Yummy Called!

Kristen from Yummy called today! She just called to confirm that I'd been given a role in Food and Beverage starting July 15th, 2008, and to give me some information on the process.

Um... food and beverage? I told her that I'd been told merchandise but that I really had no preferences, and I'd love to do food and beverage, too! I'm just excited to work for Disney! Since that's what Disney has listed I'm going to stick with F&B! This is actually a great opportunity because you get paid $0.50/hour more for regular jobs, and if you get to be a server it means tips! All of this will help me pay for the gas/insurance for that new Toyota Corolla I bought on the weekend! Plus, Kristen said it's more interesting because you get to be in a wide variety of roles. PLUS I'll get to wear both kinds of costumes, and most of my friends are in F&B so I'll get to work with them! YAY!

So, here's what Kristen told me:
  • They have received my background check and correct information from Cast-A-Way... bonus!
  • I will need medical insurance for the first 4 months, after which I can get insurance from Disney. The requirements for the insurance will be listed in the package I should be receiving soon! I asked her if she knew anything about the Disney insurance, and she's going to get back to me in a couple of days with the price, etc. I've heard some people just get insurance for the year, and opt out of Disney insurance, so I'd like to get as much info as possible!
  • I will need to bring my official birth certificate to Florida
  • I will need to bring professional attire for my first few days of work
  • A couple days before I leave for Florida I need to e-mail Disney and they'll tell me when/where to meet them!
  • When crossing the border I'm going to need to tell the customs agent I'm going to work in Florida to make sure that they stamp my passport
  • There is an $85.50 program assessment fee that can be paid online before I go
  • Save my gas receipts from driving down... Disney will reimburse them
The full package should be arriving at my dad's house in a couple of weeks. It will have all of this information and more!
