Disney hoodies, Disney emails,Disney night out!! DISNEY!

So its been pretty silent on the whole disney front for a few weeks since my first post but everything picking up again which is making me really excited iv even broke out my "Now That's What I Call Disney" CD XD! 

I have three Disney CDs and they will be well and truly worn out by time i get on the plane! 
Since i booked my flights iv found so many people on the same one or the Atlanta leg so iv got me some flight buddies even sitting next to a couple of them which will be nice. 

A couple of girls on a group i was added to on Facebook have been organising getting hoodies made with disney cast member printed on them and there was like a million colours to pick but i finally decided on a laaavely dark navy. Your probably thinking big thick dark coloured hoody in the sweltering florida sun right? well i can start wearing it now just to show off and then it'll be cosy for on the plane. see i have brilliant logic! 

Also I FINALLY got my Disney welcome Email i'd started to think they'd forgotten  me but now i have loads to read that makes me want it to be June even more i think its down to double figures now like 96/97 days... literally counting down the days! It also makes me think of how much i have to do hopefully my pack will come soon so i can book my visa appointment which means a day out in London!! 


Tomorrow is the BIG Disney Night Out for those who are around Liverpool chance to meet people and drink really something i wont be able to do once out there so any excuse to drink. I'm quite excited for tomorrow i'm meeting my flight buddy Hayley at the train station and then going to have a few pre drinks and get ready at a hotel lots cheaper than a taxi back to Manchester! We've also got a day meet up planned too a bit later in March where more people can come out, and i'm rubbish with names so i'm going to have to come up with a system. ... hmm. But i like meeting people and you never know if we cant do room mate matching i might be sharing with some folk i meet this month :) 


I'm also quite excited for travelling after the programme iv booked a tattoo in New York for a couple of days before i fly home which is exciting!! i also have loads of places i want to go but not enough time so i'm going to decide when i'm there if i was 21 and could hire i car id road trip for 3 weeks.... if only! 

ROAD TRIP!!! 

Anyway iv rambled on enough il post some pics from the night out soon!! 


Monday, 30 January 2012

so here's my first blog

So it's been just over a month since I found out I got a place on the Disney international programme for summer 2012 and I am sooooo excited the next 4 months cannot go quick enough. 


So since i found out i'd got the job working in food and beverage (i don't know on what park yet) i have literally told everyone who will listen and i'm sure everyones already getting sick of me but that isn't going to stop me. 


At the start of January i booked my flights my departure date 5th June at 10:20 from Manchester i'm doing a change over in Atlanta and then onto Orlando so i'll finally touch down in the sunshine state at 5:30 (hopefully no delays). 


However the first thing i find myself worrying about is the changeover i've never done one before and i only have 1hr 25mins to get from my plane through customs and on to the next one picking up and dropping of my luggage between that. Theres a few of us so hopefully we will figure it out. 


Its gone pretty quiet on the what we need to do next front after putting in my CRB forms and booking flights iv also paid for my medical insurance. Slowly ticking things off my long to do list. 


In February the Disney pack will come with all information and visa instructions thats when i reckon il get really excited. 


Lastly i'll mention all the people iv got in touch with already through Facebook groups. its nice seeing everyone getting excited and meeting people who are going to be on your flights i would highly recommend joining groups to start meeting people because then having a friendly face to meet when you get to the airport or Orlando its self is an added bonus and takes away the apprehension you are all in it together after all :)
