Magical blogs

I'm only two weeks closer to my Disney date and already the wait is killing me! A lot of people say that the wait from interviews to finding out is the worst. I agree somewhat, it was painful but since being put on the opportunity list I came to think I wasn't going to get accepted. I thought this way so that if I didn't get accepted I wouldn't be to shocked as I already had guessed it ( I'm such a downer I know). In the last two weeks I have read so many different things and make so many lists, such as to do, what I need to get once in Orlando and things like that. Another thing I have done is I have read the best disney crp blog I have found yet! The blog is written from application right through to her arrival bak home 12 months later. It's fantastic! Although there are a few big differences between her and I (she's 24 I'm 18 she worked uk f&b and I'm working Canada attractions) it was still interesting to read about her daily life in Orlando. That is what I am planing on making my blog like. I have found so many blogs where the person stops writing as early as acceptance! I am planing on blogging throughout letting my family, friends and other readers know what life is like working for the mouse! Another blog I have found follows this boy Adam on his journey. I found out reading his blog he also read Catharines blog and has the same goal for his blog as well. Again he is from the UK on f&b but he is only 19 so the stories will not be about going to bars till two in the morning. As that would be against the law as the drinking age is 21. I found them both on YouTube and loved all of their videos. Catherine's videos are more informational as she has already completed two ICP's before applying to the CRP (p.s the packing vlog where she said one suit case is not realistic. Even she didn't follow it!). Adams blog are more creative and are more fun to watch he is filming these from a first times perspective and I love that about them. I thought that it would be cool for me to make videos too, but when I tried to film one last night it didn't turn out well... So I am going to leave that to the experts. Although I will be posting videos during my program and posting a packing blog hopefully because there are not many of them for the CRP, mainly for the cp! If you would like to request any videos throughout my program and before just comment on any post and I will do my best!

Well this has gone on longer then I had planed on it being so I will end this here I am posting the links to their blogs below this and it's easy to find the you tube videos too!

And the verdict is!

I GOT IN!!! Kristen sent out an e-mail yesterday just letting everyone know that they are on the opportunity list and we will find out sometime before september, maybe. We thought that this was a way of her saying that we will have to have to wait a lot longer to hear anything. Not a good sign for us. Then today at about 5pm I got an email from her, I didn't think anything of it. Yesterday when I saw the email me heart stopped and then when I read the e-mail I was disappointed. So today i thought it was another update until I saw the word CONGRATULATIONS! I saw when I was going and what I am going to be doing and then I screamed and ran downstairs to tell my mom. I then ran outside to tell my dad. I read the email entirely even though I know what it looked like from seeing other peoples e-mail on blogs and such. So it has been confirmed that I am going to be working in attractions in the Canadian pavilion starting October 29th!  I am so excited!!! I am a little nervous about having to do the spiel, but I am hoping that after working 3 months at camp I will be comfortable enough to make the spiel. Kristen said that she will send more information with in the next three weeks and I am getting excited to start this process!!!



Have a magical day!
