I booked my tickets!!

I booked my tickets!!  It's very exciting, I should have posted when I booked them, but I got lazy.

So, I'm posting exactly a week later.  I had an obsessive, compulsive disorder when it came to booking flights, literally checking websites everyday and then BAM.  Last Sunday they dropped down to $1100, so I purchased!!

I'm flying out on the 1 August at 1.40pm on Virgin Airways!  (Booked through delta because I want the frequent flyer miles)  and returning the 21st of January!!!  Yaya!

I've also decided that I will take all of July off, just to chill and get ready!  So I have just over three months of work to go!  Getting closer!!

In other news, my Police Check finally came back, so I sent that off and got confirmation without any issues.

We did get ANOTHER email from disney about proof of student status, but I've already sent off two so I'm not sure what to do and they haven't sent me any response back, so I'll just leave it till they reply.

I think thats about it that has been happening on the Disney front.  Almost 4 months till i start!! Ahh!!

Goal # 9

Goal # 9 - Create my own treat at Goofy's Candy Co.

T minus 140 Days!

So it's exactly 140 days until D Day!  It's getting super, super close and I have so much to do.


I'm still waiting for my Police check to come back from the feds, it's over two weeks now so hopefully it will come this week, otherwise I don't know what has happened to it.  They've taken the money out of the account though so hopefully soon!


Once everyone has sent their background checks to disney we will be sent our welcome/Visa packs, exciting!!  So hopefully mid April I will get this, because once I get this, I can book my visa interview which is the last thing I need to clear before it will be official that ill be working at Disney!  Yay!


Anyway the other thing I need to think about is booking flights.  I haven't booked yet, I may wait till after my Visa has been approved because I still have no idea when I want to come home or when I need to come home.


I've been applying for graduate jobs which is exhausting but would be ideal to get, as I would start in Jan/Feb 2013, so I would basically come back from Disney with a job lined up.  But if I did get one I need to know when I'm needing to come home.  So the flights are taking a back seat.


So apart from applying for grad jobs and thinking about Disney I've just been working.  One 10 hour shift on a Sat is like a week at Disney, so I shouldn't complaint too much.  Oh and I'm now fairly sure I'll quit work at the end of June so I get a chance to relax and get organised which means I've only got 3.5 months of work left!!  or 14 weeks!  I got this.


I think this could be my most disjointed blog post thus far,  so hope it makes sense.

T Minus 145 Days + A Background Check

I've been meaning to write a long story for a while, but I can never really be bothered.  It's not looking good for regular updates when in Disney.

So I sent my police check off two thursdays ago, hopefully I'll get it back soon otherwise I'm probably a criminal.   Yup.

For those playing at home it was $45 and you need to pay by cheque or money order (which is apparently some fancy thing you get from the post office)  so I got out my parents cheque book.  Excellent.

Thats it for today or this will never get posted.

Goal # 8 - (Trump Card )

If I achieve this goal, none of the others matter.


Dine at Club33.  


This will be practically impossible considering you need to be a member, there is a wait list of over 14 years, and they actually closed the wait list.  


If I do this, I'm awesome.
