So this post is a little bit about what happens when you are a new Disney castmember (this is a term used for employees). Disney is also famous for its corporate culture and the jargon they use with their 'castmembers'. When I started the program, everyone in my arrival group has a whole week of orientation, one of the most important parts of this orientation involves going to 'DISNEY UNIVERSITY' ... Yes there is an actual Disney University (not accredited of-course!). At Disney University you have to attend a class called TRADITIONS.
Traditions is everything you need to know about Disney and what they expect of their Castmembers. You are introduced to a LOT of Disney terms and Do's and Don'ts. Some things every castmember comes out of tratitions knowing :
1. SafeD begins with ME. ( Disney is obsessed with safety and has million and millions safety regulations which it gives at most importance to)
2. The Disney Basics !
3. The Disney Point. (Because Americans are sometimes offended when people with their index finger Disney cast members have to use and open palm or 2 fingers like the index and the middle finger to point).
4. The Disney Look (no long nails, no crazy coloured hair, no loud, crazy hair colour, no visible tattoo's or piercings).
5. No matter what DISNEY IS THE HAPPIEST/CLEANEST/MOST MAGICAL PLACE ON EARTH.
At Traditions Mickey also gives us our beloved nametags, The identity of every castmember.
