The Final Interview!

Friday morning came and I was so looking forward to my Premier Inn breakfast but my nerves wouldn't let me eat anything but 2 sausages and a yoghurt :( Anyway we got the bus back to Heathrow where we then got our tube tickets and got on a tube. I was very impressed with the tube system it was so easy! And it only took 30 minutes to get to Hammersmith station!

A load of us from the Facebook group were meeting in Starbucks at 8am, I ended up there at 7:20am lol So I had plenty of time to relax :) After meeting up with everyone we walked round to the HQ entrance, or where we thought it was lol, it ended up there were 2 entrances so we had to walk to the other one haha!

Once we got into the building we had to give our name and they took our picture before giving us our event guest passes for the day! The building was amazing! They had a glittery statue of Mickey in the reception area which was over 5ft tall! There were hidden Mickey's everywhere and movie posters upstairs where we spent most of our time in the building! They also had a bust of Walt Disney and the original Iron Man suit!!

We had to give the Yummy Jobs some documents and sign in before going into a mini movie theatre where 3 Disney representatives gave a presentation :) The presentation was brilliant! Again it made you even more eager to get onto the program! The 3 Disney representatives were Sue, Janet and Jim. Jim was a legend! He is a manager in Epcot including Soarin' and this is just a perk of the job that he gets to fly over and interview us!  Also during the presentation, I can't remember what they were talking about, but next thing you know Jim starts dancing Gangman style!!! It was funny and he seemed a right laugh!

After the presentation a long list was read out followed by times that we would have our interviews. Mine was at half 1 but we had to arrive about half and hour earlier. This ended up to be great since I had enough time to meet up with my mum, have an early lunch at Weatherspoons and then walk back to Disney HQ.

When we got there we waited before being let upstairs again and then we all took seats at the sofas and we were then called up to check all of our paperwork. We were also asked what name and hometown we would like on our Disney name badge!! This was very exciting even though we hadn't even had our interview yet lol

I was about 4th or 5th to be interview and I got interviewed by Jim!! I was glad to have him, it ended up just to be a bit of a chat about the roles I picked really. At one point he said about Quick Service Food and Beverage that I would have to handle chemicals obviously to clean the tables etc and I said "It's ok I'm a Physicist, I deal with radiation all the time!" And we had a bit of a laugh about that lol

The interview was only about 10 minutes long and I thought it had went well but again I wasn't sure if it was good enough to even get onto the program. We were told that we would hear by the 9th of November at the latest so it was another waiting game!!!

More about the wait next time!
Have a Magical Day!!
