The
Melbourne pavilion actually did open on the Festivals advertised opening date, there was just
allot that
hadn't been completed, and still
hasn't... the builders come in each morning and paint or fix or alter or add something, so every day we all try and spot whats new!
its taken everyone almost a week to realise how thing are
meant to work, like what the hell were exactly
meant to be doing, when breaks are needed and for alterations to be made to the
schedule as the hours we are working are crazy!
the first weekend was full on, so many guest and we barely had time to realise if we were doing anything the right way, but i
don't think anyone really noticed if we said the wrong thing or spoke about the wrong state in
Australia, as long as we were talking to the guest and the
pavilion was actually open,
that's all that counted. even
Leigh and Andrew got into the Melbourne costumes and were out talking to all the guests and serving wine!
The rest of the week was quite dull in
comparison...so
I'm quite happy that my
scheduled days off are a
Wednesday and
Thursday. Having
weekends off would suck as there the best time to work, the 10 hour days go by so
quickly!

I just found your blog link on the WDWIP site and have loved reading it so thank you! I am also from Australia (Canberra) and have been accepted into the program for 2009. I am soooo excited!!! It's really great to hear about an Aussie's experience at Disney.
I also never realised that Australia is represented as part of the Food & Wine Festival...how did you get involved with that?
