About Me

Hi guys, My first post will be coming soon and it will be about the interview and acceptance process for the Disney Cultural Program for Australia and New Zealand. But first up I want to tell you a little bit about me.

My names Tash and I’m from the Sunshine Coast in Australia, I love all things Harry Potter, Doctor Who and of course Disney. I’m currently nineteen but I’ll be twenty when I start my program which means according to Disney I’ll be wellness (under 21). I’m a Slytherin, sorted officially by the sorting hat and honestly Universal Studios in Orlando is the best trip I ever took. Immersing myself in Harry Potter world and really feeling like I was in Diagon Ally and Hogsmeade is an experience that was truly indescribable, but if you have any questions about it please hit me up and I’ll do my best to answer.

I’m also pansexual, I lean heavily towards girls though. Not that it matters because I found the love of my life a year ago and I’ve never looked back. We’re all but married at this point and she’s the best thing that ever happened to me. If all goes well, this blog might even detail our first in person meeting.

That’s all from me for now but stay tuned because I’ll be updating with the application, interview and acceptance process from Disney real soon.

I found out my role location!

I’ll be working at Calypso Trading, which is in the Caribbean Beach Resort. 

Whilst I was a little disappointed (aka: cried on a ferry in the middle of the day) about not getting a role in a park, I’ve come around to the idea.  

Sarah and I have discussed at length the reasons why we weren’t put in the parks and have decided it came solely down to luck. Going into this program, you know not everyone can get placed at Magic Kingdom, you just don’t expect it to be you who misses out. 

Whilst it’s kind of a bummer coming all the way from Australia and not getting placed in a park, here is a list of all the great things about working in the resorts! 

Going to the parks won’t feel like going to work 

Better hours 

More relaxed environment to learn in 

Opportunities to have ongoing interactions with guests because they’ll come in multiple times over their stay    

AIR CONDITIONING  

My costume is actually super cute and swishy (We think. I’ll get back to you.) 

Can still pick up shifts in the parks 

Will be fully trained in alcohol & tobacco, so I can work anywhere in Disney 

More chances to make Magic Moments 

Get to hang out with potentially hot resort lifeguards (this one is VERY IMPORTANT)
