Well, hi-hey-hello there friends! IT'S ONLY FIVE DAYS TILL I MOVE INTO DISNEY HOUSING!   Oh my gosh what, since when did that creep up on us like wowweee!  As I'm sure you're all aware from the title of this blog post, today I'm going to be talking a bit about my role location on the program and where I'll be working! Yesterday I got a very exciting email confirming my location and housing for the program... And I'm sure if you follow me on social media, you'll know by now, but... Say hello to my new homes... THE MAGIC KINGDOM! and... PATTERSON COURT! As I'm sure you're all aware, my role for this program is within Attractions, so you'll see me hanging out on rides and ensuring your safety! However, I can confirm that within the Magic Kingdom, I'll be working in Adventureland and Liberty Square!  I'm so happy with my location, I couldn't think of a better place to share the magic! ...

Well, hi-hey-hello there friends!  Today I thought that I'd reflect on my own personal journey, with specific reflection on my acceptance story. I would like to think mine is a special one, I hope you all think the same. Before I came to university, I gave myself two goals; to work for Lush and Disney. Lush I managed to do within the first month of living in London ✅Disney, on the other hand, took a little bit of time.  I applied for multiple positions at various Disney Stores, coming close once in February 2016, however, tripping at the final hurdle. When the time came, I applied for the Cultural Exchange Program that would take place in summer 2017. Fair to say, as you all know, that did not go to plan sadly.  During my time at university, I worked as a cleaner, as a sales assistant, as a theme park host, and again as a ride host at a theme park. All this together prepared me for my second attempt, and last chance, to be a Walt Disney World Cast Member ...

Well, hi-hey-hello there friends! So it's been a while since my last post, and I thought seeing as a lot of big things will be happening soon, I probably should update you all!  Only a few days ago, I said goodbye to Chessington for the second time in my life, after working there for two months. Although time there was short, I learnt so much and made so many friends, I can only hope to return back one day soon. I had my final shift on the Thursday just gone, and went out on my final ride! Although I'm sad to leave, I've traded in one theme park for another and it's only SEVEN DAYS until I become a Walt Disney World Cast Member!  Seeing as it's exactly one week until I move into Disney Housing, I've decided I'll be doing a week worth of blog posts all about different things to do with my program! So this is the first of an epic countdown!  The next few days for me are going to be a little bit hectic, especially seeing as it's...
