Hello All,

Today is a goooood day because.......MY WELCOME PACK ARRIVED!!!!!

I was literally tooooo excited, it comes in a pretty Disney folder, with a posh Disney look book outlining the rules on appearance.....i have to take my piercings out :( Then the best part is the OFFICIAL OFFER LETTER from DISNEY.....outlining your job what you may be doing and how much you will get paid.....i think mine was $7.85 or something like that anyways. So this is all very exciting!!!

But the most important part is the visa shizzz.... a lot of stuff to do!!! So im a briefly outline this, so y'all no what you may have to do if any of you apply :)

So first is going online and paying the SERVIS fee which is $35, you fill in a brief form and pay, then most importantly print out your receipt! Then you can go ahead and call the embassy to arrange your appointment, i have chosen London as this is nearest to me, so on the phone (one of those expensive numbers!!) i was on there for around 5-10 minuets, the operator takes some details from you, most of which can be found on the forms Disney send you, but you will also need your passport handy, be aware you have to pay for your appointment so once its booked you pay $140 over the phone, then you get an email confirmation of all this, which again you must print out, the operator at the end of the call asked me to say hi to goofy for him!!! haha So that's done now comes the time consuming part filing in the DS-160 form online...takes agess and they want to know everything about you!!! all sorts of numbers etc......you will again need your passport, all the forms Disney sent you and the ones you just printed out.......its not a hard form its just very very long.....so make sure you dont have to be anywhere...and be warned they will need a photo (mine is hideous) and there are a lot of rules regarding the photo!!..... again after this print it out!!!

The embassy have lots of stupid rules, #1 no electronic devices in the building at all inc.your mobile phone!! #2 no cuts or blisters on your fingers (for fingerprinting) #3 they do like airport security so dont bring any thing that will go off especially as they have no lockers or anything... the list goes on!!!

So my appointment is booked for april, so far thats all i can do.

The other day i purchased my travel insurance which cost me £44, how it works is disney have a medical insurance plan which you pay $100 to be covered medically whist working for them, so the travel insurance is for my medical when im travelling and for my possessions etc...whilst there :)

Still waiting for my hoody...im hoping this will arrive soon :)

I think that is all for now ..

85days to go :)

Ok,

So turns out i can be quite forgetful about things I've done so far!

One of the first things was the £60 CRB check, which I'm assuming i passed as ive not heard anything!!

Luckily there was a great fb group made where me and other participants have been chatting and turns out there are loads of people on my flight too, as well as the friend i made at the interviews who we booked flights together anyway!!!

Below are some of the emails that have literally made me excited beyond belief! Haha the next time i have that smile will either be when my welcome pack arrives or my hoody!!!!!

i cant wait to get going on my role of Attractions!

Hello :)

This is my first post and my first blog!

I'm here to share my Disney international college program experience.

So I am from England and will be leaving for Florida in June.

So with it being February, there is lots to do....

It all started when i applied for the program through 'yummy jobs' in September, I had my first group interview in the Oct/Nov then my final duo interview in Nov. Then i was accepted into the role of 'Operations'.

The next step was booking flights, which i think cost me around £600.

There is still lots i need to do such as buy medical insurance, get my visa.....etc

I paid my program assessment fee yesterday which was $104, I'm also ordering my Disney cast hoody today!!! Which I'm very excited about.

So the next thing I'm waiting for is my welcome pack!!! Which i hope comes soon.

This first post is quite boring, as I'm not in Florida yet, i guess there is not much to say!!

Will keep it updated!
