It's been a LONG time since I've updated! Simply because there was nothing really interesting to report, but a new post must mean...
IT FINALLY CAME!
After months of waiting my Disney pack arrived, a whole month later than we were all expecting may I add! It was SO exciting, and I was on placement when it fell on my doormat so of course the rest of the day went sooooo slow. But, as I opened it, excited with the prospect of the "few surprises" YJ were giving us, to finally see my offer letter, to begin my visa application...
It really wasn't all that exciting.
I mean yes, the offer letter was amazing, watermarked by Disney so you know it's the real deal, but the pack as a whole is like everyone says, kinda an anti-climax. I think everyone builds up a high expectation that something is going to jump out of the pack, a little Mickey maybe, and congratulate you on your success of getting onto the programme, and sing and dance your praises.
Like a dancing version of this guy!
But of course that didn't happen, and that's why you're kinda left feeling, a little disappointed. Who wouldn't want that... Right?!
But still, it came, which means it is so close until we leave, a little over 2 months is all that there is to wait, 2 MONTHS! And now placement is over, I can really start to feel excited about it, as I haven't had any time at all to even think of what I was having for tea that day, never mind the fact that my Disney journey is closing in, so eeeeep! (Little burst of excitement right there). I mean, when I found out in November it was 8 long months away and now to think it's only 2 months away its beginning to make me panic a little. It's the time to get off my ass and actually organise everything! I've got so used to thinking it was agessss away I've been really relaxed about the whole thing but there's only 70 days to go, and there's a lot left to do, like one of the most important things, holiday shopping!
70 days until this becomes my reality!
So with the arrival of my Disney pack, it meant one thing, to apply for my Visa, which took me a little over 2 hours. The thought of doing it was really daunting, and when you see the US embassy logo thingy it's quite intimidating, but it's actually not all that complicated. The stressful thing is the to get everything completely correct, because you are really warned...
FILL THIS IN CORRECTLY OR YOUR VISA MAY BE REJCETED
MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO CUTS TO YOUR FINGER TIPS OR YOUR VISA MAY BE REJECTED
MAKE SURE YOU BRING THE CORRECT DOCUMENTS OR YOUR VISA MAY BE REJECTED
Now yes, that does all seem like common sense, but it still causes you to panic which is what made it take so long, and now I've confirmed my application I can't look back at it, which makes me a little paranoid in case of any mistakes, but que sera and all that! Nothing I can do now except go to the Embassy and await my fate. Something Walt said himself is quite prominent here...
But still, I hope I've done it right!
And I'll be going to the US Embassy in London in a week to hopefully have my visa approved. Quite a few people have been already and have described it like a big Argos, with a LOT of waiting apparently, and not being able to take any electrical items in there with you is going to make it a really fun wait if I'm there a long time, because the waiting time can fluctuate big time. With one guy only taking 90 minutes but another girl took 3 hours! To make things better I also have to go in alone. Woo fun!
But I'm really really excited to be going to London for that whole process, because it's one step closer to actually going! There won't be anything left to stop me from going, that's the final hurdle! And the fact that I'm scared of flying, but I'm trying not to think of that one!
So that's a quick catch up of what's happening right now, I'll update next week of how my appointment went, which I'm really scared about but hopefully I will be a happy chappy with an approved visa!
Wish me luck!
