DCP Course Registration
So today was the day Disney opened their registration for the DCP courses. Originally it was scheduled for 12am EST, but it was moved to 10am EST at the last minute. I'm not really sure why, but it's okay. :) Anyways....it was a mad dash. My future roommates and I counted down the minutes, asking our last few questions about the process until "10:00" appeared on our laptops. Then....AWAY WE WENT! All of us college kids rushing to have our first pick of the classes and class times. The website became so flooded, that many of us couldn't even progress past the log-in page. "Server Error 149" I waited the first time for several seconds before I realized that there was no salvaging the page. I panicked. Logged in again. "Server Error 149" I asked my roommates. They were going through the same situation.
"It won't let me past the survey!" One commented in frustration.
Survey? I won't even let me past the password stage. I worried.
This time, I passed the log-in Page Of Doom to be comforted by the "Password Reset Page" directly after. No! I wondered if I would get the chance to schedule even one class that I had been hoping for. 10:07. Several people started posting on the Facebook pages about classes they enrolled for. I patiently tried logging in again. This time, I made it to the first page of the survey!
YES! I cried internally. Almost there!
I filled in three bubbles as to what my interests were for participating in the courses. "Next"
Server Error 149.
Go! Go! 10:10. And back again.
With a few more tries, I made it back to the survey page. This time, I didn't hesitate. I knew that if I saw a break in the system, I had to take advantage of it or lose the opportunity to take classes.

College Courses. PRAISE THE LORD THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TAKEN!
To my surprise, not only were there classes left, but both of the classes I was hoping to take were still available! And they were in the evening!! What kind of miracle is this?!
I fumbled a few times picking the right course times in my utter disbelief and had go through the log-in merry-go-round a few more rounds. Thankfully, Disney set up their registration in a way that saves your previous answers (Thank You Disney!!). This last time, when a slight break in the system appeared, I shot through to the end.

I darted across my house for the nearest available cash supply.
