So this is my first blog ever and I've been following soo many other Disney blogs over the last year that have been really helpful so I thought I may as well start my own! I would have started it earlier and covered the whole application process but I didn't want to in case I didn't get accepted. Especially as I got put on the dreaded waitlist and it felt like I'd never get out there! There are lots of other bloggers out there who have covered the whole application process in great detail so check out my links for some of them!
I can't even remember how I found out about the CRP but I've been a Disney geek since forever and as soon as I found out I could work out there I applied. Two and a bit years after my first application I finally received an email with the best news ever, I'd be starting June 19th 2012! For anyone who's stumbled on this blog, the CRP is Disney's Cultural Representative Program where people from around the world can work at the Epcot theme park in the Walt Disney World Resort. It's just a one year visa and participants work in either Food and Beverage, Attractions or Merchandise representing their country. As I'm from the UK I'll be working in the UK Pavillion and in Merchandise.
So I fly out in two days so thought I'd better do a post before I'm stateside! The last few weeks have flown by and it doesn't really feel like I'm leaving. I don't think it will until I'm by myself on the plane! My Mum had a get together for me over the Jubilee weekend with all my Aunts and Uncles which was lovely to see them all before I leave. We had American flags and bunting everywhere it was great!
My friends threw me an amazing surprise party last weekend and I've never been so shocked and confused in my life! I honestly has no idea they were planning it, I even missed the sign outside that said closed for a private party.My brother has a great video of me walking in, and of course I cried seeing everyone there!
So my next post will probably be on Sunday once I've checked into Disney's Pop Century Resort. Seems soo surreal typing that. I still have to finish packing my cases, it's so hard to decide what to take for a year and it's ridiculous how much crap I have! Thank god I'm taking two cases I'd never manage with just one!
