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

[JessicaFaye508]

Hi Jess! Really enjoy reading your updates, eagerly awaiting the next instalment!

Just a quick question! I know you already mentioned about your twitter randomly blocking people, well it has done the same to me; all of a sudden it has kicked me off your followers list and won't let me submit a new follow request because I am "blocked" !

I'm gutted, your Disney tweets were really brightening up my day lol! As someone else said, we are all living vicariously through you lol and love hearing about what you are up to during the CP!

Any chance you could try setting your profile to public instead of locked, maybe that would solve the problem for people who can't see your tweets any more!?

Best wishes!
Rebecca

Because I'm working and living here, it not safe for me to make my twitter public. You can keep trying to get it to work. I'm sorry you're having problems with it.. I have no idea how to fix it.

You're probably better off. I'm a long-time lurker -- love the frump threads -- and I didn't want to say anything to discourage you from the audition process before, but I'm willing to bet that your concierge role will serve you better in a future career with Disney. You'll gain exposure to much more of the business from an operations standpoint than you would if you were performing in a live show, posing for pictures, signing autographs, or waving from parade floats.

That doesn't mean I still don't want to do it. Ill still audition and everything. But having concierge experience under my belt will definitely be beneficial, I agree!

That's okay, no worries! Thanks for the reply

Will you accept followers?? I signed up on Twitter because everyone are talking about your tweeds. We don't use Twitter in Denmark so I'm way behind ;-) My username is stepher83, if you want to accept me.

Can't wait to hear how your week with your Mom went!!!

I just caught up. I was at Disney the 9th too and didn't make it to the Magic Kingdom until about 4, and it was packed! We had a BOG reservation for 7 and after about 10, the park really calmed down. We didn't leave until midnight, and when we were walking out, there really weren't many other people around - maybe the cold drove them all home early.

That experience with the not-princess Meredith sounds adorable! I'm sure you'll get many more GSF (is that the right acronym?) cards. Hope you're having a great time with your family!

February 11th, 2013 - Mom, Nana, and Dea Arrive!

Today was an exciting day! I knew Mom, Nana, and Dea were coming in this night so I only had to survive work, running errands, and pack until I got to go the Beach Club!

Here's a picture of Nana and Dea at the airport that my Mom sent me! They couldn't wait to get to sunny Florida!

I worked in the morning and then Lindsay and I ran some errands in the afternoon. We went back to the apartment and I cleaned/packed. Then Mark came back from work and we headed over to the Beach Club!

My family was on Magical Express so we checked in with a woman named Jessica. We went through the process and at the end I asked if they had any balloons so I could put them in the room for when everyone arrived. So she went in the back and got us three balloons AND a Tigger stuffed animal! That was so nice of her. She really went the extra mile!

Mark and I went up to the room and we put the balloons on the table. Then we heard a knock on the door and Mom, Nana, and Dea were there! It was so exciting! I had to do my obligatory photoshoot of the room:

This couch pulled out into a bed:

We had a beautiful one bedroom villa!

Towel Mickey! As well as some ADORABLE details in the comforter!

We put our stuff in the room and then went down to Beaches and Cream for dinner. It was around 9 oclock and we had about a 30-40 minute wait. Eventually we were called and seated in a booth.

Mom, Nana, Dea, and I all got delicious hot dogs:

And Mark got a Turkey Club:

For dessert I got a Strawberry Milkshake, which has become my Beaches and Cream favorite!

Mark got a Chocolate Milkshake:

Mom got Butter Pecan with a cone:

And Nana got Orange Sherbet.

Throughout dinner Mark and I caught everybody up on the happenings at Disney. There is a lot of fun to be had here!

We finished eating and then left the restaurant. Mark caught the bus back to the apartments and the rest of us went in the gift shop.

I also looked in the pin book and I found THE LITTLE TOWN BELLE PIN FROM THE NEW FANTASYLAND MYSTERY PACK!!!! Thats the one that I wanted SO bad and I couldnt believe that it was sitting there waiting for me. It couldnt have been more perfect.

Then we went up to the room and crashed because everyone was exhausted!

OMG, those milkshakes look soooo good! I definitely need to eat at Beaches and Cream when I go!

I want to see your collection of pins! They are pretty addicting.

February 12th, 2013 (Part 1) - Beach Club Photo Shoot!

This morning, Mom, Nana, and Dea got up and went to the Magic Kingdom! I, on the other hand, had a crazy day ahead of me.

I went to work at 9:30 am and then I had class at 1 pm! After class I parked at the Beach Club and walked into Epcot from there. Mom, Nana, and Dea were still in Future World going on attractions, so I took my time moseying on over and taking lots of pictures:

I LOVE THE VILLAS. The color of this building is so pretty!!

The sky was also very cool tonight.

MY FAVORITE PART OF THE DVC BUILDING AT THE BEACH CLUB. I claim this as my room. Seriously. I'm so in love.

I LOVE that Ariel is right in front of the DVC building. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Let us take a moment to appreciate how even the Beach Club had their Valentine's Day flowers blooming!

Now approaching the main building:

THIS SKY.

More beautiful beauty...

YACHT CLUB, MY LOVE! WE HAVE BEEN REUNITED AGAIN!

I was just loving on the flowers tonight:

I LOVE LIVING IN FLORIDA.

I posted on twitter:
I'm in love with my life. There's just no other way to describe it. #happy

Okay so FINALLY I made it to Epcot. I walked around the shops in international gateway while everyone made their way over.

Then it was off to Italy for dinner!

My Nana and my Mom are 100% Italian so I thought it would be fun to eat in here for dinner tonight!

I have that sweatshirt that your nana is wearing! Maybe I missed it, but how come you only have 2 days left with the 40%?

February 12th, 2013 (Part 2) - Tutto Italia

I have never been to Tutto Italia, so that was the chosen restaurant of the night.

Our server was WONDERFUL! Her name was Valentina and she was one of the sweetest women I have ever met. She came over to do her ICP and then she met her husband here, so now 5 years later she is still working with the company! She took fantastic care of us and even got the chef to come out (because my Nana cant eat Gluten or dairy.) Overall we had an incredible experience with her and I have to say she was one of the best waitresses we have had in a very long time! Plus her Italian accent was adorable!

Very excited!

They started off with this INCREDIBLE bread and olive oil. It was so soft and I absolutely loved it! HOW DOES DISNEY ALWAYS HAVE SUCH GOOD BREAD!?!?!

Now onto the entrees! I got Spaghetti and Meatballs, which was DELICIOUS. I was starving so that hit the spot! Dea also got the kids sized spaghetti.

Mom got Tonnarelli, which had homemade pasta with zucchini, mint, and basil pesto. She loved it! She really likes her vegetables so she enjoyed that strong hint of zucchini.

Nana got the Filetto Di Sogliola, which was the steak. She specifically told me to give it a very good report back to you all because she loved it! She ate every bite!

Then we decided to get a little dessert, too. Mom and I split the Lemon Cheesecake with Strawberries, which was AMAZING. It was so light and sweet and had a wonderful flavor.

Nana and Dea both got fresh fruit for dessert!

We left Tutto Italia very happy! That was a great place to eat after their first day in the parks! We headed over to Future World and Nana saw the Mexico Pavilion and wanted to go on the boat ride. So we did!

After that we went to MouseGear! Then we walked back to the Beach Club stopping at a few stores along the way. Once we got back to the resort, Mom, Nana, and Dea went up to the room and I went to the Yacht Club to explore a little bit!

I sat in my favorite cozy room in the Beach Club Villas building for quite a while while I talked on the phone. Then it was almost 11 pm so I headed up to the room. I had to get up early the next day so I went right to sleep!

So I am now reading all your other trip reports and I love them. They are keeping me busy until my trip in 2 months. I'm glad you are getting to live out your dream. Thanks for letting us all live vicariously thru you.

Seeing Beach Club makes me so happy. That's awesome that you were able to enjoy such an awesome discount, too... and even better when you spot a pin you love!

You must be so thrilled about Preston visiting soon! I'm really excited to see what he thinks of everything... aaand you guys I'm sure will be adorable in your I'll be your Mickey/Minnie t-shirts.
