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

June 4th, 2013 (Part 2) - Finishing Off the Trip with Via Napoli!

Then we walked through main street, sang a long a bit with DAWM, and then used our Space Mountain fastpasses! WOOHOO it was so much fun!!

After that, Alicia and Nat went back to the room to freshen up for dinner. I decided to just head over to Epcot and meet up with Maggie and Kristen there!

We walked through the World Showcase countries and went in the gift shop in France. I found this very interesting Marie stuffed animal with an exceptionally long tail. I was confused.

Alicia and Nat were late for dinner because their bus took FOREVER, but that's okay because they still sat us. Our waiter's name was Guido. And our water boy (I forget his name) was AWESOME. He was very flamboyant, very italian, and very eager to always fill our water. I liked that guy!

There was a hidden mickey in our olive oil! YAY DISNEY.

I got pepperoni pizza for dinner and pistachio gelato! Noms!

Everyone else’s food:

Cheese Pizza:

Spaghetti and Meatballs:

Seafood Linguini:

Desserts!

Ugly But Good:

Tiramasu:

After that we walked outside in the rain and watched the remainder of IllumiNations! We also stopped in France and Alicia used one of her snack credits to get an eclair!

Sigh. Rain.

It was EMH in Epcot that night so we went into Future World and did a few things before we left. We went on Nemo first and then stopped in The Land. A few of the girls used their snack credits at Sunshine Seasons. Then we went on Living with the Land, and finished the night off on Spaceship Earth.

We took some random non-disney bus back to AoA, and then I ended up falling asleep right when I got back.

I'm so afraid now I'm going to comment again while you are trying to post an update lol But what a whirlwind of a last day you had! Sorry to hear about the rain, but I mean you got to see Pooh AND Tigger walking around with umbrellas. I agree, I've not seen anything more precious in my life.

Once again, Be Our Guest looks exceptionally delicious! And my inner Italian is screaming at me while I look at all the Via Napoli food. I want me some PIZZA!!!!!!!!!! And yay for flamboyant italians! They are the best. Just flamboyancy in general

Love how you guys wore the Frump shirts on that second-to-last day and the last day with Vick! So cool.

Can't wait to read about the last morning of the Frump trip!

June 1st, 2013 (Part 3) - THE PRINCESSES!!!

After that I went straight home because I knew I had to get up early the next day. So I was in bed by midnight! Good night!

​

This picture is AMAZING!!! The luck and relationships that you and your friends build with the characters is fantastic. I am so jealous! I love reading about them!

I had to laugh at the Star Wars comment! My older brother always liked Star Wars but I couldn't understand it... Flash forward to 2006 and I had to watch episode 4 for a business class in college.. Lets just say I watched 5 & 6 the next day. Sooooo Good

 

[cruisecrasher]

What.

Wait.

You haven't watched Star Wars???

 

[Disneymom77]

Awesome updates! Seeing your awesome dinner experience at Cindy's Table make me want to take my girls back there for dinner. The last time we were there they were 3 and 6. They're 11 and 8 now, so I think we're due to go back!

Haha! Yes! DD is a fan of Marie, and we were also confused by this one with the long tail. Maybe you're supposed to use it as a feather boa?

 

[DisneyOBSESSEDMommy]

That is so awesome you girls were able to get a group photo!!!! Love it!! Such a magical trip

 

[missx0xdelaney]

Ahh I love the Hidden Mickey dress you have on in the last update! I just got that one last month! Is it not the most comfy and flattering dress you've ever worn? Lol. I'm pretty sure it's my favorite that I own.

The princess frump group photo- best. ever. Hands down! I just can't, speechless.

I love the dress you are wearing the weird long tailed Marie picture, lol. I want it!!!!

 

[sue_88]

The carousel photos turned out very nice. And the group pic of the princesses when you were at the castle is so good. Everyone has very genuine smiles showing just how happy and magical you experience was.
And I'm glad you showed the braised pork from BOG. If they still have that choice when I go, I will want to try that. I hope I have as much luck getting in there for lunch.
I am wondering how early I would need to get in line at BOG for lunch. What time do people start the que?
I love all the updates and don't want to miss a minute of the whole story, but I am so anxious to hear what is actually happening NOW. With your new apartment, and school, and possibly working at Disney, etc...
Thank you for inspiring so much Disney Daydreaming! Have a great week!

 

[Enchantress01]

Such exciting updates Jess!

You know you're amazing when the princesses ask YOU for a photo! It came out just beautiful. I can just feel how much fun you all were having from the smiles on your faces.

As for Marie, I thought that was one of those things you put in front of the door to stop the drafts.

 

[Carable]

I'm loving these Frump updates, you girls look so happy! Nothing like being at the happiest place on earth with your favorite people, is there? Thanks for taking the time to keep writing about your CP, it is addicting.

 

[Millie12591]

Moving and starting school are very good reasons to be missing in action!!

I hope all went smoothly for your move, I'm sorta shocked you moved there this soon, but not really.

Hope you love your new school. Will you be working at Disney while you go to school? I tried to come in to meet you in person when my daughter and I were there in May, but I never did catch you on shift.

Thank you for the wonderful updates, I know how crazy your life must be right now with the move and school starting, I truly appreciate you taking the time to finish this TR.

 

[Joanna71985]

I love that you got a group picture with all the princesses at CRT! What a great experience

 

[TheMaxRebo]

that's great that the princesses came back for a group shot - what a great memory!

The Application Process
September - October 2012

The Disney College Program application process is an adventure in itself. I wrote a few tumblr posts about it, so I thought I would share them to give you all the appropriate background information.

September 21st, 2012:


Ahh looking back on that now it's funny because my friend Sean is the one who got me to apply! He was accepted for lifeguard but he unfortunately denied the offer. Thankfully Mark was able to apply (obviously) and now we are moving to Disney World TODAY.

October 1st, 2012

So about 4 days later, my Mom and I were headed down to WDW for Columbus Day weekend. You can read about that trip HERE.

On the very last day of our vacation and exactly ONE WEEK after my phone interview, I was accepted for my Disney College Program!

October 8th, 2012:

I love looking back at your posts and seeing you predict the future! Between your friend Ryan giving you advice and your mom saying once you go down your staying! Congrats Jess! Enjoy every moment and thank you for sharing with us all!

 

[Disneydude97]

I posted on twitter:
Fant continues to be my favorite thing of all time.

​

I've seen Fantasmic! before, and Jess, I must say that you are pretty lucky. Why? Because for that show's finale, you caught glimpses of two characters that rarely appear on that boat: Tiana and Robin Hood! I mean, just SEEING Robin Hood is just awesome!

Keep up the good work on this trip report!

 

[Mrs Eeyore]

Great updates, Jess! DD15 and I are living vicariously here and wondering how one gets lucky enough to have a life like yours. You must have had some great karma in the bank! Keep sharing the joy!

 

[MissPrice]

Great updates Jess. You girls look like you have so much fun together. Your food pics are amazing. I am so looking forward to trying BOG for lunch in October. Couldn't get a dinner ADR though Yay for nurse Vicki for taking care of Kristin!! Looking forward to next updates. -Amanda
