Michigan people!!!

[Disney_Princess_89]

HI GUYS!!:goodvibes
Just thought I would create a thread for all of the Michiganders out there since there seems to be quite a few of us- I want to see how many of us there are!! :cool1::rotfl:

[DisneyAngie]

I'm a Michigander! :cool1:

[TheBeckyZone]

I'm from Michigan too!

[figment427]

I'm also from Michigan!

[QueenofPrideRock]

I'm a Chicagoan who goes to school in Michigan, does that count?

[DisneyAngie]

I'm a Chicagoan who goes to school in Michigan, does that count?

You'll be here for winter, so yeah, that counts. :goodvibes

Not that Chicago winters are drastically different.... :thumbsup2

[Spaceship Earthfan]

I'm from Michigan! :thumbsup2 Worked & went to school in the city (Detroit) but live just north of there now.

[wannabefreeee]

Yay for the Mitten state :yay:

I got to eastern michigan university. What colleges/universities does everyone attend?

And also, who plans on driving down? I know I'm flying for sure. That 16 hour drive isn't easy I've heard! Although, I kind of want to experience driving so far south. Who knows...

I recieved my thank you email. Now only 4-6 weeks left, but HOPEFULLY SOONER :littleangel:

[QueenofPrideRock]

I've heard Michigan's are similar in temperature but snowier (or at least they are in Kalamazoo).

[Jelliebean]

WOOO Michigan!!

And since this is a Michigan thread, and there is a game tonight.. LETS GO WINGS! :)

[sarab.]

Michigan Here!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QueenofPrideRock]

WOOO Michigan!!

And since this is a Michigan thread, and there is a game tonight.. LETS GO WINGS! :)

The Central/Western game is on my bday! :scared1:

[Disney_Princess_89]

Wow so many people already!!! Sweet!!:woohoo:
I will be driving down there- the drive isn't bad at all- my bf and I plan on leaving around 5 or 6 in the evening and just driving all night- smooth sailing and no traffic- he's done it once already.
I flew down for my first CP but drove back up and it was pretty awesome going through the mountains!! :cloud9:
Oh and I go to Schoolcraft in Livonia :rotfl:


WOOO Michigan!!

And since this is a Michigan thread, and there is a game tonight.. LETS GO WINGS! :)
I wish I could watch!! GO WINGS!!!!!:yay:

[dkmulder]

Another Michigander! I live in Muskegon and go to Grand Valley. I am a CP alumni and hoping for a PI, but we'll see. I'd really like to get out of here before the snow accumulates:rolleyes:

[DisneyAngie]

I've heard Michigan's are similar in temperature but snowier (or at least they are in Kalamazoo).

I've actually heard that Chicago's are colder, but that's based on what people have told me, not actual facts. In Kalamazoo, you're probably going to get some lake effect snow. We get snow on over here on the eastern side of the state as well (it probably snowed 5-6" 3-4 times last year, plus a whole bunch of 2-3" days), and there's a ton of it as you get further north (especially the UP). I'm just glad I don't have to drive in it this year :cool2:

For those thinking about driving... driving through the Smokey Mountains is really pretty. But you'll also spend a LOT of time driving through Ohio, in which there is nothing to look at. We used to drive to WDW, and I remember that the first half (we spent two days driving; after one, we'd be in Kentucky/Tenn.) seemed to drag, and the second half flew by (probably 'cause I knew we were getting really close!)

[PebblesMK]

Where are the yoopers at?

[Disney_Princess_89]

Where are the yoopers at?

Yoopers???

[Spaceship Earthfan]

Anyone else turn off the Wings game after the second period tonight? lol.

[Disney_Princess_89]

Oh man, did they lose? :sad1:

[Jelliebean]

MM HMM. Pathetic! It was sad to see after the effectively shut down Ovechkin in Saturday's game. LAME, Wings. (We lost 6-2).

Yoopers! As in people from the Upper Peninsula.. UP'ers... Yoopers!

[Disney_Princess_89]

Ugh that sucks!! :headache: i'm so disappointed...:sad2:

Ahh! gotcha lol :rotfl:

[Jelliebean]

Ugh that sucks!! :headache: i'm so disappointed...:sad2:


Yeah. It was pretty pathetic. We'll see how they do Thursday against the Kings.

So, my laptop died (after 6 years, boo), and now I feel like I HAVE to drive down to Disney, so I can bring my desktop. I had wanted to drive anyway because I just feel like it'd be easier to move stuff there that way, BUT, I really don't think I can keep my car down there (can't afford it), AND, nobody wants to drive with me. So, now I am not sure what to do!

[GiAnnie]

Where are the yoopers at?

I would like to think of myself as an honorary yooper. Both my parents are from the UP originally, still have family there, and I used to spend my summers there!

Ugh that sucks!! want to buy mine? :lmao: i've been wanting to get a macbook because of software and graphics- Mine is in excellent condition- nothing is wrong with it- only got it 2 years ago and it has been treated with extreme care... :confused3

[NotSoLittleAviator]

I live in South Lyon, MI but work and play in Livonia. Gotta love those Wings. I love how everyone is freaking out already because they havn't had the best start. ITS OK EVERYONE! THEY'RE THE DETROIT RED WINGS!

Anyways, Driving to and from WDW is awsome! :rotfl: The sceneary is amazing if you go through the mountians. I love driving to begin with so I do have that going for me.;) If you can't stand the 20 minute drive to work every morning youre not going to like a 16 hour drive to Florida. For those who are driving I would suggest driving at night.:thumbsup2 As DisneyPrincess89 said we will leave at night, im thinking about 8 pm and drive through the night getting us there around 12 noon the next day. I find this the best way because not only do you miss rush hour there are very few people on the roads that time of the night/ morning. Something to consider. :confused3

Are you planning on driving straight through or stopping halfway? I've done both (never alone, though) and I'm not sure if I'd make it all the way without stopping overnight around Georgia or so.

[Disney_Princess_89]

We are thinking about driving straight through but playing it by ear- i'm not a long distance driver so we might have to stop halfway :laughing:

[Disney_Princess_89]

Anyone going to the Wings game on thursday?? I'll be there!! :cool1: Yay for 9 dollar tickets lol :rotfl:

[figment427]

I'm driving down too! I think the biggest problem is going to be the weather in January but the drive back will be nice and smooth.

[Jelliebean]

Are you planning on driving straight through or stopping halfway? I've done both (never alone, though) and I'm not sure if I'd make it all the way without stopping overnight around Georgia or so.

That is what I am worried about as well, making the drive alone. I'm so not a long distance driver if I am by myself.. eek!

Anyone going to the Wings game on thursday?? I'll be there!! :cool1: Yay for 9 dollar tickets lol :rotfl:

AHH! I was offered (FREE) tickets to Thursdays game AND Saturdays game and I can't go to either one because I have class on Thursday and have to babysit on Saturday. I'm big time bummed! Have fun at the game!!

Though, apparently, Datsyuk and Kronwall didn't skate at practice today because of injuries. YIKES!!

And, on a computer-y note.. I want a macbook as well.. My computer that died was an ibook and my desktop is an imac. Mac all the way!

[SyracuseWolvrine]

I'm a Michigander at heart ... was born in and lived the first 22 years of my life in Ann Arbor (although went to school in upstate ny).

The drive from MI to FL isn't too bad, except for that time that you have to spend in that state immediately south of Michigan. Took me about 22 hrs of driving the first time I did it (in a 24 foot rental truck), and about 19 the 2nd time (with my family)

There's a LOT of Michiganders working for WDW ... at one point, when I worked in Toontown, we had enough Michiganders to completely run the Barnstormer.

Ahh yes...I've heard that you have to be verrry careful watching your speed while driving through there.

[wannabefreeee]

Ahh yes...I've heard that you have to be verrry careful watching your speed while driving through there.

I accidently went 50 in a 35 in THAT state. And they got me :mad: Only a warning though! But still, you really gotta watch yourself. I still think I'm flying down there if I get it. But I'm nervous for check in and getting around for those first few days. I haven't been without a car since I turned 16! :confused3 Anyone need a riding partner maybe?? :rolleyes:

Today marks 7 days of waiting!! ahhhhh

[Jelliebean]

Anyone going to the Wings game on thursday?? I'll be there!! :cool1: Yay for 9 dollar tickets lol :rotfl:

I hope you had fun at the game.. You got to see Lids get his 1,000 point! How cool was that!?

[Disney_Princess_89]

Thanks Jellie!! It was AWESOME!!!! :woohoo::yay:
now we're waiting to get out of the parking garage haha we have not moved at all :sad2::rotfl:

[Jelliebean]

It always takes FOREVER to get out of there! We park at Hard Rock cafe now and take the shuttle over. If you go inside Hard Rock, they will validate your parking so it is free, and the shuttle over to the Joe is free as well. We got out of the game and home MUCH quicker this way!

[Ashbash]

Am from Detroit, Michigan

I didnt know that there was this many people from Michigan doing CP

[QueenofPrideRock]

Fun fact for ya: between the Central-Western game and Kalamazoo College's homecoming weekend, college students drank the town of Kalamazoo dry.:scared1:

Jimmy John's also ran out of bread.

I love K so far! :cool1: I've yet to discuss the WDWCP with my advisor, but with the emphasis on internships I'm only a lil worried...

Don't worry at all. I'm sure you'll be fine. I actually just talked with my advisor about it for the first time today, and it went way better than I was expecting. She was totally supportive and thought it sounded good and like I would be able to get credit for doing it one way or another. And she thought it would not prevent me from studying abroad at all. It was so not what I was expecting, but I'm glad it seems like it'll work out. I'm sure it'll go well for you too, with K's emphasis on experiential learning (studying abroad, internships, externships). Good luck!

[Solayedbacc]

I am also from Michigan, Currently I had my phone interview on 10/16. I am awaiting a response, I am really hoping for Transportation or Photography.

I wouldn't be surprised if I get put in Merchandise though

Yat! :goodvibes That's good because I seem to remember from another thread you were worried about being able to do both.

There are also at least 2 Kalamazoo students currently on the program, which is a good sign! :cloud9:

Yes, I was extremely worried. Pretty much I envisioned walking in and them laughing at me, so this is much better.

You should definitely be okay if there are currently students on the CP. It means someone there was willing to help make it happen!

Another Michigander! I live in Muskegon and go to Grand Valley. I am a CP alumni and hoping for a PI, but we'll see. I'd really like to get out of here before the snow accumulates:rolleyes:


I live in Muskegon too!! But I go to MSU.

I'm planning on driving down. My dad might be coming with me, but if he can't, hopefully my bf can come. I'd much rather have a car with me (I'm 20 and FINALLY got one in august), even if I don't use it much. I just got accepted to attractions the other day, and I'm crossing my fingers that my interviewer was able to get me into AK.

[VillageMama]

Hello, fellow Michiganders! :yay:

We are in Manchester, which is a small village southwest of Ann Arbor. We drive down to Florida because plane tickets are just too costly with this many people.

To us, it's Georgia that seems to drag on and on. God bless Tennessee for being such a narrow state! It's a morale boost to get through an entire state so quickly.

It's beautiful here right now. Lots of pretty leaves on the trees... although they are rapidly falling off from this rain.

I hope that everyone has safe travels! :drive:

it seems like Ohio and Georgia are the only states that are the worst to drive through because in Ohio, people just don't know how to drive :headache: and in Georgia, you're out of the mountains so there's not much to look at :bored: - and both states take so long to get through...:sad2:

[Ashzx89]

Hey Everyone,
I'm from Michigan too! I'm originally from the east side of the state (Detroit area) but I go to school at Grand Valley! It's crazy to see so many people from MI going down the for CP

You never know- my bf drove his car down last time and we didn't think it was going to make it since it was really old and stalled all the time, but it didn't give us a problem at all- made it all the way there, drove it every day, and made it all the way back :)

[Spaceship Earthfan]

Well, I decided to move down to FL early! Staying with family right now.

The drive down was great...it took me only 18 hours to get from Detroit to Orlando. I left home around 3:00am and had planned to stop around the middle of Georgia...but it was only 4:00pm by the time I got there so I just kept going. So, just a tip for anyone driving...get to bed early the day before the drive and leave in the middle of the night if you can...you'll beat the early morning metro-Detroit traffic and, if traffic is pretty light, you'll miss the downtown Atlanta traffic. I was shocked that I was able to get to Orlando around 9-10 pm.

Lucky!! I wish I could go down there now :rotfl:

That's basically what my bf did when i did my last cp- he left around 6 or 7 pm, drove all night and got to Orlando around 4 or 5 pm the next day- so that's what we are planning on doing in january too.

[RyanL10]

I'll be driving also... but it's definitely going to take me more than 18 hours.. more like a week! I'll be stopping in columbus OH, Lexington KY, Atlanta GA and another city in Florida when I make it there. Got to visit the friends and family!

Make that a couple more stops in Detroit and Toledo now. Looks like I'll be leaving 2 weeks in advance.. roadtrip by myself! Unless anyone wants to ride along...:goodvibes

I would have been down for that actually. But I bought a plane ticket :confused3 I really wanted to do the whole road trip down there to get pumped, but I'm nervous about my car. Are you going to miss Christmas?? I also knew a couple of people who worked at CP this past summer and am considering it a bit :rolleyes:

[OpsMatt]

I'm from Michigan as well. Doing a management internship and I start on January 14th but I wanna get there about 10 days early to move in and get settled so I don't feel rushed. I'm set to move into my new place on the 4th so I'm planning on leaving on the 2nd or 3rd. I should be able to get to Macon, GA in one day from where I live (near Ann Arbor) and then get to Kissimmee the next day.

Ah I actually don't start until February 1st, because I just recently applied and got accepted and that was the only day available. Cedar Point was amazing! But I'm pretty sure Disney will make CP look like the ghetto as far as housing or whatever.. but wait it's already like that!

I actually used to work at CP in 2005 and 2006 in rides. I left at the end of my contract to work for Disney in August '06 and now I fully plan on pursuing a career with Disney....if that tells you anything.

You worked at cedar point this last summer? I worked at Michigan's Adventure, which is much worse than CP, I've heard. (everyone I know seems to have LOVED CP, whereas MA wasn't that great.) I just considered it prepping for disney, haha

[igetamnesia]

hey, I'm from the Flint area but now I go to school in Ann Arbor. I'm going to apply for the fall 2010 program. Can't wait!

lol, so many Michigan people probably do the CP to escape at least part of the cold months. :cold: we're supposed to get about half a foot of snow here in the next couple days.

[wannabefreeee]

Which campus? U of M? Because I'm next door basically, at EMU and we NEVER shut down lol. All of my 5 years, not once.

Hope everyone is enjoying these 50mph winds :banana::scared1:

[OpsMatt]

Yeah, in the 3 years I've been at WMU, this is the only one that had a snow day that was relevant to me. They had one February of last year but it was a Friday when I didn't have class anyway.

This one actually benefited me because it got a final turned into a take-home open-book exam and some extra credit assignments due that day got bumped to next Monday.

[lilmissdisney216]

I'm from Michigan too!!!

[QueenofPrideRock]

it would be if i were there, lol. our break started officially dec 4, but i didn't have to take any finals so i've been home since thanksgiving!

[ktrex]

Hey michigan people, I'm driving from Muskegon, on the west side. I'm hoping I can find someone else who's going down for the 11th too? My dad won't be able to come with so convoying would be a good plan I think.

[Disney_Princess_89]

Who else thinks we got shafted with the snow? Here in livonia we only got about an inch :sad2:
I was hoping to see a good snow before we leave for Florida...

I know right! I was hoping to get a sledding session in before we go. And also I'm really hoping we all have safe flights/drives down there. January is a dangerous month! We can always go up north to ski/snowboard. Mt. Holly before I leave for sure!!:yay:
