Fairy Godmailers

Okay so if you have ever been on passporters disscussion boards and the Disboards you have probably seen or heard a few things about the FairyGodmailers. maybe not. I dont know how i feel about getting Fairy Godmailers from people but i think it would be fun to be a fairygodmailer. So I probably will. Im going to think of ideaas before I make this offical. But I really like sending mail and imagining peoples reactions when the fainally get there mail. I enjoy making the mail and getting people ready for there trip might be exciting. So Im going to ponder over this. Maybe. I dont know i have so many things i would like to do that i should probably consider making a list of all the ideas i have. Which i know i have been saying for awhile its just that I find stuff that i like I want to do it. So we will see. maybe i will ask people to be my fairygodmailer until i get to disney. Maybe not. I just like the idea of doing nice things for other people not really having other people do nice things for me. hmm... Ponder ponder ponder.

MK Trivia // Savenger Hunt

I really like finding out random trivia. I also like the idea of having an adventure to go on. This is an adventure and random trivis thing all in one. I found this whole roaming the interwebs for savenger hunts and regular hunts to do. People seem to be in search of these things but never able to find them.. Why? Passporter's apparently has a really good treasure hunt book for the parks and resorts but I dont know Maybe if i can find it used i will be more interested. But here is the trivia question that are available to annual passholders to win a prize. Im just providing it for fun.

More things to do when your broke:

so i have this list of inexpensive and free things to do while waiting to go to disney or while you are there. i thought i would provide you with that wonderful list since it is basically a wonderful list.
as of tight now i have no idea how this is going to be split up but i guess i would start with...

I Know I know....

I know i know i said i wasnt going to audition for a character role and im not during my CP but thats doesnt mean a girl cant dream. I mean honestly every girl dreams of being able to dance in the beautiful outfits you see them in. For me I know that there are some roles i just cant do at all but my top 3 face characters that i would enjoy. and then the two i would like but dont think i could do worth a penny.

1. Wendy - First off wendy's look are all across the board and i can act smittened
2. Alice - I can act confused and interested really well. Most of the time i am.
3. Tink - umm she is curious and im curious and she is real expressive. If you dont know me well. i seem to be know for my reactions.

4. Belle
5. Cinderella.

so thats that. Hopefully i would be in the right height range for alice and wendy... who i believe are around the same. I just think think it would be a fun part time gig.

:) so my speech about tink made me think of when bryant and i went to 1900 park fare and they waitress brought my birthday cupcake. the same cupcake that she brings everyone on my birthday and she almost fell over laughing with my reaction to the cupcake. My thoughts are hello you just delivered one of my favorite things. with mickey and i wasnt expecting it and it was actually mt birthday and you didnt embaress me by singing. Can i hug you now!? i probably would have asked if i wasnt so excited about my cupcake. Oh and if you want to make my day a better one one of three things can be delivered to my door step... or all three. Balloons,cupcakes, and flowers with an interesting display.

anyways. thats the characters. thats the story. I would probably help plan isabellas trip to disney if i were a face character too. gosh that little tyke is my favorite. :)

Applications

So applications for spring 2011 went up earlier this week. Sad Face. Only 4/5 months until fall applications are up. When I watched the E-Presentation and why did i forget how lame it is. but it was a nice little refresher in the waiting game. Golly what a wait. So it was sort of just a waste of 45 minutes since i dont even want to consider applying because if i failed the web based interview i wouldnt be able to apply for 6 months. but its okay i would rather wait to 150 some odd days as long as i dont have to wait 180. Gahhh. Anyways. I just needed to rant about the funny presentation video and how i want to apply so badly but at the same time dont. So im going to enjoy the flordia rains and watch a movie.

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) - Event held at the Magic Kingdom during the months of September and October. Universal holds a more thrill-filled version while Disneys Halloween events are more fun-filled then thrill based. Disney normally does not allow guest to wear a costume if they are older that 9 years old but during the party you are allowed to dress up. Signing autographs is still against the rules of the party.
A special map is distrubited during this party to show you the different Trick or Treat candy locations. Other special features during this party include A special parade, special meet and greet locations, and special stageshows. Of course there are halloween themed fireworks to add to fun filled night. Oh and there are special photopass locations where you can take pictures with ghost and other random things.
Cast Members recieve discounts on certian party dates. And tickets can be purchased at any company D location.

Auditions/ Entertainment

Everyone lately seems to have this desire to audition. I dont. Atleast not yet. My feelings are this. I want to do the program in a non - entertainment role. Entertainment includes Character Attendants, Costuming, and Character Performers. When I worked in Entertainment before it required me to get to work by 6am. Which ment if i took the buses i had to catch the 5am bus which really ment I was up at 415. I am not a morning person. Most of my first programm consisted of days like this. It was just not a good schedule for me. I was in Costuming and it was alot of fun when I wasnt so utterly exhausted it hurt. There were other reasons of course for this exhaustion that had nothing to do with working but in either case I would really prefer a job that didnt require me to be at work so darn early. Soooo.... This is what i was thinking with auditions.
I would audition at the end of my college program. There are many sneaky things about me wanting to do this. One If I like my work location I can go seasonal in the work location. And when i audition I would like to go part time with availability in the morning so i could take night classes and then on days that I dont have any classes I could put in availability for my CP work location. I know it seems strange but it can work and that way I would be able to work and still be in Entertainment but when i have a little bit of control over the situation. :) Happy Happy Me. Atleast if this all works out like I hope it will.

So long story short... Auditioning after the completion of my college program. and hoping to go seasonal at my work location. YAY! team.

Budget Planning

Alright so unless you have access to the Hub this post isnt very useful to you but if and when you gain access to the hub this is most definatly something you should look up...

Search: WDW only ~ College Program
Click on any of the links that have this
source: Disney College,International, and Careerstart Programs

once you have found the module dedicated to CP,ICP,CS Castmembers scroll down to the section that is Additional Resources and FAQ's. there should be links bulleted under that section. Look for the link that says Time and Money Organizer

this link is very helpful once you figure out what you need to fill in. I use to be able to enter in the complex i was living in and the number of rooms and then then number of hours i worked a day and the pay rate. At the end of the form i would find out what i would be paid after taxes and after rent... give or take a few cents.
While on your program you should definalty give it a try I found ti very helpful in figuring out how much money i had to play around with and I have a feeling it will be very helpful when it comes to saving money. Hope this tip was helpful. -CB

Adventure to the mouse.

I know this is really premature but i am just in the kind of mood to explain how going to disney would go about. This is how the adventure would go if it were up to me. Which it probably will be :) The first leg of the adventure would be from Bryant's house with all of our stuff. To my mothers house to get my important paperwork that i might not have. and then finally to orlando. In the middle in jacksonville i would like to schedule an appointment with the cardiologist so that can really say that according to the doctors everything is alright. SOOO.
The First Leg: would be from tallahassee to Jacksonville (about 2 hours and 40 minutes)
The Second Leg: would be from jacksonville to orlando (about 2 hours and 50 minutes)

There are many different factors to when we would go and where we would stay and what we would do. So when the time is a little closer i will have an official game plan and let you know but since i have until the middle of spring semister to figure it out i dont see this being a problem :) oh PS


We = Bryant and Myself.
