So Much to Do, So Little Time

OMG only 22 days to go.

Time has gone so fast i actually never realised how close it is.

There isnt really much important info from Disney yet or ever, it almost makes us feel out of the loop. There are alot of things i would like to know but they just dont tell us anything. I dont know what to pack and take with me. it makes it so hard, Having to clean out my room completely so my little sister can move into it makes packing so much harder. Ive pretty much packed all my boxes up its now just my suitcase and clothing to go.

Lastest news that is kinda cool is i have now found out where i will be working when in disney -
POP Century Resort

Caribbean Beach Resort

It looks pretty awesome and im quite excited. It should be pretty relaxed. 

I have now paid my $104 assessment fee which allowed me to choose my subjects. I will be studying Exploring Disney Heritage. This subject should be fun and I am in the same class as Gemma Starick and Georgina Roberts.


I have emailed to confirm my arrival time with Disney and they have confirmed my check-in time for the 7th. I will be checking in at 12pm but i plan on arriving at 9am so i can get the best room. 


Life has been getting so hectic these past few weeks. I have finished Tafe and passed so i will be graduating in July with my Diploma.
Dancing has finished for the year and i was named Senior Dancer of the Year. Very exciting as i have been working so hard this year. 


Im going on holiday next week, which makes packing 100% harder. Pretty much all the clothing im taking on holiday is what ill be packing for America. I get back 1 day before i leave for America so im struggling to work out how i am going to do it all..

I had my farewell on the weekend. It was so good to see everyone one last time before i leave. they all mean so much to me and leaving them makes it very hard. My mum made such an awesome cake. It was chocolate oreo and vanilla cookie dough flavor. Best ever. 


Thats all for now but there might be more to come before i leave for my trip of a lifetime.

When You Wish Upon A Star....

Well today was possibly one of the most exciting days ever :)
Many people received their welcome packs yesterday and I was really upset as it was a stupid public holiday for Sydney.
Today I continued to wish that I would receive it. I sat in my room and watched out my window for hours waiting. I then decided to go and dance (yes dance i never stop haha) and was listening to Beauty and the Beast when I heard and saw a postage car. I ran and waited at the door for the postman to come and deliver it. I was so excited I ran around the house screaming.

The welcome pack has all information regarding the Visa and a small booklet with dress code in it.


Thats all for today. till the next exciting day :)

Just something to inspire you

On note from my last post only like 15 minutes ago i thought i would post a pretty cool quote.
I walked into Lorna Jane change rooms and this was on the wall.

Colours, News and Stres

So I have been really lazy/really busy and have forgotten to write on this and I am sorry. So much has been going on in my life I cant even keep up with it.

First of all, only 97!!!! days till I step on the plane to the happiest place in the world :)



Im so happy there has been so much planning and organising but accommodation is finally booked :) I am staying at the Holiday Inn Lake Beauna Vista. I will be arriving on the 4th with Hayden McGregor, and then on the 5th Christine Worthington will be joining us and on the 6th Keillan Wong will join us. There are also alot of other people from Australia and New Zealand staying in the same hotel. PARTY TIME hahaha

Flights are booked so i shall be leaving Sydney on the 4th January 2012 with Delta, Lucky for me i have people joining me on the flight. Georgina Roberts and possibly Hayden Mcgregor will be with me. Makes the trip so much better. Im not looking forward to the long flight cause I hate being stuck in one place for so long, it gets so boring and airplanes make me so tired i just want to get out of them haha would prefer to be in business but it would never be possible as i am as poor as anything haha..


Its all starting to come together :) in the next week or so we should be receiving our lovely purple folders - these folders will have everything in it from Visa's and all other important information we need to know. When this arrives i think the whole will become more realistic. At the moment it just feels like Im getting ready for a holiday. I think i wont realise until a couple of months in when i start to feel homesick(hopefully i wont)

With more good news - All the Sydney People are finally having a meet up on 7th October. So excited to meet everyone its going to be so good to finally meet some of the people in person. We are going to Pancakes on the Rocks and then bowling/laser tag. It will be awesome i cant wait :)


So thats all for me now as Glee has come on and I need to concentrate haha :)

till next time lets hope its not too long and i have some more exciting news

Its all happening so fast

So its been over a month since i last wrote and a lot has happened since then.

I've been looking at flights and the other day I went to the travel agent to get her to see what she could get me. So it looks like i will be flying out on the 4th January with Delta :)

I've been reading other blogs to get a greater understanding of what is going to happen while I'm in Disney and what i need to do for the lead up.

I have decided that without facebook this whole process would suck. I've been able to meet new people that are doing the disney program. I have met some awesome people that I know will be great friends next year.

To be honest I can not wait for the next 165 days to go.. They can not go any slower lol..
i just want to get to disney.

Im so excited, My sister is writing me a whole lot of lists so i can dress my room up college style plus she is buying me all these cookbooks so i can cook while im there :)

anyways enough for now.. when i find out more information ill tell you all

:)

This is ME

Ive been ready previous and current Disney International Students Blogs about their experience in Disneyworld so i decided or should do one myself, thus allowing friends and familty to follow me while im  overseas.

So here is a little about myself

Name: Kimm (i like the double m)

Age: 18

Occupation: Events Management Student.

I am currently in my first year at TAFE, mind you I only have to do 1 1/2 years. I am almost finished my cert 3 going onto my diploma.

I found out about this program through a teacher at my TAFE. I was really excited about the opportunity but was not sure whether I would get in so I tried not to keep my hopes up.

I went for my interview and was so nervous but luckily they were really nice and I relaxed quickly and was able to have a good conversation about my interests and why I love Disney and what I have done in my life.

I waited forever for the acceptance and it seriously felt like a lifetime.
When i got the acceptance I went wild I drove my sister nuts :)

So basically Im going to be living in America for a year working in the Disneyworld theme parks. I will study while Im over there possibly even something through Harvard!!!!

The excitement is still here although Im nervous at the same time..
I still have like 6months to go, but there is so much to do before then
