My Final DLRCP Post: Today marked my very last shift of my Disneyland Resort College Program! To say that out of the 40000 people that apply to be a CP only 400 got accepted into Disneyland. It was quite an honor to be a part in making the magic for the many guests that walk into the park. I was so happy when I found out that I was going to be working in Tomorrowland stores! I loved being surrounded by all things Star Wars. Then I got to go even further and be trained at Star Wars Launch Bay! I met so many amazing friends whether it be my very first day at Traditions to all the amazing people that I worked with! Most of us may have worked too much and didn't have time to hang out. But the times we were able to hang out were amazing! This may sound like the end, but it's just the beginning with my time in Disney. I would like to officially announce that I will be going part time in Disneyland! I will still be in my home location and will be able to continue making the magic! Thank you to everyone that has made my DLRCP amazing! #dreamscometrue #disney #disneyprograms #dlrcpspring17 (at Disneyland)

Day 201: I checked my dad, Christine, and Ricky into the park before my Expo shift. They came by to say hi to me while I was over there and as soon as they leg I ended up selling a First Order storm trooper helmet. Then I met up with them in the park and I was finally able to ride on the train and the Mark Twain. All of the stuff they they redid was amazing! It truly was breathtaking. Even the small changes they did during the Grand Canyon and the Dinosaur scene was great! Will definitely do it over and over again. #dreamscometrue #disney #disneyprograms #dlrcpspring17 (at Disneyland)

Day 199: Before work I met up with Marilyn and we had some lunch at House of Blues! They actually have a great lunch special where you get a soup or salad, an entree, and dessert for $13! A great deal and delicious food as always. I had the chicken sandwich and a key lime pie. We just walked around for a bit then I went off to work Expo. It was kind of an unusual day over there today, but it got fun near the end! Sold a bunch of high ticket items, so that was cool! #dreamscometrue #disney #disneyprograms #dlrcpspring17 #food (at House of Blues Anaheim)

Day 198: Originally my BakerCorp internship was supposed to be over last week. However I got approved to stay on for another three months with more hours! So I started working the extra hours this week. After I finished up at BakerCorp I had a shift at Expo and it was definitely the slowest it's ever been. After that I headed on home and played a little bit of Skyrim! I just bought it for the PS4 over the weekend on the Play Station store since they had a sale to get it for 50% off! I forgot how much I loved this game when I had it for the PS3! #dreamscometrue #skyrim (at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve)

Day 197: Another amazing night at Surf City Nights! Sat and watched a couple of awesome bands this evening! You can definitely tell that it's near the end of summer since there's not as many people. Overall an another amazing night at Surf City Nights! #beachlife #dreamscometrue #dlrcpspring17 (at Huntington Beach Pier at Main Street)

Day 196: After work I went on a walk with my dad and Christine around the reserve! From there I headed on over to Red Table for some Happy Hour. I had some delicious pork tacos with fire roasted salsa and some grilled lime on the side. Definitely some of the best happy hour food around. I love that it's walking distance from me! #dreamscometrue #beachlife (at Red Table Restaurants)

Day 195: I had a pretty short shift today, so I was able to go out and do something. Ended up hanging on Main Street for a little bit! I wanted to do the last bit of the US Open of Surfing, but by the time I got down there most of the activities were done. So ended up going to a bar for Reggae Sunday, which was fun! And since it was Sunday I had to watch Game of Thrones! #dreamscometrue #beachlife (at US Open of Surfing)

Day 194: Got up at 4 am and headed to do a 5K at Disneyland with Christine! It was a Cast Exclusive Friends and Family 5K and it was amazing. We ran through Disneyland and California Adventure! They had some of the attractions running without people on them like the Tea Cups and the Carousel! When we finished the race they had all the fountains for World of Color going and they had a bunch of free goodies for us after. Went home to take a nap before working a 2:45-2am shift, so that was fun! While at work Toby came by to say hi to me with his family. I'm ready to crash and get up to work in 9 hours! #dreamscometrue #disney #disneyprograms #dlrcpspring17 (at Disneyland)

Day 193: Was originally supposed to be working till 12:30 tonight, but luckily I got an ER for 10:45! I have to be up pretty early tomorrow morning so now I can get some extra sleep. I actually ran into some old friends from ASU Andrew and Lauren! It was definitely nice catching up since it's been a while. I saw the new Disneyland Line and it was of the new train route. I still have yet to do it and it will be the first thing I do next time I have a park day! #dreamscometrue #disney #disneyprograms #dlrcpspring17 (at Disneyland)

Day 192: Finally was able to get an oil change on my car and get a much needed car wash! After that I headed on down to the US Open of Surfing to check out some of the qualifying rounds for the Men's Surfing competition. Definitely some very talented surfers! Then it was off to work where for the last hour of my shift I worked Space Imaging, which has been quite a while since I've been there. #dreamscometrue #beachlife #dlrcpspring17 (at US Open of Surfing)

Day 191: Just decided to relax today! The most eventful part of the day was getting my gift certificate for one free popcorn at the Tomorrowland popcorn stand! This was from the contest that we've been participating all summer longer so this was just one of the prizes that I won! #dreamscometrue #disney #disneyprograms #dlrcpspring17 (at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve)

Day 190: A bunch of my family ended up joining me for Surf City Nights! We met up at Legends before exploring around and checking out the bands. I always love spending time with my family! #dreamscometrue #beachlife #dlrcpspring17 (at Huntington Beach Pier at Main Street)

Day 189: After work I headed on over to Downtown HB because they were having a movie night for the US Open of Surfing! They were playing ET, which I have not seen for a while. I didn't get to finish it, but it was still great. I ended up leaving early so I could have dinner with Emily, Tanner, and Stephanie! It was great to hang out with them all since the DCP is ending soon. Overall a great day! #dreamscometrue #beachlife #dlrcpspring17 (at US Open of Surfing)
