Thanks, Joanna! See you in August (if you don't wander down for a visit sooner). Good luck to you in your final terms...almost finished!

Thanks! I actually will be coming down for a weekend in March. Hopefully I will see you then.

This may be a stupid question but for those of us bringing a TV do we need one of those new digital converter boxes?

Nope - that's only if you need to use an antenna. We have cable!

That's awesome, thanks!!

Possibly stupid question but is it basic cable or do we get channels like Disney, MTV, etc...?

There is a lot of channels (including Disney and MTV).

Do we have dressers for our clothes? And a closet?

There is 1 dresser in the bedroom (with 6 drawers, so 3 drawers each). And there is a walk-in closet in the bedroom that is shared.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if I should bring hangers or not

Oh you will need hangers! The drawers are teenie tiny.

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

The closet only has to shared by two people per room right?

Yes. The closet is only used by the 2 people in the bedroom.

Definitely BRING THEM!!! Don't expect to pick them up at Walmart because they will be out of them for a month or longer--happens every time a fresh batch of CPs arrive!

I got 40 hangers at Walgreens for $6!

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

Haha great, thanks guys! I'm leaving tomorrow for the drive down I'm so excited!

We can't wear jeans at traditions right? Like, not a nice blouse with jeans

 

[KBaum]

Nope, you'll want to have slacks or kahkis or a skirt. You'll get a list of appropriate / inappropriate clothing for Traditions. I remember freaking out the morning before Traditions with my roommates asking "Eek! Is my shirt too low cut? DOES ANYBODY HAVE A SWEATER?" and "Omg. I just put on purple eyeshadow. IS eye shadow okay? WE'RE GOING TO MISS THE BUS! WHERE'S MY FACEWASH I NEED TO WASH OFF MY EYESHADOW!" ....and when we got there it wasn't nearly as bad. Just look neat and presentable, business (business casual?) ... dress like you're going to an interview. And enjoy it! My friend Amanda is teaching Traditions these next few weeks so if you have her tell her that Katie says hi! She's the sweetest girl.

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

Thanks for the info! I leave tomorrow, I can't believe it!

Oh wow! Have a safe trip to FL! Can't wait to hear all about check-in.

I got AK!!! I am VERY happy about that. I also got Dinoland...not sure how I feel about that one since DD showed me the costume (she thinks it's the same as Chester and Hester's?) If so, I-C-K. I know it could be worse, MUCH worse...

Check in has gone very smoothly. Day 1 was about an hour start to finish and today was about 30 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised. I have afternoon Traditions tomorrow and a full weekend of training, so I guess my vacation is over!

The commute from AKL to work is gonna be tough, I tell ya...TOUGH! (I could get used to this...)

I'm halfway to Orlando now (Montgomery). I just missed a major winter storm. I left in sub-zero windchill, snow, low-visibility at 6:30am, only to find myself in bright blue, sunny skies and 70-ish temps by lunchtime. UNREAL!

Anyhow, my amazing roommate from my CP, and our adopted roommate(my roommate as of tomorrow)...in short: 2 of my VERY best friends... have reserved park passes for me and made reservations to treat me to Le Cellier tomorrow!

I hope that you all find friends who are as wonderful as they are while on your CP! I can't imagine my life without them!

Anyhow, I look forward to meeting many of you soon! Safe travels, arrivals, and training...
