Spring 2013

Hello lovely followers!

Well… It looks like Disney had an overwhelming amount of applicants this year and I didn't get the internship after all :/ I'm still really bummed about it, but I'm not going to give up, and neither should you.

At first, I was mad. Mad that Disney overlooked me. Mad that I tried my hardest and it still wasn't enough. Mad that I am perfect for Disney and they don't see it. Just plain mad. But I gave it time and now I'm optimistic and see it as a challenge now. Nothing good in life comes without struggle and I'm going to keep fighting for an internship with the Disney College Program or any Disney Internship for that matter!

I encourage all of you to stay motivated if it's your dream to work for Disney. Next year, I'm going to graduate and all I want is to move to California and have a career with a company I love and will love forever. Keep your head up and keep checking back to see my progress. The countdown on my computer already says 96 days until I can apply again. Isn't that exciting?!

Love you all!

As most of you already know, I applied for the Disney College Program in January. Well it's almost been the full 4 Months and I still haven't gotten my acceptance email. I've received 3 pending emails and a promise to hear back from Disney by April 25th but still no sign of my application progressing. I am very optimistic about this whole thing though and I really believe that if it's meant to be, it will happen!

Hence why I've been MIA in the blogging world :)

Are any of you still Pending or In Progress??

Comment below and let me know!

I'll keep you updated on my adventures and progress to come… In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine and have a great weekend!

Sitting…Waiting…Wishing...

I thought a picture from Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was appropriate for a blog post about waiting for my acceptance from the Disney College Program. Yesterday was very nerve wracking! I waited and waited for the "restricted" Disney call to come through for my interview. To keep my mind off of the anticipation, I scrolled through Disney Tumblr blogs while getting myself into the Disney mind set. I posted up "Please Be Quiet" signs everywhere so that nobody would start vacuuming or yelling uncanny things (mind you, I live in a sorority). 1:30 came and went and I started to freak out… What if I had given them the wrong number? What if they declined me already? What if they forgot about me… AHH! So many thoughts were racing through my mind. I double check the time, and turn my ringer on extra loud.

20 minutes later, I receive THE call. I take a deep breath to compose myself and answer the phone with a cheery "Hello?" Buzzing with excitement, I can hear the nerves vibrating in my voice. The lady on the other line was very nice and started off asking me simple questions before the actual interview questions.

She began with the big question, Why do you think the Disney College Program is for you? Why do you want to do it… I rattled off answers, and finally decided I was ready for the next question. She continued on by asking me what my preference was between Disneyland and Disney World (Since I applied for both) I stated Disneyland with lots of excitement, and told her that it was my favorite place in the entire world. Next, she asked me which roles were my top two and I said: Merchandise and Attractions. Then she asked about my work experience and I answered that one with flying colors since I have a lot of retail experience. Then, she asked simple questions like, Do you have a license? Do you have a car that you would want to bring? Have you lived with other people before (a sorority with over 50 girls? Check). Then she asked if I had any more questions and I really didn't since I've been researching this program for many many many many years. She told me it usually takes 2 to 3 weeks to hear back and sometimes longer…. That was that… She bid me farewell and I floated off into Neverland as I hung up the phone.

The last stage was over with. Now I just have to sit and wait and hope that they select me for one of the Disneyland Merchandising positions (preferably on Main Street USA :) My fingers are crossed that this dream of mine will become a reality.

Until next time… Feel free to ask me any questions you might have about the program! Leave your comments below.

New Years Resolutions

As the year is coming to an end it's time to make some New Years Resolutions!

Here are my top things that I would like to change or dreams I would like to

accomplish for the year 2012. Enjoy!

.ONE.

My biggest dream and resolution for 2012 is to apply for the

Disney College Program for Disneyland and work there :)

.TWO.

My second resolution is to continue collecting Disney books about everything Disney.

Vintage books and new books.

.THREE.

Although this one tends to be a bit of a cliche resolution, I want to continue eating healthy all year so that I look great and feel great when it comes time for Disney… Also so I can enjoy Disney food when the time comes.

.FOUR.

This resolution is to continue creating Disney Inspired outfits, and wearing them on a daily basis! I hope to gain more fans as the year goes on and help people create their own Disney style.

.FIVE.

Collect Vintage Disney Stamps!

.SIX.

If you can dream it… You can do it! Do things that may seem impossible and

live my life to the fullest.

.SEVEN.

It means no worries… For the rest of my days.

Worry less & Live more.

.EIGHT.

This dream is a collection of a few different things.

I want to collect Disney maps.

Have more Adventures in life.

Explore every nook and cranny of Disneyland.

.NINE.

Take more pictures and capture the memories.

.TEN.

Dream big and make my own sparks and fireworks when it comes to doing the things that I love most by not letting anyone get in the way of my dreams.

Cheers,

Fall 2012

Hello Lovely Disnerds :)

I have had a change of heart and have decided that I will be applying for the DisneyLAND College Program for Fall 2012. For a while, I worried more about finishing school since next year will be my senior year and I was hesitant to push back my graduation date. The more I wait - the more I contemplate my life and the more my desire to work at Disneyland grows. I know it will be hard work and long hours but I'm ready for a change and Disneyland seems to be the perfect adventure for me. This is my year to live out my dreams and do things that I've always wanted to do. Keep following along with my adventure with Disney as the deadline to apply approaches.

XOXO

A very Disney Christmas...

Merry Christmas Disney Lovers!

How many of you watched the Disney Christmas Parade today?!

I did!!

I loved how they showed both the Disney World parade and Disneyland's. It brought back so many fond memories of being at Disneyland last summer, made me tear up a bit, and it helped me realize that I am meant to work at Disneyland.

This was a very Disney Christmas for me in many ways. I received many Disney inspired gifts, and continue to find my passion for all things Disney because of the happiness and positivity I carry with me throughout my everyday life.

I hope you all have a merry holiday season, and a wonderful beginning to a new year. A year to follow your dreams and do what you've always dreamed of doing.

Just do it!! That's my motto for the new year.

Share with me your dreams and aspirations for the coming year.

Cheers to 2012 :)
