What Up Everyone?!
It has been awhile since my last post so heres just a heads up on whats been going on.
Some things changed in terms of roommates but I have everything figured out and set to go now. I think the way things worked themselves out is for the best for everyone. My roommate and I have already done the matching system and are set to go for when we arrive. We also found 2 other guys who are awesome and going to be living with us. So there will be 4 of us total, and we are shooting for a 2 bedroom in Chatham. The four of us get along really well and have had some hilarious Skype and ooVoo sessions haha. It's gonna be a blast!
There is only like 56 days until I leave for Florida! It's really crazy how fast time flies sometimes, yet the wait is still pretty bad lol. I just wanna be there already! It was 70 in CT yesterday, and today it's 40 again...not cool. I am ready for warm weather and some Disney Magic!
I think that is pretty much it for updates...school is school and graduation can't get here fast enough. Oh I had my spring break which was laid back and relaxed but fun. I went home and saw some friends, went to 2 Celtics games, and worked for some extra cash. It was also my last day at work...possibly ever! That's exciting to me lol.
Alright that's it for now...I'll post a packing blog once it gets closer to that time but for now, there is not much to do besides wait.

Travel, Roommate, Think Purple!!!
Hey Guys!
Just giving everyone who follows (thanks to those that do lol) an update. As I have already stated, I officially accepted and will be checking in on May 18th! I am sssooo excited and cannot believe that it is only 93 days until I check in. I am driving down, so me and my father are going to leave on May 14th (89 days!) and spend two days driving down from the arctic that is New Hampshire. We will probably stop somewhere in North Carolina for a brief overnight and then continue right on through to the promised land. My mom is going to fly down and meet us there with my grandmother (who lives in Florida like an hour from Disney) on Sunday the 15th. My dad and I will arrive late on the 15th. We are staying at the Pop Century Resort which I have never been to. I have stayed at the All-Star sports one and the movie one though. Arriving on the 15th will give me and my family two days to just relax and take care of any last minute shopping, paperwork, etc. I do have to file for residency when I get down there because I will have my car and it will need to be registered again in August. I am NOT driving all the way back to New Hampshire just to register my car, not happening. So hence the filing for residency.
I already have a roommate picked out which I am very happy about. We want a two or three bedroom in Chatham, but would consider Patterson as a second option. Vista is not happening lol. Currently looking for possible apartment-mates. Nice chill guys who won't cause trouble and just like to have a good time. Neither of us party and will definitely not be hosting, but might go to a party here and there. I like all kinds of sports, mainly basketball though and love to play any kind of games. Love to watch movies and will absolutely be visiting the parks as much as possible lol!
I think that about does it for updates. Good luck to all of you still waiting and I see some people are beginning to get pended. Chins up, it is not that bad. You might end up getting really competitive roles and everything will be great! A lot of pended people get in, so stay positive!!!

Passing time....
This wait is pure torture! Tomorrow marks my TWO week mark of waiting for a response from Disney. I had my phone interview on Jan. 20th. The hardest part about the wait is that others began getting accepted into the program! So congrats to all that heard back already, not jealous at all....
From what I understand there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to the acceptance emails going out. Most of come between 3 and 530pm but that could just be coincidence. I think so far the majority have been females from what facebook has shown. (shout-out to the lone guy, Danny lol). I have been obsessively checking my email the past few days, basically since the first person found out. I have had dreams about the letter/email. This wait is unhealthy and needs to come to an end lol. Hopefully a lot more people start getting emails in the next few days!

One Week
Today marks one week passing since I did my phone interview. Hopefully that means anywhere between today and 2 to 3 more weeks, my folder will come, or my email will come. This wait is miserable. Since I go to school in Connecticut, we have had three snow days in the past week and a half. Its crazy how much snow we have, legit 4 feet right now easily. This however does a poor job of distracting me from the wait lol. I am constantly on my computer and stuck in my house so therefore all I am doing is checking my email and the groups and all that jazz. Yay my life ha.

Now we play the dreaded waiting game....
Greeting once again fellow bloggers!
Last night at exactly 10pm (quite impressive actually), I had my phone interview for the Walt Disney World College Program. I was obviously very nervous but excited and prepared at the same time. I had 7 (seven!) pages of notes laid out in front of me on my bed. However, I do this thing where I pace back and forth non-stop when I am nervous so the amount of times where I actually stopped to look at those papers was very minimal. I had most of what I wanted to say memorized anyways!
My recruiter's name was Brandon and he was extremely nice. He was friendly and easy to understand and talk to. He asked me a lot about my past work experience and what attributes went with the skills I possessed. For example, I was a cashier so I have experience handling money and stuff like that. I think my versatility helped a lot with this because I am trained in 5 different departments at my job! He then asked me my top 4 roles (attractions, merch, character attendant, and bell service) and why I wanted each one. Following that was a specific question about each of those but none of those "stinger" questions like the kid being too short or someone kicking good ol' Mickey. So that was a relief. He asked me about being a team player or working solo, about the rate of pay, about the Disney look, and about the living situations. The hardest question he asked me was what I would do make a guest's day right off the bat if I was in Main Entrance Opps for example. That one was rather difficult but I think I gave a good answer. The first question he asked though was obviously why I wanted to work for Disney. Overall I think it went really well. I was confident leaving the interview and got just about everything said that I wanted to. Now I just have to wait the three to four weeks for that purple folder! I kinda want this pretty bad....(sarcasm, I'm buggin out!)
Good luck to everyone and just be calm and confident!
