DISNEY!!!

As most of my friends know, I am (and have always been) a lover of everything associated with Walt Disney World. I applied for their college program my second semester of college and didn't get in. This devastated me, and I took a semester off college to try my hand at the telemarketing industry. That did not work out well. I returned to college and forgot about the program until last semester when the Disney recruiters were on campus for the Spring Advantage program through the Disney College Program. I attended the information session, but I could not attend the program because this spring is my last semester of my undergraduate college career. Not wanted to give up on my dream to work at Disney, I applied three weeks ago to the program for the summer and fall. I passed the web-based interview and set up a telephone interview on March 2, 2011. They told me that I would be notified within four weeks of whether or not I had been accepted; however, just one long week and I received an email saying that I had been accept! I even got my first job choice. I am interviewing on March 30th to see if I can be a character performer because what little girl hasn't dreamed of being a princess!

Getting into this program brings great relief to my fiancé and I because I did not have any jobs lined up for after graduation. I had been attending info session after info session and interview after interview on campus, and they were all to no avail. We were both worried that finding a job would be much harder than we thought. We both wanted me to get into the program, but I don't think either of us were getting our hopes up about it because we were trying to remain realistic while knowing that this was the best option for the both of us. We were delighted when we found out the news.

Despite all the excitement and getting exactly what I wanted by getting into the program, acceptance to the program has caused several difficulties. I am given housing on site at Disney where the rent is deducted directly from my paycheck, but now I have to find someone to take over the remainder of my lease at my apartment or I will lose almost nine hundred dollars by paying for an apartment in which I am not living. My fiancé now has to look for a job in Orlando as well as somewhere for him to live for a few months until we are married in August.

The wedding also brings up problems because the program only allows for a participate to have five consecutive days off. Which means that I will have to make sure that all the lats minute plans are taken care of by my wedding party and family (how scary!). This also means no honeymoon for the time being; however, my fiancé has agreed that we can take a honeymoon after the program ends in January or in February for Valentine's Day and my Birthday!

All being said, we're excited for me to get into the program. I just found out a few minutes ago that my fiancé has an interview at Walt Disney World for a job offer that he can start after he finished this school semester. Yay! Everything right now is going great for us. I just hope it continues!
