Guess who's going to Disney World! (hopefully)

So as I left my house yesterday around 4 PM I had the sudden impulse to check my email, and what do you know, my acceptance email! I was accepted for Spring 2011 Merchandise. I'm so excited, it only took 7 days! I feel bad for the other applicants still waiting to hear back. I'm shooting for Jan 12 as my arrival date, or Jan 17, or Jan 19. I hope to the Chatham and hope to meet some awesome people that will hopefully become roommates. I still need to pay my 100 dollar program assessment fee and pick my dates. The wait until Florida starts TODAY and I can't wait. Think purple everyone still waiting and have a magical day!

Day 6

Day 6, I opened up my mail app on my iPhone to 3 new messages on my gmail. Of course, just random mail I didn't care for. So the Disney wait continues. I know I'll hear back soon and so will my fellow applicants. Think purple everyone and have a magical day!

Day 5

So today marks day 5 of the Disney wait, my friend Vanessa just asked me, "You're still obsessing over it?!" I don't think she understands how badly I've wanted this for YEARS. The wait is killing me but, I find things to tide me over. To my fellow applicants THINK PURPLE and have a magical day.

oovoo

So I have an oovoo, add me if you'd like (antlaneftw).

Day 4

So it is about 9 AM September 26, day 4 of my Disney wait. I'm getting antsy, I would LOVE to hear back soon so I can stop stressing about it. I can't imagine how all those people waiting for 3-4+ weeks feel! Needless to say, I will be obsessively checking my email today. So to all my fellow applicants, THINK PURPLE and have a magical day!

Day 3

So it looks as though people are finding out already if they were accepted or not. My friend Whitney found out in 8 days! And so have some of the other people in the Walt Disney World College Program Spring and Spring Advantage 2011 page on facebook. I'm so happy for you all and I hope I find out that soon! It will greatly help calm the nerves. For anyone still waiting remember, THINK PURPLE. Have a magical day.

Day 2 of the wait

Ok so, it's day 2 of my wait and i'm already getting antsy. Pathetic right? I don't think I've ever wanted something as much as I have wanted this, well not for a LONG time. Let's hope I'm one of those lucky few who get their acceptance super early. To all my fellow applicants still waiting, or if you're pending, THINK PURPLE. Have a magical day!

Phone Interview

So I had my phone interview today, it went fairly well I assume. My recruiter asked me basic questions about work experience, if I like to work in a team or individually, things like that. She was VERY nice and pretty funny too. Now for the wait, I think I made a good impression though, and she sounded impressed. I didn't have to try and smile during my interview because I was naturally excited haha. Overall, it went well, now for the agonizing wait. To all my fellow applicants out there, THINK PURPLE and have a magical day!

So just a quick check in.

I am officially applied for the WDWCP YEAAAAH SUCKAS. And I'm pretty confident I'll get in, but then again, if I wasn't, that'd be bad. I am hoping for that purple folder sometime after my phone interview Wednesday at 10:30, I'll update after that to let you know how it went. That's it for now, get at me on twitter (@antlane). Have a magical day!

So it begins...

Just did the online portion of the Walt Disney World College Program application. SO EXCITED. I have to schedule my phone interview soon, but no worries. Any tips, suggestions, anything? Email me (antoning6692@gmail.com) or tell me on twitter (@antlane). Thanks and have a MAGICAL day!

La la la la...

...just waiting so I can "watch" the e-presentation and do my web interview for the WDWCP, I'm excited but the site is still down.

In other news, I'm fairly confident I will be accepted to the program. My roles choices (in order) will be, Character Attendant, QSFB, and Attractions.

Past CM's that have done these roles, or any past CM's feel free to comment on this. I would love input!

Have a MAGICAL day!!

Walt Disney World College Program Site

Apparently is trippin, aka it's down. And yes, I am applying for Spring 2011!! Wish me luck! I hope I make it!!!

Glee returns!

SEASON 2 IS ON THE WAY! If you didn't know, I'm a total Gleek, I've followed the show since day 1 and don't plan on stopping anytime soon! I'm super excited for season 2 and you better believe I will use this blog to talk about it!

New Resort?

You heard CORRECT!!!! Disney's Art of Animation resort is scheduled to open in 2012. WaltDisneyWorld.com  has artist renderings of the resort.

That's the news for today! Disappointed? Sorry I'm pretty tired D:

As always leave comments, reply to me on twitter (@antlane) and have a magical day!

Tom Lane's Music Blog

My dad's blog http://tomlanesblog.blogspot.com/ got hacked and someone posted an apology to something that he said that he didn't actually want to apologize about. Does that make sense? Anyways, whoever did it, get a life, seriously.

Fire on Splash Mountain?! A NEW PARADE AT HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS?!

You heard correctly folks, kinda. The fire department was called to the MK today with reports of a burning smell inside the electrical room around Splash Mountain. There was no evacuation. 


From insidethemagic.net:

Today Disney announced a new parade is on the way to Disney’s Hollywood Studios focusing on the popular characters from the world of Pixar.

The new parade is still being developed and doesn’t have an official name yet (rumored early names include “Pixar Pals Cavalcade,” “Countdown to Fun”), but according to the Disney Parks Blog it will definitely feature Remy and Emile from “Ratatouille” and Carl and Russell from Disney/Pixar’s “Up.” It will likely be similar to the Pixar Play Parade that has run at the Disney California Adventure theme park in Anaheim.

It has been said that the new parade will eliminate show stops, returning to a traditional constantly-moving parade style.

Block Party Bash (pictured above), which left California Adventure to make way for the Pixar Play Parade, will have its final performance on January 1, 2011. The new parade is scheduled to open January 16

As always feel free to add anything in the comments below. Thanks and have a magical day!

Cast Member Confidential

I picked up my copy of Cast Member Confidential today. I've gotten through about 75 pages and am enjoying the stories inside it. A full review to come when I finish.

Have a magical day!

I want to know...

...what is YOUR favorite thing about Disney Parks? Mine is personally how unhappy I can be until I step past the turnstile. After that it's all smiles. Nothing can kill my mood.

Leave your thoughts...somewhere....twitter (@antlane) or in a comment.

As always, have a magical day!

So a few quick things...

As some of you may know, I am probably leaving CSU Sacramento at the end of the semester, and transferring to CSU Monterey Bay or Monterey Peninsula College. If the latter happens, I am thinking about doing the WDWCP in Spring 2011. Also, I am changing my major to Business Management.

Next, I NEED A JOB. So if anyone has some suggestions of how to make quick money (preferably by blogging :P) let me know by email (antoning6692@gmail.com).

If you know how to join the Radio Disney Road Crew, I'd also like to know about that.

Thanks for reading, and have a magical day!

Disney CareerStart/College Program and Me.

Thanks in advance and have a magical day!
