Finally… in Disney World! The first few days

Hey everyone! Guess what… I’m in Disney World!!!

It has been an AMAZING two days for me! I can’t even begin to describe to you this week. It has been up and down but since being in Florida it has been wonderful. So, let me start from the beginning!

So, Monday I started my long drive to Florida from the little town of Bethlehem, PA at about 6:15 AM. I strapped Mickey up in the seat next to me and the two of us embarked on our journey to Columbia, SC. I met up with my roommate, Ashley, in Hershey and she drove behind me as we made our way down. We stayed in Columbia for the night after an 8.5 hour drive.

Then, there was the next day. We left at about 8:30 AM. We crossed the border to GA and all the sudden, I looked behind me and saw Ashley’s car engulfed in smoke. I called her and her car completely broke down. We were set back for about 3.5 hours. We had to pack everything from her car into mine. Luckily, I have an SUV so we made it work. It took FOREVER to get to FL. I felt bad for Ash, she was having such a rough day because we found out our hotel didn’t receive her SS card for Check-In!

But, the next day brought everything back up. We got to Vista a little after 6 AM and met our roommates- Jordan, Taylor, Katie and Megan. We only waited about an hour and a half till they started to check us in. Check in is about an hour process. We had to sign some papers, then we had one of the roommates (Katie) go request us a room. We decided to do first floor Patterson so we didn’t have to climb steps and we got what we wanted! Then, we had to register our cars (which I was worried about because I had a printed copy of my insurance) but they accepted it! 

Then, we boarded a bus at 9 AM to go to Casting. When we were in line as we got in, we were given a sticker that told us where we were working. I was getting excited and finally, I came up and got… MAGIC KINGDOM! I was so thrilled! It does mean long, ridiculous hours but I don’t care. Casting was a longer process… we had to get our forms for employment through and a background check. I was just so happy and excited that I was just going through it in the bubbliest of moods. I think the cast members enjoyed it though. 

Then, it was off to Patterson! We walked in and I fell in love with it. I love it! With six roommates, it can get tough, but it has been fine so far. We mainly unpacked yesterday. We bought some stuff at Target and then we had a meal at the T-Rex Cafe in Downtown. Sadly, it was POURING so that was a big big bummer. We were soaked when we got back because we decided to take the bus. I passed out when I got back- it had been a long day.

Today, we had a housing meeting at 10 AM. It’s not the most exciting thing in the world but they try to make it fun. And it did give us a lot of useful information. Then, we got our grocery list together. We all went to Chick-Fil-A (delish!) and then did major grocery shopping. After, I had to go back to Casting because I messed up my bank information, but it went super quick.

Now, I finally have a little downtime. I will never post this long again, but honestly, these last two days in particular have been wonderful!

Tomorrow I have Traditions and then I start training on Saturday! It’s crazy! I’m hoping to get to the parks by Saturday night once I get my ID (I won’t be able to tomorrow).

Until next time… Have a Magical Day!

I’m done with classes forever…
