Hello Everybody,
So I wanted to give everyone an update on what has been going on the past couple of days. On Tuesday the 26th, I headed to LaGuardia airport in NYC and flew to Orlando at 10:30am. The flight was fine and one of the more comfortable flights I've been on. AND I didn't freak out as much as I used to. The funny part of the flight was that because of my nut allergy they separated me and my mom from the rest of the flight so I wouldn't have a reaction which we thought was hysterical because there was literally a wall separating us from the rest of the plane. We then arrived to the hotel and met up with Natalia and Brianna and went shopping to Ikea and Super Target to get some last minute things. After that, my mom went back to the hotel while Nat and I took Brianna to Downtown Disney and then we picked up Brittany after a tour of Celebration to go to the Jan 26th dinner.
The dinner, was great we met a lot of people I got to meet Karen and Robby and a lot of other people who I only knew through Facebook. So it was great to see everybody. Then while some people went to Downtown Disney to hang out I went back to the hotel to relax after a long day. The next day Wednesday Jan 27th, was our check in date. We all woke up at 5:30 to head over to Vista Way and were one of the first people there and when it was time to check in Brittany and I ran with the crowd and ended being first in line and we got what we wanted: a 2 bedroom in Chatham. The apartment is amazing and huge.
After check in, we waited for the bus to go to casting where we got our job placements, background check, etc at several different stations. After casting, all the roommates and Robby had lunch at Panera and then we headed over to the mandatory housing meeting at The Commons which was extremely long and kind of boring. After that, we went to Walmart and bought a ton of groceries for the apartment. We then hung out at the apartment for the rest of the night.
Today, Thursday Jan 28th, is our off day so we get to do whatever we want. So Nat is awesome and wanted to cook us lunch and then we are all going to Walmart again to decorate our room. Then we are going to a welcome party at Chatham and then who knows. Tomorrow Jan 29th, is Traditions which is an orientation to the company where we get our name tags, and park passes. Then Jan 30th, is the start of our training for me which will be for Downtown Disney attractions. I am very excited and am very excited to get started. That's all for now and I will post again soon.
Have A Magical Day,
Elise :-)

Goodbye New York!!!
Hey Everybody,
So I figured I'd do a little goodbye blog before I leave for Disney tomorrow! It has been a long wait but it's finally here and I am so THRILLED and EXCITED I can't contain myself! I am a little nervous, and a little sad because I will be leaving my house in New York for good because my family will be moving to Georgia while I'm in Disney. But other than that, it is all excitement. Tomorrow I get to meet my wonderful roommates Brianna, Natalia and Brittany. I have been talking to them constantly and am so excited to meet them all. Tomorrow, I leave at 8am to go to the airport for a 10:00am flight. I should be getting to Orlando around 1:00pm. Then I will meet the roommates and we are all going to go to Ikea to shop for our apartment! Then of course is the Jan 27th meet up dinner at the Ale House! I can't wait to meet everyone there as well!
So the rundown for the rest of the week is Wednesday is check in where I get my apartment and I find out where i'm going to be working! Then Thursday is our day off and we are trying to go see Blue Man Group at Universal Studios! And then on Friday I believe is Traditions! It will be a very busy but exciting week and I can't wait to get it started! So that's all for now and I will probably write a short blog again on Wednesday on how everything went!
Have A Magical Day!!!

TOMORROW!!!!

Because I'm Bored...
Hello Everybody,
So I feel like I haven't updated in a long time and am bored so I thought a blog was called for! So first here is an update on how break has been going...So it's been going pretty well so far actually. I got all my grades in and they are all A's and B's which is great and I'm pretty happy with them considering I juggled 5 classes with 2 internships and a show all at the same time...yay multitasking. Let's just say however, I will never do 2 internships at once ever again...wayyy too crazy. However, I loved both very much. So enough rambling, I have been hanging out with a lot of friends before I leave for Disney. As mentioned in previous posts, the gang saw Next to Normal last Saturday. We got to see the understudy for Natalie (Meghann Fahy) which is the understudy I really wanted to see. And she was fantastic. Here is a video of her singing one of my favorite songs in the show "Superboy and the Invisible Girl" at the "At This Performance" concert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnR92jVR6PE. I highly encourage you to check it out!
So since then, there has been more hanging out and a lot of spending time with my mom and brother who are both home as well. In between, I have been doing a lot of writing as well as I have taken a step back from writing my fantasy novel and have started writing a book of short stories. So I will continue to work on that for the rest of break and throughout Disney when I have time. So definitely keep an eye out for that in the near future.
So that is all the updates for now, but I will be updating again with a packing blog when I get more things together...Talk to you all soon!
Have A Magical Day!
