Visa day!

So, today was visa day...probably the closest and most exciting thing to being in Disney World...!! Before you go you have to do a stupid online form thing, which is a bit of a hassle but nothing too hard, as long as you keep saving and read all the FAQs that Yummy send and also the ones on the embassy website. Then last week while in London I got my visa photo; see embassy website for detailed instructions!

Luckily, Tori and I got the same interview date and time so we met at Bond Street at 7.25 and headed to the embassy. Advice for everyone...get an 8am appointment- it is quicker!!! After being checked for electronic equipment, we had forms checked outside in the queue. Then we had our passports checked in a second queue. Then we queued for security. Then we walked round the corner to join a queue to check in and be given an appointment number. Waited for 20 mins or so to be called. At the first desk was form checking and finger prints. Then we were given a form to fill out for postage, before being called for the interview bit. I got asked whether I was doing CRP. "Yes". You've just finished school in Durham. "Yes". What will you be doing? "Working a Merchandise- in the shops" APPROVED. Then paid £14 for courier and left in about 1 1.5 hours. Simples.

Told you it was exciting.

Well, the process wasn't but talking to Tori and the fact it made it seem more real definitely did. We later met up with Jenna and had a little arrival group day. It was awesome...amazing that it's only the second time we've met and yet it seems like we've known each other for ages. I think that's the thing with Disney people, they're all so friendly! We went to Wagamama's which was lovely, more chatting...and then did a little bit of shopping before heading back home. Jenna was hilarious in the Disney Store where I picked up a Dory cuddly toy and she burst out with "we could paint you blue" (in reference to dressing up!)...can't wait to spend the flight with her- going to be so much fun, just a shame Tori's heading out a day earlier!

Oh well, that's enough for now! Sorry for the dullness of the description of the visa stuff- it's quite handy to know though as I didn't have a clue what to expect and got really nervous!
