My first week at Disney Springs was a great time and a great experience I had gone into this thinking they would not have given me as much work as if I was going to work at one of the theme parks but it turns out Disney Springs is just as busy as the parks I had my first week of training at D-Luxe Burger and I worked almost all the stations from registers to Shake maker it was all very fast and intense and I made a few mistakes while at Shakes but I have learned that you can turn any mistake into something magical because when I had made an extra milkshake by accident my trainer instead of telling me to toss it they told me to go out into the tables and “Make some Magic” and I chose a child to give the free milkshake to and told him it was from Mickey himself. The smile I saw on that kids face made me feel pretty good about making a mistake being here has you looking at things through a whole new lens.
