A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes...

Dreams are a funny thing...People say "It's a wish your heart makes," but that can't always be true? I wanna learn about REAL dreams, and aspirations of what people want in their life. So tell me.. whats your dream?

My dream is something easy you could imagine and it was to work at Walt Disney World. BUT this was only a short term goal, a long term goal of mine is to fight for everything I want and to make something magical and huge out of my life. I, at the age of 22, have learned how it feels to really want and work for something. When I was a freshman in high school I tried our for out cheer team. I kind of goofed around acted like I had known what I was doing and went to private sessions for weeks to get my back hand spring on a regular mat. I was too scared, I didn't try hard enough, and I thought I did well in my try-out spite the fact that I didn't throw any tumbling. Incorrect statement. I did not make the team and was devastated. I re-tried out my senior year, all or nothing baby. This time there was no messing around I wanted this and I was gonna get it. I got my back handspring flawlessly on the mat through it for try-outs and gave those judges one hell of a show. Say hello to who was then finally a varsity cheerleader [and math club president...I had a funny high school experience].

Moment number 1 realizing what a dream is: It was my dream to become a high school cheerleader and I didn't want to be the only thing that stood in my own way.

You are your worst enemy.

Moment number 2 realizing what a dream is: My second chance toward a huge dream of mine was Disney. I constantly doubted myself through this whole process, and there was no reason to. I went through my interview totally nervous, but answered every question from the heart and honestly. I got accepted. Next was entertainment auditions. I was finally picking up that I'm me and that's all I needed to be. I need to work my butt off and not be my worst enemy and just be myself to get me somewhere I need to go! I had the time of my life at auditions. It was like it was a place FOR ME, and I was able to make this happen by working super hard and being myself.

I'm sorry for the sob story or if this isn't up-beat but it was nice for me to see who I was and to learn how to fight for something I believe in and that if anyone wants to go for entertainment at Walt Disney World should never be afraid and to just go for everything you want. And most importantly I learned it's true....

All you need is Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust....and all of your dreams will come true!

Have a Magical Day!

Hello Disney addicts, long time no magic. I'm sorry for my slight absence, but haven't had too much to discus. I have been my typical self by procrastinating and haven't started packing or anything else to get ready for my trip. BUT that all changed when I finally received my NEW HIRE PAPER WORK. Yes paperwork is not something to get that excited about and it was pretty tedious but I mean come on its DISNEY PAPER WORK. I'm sure you will be able to match my excitement when you get your new hire paper work some day and you will have one magical day! 

So to focus on that for a brief moment. This is something that doesn't work on google chrome (which sucks because its all I use) and you need to be completely updated on your adobe. I actually completed mine at work because you know they're always up to date on their stuff ;). So basically it's a bunch of information you will have to sign, and by sign I mean use your mouse to paint your name, and click a button for each document to submit it. When you have gone through and briefly read each one, BUT SAVED ALL TO READ LATER, the last one you submit and finish nothing happens. Its weird and will make you believe you haven't done everything, but don't worry you did :) 

The things you will be signing are things about your direct deposit your costuming, and the general rules you have to abide by to work for The Mouse. 

Stay tuned for what you've all been waiting for THE PACKING list. 

ONE MONTH NOTICE

Just one more month! One more month till I'm officially living in Orlando, one more month till I meet all my room mates, and one more month till I'm working for the MOUSE.

I'm sure you can understand my excitement . This is finally becoming all too real! I have yet to start packing though, so that post is coming VERY soon I promise! I can't believe in just one month I will be starting my job in Entertainment at the MOST MAGICAL PLACE ON EARTH.


I'm never gonna wanna come home!

30 DAYS!

Making the switch

I'm currently just to excited about Disney, and am well aware that it's all I'm going to talk about for the next....7 months...and probably longer so I'm making the leap.

For the Temporary 7 months

I also think that my trafficking...if I get any at all (who wants to hear about my normal life) is because of my posts on Dinsey.

So I'm hoping that I can answer all questions people have when looking forward to their Disney College Program!

Spread the word and feel free to ask anything you would like, because I know it's nerve racking waiting for a Disney answer and trying to get into Disney Entertainment!! Please follow by email to the right, or subscribe to posts or SHARE it since the most exciting part of my journey is soon to begin!

4th of July Fun!

So one crazy holiday weekend. My family and I did our usual, cut out a day early from work and head to the lake.  ( Much better attire than work attire)

I love going to the lake because it's just so relaxing and a great time to catch up on some reading. But, this weekend it was a tad different...and by different I mean we spend a lot of our "in the house time" having a disney movie marathon!

Started with a little 101 and Dalmatians, which is so fantastic! I made a full list you can see here of all disney movies!

I then did what I do best by laying out, re-reading a book that I love, eating healthy and non healthy at the same time. 

And of course while I was doing my relaxing my parents and sister had to spend 6 hours with Millie at the vet because she had a cut that was infected...meet our new satellite dish, she's great!

Then we had some great times with fireworks with the occasional mess up that blew up on the ground!

The Boat parade where you get free candy!

Next night was the great Little Mermaid which is my favorite! 

All together I had a fantastic Disney and relaxation filled weekend with my family and am so happy I get so spend this much time with my family before my program at Disney in August!! 

ONLY 35 DAYS TILL MY CHECK-IN DAY!!!!
