#dcp spring 2016

[tangled----up]

hello everyone. long time, no see. 👋 it's been a while since i last logged on here, but i'm happy to say i'm back for as long as you want a little pixie dust in your life. ✨ some answers for everyone: - i was able to pay my fall 2015 fees, but unfortunately had to pull out due to school not being nice about me going (lol) - i DID, however, do the WDW cp spring advantage of 2016, so i did make it out there and it was every bit as amazing as i thought it would be - i'm currently back in utah, working (with a better paying job and a more financially secure situation) and going to school - i actually had one of the biggest growth periods this last two years or so since i left tumblr, and am hopefully more mature now 😊 if anyone has any questions, about the DCP, about my time away, and why i left tumblr for a little bit-- please send me a message. my inbox is always open. glad to be back y'all. 🙌

Here are half of my friends leaving as their spring program ended. I stayed through the summer for spring advantage and had to miss them every day. Long live hip pack. (via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t23ybzUOnA)

Flashback to last September when I woke up to this in my email. Getting up every morning and going to work at Disneyland has become so second nature, but now the college program is almost over and there’s no guarantee that I will still have a job in three weeks’ time.

It’s good to remember that there was a time when I never would have grumbled at getting up at 6am to stand at the castle for 8 hours. To remember the butterflies in my stomach and shouting to my mom “I’M GOING TO DISNEYLAND!!!” I don’t want it to be over, and I hope I get to stay. But whether I do or I don’t, I want to remember how magical it really is to be here and how lucky I am. For the next three weeks, and hopefully beyond, I’m going to do my job like it’s my first day again. I owe myself that much.

DCP to PT - Working At Animal Kingdom Lodge

I talk about lifeguarding at Animal Kingdom Lodge. There are definitely things that are non lifeguard specific that I’m going to post about the lodge, so feel free to let me know if you have a question!
