Lightspeed to Endor (The Quicket Update Yet)

So, I’m a little embarrassed that this is my first post in 2 months. A lot has happened since the last one so this is going to be a super speedy, full of information post! We left off last on my birthday mostly. Since then I “graduated” with my Mouseters Degree from Disney Heritage, I LOVED the class and the facilitator was one of kind. After being completely obsessed with Buzz Lightyear’s Space…

Wow, it’s been a LONG time since I’ve put up a post! I’ve been busy with my family visiting, my birthday, and of course awkward shifts that have me busy during the day and wanting to sleep at night. This post is going to highlight some of the few things that have been going on since I posted last. But don’t worry I have PLENTY to share coming very soon! First off, my birth week. My family came…

Whew! It has been awhile! July is one of the busiest months for Walt Disney World and my schedule definitely proves that. From Fourth of July to the endless Brazilian tour groups I’ve been working 6 days a week but honestly I love it. As the summer begins to wrap up, although the heat doesn’t seem to understand that (it IS possible to get used to it, crazy right?) As many family vacations begin…

Tuesday, June 30th A Day of Accomplishment

Hello there! The crowds have been steadily picking up which means less sleep and longer work hours, but I won’t let any of that rain on my parade. Because Tuesday, June 30th was the day I was going to do everything. One of the girls that we were going to live with in Florida had gotten Be Our Guest reservations for breakfast, which just started around April. I had been looking forward to this and…

Today is my one month since I moved into my apartment at Disney (not sure if that is a real thing, but I’m making it one.) Over the last 2 weeks I haven’t been getting as many hours so I’ve taken full advantage of enjoying the parks. I had a couple of days off in a row and I took a trip to see some family in Georgia, which was really nice. On Monday I met up with some friends from school at Epcot…

I've Earned My Ears!

I’ve Earned My Ears!

The day has finally come that I don’t show up to work with the red ribbon, the ribbon that is basically equivalent of wearing a lanyard in college (typical freshman move), except at Disney every welcomes you to the company and will answer questions when you’re lost. I have officially earned my ears! Training is all done and that means I am just like the other 70k Disney employees with a cool name…

First Week: COMPLETED

The last week has been a whirlwind of excitement, new things, and even learning to get around everywhere driving. Last I left off was right before leaving for Traditions, but I decided that it was too awesome that I really don’t want to ruin the magic of it all. (I apologize in advance for the length of this) It was in a nut shell, orientation to the company and the expectations of everyone that…

At Last I See the Light (A New Adventure)

As many of you know, May 26th was my check in date to the Disney College Program. It has been a very busy and exciting last couple of days and I can’t wait to get started! I’ll do a little recap of the last few days… Tuesday, May 26th: Check-in was bright and early right at 8am. I met up with my hopefully potential roommate and we waited in line together. The first line we stood in was where we…

Disney College Program Bucket List

This is the moment all of you have been waiting for I’m sure….. my Disney College Program Bucket list!! I have created a list of things that I have not yet done before at Disney and the surrounding area. The challenge: 50 (and counting) activities with 7 months to complete each one. Now I understand some of these realistically may not happen BUT I can dream, right?! The ones that are finished…

May the Fourth Be With You

For this post I’m steering away from my typical updates and news. Once I complete the Disney College Program I want to be able to use this blog as a source of sharing my Disney photography as well as further information and thoughts on Disney related items.

As Star Wars Weekends quickly approaches as well as the Coolest Summer Ever 24-Hour Party I want to share my trip from the Rock Your Disney…

Updates and Excitement

It’s been a little over a month since my last post, and let me tell you, it has been BUSY! This semester is kicking my butt, and I only have a little over 3 weeks left of school (thank goodness, because I’m sure if I would make it.) A few Disney related things have happened since last time so I’m here to share them with you!!

I’m excited to say I’ve found my hopeful roommate for the college…

Accepted!!!

Here is a little recap for those just joining: I applied for the Disney College Program (DCP) for Fall Advantage 2015, my Phone Interview (PI) was on January 31st. I was told by my interviewer that most decisions will come out mid-March, and all decisions would be out April 20th at the latest. My heart sank when I heard this, although it wasn’t much of a surprise, I knew this was going to be the…
