Want to Be a Disney and Universal Theme Park Tester? This Girl Got the Job! - Inside the Magic

Back in early January, we shared the story that a company was looking for a theme park fan who would be willing to experience Disney and Universal parks for three weeks…and they were going to pay. Now, we’ve just learned that a young woman was hired for this dream job.

Glasgow Live reports that over 63,000 people from all around the world applied to be a theme park tester for Ocean Florida, a U.K. travel agency who was hiring for the role. And Alexandria Adamson of Glasgow, Scotland just got the job.

Adamson is a 25-year-old “theme park nerd” who studied theme park design in college and also worked for The Walt Disney Company previously. For three weeks, she and a friend will get to go to Florida and test out all of the amazing offerings at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando.

“I just feel like I’m waiting for someone to wake me up from a dream. I feel so very lucky, the whole process has been so surreal and it hasn’t quite sunk in yet,” Adamson said to Glasgow Live. “I’m just so excited to get out there and start doing it all. I can’t wait to show everyone why there’s nowhere else in the world quite like Florida – although I’m going to have to start hitting the gym to prepare myself for all the walking I’ll be getting in during those three weeks plus all the food I’ll be eating!”

Below is the original job description from the U.K. travel agency Ocean Florida:
