How About Some Introductions?

[Pam N]

Oh I see, well its all good. I'll definitely talk to her tomorrow!!

I'm not sure if I introduced myself yet or not, but here it goes. My name is Brittany, but most people call me Britt. I'm 20 years old and I'm in my second year (but technically a freshman) in Montgomery County Community College. I'm waiting to hear from Disney to see if I was accepted to the Fall 2009 College Program (growing more anxious every day!). I love meeting new people, especially Disney fans, because they're the best!!

Ive been wondering who Ive been talking to! Since Tashi is at work right now, I will just say that I'll let her post tomorrow and introduce herself to you rather than me - her silly Mom!!! posting for her! But Im glad you introduced yourself and maybe you and Tashiana can meet up once you arrive-- she's doing Fall Advantage and will be there as of May 20th---wow! the time is almost here!

 

[Tashiana T]

Hi SpectroMagic125! Tashi is at work for the evening-- so that's the reason she's not responding. She is one busy gal! Im glad you replied to her very first post-- Thanks! And I know she'll write back tomorrow when she's not in class and doesnt have to work.

work doesnt keep me from meeting new disney friends! LOVE YOU MOM!

talk to you tomorrow!

I love how you said I can meet up with her even though I don't know if I got accepted. I gotta have that confidence, lol. But yeah, May 20th is definitely close. Doesn't give you much time to get everything ready! But its still very exciting!!

Britt, I dont know what the hec Im thinking! Lets put it this way--I will keep hoping and keep my fingers crossed that you DO get in. Think positive! When was it that you applied again?!!! Whatever you do, dont lose hope. Tashiana and I were losing hope-- yesterday we actually said at one point that it wasnt gonna happen-- then when she called me so early this morning to tell me the news I was soooo excited! Thats why-- be patient, because it was 6 weeks and a few days before she got an answer. I will wish the best of luck for you-- and like Kelly did for Tashi -- Im sending you a boatload of pixie dust!:

Well, I know I've introduced myself on this thread before, but that was way back in 2005, and I'm pretty sure nobody is reading through all 45 pages so ... here's a re-introduction.

I'm Eric, alumnus of Syracuse University, and fan-since-birth of the University of Michigan Wolverines. I did the CP back in 2004 (AK Main Entrance Ops), then went part time (AK Main Entrance Ops) until I heard from casting about a full time position (AK Kilimanjaro Safari). Drove around in circles and also learned how to drive a train around in circles for about a year and a half, then I moved to the then Disney-MGM Studios, where I watched things drive around in circles for about a year and a half, then I transferred again, and I'm now in the Magic Kingdom, where I can push a button and everyone on the ride spins in circles.

Along the way, I've met some great people, and gotten to take part in some really cool experiences. I've picked up way too much random Disney trivia, and am perfectly willing to share it (Ask anyone who's had a conversation with me for more than 3 minutes ... right Joanna?)

Hobbies include hockey (ice, please), photography, scuba diving, and music. Oh yeah, and theme parks.

That's right!

Hey every one... I'm Lauren... 20 years old and currently going to Arizona State University. I am completely obsessed with Disney and I am planning on applying for the Spring 2010 college program in California. Just wanted to say hi

 

[BabyPiglet]

Wow, I can't believe I haven't introduced myself yet!

My name is Jenn (Or Jenny/Jennifer -- I get called all 3 on a daily basis.) and I'm a freshman at University of Arkansas. I'm majoring in Psychology and (will be) minoring in Sociology. I hope to be a social worker for DCFS, or a child abuse investigator for the police.

Now, the good stuff, I have been obsessed with Disney ever since I can remember. My mom grew up right near Anaheim, and went to DLR practically ever weekend. My first trip to a Disney park was at a mere 18 months old to Disneyland. Apparently, I loved it!

Fast forward to 2000, which was my very first trip to WDW. I got the 'planning' bug then and have been a crazy trip planner ever since. Since then I've been on 5 more trips to WDW, most lasting over 10 days.

My most recent trip was this last December with just my mom. It was so amazing, and I'll cherish the memory of Christmas at Disney forever. The Osbourne Spectacle of Dancing Lights!? HOLY CRAP are those stunning and spectacular! (Also a plus, Osbourne started his lights in the city that I live in! My mom remembers driving by his house at Christmastime!)

Anywho, I adore Disney. I have over 20 Disney t-shirts, I swear. Lots of magnets, post cards, plushies, etc.

I think I started wanting to do the DCP back in 8th grade. I mean, come on! You get to live, work, and play at Disney for 4-7 months? I'm in! I will be applying for Fall Advantage 2010, and I have a huge role list I plan to check. My top 3 are definitely -- Hospitality/Concierge, Attractions, and Vacation Planner.

What am I most looking forward to? Definitely, definitely meeting all the new people. I know it sounds cliche, but I'm not going away for college, so this is going to be a great chance meet people from other sides of the US (and World).

I love to have fun! I'm not talking about wild parties necassarily, just go out with friends and have a good time. Lots of stuff can be included in this, like movie nights! Love movie nights.

Wow, I wrote an essay here. Well, now you know me!

[ilovejsparrow]

Hello there everyone! I'm Katie, I'm 21 and I'm from Niagara Falls, NY. I just got my first degree in Health and Human Services, and I start grad school in the fall to become a Physical Therapist.

I'm so jealous of all of you that are doing the Disney College Program. I ALWAYS wanted to, but with my major it never really worked out. I guess I'll just have to vacation there lots more to make up for it!

Nice meeting you all

 

[DisKate]

Hi everyone!

My name is Katie and I am currently a junior at Daemen College in Buffalo NY. I am 21 (almost 22) and my boyfriend and I are both hoping to do the CP in the fall.

I am a BS in Art major and will have minors in Graphic Design, Literature, and Business.

I have always loved all things Disney but it really became an obsession back in 2006 when Patrick's family took me for Thanksgiving. It was magical.

I didn't think that the CP would ever be a possibility for me because of my major (former Graphic Design, has a ton of sequential requirements) but now that I've switched, I'm really hoping that I get in. Patrick graduates in a couple of weeks, so this is his only shot.

My goal is to one day move to FLA (hate snow/Buffalo winters!) and work for the Mouse full time, though I have no idea what I really want to do

Any questions feel free to pm me!

~Katie

Hello everyone, my name is Courtney and I am 22 years old (almost 23 in 2 weeks and 5 days). I am working full time as a Claims Assistant in Worker's Compensation insurance, and I am also attending VC full time at night, well 3/4 full time. lol. I am going to school to become an RN, probably a trauma nurse to be exact. I also attend church every Friday and mostly some Sundays. I love the church that I am involved in!

I would like to someday take the Disney Cruise to the Carribean or somewhere. But, I am terrified of big boats! But I think I can get over my fear for that kind of trip! lol.

I love to travel when I can, which is not that often. I would like to someday back pack through Europe! That would be an ultimate dream of mine. I would like to spend at least 2 weeks in Italy! Ah, the dreams! lol!

 

[-Rockettower Plaza-]

Hey guys, I'm Maggie. I'm a 23 year old Eastern Kentucky University. My major is Comparative Humanities with an emphasis in Art History. I GRADUATE IN A WEEK! Yaaaaay!

I'm a Disney nerd who fell in love with a Disney nerd. ^_^ My husband and I had a Disney wedding over the summer! We're way excited about participating in the Fall '09 CP...and of course annihilating each others high scores in Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin.

My dream is to eventually work at one of the two Art of Disney locations, so I'll be going crazy with all the networking stuff once we get down to Florida. ^_^

I'm new to the DIS and excited to meet other Disney fans. So PM me...we'll talk about how utterly fabulous Mister Smee is. Haha.

Courtney,

Great to meet you! Italy is amazing. The water is so clean in Rome, you can fill your water bottle from the fountains! Be sure to check out the glassblowing demonstrations in Florence and take a boat out to Capri, which could be the most awesome place on earth. ^_^
