    Book Review: The Ride of a Lifetime by Bob Iger & Joel Lovell

    If you’ve read my blog posts, it’s pretty evident that I love Disney. So when I heard Bob Iger was releasing a book, it was immediately on my Goodreads list. It took me a while to get to it, but I’m happy to say I finished it, and even more…

  • My First Trip Home

    My First Trip Home

    September 12-15, 2019 Everything is scary when you’re designated the “front person” What can I say, I missed Orlando. I may have just moved back to Texas in May, but May to September felt like a century. I would think about Halloween Horror Nights at least once a day, so…

  • MY Truth about the DCP

    MY Truth about the DCP

    After I wrote my first update and posted it to this page, I knew that I would be writing this post. As a matter of fact, I started writing this post. A lot of people wonder about the Disney College Program. What do we do? What is it like? Before…

  • I finally met Mickey Mouse…

    I finally met Mickey Mouse…

    3/28-4/10 It took me nearly 4 months to meet the boss. So this is really late, but it’s fine. As expected, the days are going by really fast now that we’re halfway through the program. I’m really tired, but I’m having a lot of fun. I’ve kind of just accepted…

  • Of course I can fry oreos, I fry things at work all the time.

    Of course I can fry oreos, I fry things at work all the time.

    3/14-3/27 St. Patrick’s Day is fun, but Guinness is gross. I’ve decided that I might stick with the two week format I used for the last update, so I’m going to try that again for the last two weeks! The first few days involved a lot of sleeping, working, and…

  • Mid-program plans include…TEXAS!

    Mid-program plans include…TEXAS!

    2/28-3/13 Are you really in the DCP if you don’t buy your (sister’s) dog a Disney harness? It’s been kinda busy, so this is going to be a two week update rather than just a week!I’m skipping the 28th, because all I really did was work. A couple of weeks…

  • Time Flies at Disney World

    Time Flies at Disney World

    2/21-2/27 Unless you’re cleaning the kitchen. Then the day never ends. It’s really weird to think that I’ve been here for nearly two months! Some days it feels like time isn’t moving forward at all, but it definitely doesn’t feel like it’s been that long since mom and I drove…

  • One month down, three more to go!

    One month down, three more to go!

    2/14-2/20 Kylo Ren can definitely smell fear. On Thursday, February 14, I had officially been here a month! I survived, and I think I’ll make it all the way to the end of the program in one piece. This specific day, I worked (not a suprise), but I didn’t have…

  • The Longest Day Ever

    The Longest Day Ever

    2/7-2/13 How many days of work in a row?! Thursday felt like the longest day ever. It was 10.5 hours, my last day in the nine day streak of working days, AND I had to clean the back of Nieco, aka the burger broiler. It was my least favorite thing…

  • Work and Work and Play

    Work and Work and Play

    1/31-2/6 Adulting is hard, but it’s better with Mickey waffles. This update is coming a little later than normal, largely because I just finished working for nine days in a row. Luckily, I survived, but I hope my days off are never that far apart again. So for most of…
