First few days of the Disney College Program

So on Monday I finally checked in for my program! I arrived at Vista Way around 7:15am. I then had to wait in a line at the entrance until they lead us back to the building we were going to go through check in in. I met up with my roommates and we got in line. We all got stick on temporary nametags. Then we got our program book. After that we got our sticker that says where we will be working. I will be working at Pecos Bill's Cafe in Magic Kingdom!!!! I am so excited to be working in Magic Kingdom! 

After that we got our housing assignment and found out we are in a 4 bedroom in Chatham. We requested a 3 bedroom, but now we can make more friends! The 2 other girls with us are nice and I am even rooming with one of them. Me and 4 of my other roommates are working in Magic Kingdom, 2 in Hollywood Studios and 1 at the All Star Resorts. 

After that we went over some more details, got our housing ID and apartment key then headed over to casting. Everyone was so nice and helpful. It went by pretty fast. When i was done I got on the bus to go back. Then I met up my my family to head over to my apartment to unpack. After getting all my stuff out of my apartment we went to Publix and Walmart for some stuff. After that we got Chick-fil-a then I said bye to my parents. When I was back at my apartment I did some more unpacking and organizing. Then at night I went to Downtown Disney with 2 of my roommates.

On Tuesday I had my housing meeting at 1pm where they went over some rules. They made it a little more entertaining by asking some trivia questions for prizes and playing music. After that I went to Target with my roommates and at night we just hung out at the apartment because it was storming.

Today the plan is to go to Beaches and Cream and get the kitchen sink with my roommates!

DCP: Weekend before check in!!!!

My journey to check in began on Thursday June 5th. We left PA at 3:14am and got to Savannah around 6pm. Along the way we stopped at South of the Border to take some funny pictures then continued on. After we got settled in our hotel we ate at Longhorn steakhouse then drove into Savannah to look around. We drove around the historic section of Savannah including Forsyth park and took pictures. The trees were all really pretty and the area was nice. I was surprised how little traffic there was fora city. I also noticed how clean everything was. It was a nice little side trip. After exploring we went back to the hotel and went to sleep. The next day we woke up and headed on our way. In the morning over breakfast we decided to stop at the Daytona International Speedway. While we were there we took a tour of the stadium and my dad did a ride along in one of the racecars. We were there for a decent amount of time then we ate dinner at Outback. After eating we drove the rest of the way to Lake Buena Vista. We checked into the hotel then relaxed for the rest of the night.

On Saturday we went to Epcot. We got there right when it opened and went straight to Soarin'. It was great! We got right on! Overall the park did not seem too crowded. We got to do all the rides we wanted to as well as visit all of countries and really take it all in and see everything.

Today we went to Downtown Disney for a while. We ate lunch at the at the T-Rex restaurant and had ice cream at Ghiradelli. Then we went in some stores and headed back to the hotel.

We have been busy these past few days! Also Orange is the New Black season 2 was released on Netflix so I will have to find time to fit that into my schedule soon. I don't know when I will get around to it though with starting work soon but we will see! I am excited to check in tomorrow and meet everyone and find out where I will be working!!!!!

Tomorrow will be just like going to college except I won't have any homework, I get to live in Florida and I can go to Disney World everyday. Other than that its the same thing hahaha

DCP: T-minus 3 days

In 3 days I will be leaving PA and heading to Florida to start the Disney College Program! I am so excited! But still a little nervous. I am sure everything will be a lot of fun and I will make plenty of friends! I have been away from home for college for a while so I know what it is like to be away. But it is still a little nerve wracking that I will be so far away from home. I have gotten most of my packing done. I finally received my new hire paperwork and DORMS emails on Thursday so all of that is taken care of. I was getting nervous because I had to wait so long to get it but everything worked out and everything is all in order. My roommates and I all were able to request each other to live together so hopefully everything with housing works out! In the next couple of days I will be meeting up with friends for last goodbyes and I will finish packing. Then the journey to Florida will begin and I can start my time in the Disney College Program!!!
