Working PAC
Aaaaaaaaand now a big old Thoughts About A Disney Thing Post.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve lost my proficiencies (ability to pick up/work) at my Liberty Square attractions. Because of this, I’ve been thinking a lot about what made working in Liberty Square special for me for the last two months. I feel like I don’t have to say too much about what makes the Haunted Mansion a special place to work, if the number of people who go ‘oh my GOD I want to work in the haunted mansion!!!’ when I tell them where I transferred from is any indication.
BUT. I feel like a lot of people don’t really get PAC. PAC is Parade Audience Control, and it’s the best thing ever. If you’re looking into the CP you’ve probably heard about picking up fireworks PAC shifts - that’s not what I’m talking about. I mean real PAC, at the 3pm (or 2pm, right now) parade.
From my perspective, PAC is one of the coolest and most Disney things that you can do while working here. It’s really something special. Parade is a great big balancing act between several lines of business - Entertainment, Operations/Attractions, Merchandise, and sometimes even Food & Beverage! We’re all moving around each other, managing updates to what’s going on, and trying not to interfere with each other while trying to make the guests’ experience as great as possible.
It’s highly interactive. We spend an hour and a half to two hours on average out on the parade route, and the best way to get people to do what you need them to do is to talk to them.
Sometimes we had to work around Great Moments in American History with the Muppets, too, which was such a cool neighbor to have but came with its own problems (like the fact that everybody blocks up the walkway) that we had to manage. We’d also sometimes run into some Country Bears while we were setting up!
At the end of the day, Parade is often one of the highlights of the day for the guests, and at PAC you get to be a part of that. You get to work with incredible people at an awesome event - and where else do you get to see a parade every day?
(I say ‘see a parade’ instead of ‘watch a parade’ because when you’re working your eyes just kind of glide across it while you’re looking at the guests on your side or across from you, but the parade is there and that’s really cool)
People are (generally) happy at parade. Even in the rain it’s happy.
So if you’re on CP somewhere that does PAC: embrace it. PAC is such a fun adventure to be on. It’s hot, it’s sweaty, you’ll get rained on, and you’ll love it.

quick update
I got my arrival itinerary a few days ago, but have been busy packing and whatnot and didn’t get a chance to write a post until now. I’ll be living in the Commons and working at Magic Kingdom! (!!!) I’m pretty stoked to say the least.
I’ve got check in and casting on Tuesday, my housing meeting on Thursday, and Traditions on Saturday. A little bit of a wait for Traditions but I’m sure the time will fly by. Stay tuned for posts from this weekend because I leave tomorrow morning (holy crap) to fly to Texas to visit a friend for like a day and a half and then I’m flying from there to Orlando to start my program (AND my best friend is coming with me to Texas/Florida to help move me in, so I can’t wait).
More posts soon, have a magical day!

i have made a horrible decision to come back to tumblr, probably former CP that can answer questions about the disney college program, so if any of y'all out there have any, feel free to shoot me an inbox 😊
