September 1st, 2012. One month after my final program ended. Here marks the end of a journey of a lifetime. It was crazy to think that three years ago I was sending my first application to Kristen, hoping and waiting to hear back even if I just past the first stages of interviews. I'll never forget the nerves on the phone, asking if I could handle living abroad during hurricane season with girls from all over the world. I'll truly neverforget having to turn down the program in 2010 and waiting an entire year to make it back in. The scares I had trying to overcome my shady record card to let me back for another summer in 2012.
The moments made in 2011 with the people I love and the nights of tears and fireworks make every second worth the pain of having to say goodbye that summer. Meeting my all-american roommates, the first night on the poly beach, making promises and vows for our summer, co-workers, dance parties, HOB nights, gush fests, falling in love, hammock nights, long days, thunder storms, grad night, cage parties and goodbyes. I knew everything in my power would bring me back in 2012.
We made it, another year abroad and a crazy year at that. Finishing University with Disney always on my mind, I had one goal, and that was another summer with my love in Disney World. Yes, none of my friends were coming back and it would be totally different, but being there was the only path to happiness. We did it! What started off as a rocky summer quickly turned into living for the moments. It was completely opposite of 2011 with terrible roommates, bad schedules, crazy weather and interesting jobs but the moments outside of those were priceless. Making up for lost time and lost experiences, we did all we could to enjoy our last summer in Disney. and that I did..
I'm so thankful and grateful to have had the opportunity to work as a Canadian ICP for the past two years in Walt Disney World. The friends and family I made there will forever have a special place in my heart. I vow to always and forever be a vista girl, a magic kingdom cast member and a cheerleader for the ICP program. I will tell everyone until I die that this program is something you NEED to experience at least once in your lifetime.
The blog will not end. Disney will always have a special place in my heart. What started as a normal fascination turned into my home, my life and my love. I can't wait to bring my kids to Disney World when I'm older and point out where mommy and [hopefully daddy] used to work. I'll update it as much as I see fit. For now, my life is taking me on another journey, across the country where the mountains are calling my name. My other blog will turn into my travel diary, leaving this as a lasting memento of my experiences to forever read again. And I will.
Remember, it's never goodbye...it's see ya real soon.
Forever and always,
-Danielle G, Alumni Cast Member.
