Two years ago I participated in the Disney College Program at Walt Disney World (you can read past entries to hear about those experiences) and worked at Pecos Bill’s Tall Tale Inn & Café in the Magic Kingdom and had the time of my life. I enjoyed every minute of it… the good and the bad, the outrageous and the admirable… guest interactions, making the magic, making new friends, the networking, playing in the parks, and everything else that you think of when you dream of Disney. When I completed the program, I applied to become a Campus Representative at my university and was accepted as the first and only Campus Rep at HPU. I held down the fort pretty well and even had about 10 students participate in the program over the year and a half I was a campus rep, a pretty big feat considering that my school doesn’t offer credits for the program and most people on my tiny campus had never heard about the program before!
I am so excited to begin the next chapter of My Disney Story at Disneyland in California as a Resort Transportation and Parking Disney College Program cast member for the Fall of 2012. I have never been to Disneyland before and can't wait to see where and how it all started. Disneyland is just full of so much company history. I'm hoping to network a ton while I'm out there as well and apply for a few professional internships after this college program is over to continue my employment with The Disney Company. I can't wait to see what my future has in store for me!
Only 19 days left until I am in the air headed to California!
