So I thought I would start a few "top 5" blogs. I dont know where else to start so I am going to do a general top 5 of everything in Disney World.

5. Candlelight Processional in EPCOT

The dates while on my program are: November 26, 2010 - December 30, 2010. I forgot that you don't need a ticket for the performance unless you want the dinner combination and confirmed seating. Therefore, whenever I have a night off in December, I think I pretty much need to get in line and see the candlelight show as many times as possible. I have only seen is once, andf that was about 15 years ago, but I remember it being so magical.



4. Biergarten Restaurant in Germany at Epcot
I absolutely LOVE this restaurant! It is buffet style and once you walk into the restaurant you actually feel like you are in Germany. The food is delicious and the entertainment is amazing. I have been there so many times but I went for my 21st and 22nd birthday dinners. They sing to all the birthdays on stage and I got a birthday card and a gingerbread cookie as well. :)




3. DOLE WHIP and Mickey Ice Cream Sandwiches!!!!
These are the most delicious desserts I love to get when I go to disney :) I loooove Dole whip and it wasn't until my last trip that i realized they had them at the Polynesian! I mean, they have the dole whip ice cream, but I think you have to go to Adventureland to get the floats :)
I also love the mickey ice cream sandwich with the cookies and cream ice cream!


2. The Contemporary Resort/Bay Lake Tower
This is defintely one of my favorite resorts. I have always loved the Contemporary because the monorail goes through it. It was always exciting to be on the monorail and approaching and entering the hotel. There is also somethign exciting about it. It might be the fact that everything is so open once you get to the Grand Concourse that there is so much excitement and you know whats going on everywhere.
My family just became Disney Vacation Club members and our "home" location is the Bay Lake Tower. We stayed there and it was beautiful! I could see the castle fromt he balcony and watched Wishes from my room! the fact that this resort is so close to the Magic Kingdom makes it so awesome.

1. THE MONORAIL!

There is nothing like hearing that voice when you get onto the Disney Monorail System. I remember hearing that voice way back in 1993 and it is still the same today. There is somthing that is SO exciting about being on the monorail. Seeing the seven seas lagoon and all of the hotels on the monorail is so awesome. I think just the excitement that you are about to approach the park and start a magical day makes the monorail so unique!

This was one of my favorite mornings in the magic kingdom, ever. It was the last morning before we left and I went in with my brother and his girlfriend. This was in January 2010. It was literally 34 degrees outside and that morning when i went to use my refillable mug to get coffee (love the refillable mugs) it was snowing/slushing. There was absolutely no wait for anything and there was no one in the park. This picture was at 9:30 am. Granted it was a nasty day, but we went on space mountain 3 times in about 20 minutes and we walked onto Peter Pan. Usually, we dont go on peter pan, because for some reason, that ride always has like.. an hour and a half wait.


CP stuff:
I have been trying to figure out the professional clothing for the CP. Alot of my professional clothes are mainly black. I think that is "too" professional for just simply going to classes at Disney or even taking a tour of the park on a 90 degree day. I am trying to make the most out of my money and buying my easter outfit with the tan dress pants I want to get for the CP. haha trying to be wise with my money because i know the CP will drain me.

Have a magical day!

updates!

Hey guys!

It has been a long time since I have updated. Everything has been so crazy! I have been to Texas for a weekend to visit my cousins in February and I just got back from a week spring break in CANCUN! It was amazing haha.

Now, CP stuff. Since my last blog, alot has happened. I accepted my offer and I will be arriving August 30th for Merchandise! I am beyond excited. I am flying out of Pennsylvania, where I will be visiting my boyfriend at Penn State on August 29 (which is sadly his birthday) and I will be landing in Orlando at midnight! I will then be checking into the Hoiday Inn Sunspree to spend the night! My friend from college/future CP roommate, Kelly Kutash will be staying there with me! The next day we will meet up with our new future roommates, Kelly Marlow and Joanna De La Cruz to check in! We really want to be in Paterson or Chatham, and we might want to expand our apartment to 6 or 8 people, but we want to play it safe with a smaller number until we get there and see what is up.

I am flying down on the 29th with some stuff but my parents are driving my car down for me a week or two after. They are unable to make the drive with me when I move in because my brother moves to college the same weekend and I really did not want to do the drive myself.

I need opinions lol I am looking at books to read about the CP/working for disney. I have heard mixed reviews about some and how they bash disney and such so I wanted to see if you guys have read any of these/heard of them?

I was reading someone else's blog and I saw they mentioned about checking the spam folder of your email. I was bored and had nothing else to do so i went to my email to check it. Before I even got to my spam folder, i see the Disney email pop up. Literally when I get to the page, my blackberry vibrates and it says i got accepted!!!

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!

Continuing the waiting game...

First off, hello! My name is Jen and I could not be more excited to be one of those waiting to hear from the most magical place on earth! I am 22 years old and I go to college at Western New England College in Springfield, MA. I am going to graduate in May 2010 as a management major with an international business minor.

I love to travel! I have been all over the US, including Hawaii, California, Washington (state and DC), Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, all over the east coast, etc. I have also been to Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, the Bahamas, USVI, etc. Last summer I spent 5 weeks in Europe studying abroad and with my family. I went to Italy, Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria, Liechtenstein, England, Ireland, and Northern Ireland.

I love Disney! I love everything about the company. the movies, parks, hotels, etc. I have been to Disney World 10 times and to Disney Land twice. I have been to Disney World 3 times in the past 2 years. I also celebrated my 21st and 22nd birthdays at Disney! the checkout date for Fall is Jan 7(my birthday) so im hoping to be there to turn 23 as well. :)

I love my boyfriend! I have been with my amazing boyfriend, Eric for 3 1/2 years. he has come to Disney with me a few times and will visit me whenever he can if I attend the program. He is truly the love of my life :)

So that's a little about me :) I'll post again soon about how my interview went :)
