I am officially finished! I will be on break from now until January 16th, which is my check-in date for the CP! Yay, yay, yay!

That is so exciting!

I arrive in WDW for my family vacation exactly a month after you check-in, too!

Oh wow! Have you started packing at all? And are you driving or flying down?

I have piles of stuff in our spare bedroom, but no actual packing yet. I'm driving down because my mom and I are going for a trip before my internship starts.

Yep, so they better get on to give us an update. Gotta have someone to live vicariously through.

I am here and settled!

I am slowly getting a hang of the Disney life and riding the buses. I checked in on the 16th (met my rooommate at Vista at 6:45 am), spent two ish hours at Casting, moved in, had a housing/welcome meeting, finished moving in, then went back to the resort with my mom for one more night. The next day (17th), we had a day off so I went to DTD and wal-mart, and finished getting organized. After that we went to dinner at Mara at AKL and tried to go to bed early. Traditions was the 18th and lasted from 8-12:30, then my roommate and I ran an errand and went to MK for the night, and rode Space Mountain, Pirates, saw Tiki Birds, saw MSEP, rode the last Haunted Mansion ride of the night, saw Wishes from the monorail and headed back home. We had the next day off and went to Wilderness Lodge and DHS and saw the Indiana show, Star Tours, and walked through shops. Yesterday was my core training and today was Discovery Day at Epcot. Tomorrow I go to work 7-3:30.

Man, it really sounds like you're living the dream! I hope everything has been fun so far, though it sounds like it to me!

YAY! That sounds fantastically wonderful! Definitely keep us updated!

In other news (and I'm sure y'all are aware of this) but Fall/FA 2012 apps are out! I'm seriously considering applying as a backup if I don't get accepted as a camp counselor again.

Good luck...you should def apply.

It is an incredible experience. I finished my three days of training on Monday and was off today/yesterday. Today I went to AK for awhile and tomorrow I work Epcot evening EMH 4 to 12:30 am...yay!

Hey!

My name is Christina and I'm a freshman at UCONN. I'm hoping to do the CP for Spring or Fall of 2013. I am so so excited. I wish I could apply sooner but my life is too hectic. I'd love to work just about any position, except for maybe QSFB. I plan to utilize my CP as a stepping stone to a PI and hopefully a career with Disney. However; my only work experience is filing in an office and such. I hope this won't hurt my chances. Well, it's great to meet you all! Have a magical day!
