So today in the mail I got a college letter, and a huge white envelope from DISNEY!






ok so my webcam color is really funny but the pics were still okay! I didn't think until after and I'
m too lazy to walk up stairs and get my purple folder...that I should have done a picture with my 3d glasses and my purple folder.

The 3d glasses came in my golder cause there's come Disney Triva game you can play after you get in that's in 3d. But don't leave the glasses on too long, they hurt your eyes...

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

Day 16!

So what did I do to waste day 16....welll........................

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.

Monday, February 8, 2010

Dear People if you name is not DISNEY do not email me.

The title says it all.... But here's a picture for everyone.

This was taken somewhere in Disney I think in Epcot. But don't quote but I think it's adorable.

A Pictures Worth A Million Words!

I easily could have posted another blog of just boring information that no ones really cares about. But this is something that I think is more fun, and I will definitely try to do often if I do the College Program (Thinking Very Purple TODAY!). Pretty much it's kind of like a photo blog if you will. These are some old photos from some of my first trips to Disney. Over the next few days or week or two, I’ll be posting them with some descriptions. To get inspired I started with some of my favorites!

I know this next one is not a great photo but I still really like it, It’s my brother and I in front of the nutcrackers….Now I know it was taken in Epcot and I know it some place in the world showcase…so it’s either Germany or Italy, and I’m leaning 60% Italy and 40% Germany!


This is another photo of my brother and I the smaller asturnut is me, and the larger is my brother. This was taken in MGM Studios now known as Hollywood Studios.


This next one I have quite the obsession with because there’s really nothing in the picture except eyeballs and tops of head! Can you guess where it was taken? If you said Splash Mountain the you’re right. The person taking my picture was my grandpa in the third row, My mom and dad in the next. And yes there’s my brother and I up front.


This one is one of my favorites. I believe this picture was take during February break. Which is something called Mid-Winter break it’s obviously after our Chirstmas break, and before April Break. A lot of people don’t have it and that’s why the parks weren’t to crowded! BEST TIME TO GO! In my opnion. So this is my mom, myself, and my brother in front of the castle.


ENJOY!

11days...and it's 11:11

So today was my 11th day waiting....Talk about patience. lol.
So I did get a thank you email...last Friday the 29th. I did the survey and I have to say going through the interview process this time was much more pleasant. AND I like my interviewer. So It's almost Sunday but, I just wanted to make a post at 11:11 on the 11th day cause it seemed extra lucky. I hope...

So, besides apps nothing much has been going on in my life besides a whole lot of nothing. I know you're probably REALLY enjoying reading a blog I'm writing about nothing. I did though hang out with my one friend whom almost like a little sister last night. That was quite fun, her sister co-worker did the program so, my friend's older sister keeps telling me"If you get in you have to go, it'll be the best experience of your life." Supposedly her co-worker keeps telling her to remind me.

I;m excited the closer it gets to TUESDAY cause, that will be my two week mark which could either be 1/2 my wait or 1/3 of my wait... and that's very exciting. I really just want to know if I got in not necessarily if I get my top choice or my second choice or even my fifth. I just want to go! I know many of you feel the same way...I kind of feel like tomorrow I should wear my pajama's inside out and backwards.. maybe it'll work like when you do it for a snow day from school.

So anyways, have a good, safe, and magical rest of the weekend. And, be excited for the next week to come because that means chances at emails and the mail man. (My friend and I decided that they needed a system where you can text your mail man he'll text you a list everything that came in the mail! lol.)

P.S. THINK PURPLE!!!

The Interview...

So just a few minutes ago I got of the phone with danielle my recruiter. She seemed very nice, I was really excited about the fact that I didn't have to answe the classic. Why do I want to work for disney? lol. But I totally made notes about why I wanted to work for disney.

So these are some of the questions I got asked. She also took the time to tell me that it normal to hear silence or typing in the background which I didn't know last time so it made me so much more relaxed and by the end it made me feel like I was having a conversation and not an interview.

-What my choice roles were.
-what was my favorite role.
-If I minded working outside,
-Why did a want to do the C.P.
-What I thought the role of a concierage was. (And I was honest and I really didn't know)
-Why I was intrested in Vacation planner.
-If i had experience with computers and cash handling.
-My past job good and bad things.
-If I've ever had a roommate how'd i handle it.
-disney look

And, just for the record the question I decided to ask was what are the possibilties of extending and she told be about possibly become full time, or part time, seasonl, and that there are interships available. In the past I've heard you can stay on a CP up to one year. But, she seemed to think that wasn't true unless you weren't advantage, Also said there's the option of summer alumni and stuff. And, everything depends on recruiting at the time. She also was like you never know maybe youll end up transfer schools down here. lol. Cause I was saying about how I had or or two semester left depend on how I did my class schedule like after this semester.

So anyways she said I'd be hearing back from us real soon after I asked the question but before that she said 4-6 weeks. And now the waiting begins. Oh and she had to confirm my email like 10 times. lol.

This is Never to be Shared with My Dad

So, I was playing the 20 Question Disney Style. And used Mickey Waffle and it came up as an answer. Which to me is really funny. So, I'd figure I'd share this story with you.

Now we have this huge inside family joke about Mickey Waffles, with I believe strawberries and ice cream. They were supposedly sold in Disney MGM Studio which is now DHS. I believe the year they disappeared was the year they changed the name.

Supposedly there was this place in between where the fountains/water around where the green dinosaur was that sold these mysterious dessert waffles if you will.My first trip to Disney was in July/August 1997 and my last was Chrsitmas 2004 over these years my dad ate these "waffles" everytime we went on Star Tours up until our last trip that is. We spent 24 of 25 trips hearing they exist, for at least half my mom didn't believe they existed either until one day she didn't want to go on star tours....let me say that from that day on she rode less often. Once my dad even kept the reciept to "prove there are mickey waffles."

Let's just back up a bit. I am 100% aware that if you get breakfast in disney you can get Mickey Waffle. In fact I've had a breakfast mickey waffle. But supposidly these are bigger and you get toppings on it and all this stuff.

So, on our last trip to disney my dad like fine I'll take you guys to get a mickey waffle so your stop saying I'm lying. Conveniently they had disappeared. So, to this day as far as I'm concerned the Mickey Waffle Stand does not exist.

Now I've been doing some research...and so far I've only found these reference to the Mickey Waffle...

"One snack you must have above all is a Mickey shaped Belgium waffle which can be found at any buffet or breakfast place. " Joe T.

But that says buffet or breakfast so obviously it's not my daddy's waffle.

"The Sleepy Hollow stand, tucked in a corner in Liberty Square, has funnel cakes and Mickey waffles, two guilty pleasures."

That's in Magic Kingdom. And, this was specifically MGM.

"I’ve always got to get a waffle from norway at EPCOT. warm waffles with strawberry jam. instant sugar coma, but so worth it."

That's in Epcot.

So, as of right now I'm STILL convinced there are no mickey waffles in MGM.

P.S. Good luck to everyone on there interview and application for the Fall 2010 Disney College Program I hope we all get in and have a great time.

10 things.....aka 10 picture

So I'm like totally bored and have nothing better to do. SO I took the idea of 10 things from the vlogs and made 10 pictures...ya. But I used my cell phone to take them so my cells not include but it's a verizon allias 2nd addition. that's the one that flips both ways.. But I didn't count it in my 10 cause it would have been hard to do. lol.

Picture Number 1
Photobucket

This is a picture of my wall. There the little stick on things for your wall and I absolutely love them. These are what made the theme for my room I have all different color butterflies and flowers.

Picture Number 2
Photobucket

These are my to very good friends Mikey the doll Full name Micheal Jazzy...I was really into Jasmine from aladin when I was little but my doll was distinctively decided to be a boy. Better yet you had to figure out if his name of the day was Jazzy or Mikey or Michael.

P.S. the monkey is my dance monkey he holds two of my ribbon and a metal and his names Petey.

Picture Number 3
Photobucket

This is my door shoe holder that does not hold shoes. It holds stuff and I will hopefully have something like this in Disney if my roommate doesn't object. Oh and my leis. I'll probably bring one of them too. It was from one of my old room themes but they still fit in this room.

Picture Number 4
Photobucket

Milk Crates!!!!In bright colors. I use them for my hoodies cause I technically don't have a closet in my room. My closets the coat closet so it's not really convenient.

Picture Number 5
Photobucket

My television. I absolutely love my television. I bought it all by myself.

Picture Number 6
Photobucket

This is my butterfly binder. I use it to hold scrapbook stuff. I want to make one like this for disney. Disney style though.

Picture Number 7
Photobucket

My coin sorter. Each of them have a name on them. I got it for Christmas I really wanted a change counter but my mom found this and it's 10 times better.

Picture Number 8

Photobucket

IPOD ALARM CLOCK!!!! It eats the i pod and is absolutely amazing. Plays great quality of music. Oh and it has two alarm setting so theoretically if I bring this to disney we wouldn't need to alarm clock. And the beeping is so annoying...you can wake up to music to if you want to...and you can beep one and music the other.

Picture Number 9

Photobucket

My DVD. I like DVD cause I'm as bad as a two year old and can watch the same movie 50 times and it doesn't bother me....actually it tends to put me to sleep.

Picture Number 10

Photobucket

My pillows. I have 1 body pillow, 4 regulrs, 2 queen, and 1 kings pillow, and one reading pillow. I can guarantee I will have several pillows. My other sleep requirements is that my beds next to a wall.

Well that's 10 things in my room. Hope you enjoyed.

INTERVIEW SCHEDULED!!!



So my interview is scheduled for 8:30PM on Tuesday night. And, i am really excited that I got a night time time because that is so much better for me then mornings which is what I had last time.
