The website was down the first time I tried to accept my offer. Now when I log in, it says my season is Fall 2008, not Fall Advantage 2009. I'm not worried, I just have to call tomorrow and talk to my recruiter/tech support.
Danielle has just introduced me to Disney Couture. It is so beautiful, and I cannot wait to start collecting!
In other news, my heart goes out to everyone that's been rejected. I know that I would have been miserable for months if I wasn't accepted. Everyday I realize that this program is a privilege, and I will not take advantage of it. I think it is just awesome that Disney wants me in their cast, and I hope everyone will keep trying! I can't wait for all my new cyber friends to be my fellow cast members and real life friends!! This is exactly the amazing thing I've been waiting for in my life that is going to change it. Here we go!!

My Disney History
This particular entry is going to be about my Disney history. My visits, my CP experiences thus far, and what I want out of the CP (should I be accepted).
Since I can remember, I've begged my parents to take us to Disney World. The response was always, next summer, next summer. I used to get really angry when I was a kid, but now I realize that five young kids in WDW is not a safe or affordable thing. It would just have to wait.
I graduated high school, my oldest sister got her undergraduate degree, and my Dad got his masters in 2006, and as a gift from a close family friend, they gave us a week at their time share. My sister and I got to pick where we wanted to go. I immediately said Florida. She never really cared to go to Disney, but I talked her into it, and that's where the rest of the family wanted to go, so it was final. Orange Lake Resort in Orlando, from December 27, 2007- January 3, 2008.
I was 20 years old, and I knew that WDW was going to be amazing, and it was definitely a dream come true, but I didn't think it was going to be magical. Well, it absolutely was. The first time I saw the castle, I was breathless. I never felt so free, and just completely happy. Nothing in the world mattered, it was total enjoyment. We went to every park, and spent New Year's Eve in Magic Kingdom. The fireworks were amazing. AMAZING.
So I've only been to WDW once, and it was almost a year ago, but I've been thinking about it ever since. Last February, I applied for the DCP. After a lot of waiting, and thinking that I wouldn't get in, I was accpeted to Costuming for Fall 2008. However after a lot of issues (some in my control, some not) I had to turn it down, which was horrible. When ever my life starts to suck... I think "I could be at Disney right now." Not fun.
Anyway, I'm now waiting for January to apply for Fall Advantage, and I'm really hoping to work Attractions in MK. That would be ideal, but I'll take anything and make to most of it!
My current plan is to do the CP in the Fall, finish school, do another CP, and then try to get a Professional Intership or go Full Time and work my way up in the Walt Disney Company. For now, I just have to get my foot in the door.
