I leave for Disney in 18 days!
I put in availability to work 10-9:30 for two of the days I'm there (I'm only there for 4 entire days.) One of the people from scheduling called me today, asking about a shift with a 9:30 time, but I couldn't understand if she said 9:30 start time or 9:30 end time. Either way, I said I'd take it so I know I get at least one shift. I can't figure out where the shift is for if it starts at 9:30am since I left before I could get trained on teh new parade at Studios & I don't remember if character room has a shift that starts then. O well, I'll be able to see my schedule next Sunday.
I can't wait till I'm back! A few of my friends from my programs will be there then, so we're gonna try to meet up.
I'll probably post a short trip report when I get back. I leave for camp for the summer a week after I get back.

Long Time No Update
My post-Disney depression has hit full force. I'm going back for a long weekend 6 weeks from tomorrow, but that's still a long time.
One of my friends from my first program wants to do the program again next spring & now I want to go back then. I'm going to talk to my advisor to find out if it could count as the internship I need if I can get hospitality or concierge. The only problem I can see with it is the classroom portion of the internship isn't offered online, meaning I have to be in Milwaukee for my internship. Ive decided it's best to find out now before I even apply or anything.
I don't really have anything else Disney related. I'm working at girl scout camp again this summer, as the events specialist. It's a new position for me & I'm super excited for it.

Summer plans
Well, my interview for the summer alumni program went really well, but I won't be spending my summer at Disney after all. Recruiting called me the day after my interview to let me know that because of my record card, i'm not eligible to switch roles right now. I had 6 points, but couldn't have more than 5 to be able to switch. I don't think it would have been a problem if costuming were an option.
I've decided to try to go back for a long weekend right after I'm done with school, my last exam is over at 11:30 & my flight is at 1:30 that day. I get to see one of my best friends if I go then & I'll be able to work a few days to keep my seasonal status. If anyone reading this is looking to go down in may, let me know, I'm looking for someone to split the room at all stars with.

After Thoughts
I know I said I'd post when I got home & now I am.
I've been home for almost 2 weeks. I finished unpacking earlier this week. Going through everything made me do a lot of thinking about the program. I loved being there again, but it wasn't the same as my first program. I think a lot of it had to do with the people. My last program, all of the costumers were a pretty close group. This time, we didn't get really close & start spending a lot of time together until it was almost over. Sure, I'll miss them, but not in the same way that I miss my first program's group. Before I went this time, I told myself that I would have friends outside of costuming this time. My closest friends this time worked in busses & qsfb.
This program definitely helped me realize that although I want to work for Disney in the future, I might be best in a role other than costuming. I picked up a Christmas party shift & New Years Eve, handing out hats & horns to guests. I loved having that guest interaction that I don't get in costuming.
Today, applications were posted for the summer alumni program. I watched the e-presentation & applied right away. I was able to schedule an interview for tomorrow at 1:30pm. The only options for roles for the summer alumni program were merchandise, attractions, quick service food & beverage, custodial, & housekeeping. I chose merchandise, attractions, and qsfb.
I'll try to post after my interview and definitely after I hear something back.

It's Time to Say Goodbye
I know I haven't updated this in forever. I got busy with school & working so much that I barely had time for facebook, let alone blogging.
I didn't my extension or campus rep position. I was upset at first, but I've decided it's best for me to just go home & focus on school for awhile.
Today is my last day of work & I'm flying home Friday morning. It's been a sad week, a bunch of people left over the weekend, so we wen to ihop the night before many of them left. Im going to watch fantasmic one last time tomorrow night with a whole group that's leaving on Friday as well.
Since I haven't written in so long, I think I'll stop here or I'm gonna keep writing about everything that has happened since my last post. I'm thinking I'm gonna do a post once I get home with my thoughts about the program this time.
