Long Term Goals

I finally have a purpose to my life. I have found what I want to do after college. My long-term goals are now in place.

So Phase 1: Fall 2010; attend college classes and apply for DCP

     Phase 2: Spring 2011; go to Disney College Program

     Phase 3: Fall 2011; either extend my DCP program or college

     Phase 4: Spring 2012; finish college and graduate; apply for 2nd term in DCP

     Phase 5: Fall 2012: DCP

     Phase 6: Spring 2013; Apply to the Disney Cruise Line

I am very excited about my plans. It feels good to know what I want.

So check them out.

Things To Do In Disney

Once I'm in Disney, I have a list of things that I'd like to do.

• Eat/drink around the world - trying at least one food or drink from each pavillion in World Showcase
• Hats - I want to take a photo of me wearing a hat from every country in World Showcase
• Theme days - Pick a theme for the day i.e. Jungle and ride the safari all day
• Character Meets - Try and find as many characters as possible to get autographs and photos
• Hidden Mickey - Try to find a post hidden mickeys from all the parks
• Universal Studios - Visit the park at least once
• Cique du Soleil - La Nouba must be seen at least once during the program
• Parades - See every parade
• Fireworks - See all the fireworks shows
• Resorts - I want to visit every single one of the resorts, especially Animal Kingdom Lodge

I'm sure I'll do plenty of other stuff, but that's my list for now.

Facebook

I just created a Facebook page the other day.  I've had a Facebook before but all I did was use it for apps.  This time I plan on using it for finding info on the DCP and networking with other future CPers.  I already joined the Spring/Spring Advantage 2011 group.  I didn't think that there would be a group yet.  I spent most of yesterday (when I should have been cleaning) checking out the discussion posts.  It's kinda cool meeting all the potential Spring CPers and seeing what they're like. 
I might even be able to find my future roomate in the group. Who knows?

The List

My title sounds a little ominous doesn't it? But really this post is just going to be me listing all my favourite Disney things. So here goes.

Favourite Movie:   Beauty and the Beast and Tinkerbell are tied.

Favourite Character:   Tinker Bell (she's my homegirl :D)

Favourite Princess:    I have 3-Cinderella, Belle, and Aurora

Favourite Prince:    Naveen cause he looks good, can sing, and plays an instrument.

Favourite Movie Duo:   Timon and Pumbaa (Who doesn't love them?)

Favourite Disney Park:    Magic Kingdom follwed extremely closely by Epcot (love Morocco)

Favourite Disney Ride:    Space Mountain; I love the thrill and adrenaline it induces.

Favourite Disney Show:    Don't have one; the only show I've seen is Nemo the Musical :(

So yeah ... that's the list.  I can't really think of anything else I should add to it right now but I might post an updated list later on. Perhaps once I get in to the program.

Advisor Meeting

So today I had an appointment with my advisor at school about next semester's registration. I signed up for my classes for next Fall and I also talked to her about the DCP.

I was a little tense going into the meeting.  I had been asuming the worst and expected her to protest my going to the DCP.  I had even prepared a few reasons and rehearsed contradictions to her reasons why I shouldn't.  Turned out I didn't need them at all.

My advisor had, at one point in the meeting, said that I should be able to graduate in Spring 2011 but then I told her about Disney and she got excited.  So this Fall I'll be applying for DCP with the full backing of my advisor.  She said it would be a great experience for me (which I agree with).

Now, all I need to do is continue saving money and apply.

Yeah!  It looks so much more real to me now. :D
