Disney College Program Random Roommate Matching...

I decided to do the random roommate matching when I pick my apartment complex to live in! I'm also  going aheah with my top three apartment choices. In which, I need to have a open mind on my roommate. God, please guild me with a open mind. I trust in you.

I already have my hotel before my check in day! It is SUPER closed to Vista Way! It is in walking distance to check in and check out. I had to asked for a LATE check out time. I looked at Expedia.com when I book the hotel.

I will be arriving by car so, it will help. This will be my longest drive I have ever done by myself. The drive is 16 hours long and that is not counting the pit stops to eat and take a break!

I got accepted into the Disney College Program SA 2014!

Hi y'all! So, I got into the Disney College Program for the Spring Advantage 2014 as Custodial. I don't know what park or resort I will be working at until I get there!!! I will have more freedom to move around the park in my assign area then other Disney College programers who are stuck in one place.

My top three apartment choices are:

1) Patterson

2) Chatham

3) The Commons

I don't know if I am allowed to bring my own car or not. I have to asked my parents about that.  I am hoping to bring my own car.

I so can't wait to get on these rides/sight sighing:

1) Star Wars Weekend

2) Seven Dwarf Mine Train Rollor Coaster

3) Harry Potter World at Island of Adventure/ Universal Studio

4) Sea World

5) Cinderella Royal Suite

6) Hoop Dee Do Musical Review

AFTER 4 years and 8 semesters of trying to get in! I finally am in the program. Yes, I will be doing 2 Disney Classes that they offer. May be one.. I don't know yet.

COMING UP:
In October is Operation Roth Road Trip!
In December is Family trip to Las Vegas.
In January is Disney College Program Spring Advantage.

One step at a time..

It has been a while since I have posted on here! I been lagging on my blog.. I am so not go great at doing these things.

So, I have some great news... I finally got into the Disney College Program for spring Advantage 2014.

I will give yall a update as soon as possiable.

Finals and waiting for training to start

School is almost over in two more days for me. Sorry, I will not be graduating this year with my fellow classmates. I really wish I was but in my heart I will always be Class of 2013!

All paperwork is sign and now I am just waiting to start my job at The Disney Store. I was amazed with the programs they offer for PART TIME  cast members. I am really excited about this! SORRY, I can't tell you about them.

When I was done with paperwork backstage and had to walk onstage to leave the store. I felt like I was transported into a different world. I felt the pride that I would be making magical moment with guest who come into our store.

When I tend to leave from work, I have to be as courted towards the door with a manager. The manager will look in my bag/purse! I think they just want to make sure no cast member will be stealing. I would never steal but that is smart what is Disney is doing!

Disney Store vs. Freedom of fun...

It is all fun and games, if you are a formal cast member! You know what it is like to work at THE DISNEY STORE....

But, some people need to money to make a living! I don't like to stay in one place for too long. I just can't sit still and I need to be doing something. I enjoy driving around in my car but gas is getting to high for my college tail.

In the weekends, I would wound up at Galveston, Texas or Hermann Park in Houston, Texas. It is a quite time for me to read books and enjoy the life that god has given me. But, I need to take care of myself. So, I have taken a job of course part time at The Disney Store. IT IS PART TIME AND NO FULL TIME!!!

This job is to help me with my living and at least for me to do something with my life. I will be given up my Saturdays and/or Sundays. I don't mind given it up at all because I did not have anything to do on those days.

I just hope it does not conflict with my training for the half marathons for the Snow Drop Foundation and my church going. Also, school is going to be out for the summer coming up very soon!  I will have more time to be open for working at The Disney Store.

Also, my old job is not willing to let me go because the parent's partition for me to stay.  I will try and work around my schedule with Disney and the daycare. When school starts back up in fall... I will have to cut the daycare completely. So, It will be my last summer of extreme fun with my students who I seen growing up at the daycare I work at. (THE REASON WHY I AM LEAVING THIS JOB IS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO GIVE ME A SET SCHEDULE AND I AM ALWAYS ON CALL WITH THEM, THE PAY IS LOW BUT I DO ENJOY THE CHILDREN'S MISCHIEF SCHEME EACH DAY! )

I will miss y'all very much! I am still going to be around but not always. Mickey Mouse needs my help at his house and I am willing to help out.  Please don't be mad at your teacher!

Waiting to start and finishing up Sschool...

As days draw near to start work at The Disney Store, I did some background research on working there. This is just from what I hear and I am NOT going to say anything that is out of line...

1) The famous on call! If you are schedule for a shift (they will call you, if you are needed)Basically, You are schedule for the time slot but do not come in until they need back up!

2) You are willing to work on a Saturday and/or  Sunday (maybe all day or just four hours)

3) You will be creating magical moments ( be friendly and always acknowledge the little guest first then the adult guest)

4) when showing a direction to a item, always point with two fingures and smile or show them where the item is at!

5) Please make sure you are in The Disney Look at all times!

6) After completing a conversation with a guest or finishing up a transaction; Make sure you say, "Have a magical day!"
 -a lot of The Disney Stores stop say this and it runes the experience at the store  (I am going to try and bring it back to The Disney Store, where I am going to be working at)

or another one that I just found out is...

When starting a conversation maybe say, "How may I turn your pumpkin into a magical carriage!"
-How may I help you shop for something?

I am hopping on one toe and I really can't wait to start to work there! I need to finish homework but my anxiety is building up. I feel like going to Disney World for the first time but I am not!!

DiSnEy StOrE HIRED!!!!!

I got hired by the Disney Store in my hometown! I was very excited and scared at the same time. I know this is going to be HARD WORK and they were looking for Disney Driven People. This job is not like any other job in the retell experience.. I will start after finals! In addition, I am NOT given up on the Disney College Program Dreams...
