Traditions and a Magical Moment

Yesterday I had my Traditions Class. The Traditions Class is an introductory seminar on the Walt Disney Company. It was amazing. We got to watch a video were Walt Disney himself was welcoming all the employees to Disneyland, I got chills.  I knew that Disney was one of the largest entertaining corporations in the World, but to see everything that they have their hands in was amazing. They own several production companies, televisions stations, and several theater productions. We also learned that the Disney Parks are not theme parks, they are a show. When you are in the park you are on stage and have to be in costume. We played games in class and I won a little Minnie Mouse. The day finished up with Mickey Mouse coming into our classroom and giving us our official Disney Nametags! it was so cool! This whole experience was just unbelievable, I feel like I am in a dream:)

Once Traditions was over, two of my roommates and I went to Magic Kingdom. We got there right before the fireworks were about to start, so we ran over to Splash Mountain and got right on and watch the fireworks while riding, it was so magical. after that we went on thunder mountain, where there was not wait, and we had a Magical Moment and got to ride it twice! we didn't have to get off, the cast member told us to stay on. we finished the night with a ride on Pirates. On our way out we got to see some of the electrical parade. It was an amazing night at the Magic Kingdom.

Until next time,

Finally Made It!

I am finally in Florida and all moved in! Yesterday started bright and early for me. I got up and was in the check-in line around 7:00. While I was in line I met someone who was very similar to me, so her and her roommate signed up to live with me and my roommate. All four of us (Me, Jenay, Brianna, and Samantha) will be living in Patterson in a 2 bedroom. the Patterson Apartments are really nice; they are almost brand new and there is 24 hour security. Once all the housing was taken care of, we headed over to casting where we were assigned our roles. I will be a greeter at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park! I am so excited because I heard that the Animal Kingdom doesn't stay open really late like all of the other parks.
Once the casting was over, I finally was able to go see my new apartment. It is really nice. Jenay and I share a bathroom that is connected to our bedroom and Brianna and Samantha are in the other bedroom with  their own bathroom. We have areally nice balcony and my Mom said she would be willing to buy us some patio furniture, Thanks Mom!.  The rest of the afternoon consisted of unpacking, doing some shopping and having a housing meeting.
Last night I went out with my parents for one last dinner together before they left. We went to eat at Downtown Disney. That place has such a great night life, I have a feeling I will be spending many nights there over the next few months. Once dinner was over we walked around for a little bit and then I said goodbye to my parents and headed back to my apartment where I finished unpacking and hanging up all my clothes. After everything was put away I got ready for my first night in me new apartment.
This morning I woke up and looked out my window and saw palm trees! that made me really happy. But so far for most of the day it has been raining. I ran some errands to get some more things for the apartment and I got to sign up for my corporate analysis class that I will be taking. I lucked out, because my class is in the Patterson Classrooms so I don't have to walk very far to get to class. So far I have been very lucky, I have gotten everything that I wanted!

until next time,

It's Almost Time :)

I am so excited because in exactly one week I will be officially in Florida! I have some packing already done, plus I got a shopping list put together. I am kind of sad right now because I just got back form Green Bay where I got to see one of my best friends form college, but I am not sure when I will see her again if I decide to do another program or an internship at Disney :(
On a good note, I have found out that "Beauty and the Beast" is coming out on DVD October 8th. I get to be in Disney when it is released.
ONLY 8 DAYS LEFT UNTIL MOVE IN DAY!
