DCP: Merchandise Tier 1

When you get the role of merchandise, your training is broken up into five days. Your first day is called Merchandise Tier 1. For Animal Kingdom, this day is another day to get used to your park.

We started the day of with doing e-learning…or taking online tests. You take A LOT of these while training, they aren’t the best but they certainly aren’t the worst.

After you do a couple tests you go and take an in-depth tour of the part of the park you will be working in. I am working in Asia so went around and visited all of the carts I will be working in. Asia is separated into two parts for Merchandise. Asia Carts and Everest. There are 3 carts in Asia and a store and a cart for Everest. I can work at any of the two parts when I am scheduled for a shift.

After I took a tour of Asia, I went to go visit some of my managers. I have ten managers and so far I have met 6 of them. They are all so nice and make me enjoy working!

This is pretty much all you do on your first day. J
