Traditions

Now here is one tradition most cast members do not look forward to: it is a 3-4 hour class that is required before work can begin or park passes can be handed out. In a way it is a right of passage that takes place at Disney University, located behind Magic Kingdom. Although cast members grudgingly attend, it really is one of the better training classes an employee could take. Granted, it is only a small portion of the job training that Disney requires, but it is fairly entertaining when it comes right down to it. I mean, how many training sessions give their workers a brief history lesson on Walt Disney World??? How many classroom hallways are lined with pictures of some of the greatest heroes & villains that ever crossed the silver screen?? Though videos are a part of the class, the instructors also teach with real enthusiasm & excitement about working for Disney; they don't just read from a script because they have to, they give cast members a reason to look forward to what could become of this amazing opportunity & how far they can possibly go within the company. Traditions doesn't have to be that dreaded mandatory class that lasts way too long. (It really could be so much worse;)
