The Arrival to Disney!

I checked into the Disney College program this past Monday, August 20th.  There were about 500 other college students that also checked in on that day!  We went through multiple steps throughout the day, so they could get all of our information.  We then did a quick move into our apartment and after that went to casting where I was assigned Animal Kingdom as a character attendant.  I will travel with numerous characters throughout my shifts!  I was happy about this because that is one of my favorite parks.  I will find out more information during the Disney traditions class and my first training day on Saturday.
This program is really pretty cool.  Most of the people working here have gone through the college program, then do a professional internship, and later on end up working for one of Disney's companies including ABC, ESPN, Disneyland, and the resorts overseas.  I could see myself working for Disney after I graduate, especially if I end up loving the program, which I do so far!
A little of what I have experienced this week --
There are many events that the college program hosts.  Today was the first of many.  It was called "Time for Tea Party."  Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter, and Mary Poppins were at the event so my roomates and I got pictures with them.  It was awesome to be able to interact with them :).  There was also a DJ at the event, and they handed out prizes, and then we had food there.  Disney does everything possible to make a good impression.  Everything I have attended so far is done very well and I believe that is why they have such a good name.
