Would you like to Go to Disney World For Free Part II

If you have been reading about the Disney College Program and you are interested in going.  You must be a college student taking a course in order to claim your free admission to WDW parks.

The Traditions Workshop

After you are fully moved in to your apartment, you may have a free day to relax before you go to Traditions to relax.  On the morning of the Traditions Workshop, you will board a bus that will take you to the Walt Disney University, located at the back of Magic Kingdom Park either early in the morning.  If you are lucky, you may get to take the afternoon session because you can sleep in.

Arrival

When you arrive at WDU, you will be divided into groups and ushered to a table to get your Disney ID that grants free admission into the parks.  Once you get that, you can punch in and than you are ushered into the presentation room.  Before you enter the presentation room, there is a person with a clip board who will make sure your name, city, college info is correct.  This info will be engraved on your Name Tag.  Inside the presentation room, you will be seated at circular tables with five other people and the 4-5 hour presentation is underway. 

Part 1

When the presentation begins, you will watch a bunch of vintage videos about the history and future of Disneyland and Disney World.  There are some fun interactive games to play during the presentation where you could win some figurines.  You will learn the Disney Two-Finger-Point because the one finger point is claimed to be rude according to the Disney Ethic. 

Part II The Magic Kingdom Underground / Backstage

After listening to some of the boring stuff, you will board a bus to the Magic Kingdom Underground (utilidors) for some excitement of behind the scenes of Disney.  Note, Photography is not permitted during this tour because it could spoil the magic to the guests who may want to visit Disney.  During this tour you will see the Cast Member's Mess Hall and Costuming.  You get to learn some utilidor Safe-D (safety) like "Stop at all intersections".  Following the Magic Kingdom Underground tour, you will get on the bus back to WDU for the third part of the presentation.

Part III Mickey Mouse and Name Tag Giveaway

When you get back from the Magic Kingdom Underground, you will start the final part of the presentation.  This is the Moment that everyone is Looking forward for.  Mickey Mouse will be present for this portion of the Presentation for some more trivia.  Last but not Least, Mickey Mouse will bring in a box with everyone's Name Tags.  Once everyone gets their name tags, you will put it on your left side on your most outer garment.  Upon closing of the presentation, you can clock out and board a bus back to your apartment.

Post Traditions

When you get back to your apartment following the Traditions Workshop, you may have a few days to relax, and explore the parks.  If you visit a park and your ID is not active, you can tell a cast member that you just attended the Traditions Workshop and they will let you in.
