Welcome to my Disney Blog

Welcome to My Disney Blog

As you can probably guess by now, I got hired as a Walt Disney Cast Member. My arrival date is December 2nd 2008. Not much more to say for this blog, Just a super long wait. I have actually known about my accepted arrival date since Feb. 15th 2008, so I have already been waiting almost half of my wait so far. (And I actually found out about the job possibility and began applying in July 2007. Due to the fact I just missed the interview in my area I had to wait till Feb. 2008 for the next interview.) Anyway I will be working in Epcot in the Canadian Pavilion. (If you want to know more check out some of my links, especially the presentation. That is a fun way to find out more about this job.) I am from Ontario, Canada. Which is one of the many other countries Disney hires from for a one year contract that I am part of. I am part of the CRP or (Cultural Representative Program). Don't be fooled by the word Program, you don't have to be going to college our university for this. (The International College Program, ICP or the College Program, CP you have to be in a 4 or more year program in a college or university.) I myself have finished college in the Technical Theater Program. But if even half the people working in theater are anything like most of the people I met going there, I don't want to be part of that group. LOL.

Due to the long wait before I leave, and lack of information I am not going to be posting more posts to this blog till around November 2008. This is because there really is not a whole lot to say. Between now and then the main Disney things are, Gathering a bunch of Canadian stuff, getting insurance for my first 4 months of being down there. After that I am on their insurance. And that is about it. My flight there is already booked and plans are being made with it. I will be making 3 PRE-Disney Vlogs to post on youtube, which you can find at the bottom of this page. One will be posted in August, the other will be posted in October, and the last will be posted in Late November.

If you plan to watch this over my time of working in Disney, then over the months of waiting be sure to check out some of my links on the left hand side. My "Other Disney Journal" will be updated often. For little things like "I got all my Canadian Stuff", and to "announce my new vlogs" and other things relating to Disney and my future there. I also have at the moment two Disney Cast Member Journals who are already down there. So if you get bored check them out. And if your from Canada, Mexico, China, Morocco, France, Norway, Germany, Sub-Saharan Africa (Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Lesotho, Swaziland, and South Africa), Southeast Asia (India, Indonesia, Nepal, Thailand), Italy, Japan or United Kingdom then you are also able to apply for the same 1 year contact with Disney that I have. (And even if your not, the ICP includes the countries above and many more.) So I have many sites also that may help people in their "Quest to be a Disney Cast Member."

And like I said not much else to say but bookmark this blog and keep an eye on it the end of this year. Hopefully I can make it fun and exciting, both for thoese thinking of applying, and thoese who just want to read about the adventure. :)

Anyway Have a Magical Day. (And several months)

Be Back in October or November.
