I got a Christmas Present early!

I got a Christmas present early this year and it's not one that can be bought with money but rather hard work I guess. I got a call for a full time transfer to fastpass+ kiosk at Magic Kingdom! It will be effective on Monday December 23! yay clapping biggrin stars yeah bighug banana banana banana banana banana banana

For those of you wondering, housekeeping didn't work out but I gave it my best shot. Now I get to start a completely new chapter in life! I'm just really excited guys!

Thank you all!! I'm so excited! The good part is that this is a brand new team and that has only been around since like October. or so. So everyone is brand new to the role. I have plenty of room to grow if I decide to stay with it long term.

The kiosks are at Mickey's PhilharMagic, Near the Diamond Horseshoe and Near Pete's Silly Slidshow. Temporary locations are Town Square Theater and Splash Mountain. Coming soon is Stitch's Great Escape. I think we rotate between all the stations. They also have mobile ones as well.

Thank you Eeyore!

What a great Christmas present - it sounds like a fun job. I'm hoping to book a trip for us either in May or October - we'll definitely look for you if we do.

Hey Mandy - just wondering how your new job is going? We're headed to WDW in a few days so will probably see you around MK.

It's going great. I am kind of tired of hearing how the new system doesn't work for people because they can only get three and have to use them in the same park. I'm also tired of hearing annual passholders complain because they feel they should get more perks then the resort guests. Other then hearing the same negative comments, it's going great. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now. The good parts definitely out weigh the bad parts. I love my new co-workers and I like most of my new coordinators and managers. I haven't met all of my managers yet.

That is interesting that some of the AP holders complain. It's sorta backwards logic if you think about it. I'd imagine resort guests easily spend far more $$$ in 7(+) days than an AP holder will spend in one year.

It's the local AP holders that usually have a problem have a problem with the system.
