The Disney College Program will ruin your life. I’m not talking ‘Argh, I can’t handle this anymore’, I’m talking ‘Argh, I’m bored all the time as nothing compares to the last year that I have spent working, earning and living at Walt Disney World.’<br /><br />That’s right the College Program will ruin your life. The thing is I wouldn’t have it any other way.<br /><br />From walking into my brand new (very spacious) apartment at Patterson Court on the 7th June 2009 to pulling on my thoroughly used (and very uncomfortable) steel-toed Doc Martens for the last time on 2nd June 2010 while working in attractions at the Speedway in Magic Kingdom. I loved every second. Working in Walt Disney World was unlike anything I have ever experienced, and probably ever will. From the thousands of guests I met everyday from around the globe, to dancing and leading a parade around the Animal Kingdom Lodge lobby (where I also worked in merchandise) to the fact that everyday I only had to achieve one thing from each and every guest, a smile.<br /><br />And of course working is only part of it!<br /><br />Living in Orlando is the best. You can have the worst day at work but then come home and party with your new best friends from all over the World. Not only will the memories stay with you for the rest of your life, but so will the people and the hundreds of new best friends you will make. During my program I got the chance to take vacation and visit friends as far Costa Rica to Cancun, Miami to Michigan and even Argentina. This is an experience that will not only affect you for the summer or for the year that you are there, it will stay with you for the rest of your life.<br /><br />I would like to thank Yummy Jobs so much for offering this opportunity and making it possible. They supported me every step of the way, always staying in contact and providing speedy responses to any questions that I had. I am so grateful for all the help they gave and, of course, presenting this program in the first place!<br /><br />So either if you are completely unsure whether to do the program or just on the edge of applying, my advice is JUST DO IT! Honestly you will not regret it. Yummy Jobs will support you all the way and above all gaining new friends from all over the World, working in the World’s number one tourist destination and, of course, making dreams come true (genuinely, you actually do!) and without sounding too clichéd, it really is so hard to explain just how good this program is to anyone who hasn’t done it, how much of an adventure it is and how much fun, not only I had, but you will have. It is the best. So why not do it yourself and find out how it can ruin your life as well. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjARYpfg-TKaQQN04FNvaMKj3LvTwIfKVk-L7oWyjt4A17IMroKhrafNl9cRPzKUG8YTH1YmNgOmpLjUC8auZV78JbaZwfjsDHhoqwAmFC3elrQGzk8gHYhvnE_qmyy7XoyR6xWXVh3VRdL/s1600/3IMG_4206.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I could only look down at the ground and try to take it all in. The instructor tells you to lean back and forth 3 times then you 'fall' out. My mind just went blank! I was holding onto the side of the door with the wind rushing all around me, then I heard 'go' and the next part I was falling from a plane and heading 126mph towards the ground!

It was thanksgiving here and we had a turkey dinner at work! Yay!

Me and Monika finished work at 1230 and after a normally 15 minute drive home taking over an hour due to the crazy traffic we decided to go shopping! Black Friday is when all the shops have sales starting from midnight so we eventually got home and went to the outlet mall at 2am...It was the busiest I'd ever seen it although sales weren't as great as I was expecting. Bearing in mind I had to get to work at 8 we managed to get back home by 6am...eek. (the next day was not fun!)</div><div><br /></div><div>3) Would you believe it I brought a scarf! And actually wore it. In Florida.

We all stayed in different halls around the campus and it was definitely different from uni at home. The football game was the main highlight of the trip which involved us basically standing for three hours (we left early in the end!)...we still don't understand that game! We also went rock climbing, spent A LOT of money in the CMU shop and feasted ourselves on the best fast food central Michigan had to offer!It was a lot of fun!</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Nick (heading to work) xx</div></div></div></div></div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04656389871465504515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072177969184292590.post-2558078492151420642009-10-16T02:50:00.003+01:002009-10-16T02:52:18.748+01:00My background...Ok so who has run off with my background picture?<div><br /><div>Come on admit it.

Oh some of us saw Cirque du Soleil at Downtown Disney last night which is crazy but brilliant! </div><div><br /></div><div>Finally, I want to tell you all a little story about working at Boardwalk one day. Are you sitting comfortably? Good, then I will begin...</div><div> A guest who I met at Kidani Village one day told me she was a flight attendant and that she would be coming back in September and that she would come visit me and bring me some English stuff that I missed. So I was working in Boardwalk one day when this lady, who I didn't recognise, came up to me and said, 'Do you remember me...!?' </div><div>So I said, 'Errrrrrr yes, of course.....' '.....'</div><div>Then she gave me a bag full of 4, that's right FOUR, big bars of Cadburys! Wooooo! Amazing! She said she went to Kidani first but they told her I was working at the Boardwalk so she went all the way there and walked through all of the shops until she eventually found me, in the last shop! My own piece of Disney Magic!</div><div><br /></div><div>That's all folks!</div><div><br /></div><div>Speak soon </div><div>Nick :) xxx</div><div>...Have a little patience...</div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04656389871465504515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072177969184292590.post-53247331024228785852009-10-02T17:34:00.002+01:002009-10-02T17:40:18.319+01:00A little Walky to the Boardwalk(y)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;

It looks good short.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Sooooo I've been deployed to the Boardwalk the last couple of weeks and today is my last day there! Oh my!</div><div><div><br /></div><div>I have been working in a couple of locations along there: On The Boardwalk (the red waistcoat costume) and ESPN Club. On The Boardwalk is a large shop with different sections, including a really nice watch selection, but all of them are REALLY SLOOOOWWW! I've worked a few day shifts, starting early, and during the day literally no one comes in.</div><div><br /></div><div>I also worked at ESPN Club which is the shop attached to the ESPN restaurant.......Yeah Sports! It's basically an arcade. Which is quite cool as we get a small card giving us free plays. Now I know what you're thinking, 'Nick, I bet you just spent all day playing arcade games instead of working didn't you?' And you would be right. Hey there's not much else to do there! </div><div>The funniest thing about working here was when REAL Americans came in and were asking if we had a hat for the Cincinnati Reds or some tiny college football team or some other random baseball or silly American sport that no-one else plays and I would say I'm English, I have no idea. haha sometimes anyway.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>AnYwAy tomorrow I'm starting at Disneys Contemporary Resort (as shown below, not my picture). It's the one with the monorail running through it...great, won't get annoyed with the sound of that every 5 minutes. Should be fun though as one shop there has a really nice view over the lake.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 334px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJGdSKKsvlVUPhnoRp-8W-hBxzpM8J7AI1YEP7CXaF__7Ol0o3yxX_ADw-SSqjbqdFkRdrRLIPHWH5F_fTmNF7RxJnDe5NPpAQ8EI0x9ranUtPEBBlaqhPSRFSB0eYdmZXWYYlKx7KctKu/s400/contemporary_exterior_pr.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375617893056480594" /></div><div><br /></div><div>So there you go!

They have really tasty small cakes called Zebra Domes which are filed with cream...Goo-ood!

He is your typical American from Ohio and he and his wife Judith have both worked in the shop together since it opened.</div><div><br /></div><div>In other news, how good was Wimbledon! I finally found a way to watch it online, LIVE! (sorry Tom, ESPN360 didn't work!) NBC sports was showing it, shame I only found it with a few days left! Welldone Murray I thought he did very well, and what an incredible last set in the final!</div><div><br /></div><div>The last couple of days I have been working in Johari Treasures which is the smaller, much quieter shop in the Kidani Village half of the resort open only to Disney Vacation Club members. Although having a much better view of the animals, it is tiny in comparison and I find it much more boring working here as it just doesn't receive anyway near the same number of guests. But I'm only here for a few more days so I'm happy!</div><div><br /></div><div>Good news as well is that a girl from Essex has just started called Sangeeta so I've got another English person to talk to!</div><div><br /></div><div>Hope everyone's well!</div><div><br /></div><div>Nick</div><div>xX</div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04656389871465504515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072177969184292590.post-15652231223574560282009-06-22T16:30:00.005+01:002009-06-22T20:45:20.616+01:00I miss Wimbledon and English stuff<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4YmZ5UJBWVBpTpmdIRoiaXB0aObPYLHm29Ajb_fodrWRrQcATtxCXlpk49URWellb_ivD49QZ45RBaYhGbi8G2vdkiylxnm76zzGP4Vm-ncv3hKpv2ZMydcsHaSbN0aZmQptAE5pYcc4q/s1600-h/5096_93437663742_776258742_1974889_4840393_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4YmZ5UJBWVBpTpmdIRoiaXB0aObPYLHm29Ajb_fodrWRrQcATtxCXlpk49URWellb_ivD49QZ45RBaYhGbi8G2vdkiylxnm76zzGP4Vm-ncv3hKpv2ZMydcsHaSbN0aZmQptAE5pYcc4q/s320/5096_93437663742_776258742_1974889_4840393_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350235880605771714" /></a><div><br /></div>Oh so I was looking through the BBC website and realised Wimbledon is starting! Does anyone know how I can watch it? Iplayer doesn't work here! Noooooo! Also Deal or No Deal, I need some English things!<div><br /></div><div>Otherwise the last few days have been quite fun, I have finished training now (so no excuses for being bad!) but I think I've got the hang of most things. I'm just heading off to work in a while until 0030 then tomorrow I have a HUGE shift-in at 0500 until 1330 then back in at 1830 until 0030! Is that legal?! I just had to request a bus as they don't run that early in the morning, they are collecting me at 0350! Arrrgghh!</div><div><br /></div><div>Anywizzle, we went to the Magic Kingdom again the other day and found some nice mickey toys (as shown in picture!) Apparently we get discounts for skydiving as cast members as well...</div><div><br /></div><div>I want to say hello to Mama, Papa, Becca and congratulations to Emily for your results! Have fun and make sure you all take lots of photos at Wimbledon! </div><div><br /></div><div>I think I'm eating ok. It seems to be one healthy meal, then an unhealthy one. We did go out for a nice meal the other night though to a place called Paneras. </div><div><br /></div><div>Right I'm going to go and have a cup of tea and get ready for work now so speak soooon!</div><div><br /></div><div>Nick</div><div>kiss kiss</div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04656389871465504515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072177969184292590.post-80588261816401405832009-06-13T23:14:00.012+01:002009-07-30T06:44:33.879+01:00<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUjRMOw_WAwZQ4T7ezAgZSmwUOQz3cu1MNyamEsNtC3gYX5tNhF6KoVtgo0L4mObUgMX0tT9UzR8oX_yiByPmO7wg6dcBKDq-FRDTxhfLueabAZ5l5ppZt7clauOokuuve_dhY-JbbK94o/s1600-h/SNV10210.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUjRMOw_WAwZQ4T7ezAgZSmwUOQz3cu1MNyamEsNtC3gYX5tNhF6KoVtgo0L4mObUgMX0tT9UzR8oX_yiByPmO7wg6dcBKDq-FRDTxhfLueabAZ5l5ppZt7clauOokuuve_dhY-JbbK94o/s320/SNV10210.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346939692700841186" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center; ">Holy smokes people I'm so sorry for the late postage but we have now, hopefully, got a reliable source of interwebbing so should be able to provide more reliable posts! So to break this down I have now been here 9 days ONLY and it has flown by, we seemed to have fit so much stuff into this short space of time! To make it easier I will start from the day we got there:</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div><b>Sunday 7th June:</b></div><div>Okkkkk so today we arrived! Woo........and it was raining! After making the most of the complimentary wine and drinks on board the flight we had to wait a good couple of hours for the Mears shuttle to the Vista Way Complex. However it was a good wait and together with Harriet, Grivas, Nick, Kat and Tom we eventually got to the apartments and we found our flat in Patterson Court, which is the newest, cleanest and nicest (in my opinion) complex! </div><div>I'm actually sharing the flat with Nick, Grivas, Tom, Stuart (from Northern Ireland) and Mikel (from Turkey). The flat is really good and has the largest microwave ever!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Monday 8th June:</b></div><div>Today not much happened apart from a couple of meetings then looking around the Orlando Premium Mall, lots of bargains down there folks, hanging by the pool and meeting lots of people around our area. I brought some discount stuff from the Disney outlet shop there including a Buzz Lightyear t-shirt for $8!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday 9th June:</b></div><div>We were up for yet more endless meetings at 8 today. Firstly it was the housing meeting (I swear Americans can just talk for ages about seemingly not very large topics) then we had a talk from International Recruitment. These finished around 4ish then we found out where we were going to be working (I think it was today anyway) and I received my role in Merchandise at the Zawadi Marketplace in the Animal Kingdom Lodge! Cooool eh?!</div><div>Afterwards we ended up meeting some Americans from the flats downstairs and about 20 of us all went to Downtown Disney and ate at the new T-Rex restaurant which was quite nice (large portions though, like everywhere else!)</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Wednesday 10th June:</b></div><div>Up at 6 for the bus at 6.40 to Disney University for the infamous Traditions class. This just involves a recap of the history of Disney and a quick overview of the standards/health&safety/etc we are expected to reach...'Safe D begins with me!' </div><div>BUUUTTTT we also received the legendary Disney nametag (see pictures in the slideshow below, note the typo 'Seven oaks'!) and we got the cast member ID enabling us to literally LOADS of discounts on Disney Merchandise, meals, Disney Cruiseline, etc. Woo! Oh and it gives us access to the parks for free! Double Woo!</div><div>Obviously we weren't going to waste anytime in going straight to the Magic Kingdom as cast members for the first time, so we went to Wal-Mart first and spent $380 between the four of us! It was worth it as we got all the essentials. We then went to Magic Kingdom and stayed until closing, seeing the Wishes fireworks and going on all the big 'uns!haha</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thursday 11th June:</b></div><div>First day of class at 8 until 12. Luckily it's at Patterson Court so didn't have to get a bus anywhere. It was a good class actually, quite interesting learning in a different classroom environment (believe it or not we had play-doh on our desk!) and I'm the only English person in the class!haha </div><div>That afternoon/evening 'the gang' went to Hollywood Studios (I think it's now my favourite park). We went on Tower of Terror and Aerosmith which are soo fun!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Friday 12th June:</b></div><div>Today was meant to be the first day of training at Animal Kingdom Lodge (AKL), so I got up at 6.45 to get in by 8.30, but when I got there I hung around for half an hour without anyone appearing so after talking to security and quickly visiting the shop we found out that I was meant to be in on Sunday for training, although no one had given me this new, updated schedule! That was annoying as it wasted that whole morning!</div><div>That evening we saw some of the Mexicans from inductions, who are living near us, and just chilled out with them for the night.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday 13th June:</b></div><div>Another day, another early morning as I was up at 6.45 again for 8.30 at AKL. There was an orientation session around the resort and it was good fun meeting all the cast and others who were also starting at the same time as me, surprising amount of people from Guatemala. </div><div>After this we all went to the Animal Kingdom Wardrobe building which is HUGE! I received my lovely costume, traditional African-style shirt and khaki pants, and was back in time to go to the pool before going to Downtown Disney. We ate at Earl of Sandwich (a posh subway) then saw Up in 3D at the AMC theatre there! The animation I thought was really good and there were some really funny parts. A bit different to older Disney-Pixar films but still worth a watch.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sunday 14th June:</b></div><div>Ok my body clock is officially completely lost.</div><div>I woke at 6.15 to get in for the PROPER first day of actual training at 8. I met with Judith and she showed me round the shop and is really lovely and such a good cast member. All the cast there are always so happy and bubbly, having fun with guests and in their roles! Looks like it will be a lot of fun working there!</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Monday 15th June:</b></div><div>Up at 6.45 today to get to Disney university at 8. We had Merchantainment class (Merchandise + Entertainment!) which goes over how to use the cashier and how to make 'the show'! Merchandise is Theatre you see! This was actually quite fun, especially going through the Guest scenarios. These classes are also really good fun for meeting new people.</div><div>We went to Wal-Mart again this evening and spent a good few hours there buying food (obviously).</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div> So there you go folks, you are officially updated! After having incredibly hot and humid weather all week, I'm writing this in the middle of a Florida tropical storm. It has just turned pitch black with really hard rain and thunder and lightning have been blaring for the past hour! But I don't mind as tomorrow I have my first lie in! I start work at 15.15 until 23.45. Whoooaaaa the ground literally just shook from the lightning!Arrrghhh! </div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway should be updating more regularly now so speak to y'all later!</div><div><br /></div><div>Nick</div><div>xx</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:9px;"><p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-b4.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-b4.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="scale" value="noscale"><param name="salign" value="l"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=3458764513841430708&site=widget-b4.slide.com"></object></p><p style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=fl&id=3458764513841430708&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-b4.slide.com/p1/3458764513841430708/ms_t000_v000_s0fl_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=fl&id=3458764513841430708&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-b4.slide.com/p2/3458764513841430708/ms_t000_v000_s0fl_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=fl&id=3458764513841430708&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-b4.slide.com/p4/3458764513841430708/ms_t000_v000_s0fl_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p><p></p></span></div><div><br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div></div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04656389871465504515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072177969184292590.post-24261265230096528272009-06-06T15:03:00.003+01:002009-06-06T23:26:45.524+01:00Tomorrow the World<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:Arial;font-size:10px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:10px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; "><object width="425" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4dxigmvdSIY&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4dxigmvdSIY&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="385"></embed></object></span></span></span>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04656389871465504515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072177969184292590.post-51790594880141589292009-06-02T20:13:00.013+01:002009-06-03T23:53:33.095+01:005 days left!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO4q45wrCmlr3AcLyV-_-nyeoLez-p-hKjISkh4ElZvxDWi9Q6DUEey2vyx2iQB9694CIHU4t7h2YLdAA4w8ZXbZ4BHfd1IQNikvF-pUyhFyD-Z2ODE-YtOCuFCpDfbrs_YU9D4_ZtAHUy/s1600-h/SANY0033.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO4q45wrCmlr3AcLyV-_-nyeoLez-p-hKjISkh4ElZvxDWi9Q6DUEey2vyx2iQB9694CIHU4t7h2YLdAA4w8ZXbZ4BHfd1IQNikvF-pUyhFyD-Z2ODE-YtOCuFCpDfbrs_YU9D4_ZtAHUy/s400/SANY0033.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342870263460778594" /></a><br /><div>Hello there friends,</div><div><br /></div><div>So I meant to do this with 7 days left but kind of forgot, then one with 6 days left would have made sense but I forgot AGAIN, so 5 days left will have to do!

My appointment was at 12.30 so I arrived as stated half an hour before that time and after a lot of rummaging for various sheets and id checks I made it inside. I found it to basically be a large post office, due to the number calling and booths, with a large waiting area scattered with seats. After a quick scan, I cautiously climbed my way over the nearest row of chairs and nestled onto the first empty seat I found. I re-checked my forms AGAIN then got out my revision. Lovely.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thats right no electronic devices allowed peeps so had to resort to the good old fashioned english language and the awkward beauty of small talk with fellow Visa applicants. Luckily my number was soon called but to my dismay this first checkpoint was only to make sure my form-filling-in abilities were up to scratch (which they nearly were apart from leaving the Name any Countries that have Issued you a Passport question blank...errrrr...UK duh!) Soon after I found myself a nice new plastic chair and hunkered down for the great wait, which, as we all now, means a great opportunity to people watch! Then I saw Grivas over the other side of the room so I made my way over to him. Not long after our numbers were called and it was time for the Interview! Happy days.</div><div><br /></div><div>Literally lasted about 30 seconds. Then I paid the courier fee and I have now been reliably informed that passport with Visa has been delivered! 'Woot' I believe is the expression.</div><div><br /></div><div>Noowwwww I just need to pay the Program Assessment Fee, get the medical insurance, book the transportation from Orlando airport and...PACK! 16 days from now!! </div><div><br /></div><div>Oh and I also selected my classes for the summer term. 1st choice is Creativity and Innovation: Gaining the Edge (oooooh), 2nd choice is Experiential Learning (ahhhhhh).</div><div><br /></div><div>Also finished all uni exams now so I guess technically does this mean I am a second year?...just something for you to think about...that's your homework for next time.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you're well. Good bye. Love ya.</div><div><br /></div><div>Nick xX</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04656389871465504515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072177969184292590.post-89615418348821082382009-04-29T00:57:00.004+01:002009-04-29T12:28:48.884+01:00Disney International Programs: A World of Opportunity<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo9OyogE_RDdQpZlJHc2xBZTwnx0LMEqApp406kE7oA2kbnhGk808OgHFU_P65smYCo8rgGNWmzM1LxS-Vzx6pOeUotQTEersapW4EUCejfcXnyoRxVgUDIYfuX1HfKkE35tp1ggfHXHhp/s1600-h/Photo+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo9OyogE_RDdQpZlJHc2xBZTwnx0LMEqApp406kE7oA2kbnhGk808OgHFU_P65smYCo8rgGNWmzM1LxS-Vzx6pOeUotQTEersapW4EUCejfcXnyoRxVgUDIYfuX1HfKkE35tp1ggfHXHhp/s400/Photo+3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329896421645293458" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>There she is Ladies and Gentlemen.

(The Disney information pack we're talking about here, not me). <div><br /></div><div>I received it in the post yesterday and wasn't really expecting it for a while so was quite cool to open up the letter and see it! But anyway its basically just PROPERLY confirming my acceptance on the program with a letter from Disney and a load of information about earning ($7.21 an hour), learning, living, etc. Also the 't's & c's' (apparently gambling OR sleeping while on duty are not allowed...does that mean we can do one of them?!)(If anyone from Disney is reading this then I'm only joking! Don't terminate me!)</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh also there is a page about the Disney Look guidelines! Always a good read, now I just need to grow a moustache so that I can trim it in line with the guidelines! Other than that there is a parent fact sheet (yes I will be in a 'Wellness' apartment, so no alcohol for me) and basically it's just quite exciting! Still no word on visa numbers yet though...</div><div><br /></div><div>Annnnyyyway...I'm going to bust a groove now so have a nice day!</div><div><br /></div><div>Nick</div><div>xX</div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04656389871465504515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072177969184292590.post-48194648962643703342009-04-27T20:07:00.002+01:002009-04-27T20:10:05.063+01:00Watch this!!!... haha im only joking, got you!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; white-space: pre; "><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pbXtO_1GwWQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pbXtO_1GwWQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></span>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04656389871465504515noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072177969184292590.post-33493538742604662009-04-16T11:42:00.002+01:002009-04-16T11:50:46.580+01:00Who knew blogging could be so fun? ...Well hello there trusty follower<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(s)</span>,<div><br /></div><div>Ummmm first things first I would like to say a great big 'hello' to Jack Holden (he's a thespian don't 'cha no) and u can read all about his enjoyable escapades here: <i><a href="http://jackholdenactor.blogspot.com/">http://jackholdenactor.blogspot.com/</a> </i>...Who'd have thought it?
