Disney College Program

A lot has happened to me since I last wrote about this program. I have met so many amazing friends and people. I can not imagine leaving any of them.

I will start off with character performer auditions and my program extension. I sadly did not get an email regarding character performing so I am assuming it is a not for me. Although I am sad I would not have been able to accept this role even if I was offered it. I also can no longer accept my offer to extend my program until July 30th. I have to go home for medical things. I am thinking about applying for the program again after I graduate college assuming I don't have a job.

Work has been amazing! I love all of my managers, coordinators, and fellow cast members. My managers have been so nice and accommodating with me and have made sure I felt safe in everyway. I am going to miss working at Animal Kingdom so much but I know it will be nice to be home and with family. I work in Merchandise in Asia and I have two different jobs. One is being a merchandiser/greeter/merchantainer and the other is floor stocking. When I am doing my first job I am ringing up guests, answering questions, and interacting with our merchandise and bringing the items to life. When I am floor stock, I am making sure that our stores and carts are show ready and restocking all the items that are needed.

FRIENDS. One thing that Disney never tells you about are all of the lifelong friends that you will meet. I have so many friends that I plan on having for the rest of my life. Some I have even told are going to be my bridesmaids. They have no choice! Haha. I have made so many memories with people and I am so thankful for that.

Memories. I have been able to do and experience so much on this program. I have gone to Universal, which I haven't been able to do before! And I was able to go see the ACTUAL carriage used in the new Cinderella movie and take a picture with a glass slipper. I have been able to eat at various Disney restaurant's with my friends and I am so thankful for all of that. I am going to be so sad with this program ends, but I know I will be able to have the memories that will last a lifetime.
