One Week!

Hey guys! Today is officially one week until I am in the car and on my way to Florida to start my amazing journey. It is crazy to think that my countdown was in the hundreds and now it is only seven days away. Although my program is not starting until January 13th, my parents want to take advantage of this opportunity and make a trip out of taking me down. 

We are leaving my house next Friday, January 3rd around five and then stopping late at night somewhere in Florida and then checking into the Beach Club that next morning. We are planning on doing Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights and Fantasmic that night! That next morning we are checking into the Polynesian and staying there the rest of my stay.

Then, on the 12th I will be meeting up with my lovely roommates at night for dinner and staying with one of them, so we can be at check in bright and early! If some of you don't know, at check in you get to find out your location of where you will be working, so I will be able to find that out, and let you guys know! We also get to go to casting and move into our apartment that day as well.

I should be getting a email to do my DORMS (Disney Housing) paperwork sometime this week, so I will talk to you guys then! Until then, have a magical day! See Ya' Real Soon!

See Ya' Real Soon!

Hey guys! Yesterday I started packing for my move to Florida and as I was packing I received this email and I started squealing inside. I am getting so excited for my move to Florida. Today is officially ten days until I pack my car up and leave for Florida.

Time was going so slow in the first couple months, but now it is going by so fast! I am starting to get everything situated and I will be getting on the road in a little less than two weeks! Who knew that time would go by so fast? I can't wait! See you guys real soon! :)

It's December!

Which means… it's officially a month until I move to Florida and my Disney College Program starts. I seriously cannot even put in words how excited I am for January!

I got back from school tuesday night and finished all my school work so I am officially free for winter break, but that really means it's time to get ready to move to Florida! All the packing and paperwork and fun stuff are ahead!

It still honestly hasn't hit me that I am moving to Walt Disney World in less than a month, I can't even phantom it right now.. like how is this possible? This has been my dream since I was a little kid, and I always knew I wanted to work in Disney ever since I stepped into the parks for the first time. It's just crazy because I have been dreaming about this since… forever and now it's finally coming true.

I am arriving to Disney on January 4th, and leaving my house January 3rd! We are checking into Beach Club on January 4th, and then we check into The Polynesian January 5th and will be staying there until I check in for my DCP on January 13th!

See you real soon!
