What an exhausting weekend -- both mentally and physically. I am so drained I feel like I could sleep for days! Saturday morning we left at 7:30 a.m. and spent the whole afternoon (till 5:45) searching for apartments, literally driving ALL over southwest Orlando. We were able to see four properties (of which we really only liked one) before heading ( Read more... )

I know that practically everyone already knows I've been hired at Walt Disney World, but for my own memories, I want to document my weekend in detail. I'm sure this is a weekend I'll never forget ( Read more... )

This morning as I was checking Pink is the New Blog for my daily dose of celebrity gossip, I noticed that (rightfully so) he chose to ignore the day's goss in favor of a listing of the 3,000 names of those who lost their lives five years ago today. I skimmed through the list and honestly started to tear up, especially when I saw that several of ( Read more... )

Have you ever noticed that people often think that just because we are still young, that we know nothing about the world? I find it funny because (maybe this is not the case with everyone) I feel like even though I've only been around 22 years, I have learned so much about people, the world and myself. A sampling ( Read more... )

So today was awesome. I was shadowing the girl at Disney whose position I am being considered for and we started the morning by doing two photo shoots with none other than John Tartaglia (aka Princeton in the original Broadway cast of Avenue Q!). He's now part of a Disney Channel program for preschoolers called Johnny and the Sprites, but he's ( Read more... )

I'm feeling better about life and myself in the past few days. Although I'm still incredibly lonely and bored, and dying for some social interaction, I'm trying my best to keep my chin up and focus on the future ( Read more... )

Maybe I psychoanalyze myself too much, or maybe I just have too much time on my hands so I spend most of it thinking about myself. Regardless, I'm in a funk right now (also could be brought on by impending PMS). For the last week, I've noticed lots of my former DZ sisters uploading facebook pictures from recruitment. Everyone is all smiles, dressed ( Read more... )

Today my mom and I decided to plan a trip to Disney for Epcot's Food and Wine Festival, which I can now attend :). I'm really excited! We're going to drive up Friday, Nov 3., relax at the hotel (we're staying at Port Orleans Riverside again, but I requested the "mansion" rooms this time) and have a nice dinner. Then Saturday we'll go to the park, ( Read more... )

Have you ever been on a journey somewhere, sure of where you're headed, but lost en route without a map? Sometimes it's wise to ask someone for directions, but many times if you're really lost, people can only help you to a certain extent, like getting you back to a main road, and then you're still lost. When we're lost, we often ride our brakes, ( Read more... )

This past weekend I made a much-needed trip to Orlando that was both lots of fun and very productive. I left Boca Friday late morning and headed for the Marketing and Sales office of Disney Parks and Resorts in Celebration. I got a little lost (typical), but was absolutely in awe of the property when I finally did arrive. The series of buildings ( Read more... )
