Living the Disney Dream

For those who do not know I have been wanting to participate in the Disney College Program since I was a freshman in college. However, I haven't applied up until now because I didn't want to take a semester off of college or get pushed back (in terms of graduation).

Well, as everybody knows, I graduate in December. Therefore, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to apply for the college program for the spring! I will use it as my "study abroad" except I'll already be done with college.

September 6, 2013 - Applied for Program
September 6, 2013 - Had Web-Based Interview
September 11, 2013 - Had Phone Interview
September 25, 2013 - GOT ACCEPTED TO THE PROGRAM!

Obviously I have waited a while to write this post. This was for a couple of reasons:

1) I did not accept the internship right away
2) I was weighing the pros and cons of taking this internship over a full time job
3) I had a phone interview set up for a full-time job at another company in Raleigh

Basically, I didn't want to commit without considering all of my options. Even though my heart was in this internship and I have been wanting to do it for 3 years, I wanted to make a smart decision.

Here are the facts:

I was offered a role with Attractions and for the spring advantage term (January to August).
I officially ACCEPTED the role on Oct 1, 2013
I picked my arrival and departure dates: Jan 13, 2014 - Aug 1, 2014

I am now a part of 5 different facebook groups related to the program:

1) Disney College Program Spring/Spring Advantage 2014
2) Disney College Program Accepted Spring Advantage 2014
3) DCP Spring/Spring Advantage 2014 Attractions
4) DCP Spring Advantage January 13th Arrivals
5) Disney College Program Spring/Spring Advantage 2014 Entertainment

What?!?

Entertainment?!?

Yes. Yes I am part of the entertainment group. More to come on that later.
