As you may have seen I am not reviewing a movie this month. I've had a bit of time to mull over some options and rather than keep my focus to just one Disney movie a month, I am going to turn this into an all things Disney blog!!
As you may know Disney is a driving force in my life and has been ever since I was 3. Some of my earliest memories of going to Disneyland and Disney World helped create me into the performer and dreamer that I am today (Disney was quoted as saying "Adults are kids grown up anyway"). I think this blog would be better suited by broadening it's horizons to anything and everything Disney, which quite frankly will keep me writing for the rest of my life!! So what Disney magic have I been letting into my life recently? Read on Disney fans ...
Towards the start of the year I had decided I was going to start putting some feelers out and scope out some job opportunities with Disney World in Orlando, Florida. I am exploring three different avenues of work: Show production, Hospitality and Event Planning, and Banking. I've already put in some preliminary applications to get an idea as to the turnaround time of responses, and brushed off the dust on my resume so it can be seen. There are such a multitude of jobs available that putting out feelers and networking will be an exciting adventure and challenge.
While prepping myself for a possible career path with Disney I picked up two awesome books from my local library: Disney U by Doug Lipp and Creating Magic by Lee Cockerell. While I love to read I'm not big on books on business management or procedure; I tend to find them rather dry and hard to digest at times. However for anyone working in business (which let's face it is almost everyone) I highly recommend these two books. Both are broken down into sections that are pretty self-explanatory and refer back to earlier content as you progress through the chapters. I guess you could call it Disney Magic Homework.
