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.

Calgary and 50 more days

Since this is mainly Disney stuff. I will keep the Calgary part short.

I went to Calgary Alberta for my cousins wedding the end of September. Man was it ever the best way to end a horrible month. After such horrible days of September with the pets getting sick or hurt, it was so great to get to to get out of the Provence and go see my family. The hotel was AMAZING. Check it out: http://www.fairmont.com/palliser/Photos/ The celebration was MAGICAL and really I had not had that great of time in years. I wish my family lived closer so we could be together more often. To end off this amazing time I had probably one of my last dreams come true before I go work at Disney. I got to take the train from Edmonton to Toronto. That is a 2 day 3 night event. I met some awesome people who I will never forget. Learned some new card games. AND saw the northern lights. THAT was neat. They wernt as bright as they would have been further north. But it was just neat to see. They looked like a huge waterfall in the sky.

Well now I am home, and in thinking about it, I only have 50 more days. That is awesome, and really weird. Finally such a small number has come. I cant belive it has been 50 days since my 100 day mark. Time is going by all too fast for me. Less then 2 months now.

Today is also our thanksgiving dinner next door. Which means if I want to make a picture to share with everyone to celebrate only 50 more days, I should get started soon.

I still have much to do. This month I have to finish up work. As I am not working past November. 1st. That will be anoying but good when it is all done. I have to get my health stuff still. I have to get packed as well. But that will come later of course. I am spending most of November drawing. To catch up on things and finally be super happy that I am done working. LOL.

Anyway no flight change yet. LOL. I was so expecting by now they would have changed again. I will keep my fingers crossed and hopefully no more change. :)

(If you want to see more about my trip to Calgary, go to the link below, to my Not So Disney Journal. I am still adding entries. I have been rather busy the last few days. So by my next post on here is should be done. It has pictures and such too. And I might add some videos for my friends on livejournal. Otherwise most of the stuff can also be seen on facebook.)

Have a magical day. And to all my friends on here. I will catch up on your journals soon and leave comments when I got some time. I really missed reading them all so I am glad a few of you have posted things so I have stuff to read. :)

Disney Package Has Arrived

Well September has been a bad month. So many pet problems. But it sure ends with a blast. Today when I got home from taking my dog to the vet to have his stitches removed (FINALLY) I saw we had a package. Could it really be what I was hopeing for. And guess what. It was! My Disney Package! I was SO happy. It is a little bent so it was hard to get pictures of, but I am flatening it out now. I will share a few pictures I did get cause they turned out quite well. :)

This is the first one... of course. The front cover of the Disney Folder. No picture collection is complete without it. :)

The next one below is the opened up version of the package, with an opened view of the "Circle booklet" in the center.



Yay. I cant belive it is finally here. Like I said I cant tell too much about it cause I have hardly looked at it. I dont like it all folded. So I am hopeing I will get the chance later tonight to read it better. As usual my disney live journal page has more on this as well as more pictures. I just had to let you know I got it. I have so much to do this week as I am going to Calgary at the end of it for my Cousin's wedding. So I will leave you with two more pictures, and when I get home from Calgary I will get back to my ruteen of Disney Journals and such. :) It feels so much more real now. Only thing else I need is my Visa. Once that gets here It will be very real.

Here is the two luggage tags, the mears bus coupon and behind is the Disney Look book... which you can see better below. :)

Flight Info Changed

I have to admit, I am kind of mad about it. I picked the early flight for a reason. Now it is later then I would have liked it to be. Oh well maybe I will meet up with more people going the same day as me. I now arrive at 11:30am (roughly) in Orlando. So I am much later then the 9:15am I was landing at before. This means it will be past lunch by the time I am sitting in my apartment unpacking. That is a lot to get done in a short amount of time.

But oh well. There is good to it. I wont have to wake up early. And as long as the weather is not bad I should be able to get a drive no problem to the airport so I can get leaving pictures before I go. :) So I have to admit that is fine with me. :)

100 MORE DAYS

I cant believe it is finally here. 100 more days from right now I will be sitting in Orlando Florida unpacking my bags and beginning my new life at Walt Disney World. I am so excited. There is so much to do still but now it is now that things will finally start happening.

Not a whole lot planned today. This evening I will be going out for dinner with the whole family to celebrate my cousin's wedding shower. I am excited cause I will get to see her and meet the new baby. So that in a way is the best kind of celebration I could ask for for my 100 more days. Once my vlog gets finished and ready I will edit this post and put it in as well as my picture to celebrate.

To all those who are writing blogs that I am watching. I am really enjoying them. I may not get by as often to reply. But I read each one you guys make. And if I get behind I go back and read them. I am loving your stories of getting ready to be at Disney or being there. It is the best part of waiting to be there. :)
