They had a double decker bus that they would drive in, full of characters, park somewhere, and they'd all walk off and do a 20 minute meet-n-greet. I liked to photograph Mickey for it. Sadly they discontinued DCOH right at the end of my internship. I don't think I was ever told any official reasons that they stopped it, but it was a rumor that they couldn't keep the bus in working order anymore.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776892022840715380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8644054223662729577.post-11775518755764445492010-01-10T23:07:03.758-06:002010-01-10T23:07:03.758-06:00Yeah, I'm a bit nervous at having to learn all...Yeah, I'm a bit nervous at having to learn all the information about the parks, but I feel like I can do it naturally by being there every second, working or not. haha.<br /><br />We have a "home park" system. Epcot is where I'll be scheduled, but I can pick up shifts in other parks if I want to. There are special areas in the Magic Kingdom that need additional training, but other than those, I can work anywhere in the four parks as long as someone wants to give away a shift there.Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177404408040259798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8644054223662729577.post-65022603528902093672010-01-10T20:27:03.907-06:002010-01-10T20:27:03.907-06:00Are you going to always be working at Epcot, or ar...Are you going to always be working at Epcot, or are you going to be working in other places too? I was a Photopass intern in the latter half of 2005 (the last of the professional interns to be photopass) and I worked in all the theme parks except Animal Kingdom. Also I'd like to know how wacky things are. When I worked there, the department was only about a year old.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776892022840715380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8644054223662729577.post-18763696967240215102010-01-10T19:19:12.921-06:002010-01-10T19:19:12.921-06:00you're very lucky, indeed, on many many counts...you're very lucky, indeed, on many many counts! count me in as living vicariously through you, too :)Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150634254439690604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8644054223662729577.post-61065028371906979992010-01-10T19:09:53.331-06:002010-01-10T19:09:53.331-06:00Sounds exciting!

I've already done the CP, but it's fun to live vicariously through you, and you are giving great information to new CPs!<br /><br />Congrats on working at Epcot! It's my favorite park too!<br /><br />I think they always do two Traditions classes. I'm surprised the sessions were so early though. I know mine was in the afternoon, which stunk because I couldn't go to the parks until dinner time!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618665786359553625noreply@blogger.com
