The best summer i have ever had, i worked as a character attendant, once of the best and most rewarding jobs i have done in my life, i got to work at all the parks in all different locations with an array of amazing people, i also was lucky enough to have stayed at Blue Heron Resort (opposed to any of the Disney housing areas) in the master bedroom with another girl from Australia who in the end became someone i could defiantly call a true friend... anyway the list of unimaginable perks goes on and onSo the purpose of this new blog i have open is because I'm returning to Disney!
to cut a really long and detailed story short, after returning from my last program i decided to take a semester off university, get everything in my life back in order, work a bit and then head back to finish off my degree, well instead i found myself wanting so badly to go back to work at Disney and when i found out i could i literally jumped at the chance.
Now after a few months of repeating paperwork, interviews and application forms (all of which were exactly the same as last year) i have been officially accepted to return to Walt Disney World...
And if you can possibly read that blurry part of my email,As a character performer this time, I'm so excited its my true Disney dream coming true! last program i was the voice for the characters and this time i actually get to be the character, my official position that i was offered was the character performer role of Pluto!
i did apply last year to be a character before character attendant but i was told that i was in a height range and unable to perform that job, but whilst i was there i asked a few questions to the right people and it turns out I'm actually the right height and what Disney told me probably was because they didn't have any positions available at the time...
but i don't mind because now I'm going to have experienced both roles in entertainment (by far the best part of Disney!) and i simply cant wait.
However its not only the job itself that is so exciting this time around, its also because this time i will be able to living in the actual housing complexes (hopefully Patterson Court, i saw that being built when i was there last and it looks HUGE) and also i will be there a lot longer then 2 and a bit months... my program dates this time round run from the 17Th of September through until the 6Th of February, so i still get to experience the holidays at Disney (which i think were my favourite part of my last program) but also i will be there for the food and wine festival that runs in September i think at EPCOT, Ive also been asked to work at the Australian pavilion while the festive is running, I'm also so excited to be asked to do that role on top of my other one.
so all in all I'm pretty much over the moon with how everything has worked out, i believe i only have a matter of a month and 4 days until i depart, which really isn't that long considering i still have a visa to obtain, Ive also got about 12 days of work left, because I'm planning on leaving early so i can spend some time with my family before i leave... i think that almost sums it up, i was so unbelievably lazy on the blog i kept last year so this time round I'm going to make a real point of documenting everything, no only for myself and my family and friends, but also for all those other people who want to know everything they possibly can about this amazing experience, epically those on the WDWIP website...
