How to pass the time, badly.

Ok, so I decided to do a new post, so that I post about 2 times a month before heading out to Orlando (and I still can't believe I can say that). Some exciting things have happened since I last posted so hopefully there'll be a little more to chat about!

Well, the biggest and best news is that more people have got off the waitlist (god knows how they organise who gets off the list and when, although apparently it's something to do with judging staffing levels for the season?). Anyway, there's a couple more people with the same start date as me, that I know of. So congrats to Tori and Jenna if you're reading this! Jenna's on the same flight as me which is good because it means that I won't be hanging round Gatwick on my own, will have someone to chat to on the plane, and someone to help me find my way through Orlando International to Vista Way!

Also, Lucie who I met at the interview day got the call a couple of weeks ago, and goes in August. That's a scary thought! I'm quite glad I've got enough time for it to sink in and prepare before I go (even if it is a little boring at home).

So, what have I been doing? Well, it turns out that no-one in Horsham will offer me a job...I'm being positive about it though and saying that it's probably because I'm over-qualified to work in a shop...it's just a bit annoying that I can't earn any money. So, I decided to join the gym to get fit instead, as I gathered that having been a student for, well, ever, I'm not used to physical work. I'm doing ok, been going 3 times a week which is good.

Been catching up with my friends- many a spoon's curry, coffee, picnic, you know the drill. Last week Polly and I went to see Toy Story 3 which was amazing, I loved it. And I definitely got goose pimples when cinderella castle came up at the beginning. The time seems to be going so slowly, but I've been told not to wish it away as the year will go so quickly. Next week I'm off to Cairo to see my dad which will pass a bit of time, then he's coming home, then it's my cousin's wedding...and then well, it's September (birthday time), and then it'll only be one month to go so I'll be trying to see as many people as possible and frantically trying to think of things I need to take. Hopefully there'll be some kind of a UK Pavilion meet-up before people start heading out, which will be good to get to know people a bit better...and kill some of the masses of time I have!

Anyway, I've written loads today...must be my boredom!

100 days...and counting...

So, at the 100 day mark before Disney I thought it appropriate to write a new post updating on my preparedness. I graduated from university nearly a fortnight ago and am currently taking my "summer break", and trying to find someone to employ me so that I can earn some money before I head out.

Last week I finally got my CRB back. I say finally because the original form I sent back to yummy jobs took two weeks to reach them, so that delayed the process a little- although it came back quite soon after I'd heard that yummy had received it! I think that's all I need to do now before getting my Visa.

What else have I been doing? Well, as a graduation present my sister got me the 2010 Unofficial Guide to WDW so I have been ploughing my way through that. There's loads of handy hints in there, although I won't need most of them as I'll have plenty of time to see everything.

Other than that I'm trying to think of things that I'll need to take with me, and things that I won't. I bought a really cool travel journal when I was in Canterbury a few weeks back, so I've started to make a list in there.

Anyway, I'll update when I have a bit more chat!
