Adventures in the Animal Kingdom: A Disney Cast Member's Backstage Journal

This is not Caroline's first time in the Disney College Program. Along with her older sister, she was accepted into the program a few years earlier, but who ever gets enough pixie dust. Not Caroline. So she came back, and that's when things got wild. Wild, as in Disney's Animal Kingdom, where Caroline is assigned to work in Stroller Rental. While not the most glamorous position in the park, it's often ground zero for humanity at its best and at its worst. While Caroline made many "magical moments" for deserving guests whose pixie dust had gone temporarily sideways, she also received magical moments of her own through the friendships she makes and by attending exclusive events for Disney cast members. Caroline tells all, from the ins and outs of Traditions, Disney's "secret" training class, to learning how to be a shiny, happy cast member during on-the-job training, to what it's like to interact with fellow cast members and the daily horde of excited, anxious, annoying, and sometimes perplexed visitors to the most magical place on earth. Join Caroline as she takes you on a wild ride through her adventures in Disney's Animal Kingdom. But be careful, it's a jungle out there!
