Tuesday

Just got home from another day of training. Although today was way more fun! It was mostly based on learning content about some of our animals that we will be teaching about and we toured Dinoland today. There are 3 positions that we could and will be working in Dinoland which are the KDC there, in front of the American Crocodile, and giving a presentation at SUE, the T-rex. And because SUE is so close to the Dinosaur ride we all got to head on over and test it out too! Just for the sake of research of course! :) because we have to remember that time travel is dark, loud, bumpy and sometimes things jump out at you so it may not be suitable for all children. We also got to see our presenter trailer where we will start and end every day which is backstage near the main gate. In the afternoon the invertabrate keeper team came in to give us lots of information and show us some of the bugs, spiders, tarantulas, and snakes that we will be working with everyday. It was very neat, although I have to say that the hissing cockroach is probably never going to be my favorite animal. Tomorrow we are scheduled to do classroom work in the morning and then we are out in the park exploring three more of our KDCs to kind of get a feel for what we will be working with there! Hope everyone is enjoying this daily update and if you have any specific questions about what all the presenter team has going on or anything here at Disney feel free to post those!
