Again, Congratulations Jess! You definitely deserved it. I wish I was going back down in the coming year, but I know for a fact my next trip back won't be until 2014. It also would've given me a reason to visit the Grand Floridian (besides just looking around). I'm hoping I get as much luck as you did with getting into the program on your first try.
Wow, those are a lot of facts Ryan told you about the park. I feel I need to copy these down to bother my family with next time we're in there. Maybe give them a new appreciation for the place like me. That would be fantastic! And that's awesome he's trying to get a Professional Internship at Disney. He seems like he knows Disney pretty well so I wish him good luck with that!
Awwww, that's so awesome you and Joni got to meet up and are meeting up again in March! So jealous, SOOOOO wish I could've been going back this year. I really would love to meet a fellow DISer so I can actually talk about Disney until the sun goes down without being told to shut up.

Glad to hear your last night was a great one even if it was the last one!
Can't wait to read more!
