DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM - A Spring 2013 Adventure! *COMPLETE* 11/20

[Djjsperry]

Jess,

I have been reading ALL your trip reports over the last several months and have throughly enjoyed them. I am so sad I have read your last page of your current one. I will keep checking back for updates. I definitely am a Disney Frump, I'm so excited to tell you I am making my 6th visit to WDW, after my first Disney Cruise in May. I have been counting down for 11 months we are now at 3 months 13 days. We are staying at Beach Club Villas Yeah!! Don't worry if you don't have time to reply I know you are busy with your internship, I am excited for you. What an adventure!

Love your Meredith story! You are doing so great, like we knew you would! I am so glad that you got recognition for being such a great CM, especially on your first day solo! Keep making the magic! Hope you have a great time with your mom visiting!!

I began working and my FSA asked if I was done with training. I told her yes and she was like "YOU'RE ONE OF US NOW! Take that red ribbon off!" So as far as Front Desk.... I EARNED MY EARS!

Jealous.... When I was a CP I didn't get to experience this. I drove a tram and they didn't want guests to know that someone on the first day was driving a tram so we never wore them.

Congrats on your first non-training day and the GSF, but you should probably blur out that CM's last name and signature.

Jess, you have a wonderful gift for writing. I am impressed by your ability to pack so much emotion onto the page. You have made me laugh out loud and brought tears to my eyes. What you are producing here is not merely a trip report, but the beginnings of a book. I firmly believe that there is such a thing as the "writing gene" and you have it. May it serve you well for the rest of your life.

It's a fairly obvious fact that the best Cast Members are the the people with a passion for Disney. I thank God that there are such people and that you are in that group. Bless you for your attitude, commitment and enthusiasm. It's as if you were the template for the perfect Cast Member as Walt Disney envisioned them. I tip my hat to you for a job so well done.

Keep on dreaming as dreamers do.

Congratulations on earning your ears! It's so much easier to jump in and handle the job hands on. Have fun creating magic moments for unsuspecting families.

I totally agree with this.

 

[CluelessDisFan]

I totally agree with this.

I second, third, or maybe even fourth that thought. You are so inspiring. I want to do trip reports because I think they are great way to keep track of the great memories, more detail than just a picture. However, I get stuck on the title.

Can't wait to hear about the next few months as the first one and half has been fun and eventful to read about!

 

[lyssabrittany]

Hi Jess, I just started reading your trip report and wow!! Your energy and enthusiasm is infectious. I've been umming and ahhing about doing the International Program for a while now but your trip report has inspired me to go for it! My sister went for a while in 2012 but was termed (long story short, she was back stabbed by her room mate and housing don't ask any questions, so no chance to tell her side). She had fun and now you've made it sound even better. I can't wait to read along.

 

[LuvindisCruiser]

Omg !

I don't think anyone's reports choke me up as much as yours ! You so totally get the magic, of Disney ! I love that !

What you did for that little girl was a lifetime memory, if not for her, but for her parents ! And, I can bet they will always think of Disney as a magical place cuz of the awesome CM, that took such great care of them !

I guarantee you will get many more recognitions !

I have a question for you, since you've stayed at practically all Disney Resorts . I was thinking I read on one of your TR that the Yacht & Beach Clubs were walking distance to both Epcot and DHS? Is this correct or did I dream this up?? I hoping for a trip down for the Flower & Garden and hoping for a resort that is walking distance to both!

Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to update the DIS and keep all of us living vicariously through you!

Yup they're walking distance to both! Good luck finding availability - it's tricky but maybe you'll find a room!
You're welcome!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us. I'm coming down for the princess half next weekend and reading this makes me so excited about going!

 

[hutch0830]

I love love LOVE reading your updates! Your story about the little princess was the best! It reminded me of our trip to OKW - the person at the front desk gave my kids balloon flowers.

 

[Aburns8]

Loving the report. I didn't do much at work today since I was catching up. Subbing in!

[DisneyOBSESSEDMommy]

Thank you for the response!! I'm hoping

 

[Alice Royal]

I've read a few of your TRs, but this is my first time coming out to say how awesome they are! I'm currently a senior in high school about to move to Orlando so I can pursue my dream of working for WDW. I'm definitely going to do the CP at some point, so this thread is wonderful to read!

 

[Mariannekay]

Good luck with your audition tomorrow Jess! Can't wait to find out how it goes!
