Once upon a time, I decided to start a blog to keep friends and family updated with my adventures on the Disney College Program. However, my posting only lasted until 55 days before I left good ole Rocky Top.
I'm terrible at this game.
I've had fun with a few vlogs since arriving, but with CP Wifi...this is a lot easier. If I can remember to do it, that is.
I feel like Pooh, when I think about all I could put in this thing. "The Many Adventures of Ginger K". I suppose the best place to start is the beginning. Unfortunately, I'm much too lazy to go all the way back there. So we'll just do a review Sparknotes style.
This program has been so much more than I expected. In many ways. My apartment is amazing and a true new home. My roommates are fabulous and always keep me laughing. One, I plan to move in with after our program ends. My role at the Wilderness Lodge is an ever changing adventure. I have had the opportunity to network with some amazing people and leaders while getting to work as the first person many people see on their own Disney journeys. The CP life is...well...a journey. It's unlike anything I've ever experienced before and I am loving every second of it.
Orlando has been my home for almost four months now and there is still so much I haven't seen or done. I still haven't been to all the resorts and I still have one water park to check off the list. But OH, the things I have done. I'm spoiled by my ability to play in the parks whenever I'd like. And I don't think I've lost any weight since arriving due to my fondness for Disney ice cream.
The CP program is truly a learning experience. I've learned so much about myself, different cultures, and of course the Disney Company. The Wilderness Lodge crew went on a backstage tour of the Haunted Mansion last week and made one of my dreams come true. When I was a wee ginger lass, I saw my first backstage Disney clip on the Disney Channel. It was of Haunted Mansion. I've been in love with the ride ever since. The intricate details and immersive storytelling of the ride blow me away every time I ride it. Because of the opportunities and overall AHMAYZINGness of this experience, I have decided to officially move to Orlando in January. This is no longer just an experience, but the start to my Disney career. Whoot whoot. The next step is either a professional internship or going full time while I finish my degree in Business Management. If you didn't see this coming...you don't know me very well.
Wow, this is getting long. Moving right along.
Working for the Boss Mouse is da bomb. More adventures to come. Right now, it's time to watch Mean Girls with the roomies for the 300th time since we've been here.
