22 Days.

Only 23 days to go!  Without work or anything though it still seems kind of far away.  Although people from our little Disney group are starting to leave now, so I'm sure time will start to speed right along!  Almost in to the teens!!  We have come along way for the 200+ days.  I'm not even going to be there for 200 days.  Thats a scary thought.  It's actually 198 days until I am back!

The only things left are paying for Travel Insurance and converting to US $$$ but I think I'm too scared to bite the bullet.  Today might just be the day!.  I think I'm going to go with 1 Cover, considering I'm already doubling up on the Disney Insurance. 

There's really not much else going on, but I feel like I haven't updated in forever!

45 Days!!!

I have been terribly slack in posting anything so I'm guessing by the time I get to Disney this blog will be all but extinct.

Anyway, I was going to post a few weeks back (but got lazy) because I met up with some lovely Sydney Disney people!  We went to pancakes on the rocks and proceeded to have desert before enjoying the vivid festival!  Everyone is super lovely and we never really ran out of things to talk about!  I'm sure I will appreciate knowing  a few faces and not just facebook faces when the nerves kick in!

Speaking of nerves, so far they don't exist - which is good.  I think its still that nice distance away that its still a nice surreal sort of dream but close enough to be exciting.  Once it gets to the packing stage things might change.  I'm at the sorting stage currently, today I went through my wardrobe and tossed out an entire garbage bag of clothes and got my coat hangers in order.  Making room for all the additional american clothing purchases.

I've also decided in purchasing  a new suitcase.  Mines big, but I want a huge one to fit everything I want to bring home.

Hmm apart from that Visa interview is on Wednesday - so it will be nice to get that sorted and thats about it!!


p.s. still no Telstra contract.  rage.

T Minus 167 Days

5.5 months to go!  So I decided to post a pic because I was too lazy to fill you in on whats been happening on the Disney front.  Then I decided, why not it's been a while since I wrote anything decent, so here goes.

I finally found out my pay rate for doing casual work at Intellectual Disability Council - I was expecting it to be around the $15 mark being non profit and what not.  Turns out its basically four times as much as I will make an hour at Disney!  Woohoo!  So the savings going well, I was worried for a while there but it seems like it will all go to schedule.


Then this week I started my internship at the Starlight Foundation, basically working on getting sponsorship and donations for their biggest national event which is actually really cool.  I was worried it was totally out of my depth but I think I might do alright at it.  Only time will tell.  Everyone there is really nice and on my first day I had a welcome sign with glitter stars sprinkled everywhere, was super cute and everyone was really welcoming.


Oh and Spanish is going OK.  It's hard and I really haven't had time to practice but I'm learning a lot which is good.




OK now onto the Disney stuff!






I got an e-mail, I got an e-mail!  Yayy, only four days after everyone else when I emailed them asking why it hadn't arrived yet, but still I got it.  


It mostly talks about getting our police checks done asap as well as medical insurance which is terribly confusing and I have no idea what it covers because it seems to be only $100 which would be a huge cost saver and I think I would now be set to cover all my expenses and money for Disney!  Yay,  anything I earn now will just be a bonus!


I'll try to keep you updated.  Not a lot has really been going on though.


Lots of love..




Ohh p.s.   Follow my blog, comment, ask a question.  I get bored and want attention.

Goal # 2

Goal # 2 -  Enter the Cinderella's Castle Suite.   Bonus points if I actually stay there.

22 January 2012

Hello,

I've been stalking a lot of the January 2012 Disney starters blogs and  there is one hugely apparent trend, that being, they have no time to update/write.  So I've decided I'm going to update once a week on anything thats been going on.  Lately, there hasn't been much at all, so this week I decided to post one of my favourite songs (that pretty much won me a trip to Fiji last year, but that's another story) who teamed up with Disney to do a remix of some sort.  

I think I need a theme song for my Disney adventure, if anyone has any idea's post them below :)
