Hurry Up and Wait

So, no mail today. However, I'm hoping tomorrow brings good news- but with my luck I'll probably hear closer to the week six mark :( It will be three weeks and four days tomorrow. Ugh. I suppose the longer I wait now, the less I wait to go down (hopefully!). High School Musical 3 comes out tomorrow too!! I'm so very excited. My sister and I are going to WalMart at midnight to buy it!

Still Waiting...

So I'm hoping to hear this week, however I think it may be a little longer. I emailed my recruiter to see if they had my role checklist and it seems they got a large amount at one time and they're still sorting through them. So, this means I don't know if they have everything they need- let alone sending out (hopefully) my folder. So- I'm holding my breath, but it may be later than I had hoped!

Now We Wait.

Had my interview on Friday morning. I think I did alright. I felt better the last time I interviewed. I checked Attractions, Character Attendant, PhotoPass, Recreation, and Merchandise. I really want Attractions. Really. I feel like I had good answers, it just have taken me too long to get them out. Too much babble maybe. Hopefully I'm okay!
They seemed more concerned about my tattoos this time. I have two small tattoos. One on the back of my neck and one on my ankle. I have absolutely no problem covering them, and I tried to get that across, but my interviewer said something like, "I have to think where we could put you..."
They told me that I should know by the end of February, that's a long time! And I feel uneasy after my interview, so this is going to be a hard wait...

Application!

I've officially applied! The applications came up Tuesday evening, and I completed mine a few hours after they were posted. I scheduled my interview Wednesday morning for Friday at 11:30am with Elizabeth! That's tomorrow! I forget how short the application process is. Just takes a few minutes, and then the waiting starts again.
As for the roles I checked- the one I really want is Attractions. I want to work an attraction in Magic Kingdom. I don't care which one. Haunted Mansion would be really cool, or one of the mountains. I hear Space Mountain will be closed from April until at least the end of the year. Boo!
I've found my roommate, and parents are driving me down to move in. It will be a very long trip! I have a cousin getting married in Alabama May 16th, so it would be great if I could move in the Monday after that. Fingers crossed! We want to live in Patterson. It being newer is a big reason.
I am so excited/relieved/happy/nervous/anxious that this process has finally started again. Here we go!!

Let's Roll!

I'm hoping tomorrow will be the day the applications go up. The wait is killing me... Let's get this ball rolling!

New Year!

Its officially 2009, and although Penn State is crashing and burning at the Rose Bowl, I am pumped that the applications will be up soon. I had a wonderful, family filled Christmas and New Year. It was a great time! I got a few books about Walt Disney that I'm looking forward to reading. My sister got this sweet Disney Villain Monopoly, and you can choose what villains go on which properties, and you can change them. They're like the window sticky things. Its loads of fun, even if I usually lose...
I have found a roommate! We met on facebook, and I think we're going to have tons of crazy times. I'm a little ahead of myself, since neither of us has even applied yet, but its still exciting.

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.
