T Minus 180 Days

So yesterday was officially six months until D Day!  


Although nothing really on the D front has happened.  I guess at the moment I'm just in the process of looking at flights, although I pretty much know I'm going to Fly Delta or code share V Australia to get my  frequent flyer points up.


Other stuff that needs to be done over the next few months is:

• Visa Paperwork
• Visa Interview
• Medical Insurance
• I'm sure a thousand other things that I can't remember.

Seeing as I have nothing to talk about, I figured those of you not in the Disney Know may like to know more about some of the basics.


Oh I really suck at posting this is like the tenth time I have come back to this and I can't figure out what to write.


I wish Disney would email me!  I think I gots to wait til April before we get anymore info.


I'll just treat this as a Diary.








Dear Diary,


This week I started Spanish Lessons.


This week I got an internship with Starlight Foundation.


This week I started casual work where I interned last year.


This week my work decided to give me 5 shifts.


The end.












Last weeks entry would have gone like this....


Dear Diary.


This week I had one shift.


The end.








I'm getting whiplash.  










Oh I'll catch you up to speed on the housing in my next post.  Whatevs.

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 :)

T Minus 200 Days!

Til D Day!!


As one of my fellow cast members posted on our cute little Disney Aus/NZ Facebook group, it is 200 days to go! Ahh cue screaming.  Although its weird being in America and starting to look at things like flights back to America.  Odd.  I have one week left here so once I get back I can start getting organised.  Although, Disney have said not to do anything till April when we can start submitting visa forms etc.   


I'm fairly flexible with when I want leave, as I don't think I'll arrive in the US too much earlier, I'd prefer just to get over the jet lag and start, but I could be persuaded to detour via NYC.  So with that in mind I'll just wait till around April to book flights, V Australia tend to have their sale flights around three months before the date.   I think I'll also just book the return ticket for a late date in January, but that will depend on if I get a grad job or not.  either way, Im thinking I'll leave around the 25th of Jan.


Oh yeah, that is me >>>
In case you were dying to know.
