Well I finally received that fateful email. Exactly a month later at 6:11AM my phone beeped and those exciting words appeared in my inbox. Unfortunately, a lot has happened during my month of waiting to hear back. I've decided that Spring 2015 is not my time to go back to the Disney College Program. It will be my last semester of college and I don't want to miss out on the memories with my friends (those of you in sororities or fraternities might understand this the most). Plus I, once again, missed auditions as I had initiation for my sorority. If I'm going to do this again, I'm going to do it right. Because I missed auditions, I was kind of excited to see what they would determine as the "role best fit for me." Wait for it.....get excited......Quick Service Food and Beverage. Not exactly my ideal role.
I think it is best for me to go back to Disney in the fall. I won't miss auditions and I think some of my old DCP friends are planning on going back during that time too!
I can't tell you how long I've dreamed of writing this blog! I just felt in my heart that I was going to find out today. Today I kept my Dashboard open on another tab and in between study breaks I would refresh it, with no new news. Finally I decided to stop checking for a while so I could get my study on. A while later I thought, "what the heck," and I refreshed my Dashboard again. Where I normally saw "Thank you for applying," I saw "Congratulations!"
I, of course, freaked out and immediately went to my email and found this beauty waiting for me!
At 1:39pm the email I had been long awaiting for had finally arrived! Like the girl I am I immediately started crying. I couldn't believe it. I was accepted. The email I received took me to further documentation where I found out my role: merchandise. I have to admit, I am not upset, however I'm not exactly thrilled, I really wanted concierge for some reason. However, my first job when I was fifteen was in retail so I know I'll be able to handle myself. Plus, I did put merchandise as "High Interest" on my application for that very reason. I know that no matter what I do, I'm going to have an amazing time! I can't wait to find out what park I'm in!
Excited as ever, I quickly paid my program fees, a whopping $304.50 (thanks Mom!) and picked my arrival/departure dates: January 20th-May 16th. I had met this girl Sydney via Facebook before I got accepted and we talked about being potential roommates if I got accepted and if I ended up getting the same dates as her. Luckily we have the same dates so I found my future roommate. Now we just have to find two more because we'd love to live in a Patterson two bedroom.
After I followed all the steps that were required, I received a couple more emails and now it's officially official! In a little over two months I will be in Florida, living there! Obviously it still hasn't hit me yet, everyone was right when they said it's a pretty surreal feeling.
Well now that I've been I plan to start a vlog in addition to this blog (I didn't want to start it earlier just in case), I know it can sometimes be boring to read lengthy posts, so look forward to that! Until then I need to focus on school so I can come out of this semester with my 4.0 goal. I'll update you with anything DCP if it comes my way!
