In the beginning....

...Walt created a mouse. What can I say? I love Disney so much. And when I say love, I don't mean I've seen a few movies, and I like to ride the rides when I go. I mean my day doesn't feel complete without spreading a little Disney magic in the true Disney tradition. Kindness. But this is no random love, oh no.

It all started when I was very young. I was born with a hearing impediment that required multiple surgeries and ultimately reduced my hearing to almost non-existence until I was five; meaning I could hear very little, and what I did hear was very painful and confusing to me. My life was coloring books and my imagination. I would color pictures of Ariel, Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White, and just marvel. I didn’t know the stories, but I would imagine I was the pretty girls I was coloring. When I was five, I had my final surgery to restore my hearing and I was able to watch my first movie (I could, in fact speak, just no clearly. I spoke what I heard). My first movie was The Little Mermaid. You can just imagine my wonderment in seeing my coloring book characters right there, telling me their story and singing to me. Through my recovery all I did was watch Disney movies. And thus, in my five year old mind, Disney healed me.
Since that moment, Disney had held a special magic meant just for me. This summer my hearing began to leave me again, but luckily the doctors were able to reverse the effect of the implants to make my hearing even better. Again, Disney was with me the entire month I was in bed. It was then that I knew that this magic truly was meant to be shared.

I learned about the Disney College Internship and knew that I had to go for it (www.wdwcollegeprogram.com). I looked at everything, called the recruiters to ask a few questions, and applied. I viewed the E-Presentation, and then went through my interview. I spent three nervous weeks trying not to think about it. I spend hours praying about God’s will in this for me, and then I received His answer yesterday.

I AM GOING TO DISNEY!!!!

I though I might explain a few things for other interested in this program. You have many options on when you go. Such options include: Spring, Spring Advantage, Spring Advantage Quarter, Fall, and Fall Advantage. Here is a little outline for each. Spring is from early January to May. Spring Advantage (the program I chose) is from late January to early August. Spring Advantage Quarter is from March/April to early August. Fall is from August to December. Fall Advantage is from March/April to December.

So I don’t want to make this too long. I will just make separate posts of the different topics so you can learn a little more about this program I am so excited about.

By the way, I LEAVE JANUARY 21!!!
