How the Time Flies

 
        What a journey this program has been so far!  I feel like I wake up, immediately start my day, work, sleep, then start all over again... and I love it!  This busy schedule has made it difficult for me to update as often as I would like however I am going to try to be more diligent.  That being said, I am having so much fun at my job.  Working at Space Mountain is pretty stressful considering we have people's safety in our hands at all times!  It is so much fun, though, working with other CPs and learning how to be professional and show ready in a safety critical environment.  Disney has such a high standard for every aspect of even the simplest jobs that makes me believe excellence can be found in any work place! 

       When I am not working, my days are full of park and resort visits, golfing, and spending time with friends.  I have taken time to experience all four of Disney's parks and still feel like there is so much to do!  Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios, a water/stage show, is probably one of my favorite attractions in Walt Disney World.  Space Mountain is also definitely growing on me.  I have even been privileged to ride it with the lights on!  It is an experience that very few get to have and gives you a whole new look at the ride itself.  Many people don't realize how slow the roller coaster actually goes which is a whopping 27 mph!   

      I have also made a few trips to the Disney golf courses.  For CPs to get to the courses, we either have to drive or take a bus to the Polynesian resort where we walk another 15 minutes to the clubhouse.  Having a cast member discount makes playing and practicing a lot more affordable!  The greens aren't in great shape but the aerating doesn't help that much.  I am looking forward to playing more with other CPs and getting the full effect of the wildlife and nature that Florida courses have to offer!

       One of the best things about this program are all the friends I have met so far!   I have found myself surrounded by people from Minnesota, Kentucky, Michigan, New York, and even Hawaii!  They come from all over but somehow our cultures combine divinely.  My roommates are absolutely spectacular and I can't explain how lucky I am to have found a group of girls so easy to live with!  Beyond that, the friends I have made through work and the various Disney events have added so much to this program!  I had such high expectations coming into the Disney College Program and have already found them far exceeded!
