Well that’s a long story. Started as a civil engineering major. Currently journalism but trying to transfer into architecture. I like writing about Disney but not sure that’s career worthy. My dream job is imagineering.

There are signs and helpful CMs everywhere - I can totally see how it's overwhelming now but it'll be fine!

Thank you for this - I appreciate the encouragement!

You and me both

So I have race retreat with early expo to pick up Dopey bibs. Hubs opted to skip cheer squad and is only doing the "Daisy" challenge with the 5K and 10K. So it looks like we're going to be hitting everything at some point. I'll make sure he gets in line early for his bib pick up while I go on a shopping spree

I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling this way!

As a journalist with 10 years under my belt...do something else. You’ll thank me later.

Just have to get into architecture school first...

At Disney races recently my plan has been " run to the next character stop". My goal is to get a picture with every character that's out on the course when I go by

This!! This. Is. Why. I. Live. Ok, not actually why I live, that's exaggerating a little, but this is why I runDisney!

If you really want imagineering - architecture isn’t the route to go - mechanical, electrical or computer would be and do the college program to get your foot in the door.

<- engineer with friends that went that route

I know an architect in imagineering currently. I was civil engineering but at my current school I had many issues with that.

Imagineering is very broad and there are several routes. I plan on doing CP or a Disney professional internship.

The GFS weather model shows (on the model map below), a high of 79 degrees at 1:00 PM on Saturday, January 6th. I noticed on the precip map (below the temp map) that there's a large coastal storm off the Mid Atlantic coast at this time which means there is likely a cold front dragging behind it. That might mean thunderstorms for the southeast on the 7th. At a high of 79 degrees on Saturday and a cold front sweeping thru, it would make sense that there could be thunderstorms. There's a hint of that on this Saturday map so maybe it would be more like late Saturday then early Sunday. Still a ways off. Just have to wait and see.

I walked through the first section of Finish Line bleachers at Epcot yesterday!

Just promise us that you won’t be like our version of Jim Cantore ... showing up when the bad weather is rolling in!

I love the commercial they did with Jim Cantore showing him going on normal vacation and everybody running away from him when they saw him.

Don't let him near the course.

I entered my Photo Pass codes from my bib number into my Memory Maker. Will that work so far out?

As a newspaper journalism graduate from a top j-school, I would advise another field. Out of all my classmates, just *one* is still in the industry. The newspapers I worked at now have a third to a half of the staff they had 25 years ago (and one is out of business). Encourage the writing, absolutely, but expand the field of study. JMHO.

+1 to this advice. Nothing wrong with marketing or a business degree - you can be a MarCom person

My husband is the only journalism guy I know still working in the field (and I was a sports journalist for over a decade myself ... without a journalism degree either), so this is #ReppedForRealTalk

And my husband is no longer in print journalism either.

No, that's Charles. The weather was always the opposite of what he planned
