It's a BIG blue world...

Man, I am really hooked on these freakin' boards in regards to the Disney College Program. I've "met" and spoken to all these amazing alumni and fellow future CPers - including Chris Saribay. Chris has an AMAZING blog about the Disney College Program experience, and I invite ALL future CPers to visit it ~> http://chrissaribay.com/disney-blog/

Chris has also listed Lee Cockerell's blog on LESSONS IN LEADERSHIP ~> http://leecockerell.com/blog/ . Lee had been the Executive Vice President of Operations for the Walt Disney Resort and has recently retired.

Unfortunately I haven't had time to really check out either, but when you have a chance - DO SO!

Update on packing, etc:

Banking. So I realized that Sovereign Bank was NOT in Florida - or at least near Disney. So it was a revelation that I'm going to have to switch over to my Bank of America account as my main bank for a while...which is probably smarter since Bank of America is all over and Sovereign...well...isn't. Oh well.

And I still don't know about the roommate thing. I pulled out of automatic matching for now...

Car update:
Hahaha. Still at a stand still on this issue.
I haven't been able to talk to my parents yet. SO many of my friends have already driven to Florida, so I don't see the problem.
The Auto Train is SO expensive - so I'm kind of ruling that out.
A flight to Disney is about $100ish ... so it's a definite option - BUT ONLY TWO BAGS?! Come on! I'll be living there for quite a few months!
There is the possible option of my parents driving down 4th of July weekend, dropping off my car, and then catching a flight back up to Jersey - if they don't kill each other on the way down. 24 hours straight in a car? NOT fun. I've heard the horror stories.
SO I'm still torn. EVERYONE says to bring your car, that it's imperative! I really really really want to have my car just because I'm independent like that....ARGH!

1 month and 4 days, right? Something around there... yeah.

Well, at least I have over a month to sort this out...I only have a week to write my performance studies paper...eek...:)

Heigh ho, Heigh ho, so much for doing work...

Yeah. So much for doing work tonight! I've been looking up new templates for my blog and side bar additions...This is awful....

But I found that I can let other people post on this blog. Cool. Maybe this will end up becoming a blog for my friends and I to share while doing the CP... We'll see...

Well, guess I'm off to take a shower so I can wake up bright and early for Jim's directing class of death tomorrow...eek...

Have a good night everyone and see ya real soon!

When you wish upon a *star*....

It's funny what a small world (No Disney pun intended) the world really is.

Who knew in 1988 that 20 years from then, the little girl in the pink outfit above would be fulfilling her dream of working in Disney World? She was just wondering what Minnie or Mickey Mouse doll she wanted...

And now, it's 2008. I'm graduating from Muhlenberg College on May 18th...and what wiill I be doing with my life? The Disney College Program!

I'll be arriving on May 28th to do MERCHANDISE. I don't know where I'm living, who I'm living with, or where I'm working - but I'm EXCITED!

And guess what? I haven't been doing any school work lately - instead I've been checking out DWCPInfo.com and DisBoards.com to meet other people who are alumni of the program or who will be joining me for the Fall (ADVANTAGE!) program! Suffice to say, I'm a bit excited.

I laughed at the Wikipedia site when it had a quote from people who are opposed to the Disney College Program. Critics beleive it is Disney's way of hiring cheap labor...which may or may not be true...but damn it all, at least I'll have fun doing cheap labor!

So that's it for now. I'm gonna go do work for Jim's class. Hope everyone has a great night! I'll try to post my packing progress until I get there! WOO! 1 month and 5 days left!
