Hi, my name is Mitchell, and I'm
a convention guide on the
Disney College Program. 
When I was looking to apply,
I knew that I wanted to work 
in a role that had high guest 
interaction and where we got to
work in several different parks
and different events.
As a convention guide, we get to
work the Not-So-Scary Halloween
parties, the Very Merry
Christmas parties, the seminars
at Food and Wine...In the
spring, there's a lot of
marathon shifts with runDisney 
and the Epcot Flower
and Garden Festival.
We get a lot of guest 
interaction. We get to check 
people in for events, we answer
questions about the events, we
serve as greeters, and we 
sometimes get to lead guests
guests throughout the park. 
We do have heavy lifting
sometimes. Whether that be
30-pound boxes at Halloween
parties...We also stand for long
periods of time and sometimes
walk long distances throughout
the park.
I work nonconventional hours. 
Sometimes they can vary working
nighttime shifts at the
Not-So-Scary Halloween parties 
or Christmas parties, working
early mornings shifts with
runDisney, or working midday
shifts with the seminars at 
Food and Wine.
So, this role has prepared me 
for the future in multiple ways,
and I think that I'll take the
experiences I've had here to
sort of look for a career in
which I get to help people.
