"We Are Here to Change the World!"

This has been stuck in my head for the last several days!! It is the Michael Jackson song that plays in one of the attractions I am working.. Captain EO. It is a 3-D movie that stars Michael Jackson and it has the song "We are here to change the world," and so I have been singing it all the time lol! Anyways, this last week has been extremely busy.. again! I was in training last Wednesday through Sunday for both Captain EO and Astro Orbitor in Tomorrowland. I had an amazing trainer that taught us so much and it shows because I passed my PA (Personal Assessment) with flying colors:-) Lauren (the other girl that was training) and I got him candy and a ballon to thank him:-) I have also been busy when I wasn't training because who doesn't want to have fun while they are down in California??? I have been to Disneyland and California Adventure so many times in the last couple weeks, and I am even going again in the next couple hours:-)

My birthday was last Friday and so after work I went back to the apartment to find out that my roommates had decorated the whole place! There were lots of amazing decorations and they even made a wonderful cake:-) I couldn't believe they did that and it made me feel so good! That night I went with two of my roommates, Emily and Bri, to Disneyland! I got a birthday button and Goofy sang 'Happy Birthday' to me over the phone. We also rode several rides and ended our night getting some amazing Dole Whip from outside the Tiki Room. On Saturday my aunt and cousins picked Emily and I up and we went out to Chili's for lunch (for my birthday) and had lots of fun. My aunt got to see my apartment and meet Emily:-)

I am having such a great time with my roommates and I am so thankful that we have all bonded so well together. It is fun to relax around the apartment and laugh and have a great time. Along with my roommates, I have met a ton of new people from work and others in the program:-)

Also, I miss my family dearly! I have been talking to them almost everyday and skyping every once in awhile, which is wonderful:-) I love you guys!!

Well, I am going to go get ready to go to Glow Fest at California Adventure. I am going to try and update my blog once a week, just depending on how busy I am with all the fun times:-) Hope everyone is doing great!

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them"

Here I was young with my family, where it all began!

Walt Disney once said, "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." That quote really explains my story quite well. Every since I was a little girl I have enjoyed every moment I had at Disneyland. It was a place that was full of happiness and where dreams could come true. I never imagined I would ever be a part of the people that make the dreams come true for thousands of people each and every day. I was given the opportunity to be a part of the Disney College Program, and without the courage to pursue this amazing opportunity I would not be where I am today.

I moved into my apartment last wednesday and I have had an amazing time since the first day. I have developed so many friendships and have cherished every moment because I cannot describe all the amazing times I have already had. My roommates are so nice and I will have memories that I will be able to tell to many people that will come into my life.

Starting tomorrow I will be training in Tomorrowland on Astro Orbitor and Captain EO. I am very excited to put smiles on people's faces and to experience the magic that people from all over the world come to experience.

I have had a smile on my face since the moment I got here. I am sooo thankful that my family supported me in doing this program because I am living the dream!

First night exploring the park during the program (I can go whenever I want!)
