It's almost been exactly a month since I was accepted into the Disney College Program at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. As most of you know, I was accepted for Spring Advantage 2017 in the role of Attractions. I won't know my location or park until arrival, but I can tell you that with each passing day, I get more and more excited for January to come, for the adventures I'm going to have, for the memories I get to make and the endless amount of magic I get to create for guests every single day.
For those that aren't aware, every person who does the DCP usually creates what we call a "bucket list" of items, adventures, or things they want to accomplish before the end of the program. I've begun thinking about mine, and I think this is a pretty good start. I'm hoping to add more items, but for now, there are about 25 items I hope to accomplish within the 8 months I'm there (January 23rd-August 3rd) with roommates, the FamBam (love ya'll!), friends from school, solo, and anyone else in between. Here we go...
1. Four parks, one day.
2. See all the rope drop shows for all parks.
3. Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream (with roommates or the fam!)
4. Meet as many characters as possible.
5. Stay at a park from opening to close.
6. See every night time show.
7. Take a photo in each park's "icon."
8. Disneybound with friends!
9. Do every single ride in every park at least once.
10. Eat at as many restaurants as possible.
11. Get a dole whip at least once!
12. Have at least one reservation every few weeks with roommates or the fam!
13. DRINK AROUND THE WORLD!
14. Try every buffet on property!
15. Do character dining (Crystal Palace, 1900 Park Fare, Chef Mickey's...)
16. See all the parades!
17. Take a picture with every Disney Princess!
18. Witness a proposal
19. Celebrate my birthday (March 30th) in the parks!
20. Spend a holiday in the parks!
21. Attend Flower and Garden Festival in Epcot!
22. Celebrity sighting!
23. Collect celebration buttons!
24. Buy souvenirs throughout the program!
25. Watch Kiss Goodnight at Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom.
26. (BONUS): Be the last person out of all four parks at least once!
And with that, it's 101 days to go... 3 months, 9 days! I can't wait to get started, to get this journey going and to accomplish all of these off my bucket list!
