The Journey Continues...

Well it's been 2 weeks since my phone interview and I couldn't be more excited.

My interview went amazingly well and at the end of it I was told that I would hear something back in about 2 weeks. That started the most agonizing time in my life. I have never checked my email so many times in such a short amount of time. But that wait ended at 10:30 this morning, 2 weeks exactly since my phone interview started.

I was doing my usual rounds of checking everything. Facebook, email, dashboard. Dashboard, email, facebook. I had just checked my dashboard and was refreshing it to continue on with my routine when I saw it. An email whose subject simply read "Congratulations!" My heart started pounding and my computer would not load fast enough, but as soon as it did I screamed. I had been accepted into the Disney College Program for the Spring Advantage 2012 season. I called my Gram and my sister so excited i could barely breath. I updated facebook and texted everyone. I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it!! But it's true... I'm going to Disney!!!

I am so excited to be able to have the opportunity to work at Disney. It really is a dream come true. I can't wait to see where this journey takes me.

Peace, love, & pixie dust,
Courtney

The Journey Begins

This may be the shortest lived blog ever, but here it goes!

Yesterday I applied to the Happiest Internship on Earth, the Disney College Program. Working for Disney has been my dream for as long as I can remember. Every time I tell people I get one of two responses; I'll either hear, "You wanna work for that rat?!" or "OMG!! You'd be perfect to work for Disney!" For me Disney is just magical. I love it! If it were up to me I would spend all of my time at Disney.

I've known about the DCP since 2007 and have applied twice before without getting in. Yesterday I applied and made it through to the web based interview. I was really nervous about the web based interview because the previous two times I had taken it I did not pass. But at the end of the interview I got to a screen that read, "Congratulations!!!" I had passed the web based interview and was invited to do a phone interview. I scheduled my interview as soon as I could. I now have an interview for tomorrow morning at 10:30 AM. I really hope it goes well, because this would be an amazing opportunity for me. So now I sit and wait for my phone interview. I've never been so nervous for something in my life!!! Wish me luck!!!
Until next time,
Courtney
