My countdown

7 months and 22 days...

to go until Disney World :D

So I received an email today from STB telling me that they have my police check :) Which is very exciting because hopefully I will get more information soon, or better, the welcome pack. The welcome pack includes things like a Disney look book, some info in Disney and everything to sort out a J-1 visa! The whole program will be so much more real once I have that visa in my passport.

Oh I also found out that I have to be a full time student at the time of leaving for Orlando so my plan to drop my prac subject in first semester has failed. 8 weeks without being able to work means a lot less spending money :(

I have started making some lists, such as: things I will need to buy before leaving and once I am there, luggage, documents for the visa interview and some things I would like to do in my year away (Universal, Sea World, a Disney cruise, Peurto Rico, Canada, Vegas etc).

A lot of exciting plans are happening on the Facebook pages for the July 2011 group. We have 2 tshirt designs that are being voted for (they are both amazing) which I think we will all be wearing on our first day so we know who is new etc, A dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe on the 15th or 16th and then a stop by Margaritaville, which will be awesome!, A few of the NZ girls (Ashley, Natalie and Jess) and I plan on arriving in Orlando early, the 13th I think (if everyone agrees), and we will hopefully be staying in one of the Disney hotels and then spending the 14th and 15th at Universal and Harry Potter World , very exciting! Karina and Ariesha are also keen to come to Universal and HPW too.

I think that's it for now,

I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!! :D

YAY!!! VERY EXCITED!

Okidoke. I found the Disney International Program a few weeks ago and started the application process. It involved me just sending an email to STB saying that I was interested in the program and asking what I had to do next to apply. To make this short it basically went from them sending me forms to fill out, me sending them back and then having an interview via Skype (It was straaange!) and then just yesterday, 5 days after my interview, I found out that I have been accepted for Lifeguard and Operations July 2011 for 12 months! :D

Hmm...so I suppose a little bit about me?

My birthday is the 06/02/1990 so I will be turning 22 over in the US.

I am a nursing student.

My favourite Disney movies: The Lion King, The Fox and the Hound and Homeward Bound.

I hardly ever wear black.

I am a Harry Potter nerd.

Sharks and jellyfish scare me, the ocean is a crazy place. Oh and spiders...

I don't eat red meat.

My favourite Disney Princesses are Snow White and Belle.

I love how the sun can instantly make the day 10x better!

I love accents. Favourite? Irish.

Okkaaay....so that'll do.

Bye :)
