I've been reading lots of blogs recently, and they're all really honest about their programme and their experiences of it. The majority of people absolutely loved it and it gets you so excited to go, even if it still is 5 months away! Whereas, some blogs explain why they didn't like their summer working for the mouse, and as daunting as they are to read, they're really good in terms of preparing you what to expect when you're out there, including the ups and the supposed downs!
Speaking to a few people who are going to be on the programme with me this summer has made me realise that I really should do some research! The first and only time I've been to Walt Disney world was way back in 2000 when I was 7 and I keep being asked which park I want to work in and on what ride, but I really have no idea so I might just want to get looking!
Anyway, since I haven't updated this blog since November, I thought it was about time I should report on what's happened since then.
It had been discussed on the Disney Facebook page that we, like everyone on programmes before us, should get hoodies so we can all recognise each other at the airport and have our first souvenir! After a lot of ideas being passed around, the hoodies were created and bought and I absolutely love mine. I'll have to post a picture at a later date because I swear my mum's hidden it so I can't wear it before I go, I definitely would not misplace it so its the only other reason that I can think of as to why I can't find it!
So that was really exciting, I was like a big kid when it came through the post! But more exciting news, I've booked my flights! Which is also kinda scary seen as I HATE flying. For this reason I really wanted to fly with virign, to have direct flights, but the money they were asking for was just crazy! Nearly £800 just for the flights! So, after a bit of searching, and much help from my sister's boyfriend, I'm flying with US Airways on 10th June at 11AM with a change in Philadelphia, to get me to Orlando for 18.28, slightly daunting, but knowing I've saved a bucket load certainly helps! Plus I was also worried that I'd be flying on my own, but there are 2 other girls on this flight who seem really nice so I'm quite excited!
That's really all to report right now, exciting as it is! We're waiting to hear from yummy jobs again and get our welcome packs from Disney in February, with our acceptance letter, Disney look guidelines and the form so we can book our visa appointment! Its all going to come by so fast!
Only 158 days to go!
Oh, and happy new year!
