Officially Official!

Hey everyone!!!

So I opened my e-mail this afternoon to find that I had an "official" Disney e-mail welcoming me to the team....UBER exciting!!! It is now kind of more officially official heheh....I'd be jealous of me.................if I weren't me!!

Anyways...I am going to attempt some screen caps for you, so you can see the excitement that I am feeling! (please take extra notice of the creepy, hidden in shadow, oddly Spanish looking Walt Disney! haha)

**update, I can't screencap, as my technological abilities seem to be lacking tonight, so here is a transcript, and a copied picture of creepo Disney**

**update to the update, I don't actually think Disney himself, was a creepo, I just think the picture is pretty creepy, and that a better picture could have been chosen for such an occasion!**

Congratulations, Lisa!

So that is about it for now...a short update, on the non-disney portion of my life...my birthday was a success, no parade or anything (tehehe!) but I got a good shopping day in, and a GREAT dinner with my daddio...and a SWEET new digital camera (colour: pink!).

A little less than 2 weeks until Australia!!!!!!! which shall be documented in this here blog, so you all can enjoy with me!

That really is it right now....so keep an eye out for my next entry, as it is sure to be disney related...as I now have contact with Disney itself!! WOOOOT!

Can't Really Come Up With a Cohesive Title for This One, So I'll Just Leave it as This...

Hi everyone!

Seeing as how it has been a while since I've updated this thing, I thought I should!

A few Disney related things have happened to me in the last little while...

The other Disney-bound Lisa and I had a lunch date last week, and it was QUITE fun...just discussing Disney with another interested person makes it seem all the more real. We talked about everything from Disney re-furbishing old rides (i.e. if EVER they touch Spaceship Earth, I will be crying myself to sleep!), to the interviews, to our families, to our travels down there...it was lovely! (hopefully we can get a few more in before December!)

I've been speaking to a few people who are already down there, and they seem to be having a GREAT time...despite the ridiculous heat down there at this time of year...and I've also been told that they are re-inventing the Canadian 360, and the opening ceremony at Epcot is going to have Martin Short and Eva Avila (because they narrate the new film?)...which should be pretty fun and interesting, despite the fact that not a whole lot of people are going to know who Eva Avila even is!

Also, I was at work last week, and cast-a-way called me!!! Now, I was SOOO excited (I'm not sure for what?!) but it turns out that all they needed was my police check, which I am in the midst of doing right now...so they should see it sometime within the month.

I'm also in search of some insurance (no luck so far), I've looked into CAA, STA travel, Blue Cross and/or extending my school coverage...if you're Canadian, or if you just happen to know an awful lot about insurance coverage, please let me know...because I am at a complete loss.

That is all Disney-wise for now...sadly, no Disney pack yet...I know, I know I am continuing to think very positive on this, and it probably will not come until after I leave for Australia...but I can still hope!

A lovely note, however, is that it is my birthday tomorrow!! I absolutley LOVE being the birthday girl...and my dad has promised me a fun birthday date...so I'll keep you all posted on that!

That's it for now I'm afraid...I haven't had too much of a life lately...working insane hours, and planning for Australia is eating up all my time...but I promise that I won't let the blog fall to the way-side...I'll keep posting, even if it just exists as my inherent rambling until December.

Please stay tuned...

4 months y'all!!! (Disney related, I promise!)

Just as the title says....it is now 4 months until Disney!!!!!!!

...July sadly, did not go as quickly as June did...but somehow it seems that the 4 months since the interview has gone pretty quickly, which is a GREAT sign!!

Other than that I have nothing really new to share...I'm not going to be booking my flight for a few months yet (or planning my driving sched...as I have spoken to the other Disney bound Lisa, and she was interested in maybe driving down, which could be a fun time...one that would get me out of work a little earlier than expected, which is an added bonus!), and my Disney pack isn't going to be coming for a few months as well....but I will keep you all updated if I hear anything at all!!

To keep you all content however, I will share some more Disney related photography...

Enjoy, until next time my friends!
