My DCP Experience

Thank you to Walt, for giving me this opportunity to live and work in one of my favorite places in the world. For creating the mouse that I’ve been lucky enough to call my boss. 

Thank you to my roommates (and honorary roommates), for being the greatest people I could have imagined having the pleasure of living with since August. For making my first “away from home” experience absolutely amazing. For dinner dates. For fastpasses. For 2am chats after an exhausting day at work. For becoming my family.

Thank you to “the boys”, for the random adventures to God knows where. For giving me countless fits of ab pains from laughing hysterically with you. For snide comments and “well, well, hi!” phone introductions. For “ju ju ju ju ju ju”. For dancing like Sorcerer Mickey. For being my brothers.

Thank you to my Stands West family, for making the first quarter and the last quarter of my program amazing. For singing along to Festival of Fantasy and Wishes with me. For numerous occasions closing. For roasting in the CDS room by Sleepy’s. For all the Magical Moments. For making my experience in Magic Kingdom manageable (considering I was dreading it when I found out that I’d be there). For being cast members I looked forward to seeing at work.

Thank you to my Food & Wine family, for making being deployed in less than a month perfect. For making running the bullet through the World Showcase after Illuminations so entertaining. For shouting CHEWTINI with me. For “all day, all day all day all daaaaay, all daaaay, all daaaay”. For truffle trains. For avoiding bees at Wine Studio. For learning the correct way to pronounce tuna poke and gyro. For being amazing people to work with on a whim in the short-but-sweet festival.

Thank you to the Mighty Ducks, for being the biggest group of misfits I could have been lucky enough to play in the Donald league with. For walk off wins weekly. For mercy rules. For our chick-fil-a adventure. For the picture war in our group. For kicking butt during playoffs (even if two of the teams we were supposed to play forfeited). For miscounting quacks before games. For making me look forward to playing on Tuesday nights even after an exhausting shift. 

I’m now on day 3 of living in my new apartment in Chatham Square with ALL of the roommates I was hoping for, including the ones I had to split from! We’re so excited to have still ended up together.

I found out I will be working Stands West in Magic Kingdom! While I still don’t know completely where that means, I know I’ll be in either Frontierland, Adventureland, or Liberty Square! I’m so excited that I’ll be working near the castle and I’ll get to frequent the utilidors.

My Traditions class is tomorrow afternoon and I’m hoping to get to see Wishes just afterward. Two of roommates & I are planning to go to Magic Kingdom in the morning on Friday and meet the other two who have training at Hollywood Studios in the afternoon to end our day seeing Fantasmic (which I’ve never seen)!
