In Toledo

Well I made it this far. I am now in the USA and past the border. We got a Days Inn Hotel here for the next few hours then I am off to the Train Station to leave for Florida. It is such bad weather right now. I last saw sun as we were taking out dogs to the boarding place back in Canada.

I woke up late this morning and had to rush around to get everything cleaned up quickly. I then took the dogs to the boarding place and then we went out to pick up the car, and left then. It was a long drive but we made it to the boarder. It was so nice there. They called me a Q'y and I was the one guys first "Disney." It really began to feel real. Even more so now that I see all the American flags.

So now we are in the hotel like I said. The train ride goes till tomorrow afternoon when I switch trains and take my last root to Orlando. I got a ride for when I get to Orlando. Not sure how well the internet will work when I get there. I get there in the afternoon on Dec. 2nd.


Anyway I am going to get ready as we are heading out to eat, pick up some Alive cause I have a headache and some headphones so I don't go crazy. I will be back online again tonight. Maybe get on MSN tonight. We are not going to the train station till 9pm and even that will be to just drop off my luggage and then come back to chat some more before I leave. Once I am on the train I probably wont have the internet at all. But I will keep updating my computer so I can just copy and paste a nice updated journal entriee when I get there.

Less Then A Week Now

Well less then a week now and I will be living in Florida. I still have so much to do. It is getting crazy. But things are going well. I have a feeling Monday before I leave will be insane. I must remember to e-mail Disney with my flight times.

So much of nothing has been going on for me. I have been so busy I cant even think straight. I am of course excited about the adventure ahead. It is mixed with some nervousness but I think I found something to help calm the nerves... no not alcohol. LOL.

My friend from elementary school took me out to dinner last night. What a great time. We have been friends for the past 18 years. I mean how could it not be an awesome time. She is also coming to my final friend get together on Saturday. That will be nice too. And bringing a cake. :P

Tomorrow I am hanging out with one of my other friends for the day. We are going down town so I can have my favorite smoothie. I will miss them a lot when I am gone. Then we are coming back to this end of town and going out to eat.

Friday I possibly have an appointment... not sure yet. Doctor is supposed to call. Just to get my stomach looked at a bit more. But that day I also go out for dinner with our neighbors. And I think there is also something else that day too. And then I have my last hair appointment to get my hair all ready for a year at Disney. :)

Saturday I have breakfast with my uncle and mom. That will be exciting. I don't see my uncle too often. That evening I got a little get together with a few friends at Tim Hortons. Inbetween I am going to finish cleaning my room the rest of the way.

Sunday I got my Ceeps party. As long as all goes well LOL. Even though my suprise party was there it did not have the Ceeps people I usually see and talk to when I am there. I think that morning I will do laundry so I can pack my suitcase.

Monday I have brunch with mom. And then finishing up packing. I also need to clean off both computers of unwanted stuff or just stuff I wont need for the next year. I will probbly do both of that on Monday cause it can be done as I pack. As well as hopefully a going away picture.

Tuesday of course at like 4am we leave to get to the air port. I actually should be arriving in Orlando Florida around Noon. But not sure if that will stay that way or not. If anything it will keep being later. Darn flight was suposed to get me there at 10am when I first got it. Once I get to the appartnemt I will of course updated this. But I will probbly also update this again on the Monday before I leave. So keep your eye out. :)

Only 20 More Days

20 more days and I will be working in Walt Disney World. And to celebrate online I am opening my journals up to family and friends on facebook. So I thought I would spice up this place a little more for those who have either never been to Disney World, or those that just want some memories brought back.

The picture above is taken in the Canadian Pavillion in Epcot. It has been some time since I have last been there so I will do my best to explain. The two brown buildings on the left are the two main shops. I believe they also have an outdoor cart. That is where all the people in Merchandise work. The building in the distance on the left of this picture is Le Cellier Stakehouse. It will be there, or in the outdoor food cart that I will be working at.

To the left of this here is Spaceship Earth, the symbol of Epcot. Even if you have never been do Disney World most people seeing this already know what it is. Spaceship earth is not just the symbol but also has a ride within it.

Epcot is the park I will be working in. It is one of 4 Disney World Parks. (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios (MGM Studios) and Animal Kingdom.) There is the two water parks as well but I am talking about the ones with rides.

So I thought I would share a picture of it as well. :)
This is a picture from inside Le Cellier Stakehouse where I possibly will be working a month from now. I have always liked the look inside here. Thought it will be my first time seeing it when I start work.

As for where I will be living. I don't want to jinx it at all and show too many pictures. But the pictures below are two pictures of the Commons. Where most people coming to be part of the CRP live. I may or may not get put there but if I do you can at least see that before I get some pictures up. :)

And to add to that, anyone who is wondering that the houses that cast members live in are like, this is a tour by my friend who is working down there now of her first apartment that was in Chatham Square. (Another cast housing area.) I promise I will make a video tour of my house as soon as I get the chance. :)

Krystal's Apartment Tour


Anyway 20 days left till I am moving to Disney World. I am so excited. Things will start getting busy now I am sure. I still have much to do.

25 days left

Click on the picture above, hopefully it will go to a larger version. Otherwise I will post a link to see the full size of it so you can read it.

25 more days. Time is still flying by. I am still so excited, and very nervous. I really cant wait to meet everyone. It makes me so happy that I am getting along so well with those going the same time as me, and those still down there.

I started getting those second thoughts now. I hate those. I fear that I just wont be able to make it the year. Not that I will get home sick as much but just shearing everything. I am so privet in life. To suddenly have to sleep with someone else in the same room. Well it will be like one long vacation I guess. I just need to think of it like that. Nothing will stop me. Not even these thoughts. I just hope time slows a little bit so I can finish everything I need to do here. I think leaving with everything done that I wanted to do would make it easier.

So what else is there to say. Oh, I got my Visa... Is that new. I cant remember if I posted it or not. Also I think I will be getting a ride to the air port cause the bus is just crazy. I would have to leave at like 1:30am and then wait at the border till 4am till the next bus comes. NOT something I would want to happen on a night I probably wont sleep much anyway.

Well I am on my way out today for supper. I think I need a drink. LOL. And some ribs. I really need ribs. :) And I guess it celebrates the 25 more days left. :)

One More Month (And a Few hours)

Wow this is so strange to think of. I am both excited and nervous. Back in February when I first got the information that I would be leaving for Florida on Dec. 2nd I really never believed this month would ever come. It was so far away. Luckily I had many people I met from the interview going at different times. My Friend Krystal, who I actually told about the job and got her to apply, she got in for May 6th and has been there ever since. 2 people I met in the college program went down not long after Krystal. She was the first person I had met personally who went down. After that about 3 more people I met thought the interviews went down in June, and one more in July. None I had MET in August but people I knew online were going. And not much before that the college people returned home from their program there. By September most of the people going down I knew only from online, but knew quite well. I can think of 2 who I have talked to a lot who made it down in September. And then finally the last one I knew was in October. She was the last from our little interview dinner group we had to go, now it is just myself. I do believe I am part of the LAST of our whole interview group to be going, along with like 14 other people right from out group.

Well now it is my turn. I got my Visa not long ago. But there is still SO MUCH to be done in such a short month. There is lots of people I must go and visit, and collect addresses. I got lots of cleaning to do, have not packed a single thing but I think today I will make a packing and things to do checklist and hang it on my wall. So that I don't miss anything and over this next month if I forget something I will just add it to the collection.

So other then that I am all ready. This month will fly by but I will try to maybe start keeping this updated weekly till I leave just to get used to it. Once I leave of course the first week will be a daily post. But after that will be whenever I have time. And will probably be less often then my other Disney Journal. So if you haven't yet check it out. It will always have more detail then this one and be updated more often.
