Spring Break

Well today officially started my spring break, meaning I have finished Term 4, thank God, the classes werent hard, just boring. So what am I doing for spring break? I dont really know what im going to do, I havent really thought about it.

So anything about disney this week, nope. Im just waiting for May to come, I cant wait. Its almost killing me, I really cant wait to get there, and school seems to be going by so slow.

So thats all for now, I might make a vLog sometime soon, im sorry if you are wondering why I havent been making them, I really dont have anything disney related to talk about, and I dont want to get on camera and start talking about random things. Thats what the written blog is for... haha

So thats all for now

Decision Time!

Two decisions were made today regarding Disney and School. One I have decided to go ahead and buy a Mac, but I am going to buy used. I feel like I don't need a fancy new computer from the apple store when I can buy a descent used one for under $700. $1600 or $700, hmm which to pick.

Now on to disney, I have officially decided on where I am going to be staying...

(DRUM ROLE)

Patterson Square

Yeah everyone is on the Vista vibe, but I find Patterson more appealing. So I cant wait till May, its going to be awsome.

Thats all for now

MacBook?

So where should I begin?

Oh I know...... 

My questioning about spending the money and going ahead and buying a MacBook has begun again. I just dont know what to do. I know I will have the financial aid to cover the new computer, but I could save that money for my expenses such as debt I will owe at the end of my days here at Troy. But I know I really need a more reliable computer. I am using a ton of fragments and I am pretty much mubbling about stuff that has nothing to do with disney, but I needed to question myself online.

So on to disney stuff, well nothing much has happened since my letter has arrived. Im sorry I havent been vloging, but I really dont have anything to vlog or even blog about. Nothing really is going on other than T3 finals this week for me. I did find a room mate though and I have met some people I know I am going to be good friends with down in Florida. I cant wait.

If I havent already posted, my arrivial and depearture date is May 20th-Jan 2nd, but as of right now, it probally wont be till next may that I will depart. Thats right, I am planning on extending into the next program, that is if they are still letting students do that next semester. So nothing much going on with my life, ill try and vlog sometime this week. Ill talk to everyone later.

Zach

12 Weeks!

So its about 11PM here and I thought I might as well do another post since I havent dont one in a while. Well its just 12 weeks till I get to move into my apartment in Florida. I am real REAL excited about actually getting to go down there. Really thats all I wanted to say. When something else comes up ill keep you posted.

Whats Next?

So now that you have your letter, whats next?

Well when you look in your folder you will see something like this... (To the left) Inside your folder is a personal letter to you that lists the job you have been given, the period of time you will be part of the program (Fall, Fall Advantage, Fall Quarter) and how much money you will be making an hour (Dont ask me how much I get payed, im not allowed to tell you, so dont waist your time in asking me). You will also get a checklist of things you need to do before you get to the program. You will also get a sheet about the disney look. What I like about Disney, is they really want you to be prepared before you arrive to the program. The disney look, if you are reading this before you apply, is how all cast members are supposed to look while working for the Walt Disney Company. Things like women are to have one hair color and men are to be clean shaved. 

After that you are to log into the the special area for cast members who are currently attending or just been accepted to the program. From there you are able to log in and pay you NON REFUNDABLE $100 assessment fee. Why I capitalized the non refundable is because that is what it is, non refundable.. meaning they wont be giving it back no matter how long you complain and beg. When you accept your position on the website, it saves your position for up to two weeks. If you dont pay your assessment fee by two weeks you position could be lost. Which could be bad since the college program is pretty much everyones dream, well at least its your dream and getting accepted is allowing you to follow that dream and not paying the fee could end up with you not being able to attend the program.

After that, all you have is the site. There are different things for you to do like some of the paperwork that you will be able to complete early before you actually get to Vista Way on your check it date. There are videos are more informatioal things for you to see, now that you have accepted your position. After that, its the long wait till your check in date. I know it is for me, its going to be hard to wait till May to check in. but luckily for me, school ends on the 17th, so the wait might speeed up a little but as I get towards finals of my final term of school. But thats all for now, Congradulations to everyone who is recieving their letters and for everyone else, they are on their way... I promise

Vlog 6: IT HAS ARRIVED

There you go guys, enjoy

A little about me!!

Well, I decided to go ahead and start a written  blog that will go a little more in depth with the college program, while my vlogs are just to... well do pretty much the same things these are going to do. I am probally going to post a little more in here than taking the time to actually sit down and do videos, but I promise I will try and do a video at least once a week.

So where to begin.....

My name is Zach and I am currently a Freshman at Troy University. School has been awsome and I really like it a lot more than high school, which I think that is supposed to happen, but who knows. haha

Anyway, on to business. I have recently been accepted into the Disney College Program for Fall Advantage 2009

*MAGIC SPARKLE THINGS*

Yeah, I am real excited

The role I was offered was Quick Service Foor & Beverage. Personally, im pretty happy with the position...

1. Its Disney

2. Its the college program

3. I get to interact with the quests more which is really what I wanted to get out of the program since I am most likely going to major in Tourism Management

and

4. Its Disney

So its going to be fun, and I know I am going to have a good time with it.

Well thats all for know, I am going to go ahead and post my latest vlog from youtube. Check out my vlogs and please subscribe.. I like comments

Ill talk to everyone later
