So I got to Orlando around dinner time today. We went to 1900 Park Fare @ the Grand Floridian. It was amazing and was really the first time I had ever been inside it and outside. The down side to me is that the pools weren't anything to special. But, the inside of course was gorgeous. Anyways we got back and went swimming at our hotel, we're staying at the Holiday Inn and Sunspree we also found Vista Way by mistake, but at least we know where were going Wednesday. Tomorrow. I think we're going to go hang out in EPCOT and go to dinner in Germany. Well, anyone checking in on the 19th see you at check in, everyone else see you when you get here.
P.S. Check out my facebook for photos of my trip.

My Answer from Disney
This has absolutely nothing to do with my acceptance to Disney or anything like that! My I had written Disney on Monday I believe for two different things. One was to request a work location. Like I've said I requested more than 1 location. They wrote back saying that they have recorded my request in my file and that as I already knew nothing is guaranteed. The Second thing was that I received two different pay rate; one in my email and one in my letter. They only differed my 10 cents but 10 cents is 10 cents. And, yes I will be getting the high one.

Things You Can do or Buy Now For Florida
So I'm aware that anyone doing Fall Advantage the earliest Arrival date is still 83 days, which is 12 weeks away! So here is things you can do each week to get ready! Week 12: Go through your shoe collection! If you're like me you have a lot of shoes, but no NOT all can come to Florida! So I suggest going through your collection to see which ones are good/bad and if there's any you need to get. Remember some days it's going to rain so you'll prolly want more than one pair of sneakers…so you don't have to wear wet ones! Make sure you have casual dress shoes for the days you have to wear business casual Attire! Week 11: Go to your local Christmas tree shop! They always have a lot of stuff there that you could potentially use for your apartment such as: Dish Towels, Pot Holders, Storage Containers, and Spices…Besides Spices a lot of these won't matter if you have MORE than one in each apartment! Occasionally, they also have things like shower curtains, picture frames, and other stuff you may want or need for your apartment. Week 10: Sunscreen. Go buy yourself one or two things of sunscreen…unless you're flying because it might not be allowed on the flight, if you are make sure you put it on the list of things to get when you arrive. Week 9: Buy Socks, Dress Socks, and all those under clothes stuff! These you can easily but in the packages and keep to the side for when you go! If you have a k-mart buy you normally the first week of every month they have buy one get on half off on all this stuff! Lol. Week 8: Clean any Sheets, blankets, towels that are coming to Florida but, you don't need around your house! I wrote this before but here's what I suggest get 1 Beach Towel, 2 Regular Towels, 1 hand towel and wash cloth, 2 sets of sheets, one Blanket and Comforter, potentially you might want a third cover just in case! Week 7: Invest in your business Casual Wardrobe, If you don't have anything go and get it, if you have everything than your all set, But I also suggest packing it now, so one it's not forgotten and two it doesn't get ruined. To bring I suggest having 2-3 bottoms and 4-5 tops. You can interchange them and get about 15 different outfits out of them without repeating, if you're not taking classes 1-2 and 2-3 is what I suggest for the just in case factor. Week 6: Accessories! Well if you don't bring any jewelry, watches, hats, scarves, etc. You will not have them. So I suggest looking through you stuff and see what your need or want. Make sure to check the Disney Look Guide and Your Role Rules to see what jewelry is aloud while working! I know as QSFB I'm pretty much only aloud earrings (I suggest just getting some cute studs cause it's the easiest to stay in the code!) There are exceptions to the rules such as medical ids (might have to be worn on your ankle) and commitment rings but make sure you check your own letters! Week 5: Toiletries! If you're driving feel free to pick up shampoo, condition, hair spray, hair products, soap, or anything like that you need. You could wait to but this when you get down there but after a long day of moving in you might not want to go to the store but could use a hot shower! Week 4: Start cleaning and packing clothes that you will be bringing to Florida but don't need for the next little bit! What you need and how much depends on your particular style I would suggest seeing what you wear in one week and then packing according to what you use. Week 3: Buy anything you thing you might need but don't already have! You're night going to be wanting to go out shopping when you're getting down to the last week or two so get it over with now. Week 2: Finish PACKING. If you're done at the end of this week all you have to do is pack the car or load the car for the airport. Week 1: Find any documents you need, print your on boarding documents, say good bye to family and friends potentially you could have a dinner (you might get some cool stuff to bring with you!) Make sure you have the address of family and friends to send post card, pictures, and birthday cards. Or to just call when you miss home or them! Buy Double AA batteries! So that is what you should do or get over the next 12 weeks. You can slowly back your stuff or pack it as you buy it. These are just suggestions and make life easier if you don't wait to the last second!

Day 20
So today is Day 20... and I'm actully writing it on Day 20 like during the day...lol. So I can not believe tomorrow I will be waiting 3 weeks!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! ok. So that means I'm about 1 week away from the minimum maximum lol...does that make sence the minimum maximum wait is 4 weeks and the maximum maximum is 6 so I'm half way to the 6 week mark tomorrow. I'm really hoping to hear something this week sometime because it would be so nice....lol. So far today I got up at 9:30 yes 9:30 I'm really pusing myself to wake up a normal times....I made breakfast then watched Starstruck and was really upset because it cut off the end of the show SO I DONT KNOW THE END!!!!!!! So I'm recording it again tonight. It's on 6:30 to 8pm EST, but if you record it do like 6:30 to 8:05...just to be safe. lol. Ok so I think I'm gonna take a shower then maybe chill in the chat room...I'm gonna get over to the gym eventually and make some lunch at some point. Then tonights my T.V night I'll be watching The Secret Life of America Teenage, Cake Boss, Recording Make it Or Break It...and the end of Star Struck.
Now back to Starstruck I though the movie was really good but it's deffinately more of a chick flick. I got really into the music, so I downloaded the soundtrack...lol. Yes I love disney movie soundtracks. Yea It's deffinately a bit of a love story with a few giggles...I would compare it to High School Musical the first one...some music, some performances, the guy whom want the everyday girl...and makes her cry....somewhat similar. But I really liked it. So go ahead and see it if you haven't

2 Weeks AGAIN!
So I know I posted what felt like yesterday but was really THIS morning. SO IF YOU'RE ALL NOT AWARE I REALLY LIKE TO USE THE CAP LOCK BUTTON. Now the reason for this is not for sarcasm but the fact that it much easy to go cap lock letter cap lock type 4 more letters caplock 1 more letter for my passwords to things....and typically forget to hit it and end up writting in all caps....but the THIS morning one was for emphasis.
So I wanted to write a quick blog about to day in which I acoplished absolutely NOTHING! and yes that was also for emphasis. After I finish this I'm going to get some ice cream for my family, then I have to do three resume, clean my room. I'm going to finsih cleaning my room tonight. And, hopefully go to bed at a normal time...or maybe not. I decided that with not having a job and going to school line, I've not been very productive with some things. So, I decided I wanted to come up with a new routine...which I have not done yet so maybe i'll do that tonight.
Finally, I heard ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FROM DISNEY TODAY. Some people go their second or third "thank you emails" today...I didn't hear about anyone getting their first. Some people go the DREADED pending letter saying they would hear by APRIL 30th. And, I got absolutely nothing! nothing, nothing, nothing....on the bright side I am anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 through my wait officially 4 mins ago. Cause my interview was January 26th, 2010 @ 8:15. lol.
Ok talk to you maybe again later...maybe I'll do a picture post..or not.
