Hey y'all!

My name is Fallon, and I am about to start my second CP (for those of you who don't know, I mean CP as in College Program, not CP as in Crystal Palace :thumbsup2)

My check in date is August 19th 2009, and I'm extremely excited! I can only think about how awesome it would be to go back and do the CP again!

Yes, I said again, this will actually be my second CP. My first one was back in Fall 2007, but I ended up falling in my apartment and injuring my knee after only being there a month. But this past December I finally got my knee surgery, and after 3 semesters of reapplying I got back in!

I will be doing Merchandise, but I won't find out where I work til August 20th.

So why a pre-trip report? Well because my family and I are hoping to go as a vacation as well! We are thinking about August 17th-21st. This way, I have 2 days with them before I check in, my check in day, and then 2 days with them there to help me settle in (ie. go to Walmart and buy the millions of bottles of water I'm going to need, since I don't drink soda and Orlando water is just nasty).

In this pre-trip report, I will not only be talking about the five months of planning that I am going to get to do (yay!) but also five months of preparing for my CP. It'll be loads of fun!

So hope you will keep reading and we can go on this awesome journey together!
 
Sounds fun...you must be excited about the CP! That is a bummer about the first time though. :guilty:

I'll be going in August so maybe I'll see you there working at Disney!
 
So the Cast:

So far, there are four people in our cast.

Pat (My Mom)
My mom, a goofy lover :goofy:. My mom could (and does half the time) spend all day watching Soap Operas and home improvement shows. She has been to Disney about as many times as I have, and is bummed that they stopped Super Soap Weekend, because she never got to go to one.

Ben (My Dad)
My dad, I think of him as my own personally Sulley :sulley:. He has a personality that is, unique. He seems scary, but he is still caring underneath, still is overprotective sometimes though, and still treats me l am 10 or 11. He actually went to WDW the week it opened! I'm totally jealous. My Nana (his mom) meant to give me the papers from it, but she accidently threw them away :(.

Fallon (Me!)
Me of course, I'm 20 years old and totally obsessed with elephants :dumbo:! I'm also the main Disney nut in my family, lol. I am majoring in Hospitality, and hope to one day manage one of Disney's hotels (I'd love to manage Boardwalk! That'd be awesome!) I think it's going to be wicked to spend my 21st birthday at Disney!

Allison (My little sister)
My little sister, she actually turned 11 today! She is a Tigger :tigger:, (I am too, but she's like 5x more hyper then I am). She is deathly afraid of fur characters, we still don't have a picture with her and Mickey :(. I'm not pushing her on it though, because I don't want to make it worse, but considering she is 11 and not over it, I'm pretty sure it's a phobia. When she was about three (her first trip) she hid under the table at one of the character breakfasts, and I think Minnie thought she was playing peek-a-boo and peeked under the tablecloth, my sister screamed bloody murder and ran out of the restaurant, I had to go chase her. She's hated them ever since.

So that's the current cast! I'll give the current plans next post :)
