Happy New Years!!
Happy New Years Eve everyone! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas holiday with your family, or Hanukkah if that's something that you celebrate! I've been meaning to write another post for a few days now, but I've been really busy with work and everything now that I'm home again for the holidays. A lot has been going on both with work and with getting everything ready for Disney! Since I've been home, I've done lots of shopping and have received several new emails from Disney, which is always exciting! I don't know if you watched my most recent vlog about what I'm most excited for, but let me just say that at this point with only one more month left until I leave, I'm so so excited about so many things! Guys, is it really only one more month away??! This has been a dream of mine for so long now and I can't believe I'm actually going to be helping make magic for guests in the MOST MAGICAL PLACE ON EARTH! I've been talking with my roommates for about a month and a half now and we've been getting along great! I'm so excited for check-in when I'll finally get the chance to meet them! I know I keep saying in my vlogs that I'll talk about how we met and who my roommates will be and I promise I will! HEHE! It was kind of a crazy process and I want to devote an entire video to that. I'm also very excited to find out where I will be working and where I will be living. There's just so much excitement, it's crazy!
Anyways, like the Disney Look email that I mentioned receiving in one of my videos, I also received an email about Education soon after that on December 17th. On December 23rd, I received an email about my New Hire Paperwork and New Hire Portal Instructions which I was very excited about filling out. There was quite a lot of information to read over and look through so I saved .pdf files of all the documents. At the beginning, there was a welcome video which made me start to tear up a little bit. This whole experience has just been INCREDIBLE and I haven't even started my program yet. AHHH!
My mom and I have been trying to go shopping to look for clothes for both Traditions, class, training and for my apartment. Back over Thanksgiving break, we went to the Gulfport Outlets in Mississippi
and I found a really cute skirt that fits the Disney look perfectly and I'm so in love with it! I can't wait to wear it for Traditions! Also, I just found some cute flats to wear for Traditions yesterday. Finding shoes is so hard for me because I'm really short and my shoe size is like a 5 and even smaller in children's shoes and usually all the cute shoes start in 6's. I don't wear flats that much so I thought they would be difficult to find in the first place, especially finding some that I liked, but I found some at Target that were actually children's flats, but they're plain and don't really look childish, so I'm happy I found some to wear. I'm thinking about wearing a purple sweater that I had gotten at Forever 21 a little while back and hopefully finding tights to finish my outfit for Traditions. I had bought another skirt also to maybe wear to class and a pair of skinny black dress pants from Kohls. I'm just trying to pick up some professional pieces that I can wear when I need to.
Let's see, what else! Oh, well exactly one month from today I will be in Disney! I haven't vlogged about my travel plans yet, but trust me, I will film that too! But very briefly, yes, I will be in Disney on January 31st! We're arriving just a couple of days before my check-in date so that I can spend the weekend before with my family. I can't believe how soon it's coming!
For Christmas, my parents got me a Thomas Kinkade 2015 Disney calendar that I'm so excited to use in my apartment! He has some of the prettiest Disney pictures ever! I really want one of his puzzles to do! That would be so much fun! Also, they gave me Two Girls and A Mousetale by Elly and Caroline Collins which is a book that two sisters wrote about their experience while working for a full year during the Disney College Program. I'm already on chapter fifteen and they were both Merchandise cast members so I really love reading their stories since that's what my role is! It's a really great book, and I definitely recommend that one and Amber Earns her Ears just for a good read about the program.
Also, my last little update that I have which is not exactly Disney related, but since I'll be down in Florida for six months, I was planning on visiting Universal Studios quite a few times and paying for an annual pass. I've heard nothing but great things about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but as popular as they are, I've never been interested enough to watch the movies or read the books. I've seen so many people vlog about going to Universal Studios during their program and everyone loves the Harry Potter section there, so I was curious what it was all about. Last Friday night, I decided to watch the first movie just to see if I'd get into it, and I DID!! I can't believe I've never watched any of the movies before. The magic and wizardry is a little different than what I'm used to watching, but besides that, the story is so good and I love all the characters and storylines! So far, my favorite one is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and the Goblet of Fire! I guess I'm turning into a Harry Potter fan now!!
I just thought I would share some pictures from Christmas and earlier today. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!
