    Default I've Arrived

    Well as some of you know I am doing the Disney College Program. Also as some of you know I left Sunday Morning for my long long drive down here. We left early Sunday morning and made it down to central Tennessee near Nashville to visit and stay with my cousins for the night then we woke up yesterday morning to continue our drive down. Yesterday was the worst part as it was close to a 10 hour drive. But overall it was a pretty uneventful drive. There really was no traffic at all the entire way down here which made us happy.

    Right now we are just waiting to go and check in tomorrow morning and stay warm. It is currently 40 which is way warmer then my house but still cold for Orlando. But other then that not much going on just wanted to let you all know I made it safely I will let you all know how its all going after I find out more of what I am doing.
    Chris

    I can't wait to hear more about the Disney College Program! This really does sound exciting to me. I'm glad you made it with no events to tell us about. I think Ice has told us enough terrible stories to last the entire year. Oh but I do need to tell you..... it is a beautiful 78 degrees here..

    Glad to hear you made it there safely with all the bad weather going on.

    Good luck and keep in touch!

    BTW Dino, you don't have to get Figgie any presents while you are there. Evil voice or not over his recommendation for a job. When you see him on his next trip, say who are you?

    Yay Dino! I'm glad you have safely arrived at the House of the Mouse! We want daily reports.

    Oh, btw, Fan and Figgie, it was 71 here today!

    I guess Cat doesn't read those Sugeon General Warnings

    Guess Figgie doesn't read the other warning label.

    Oh by the way Chris dude welcome to Sunny Florida, and the Disney Family. So when is Traditions? Do you know where your going to be working? Don't forget to stop by T-land and say hello to me. I'm off Thursdays/Fridays, that's my weekend.
    So JPL does that mean that gasp that Dreamer has to buy you presents?!?!

    Good luck Dino!!!

    I'm sure I'll be visiting WDW at least a couple of times while you're there. We'll definitely have to get a couple of mini-gatherings / parties going on...

    Okay so I figured I would update you all on what is going on

    Yesterday I was pretty busy and tired the apartment I'm in is very nice its a 3 BR but its very nicely sized I have to share a room with somebody but so far he is cool. But its cool with the apartment complex I'm in is the new one so each bedroom had its own etherent and television ports each bedroom also has its own bathroom so its cool to not have to share with everybody. Even thought he room is nice the beds are not so comfortable but I am dealing with it lol

    Anyways Yesterday I found out my role which some how even after Figgies "nice" recommendation I didn't get the scooper for the I am actually going to be working on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom as operations person so like Parade Crowd control and greeter things like that.

    I had traditions today and that was pretty cool they talked alot about the history of the company and even though I knew most of it they did a great job and it was neat.

    I'm now off until Tuesday when they show me around the Magic Kingdom and then I start training after that.

    So everything is going pretty well so far!

    Be our guest, where you'll hear stories about the attractions and get to experience them also. But then you'll learn things for our guests, then the "real training" begins dude. Welcome to the Magic Kingdom family. Besides we might bump into each other to and or from the bus.
