DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE!

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! I have exciting news!

I received the e-mail yesterday and......*drum roll please*......

I GOT AN OFFER TO BE A CHARACTER PERFORMER AT WALT DISNEY WORLD IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA!

I am beyond thrilled.

I do not find out what character I will be until I get down to Florida in January, but I am 99% sure that I will be a costumed character.

One thing I do know is I'm chipmunk height! Chip & Dale anyone?

This news could not have been anymore exciting. The Disney blog was updated yesterday morning that acceptance letters have started going out. Everybody was freaking out - and I mean everybody! (I am part of the "entertainment hopefuls" group on Facebook and I could feel the nerves projecting from my computer into myself)

I did not have my laptop with me all day, so I checked my email at work (around 3:15pm) and had received nothing. I wasn't feeling too confident at this point. You could say that I was a tad discouraged.

Well, when I received my laptop and checked my e-mail around 7:00pm THE EMAIL WAS THERE!

I read, "Congratulations on your new role!" and about had a heart attack. I immediately called my mom to let her know and I couldn't stop smiling.

I literally thought that I stood no chance. I was not 100% confident in my audition, and I heard they were only filling 125-150 spots out of roughly 2,000 people that auditioned.

I mean, what rational person would be 100% confident that they would receive a role?!?

Regardless, I am so blessed and lucky to have been given this role by Disney.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I cannot wait to begin my journey!
