My favourite store was Sweet Spells as I got to see how the candy production worked and then I was the cast member selling it.
I had the best time in Studios, constantly dealing with guests, learning how to communicate with someone who speaks a different language although this could be difficult I found someone or a way to help the guests needs and wants. I also got on well with the other cast members as we were all about the same age and had similar interests this helped the working environment. The working relationships with the managers weren’t as easy as some of them were nice, the others acted like they didn’t have the time of day for you. I felt like because I was an international student the managers thought I couldn’t do things as easy as the cast members from America.

However despite all of that I thoroughly loved my role here and I gained and improved many skills which I feel I can take forward into future job roles and will benefit my future.

Below are the 5 different costumes I used to wear for all the locations in Hollywood Studios.
