Hi ho, hi ho... its home from work we go

- Snow White

9.33 am Hello. Did you think that’s I’d fallen off a castle in a true Disney Death fashion? Or maybe you thought that I’d changed my mind and decided not to go and didn’t have the balls to update this blog.

Well, both of these are untrue. Except for, well, the balls part. But that’s biology not figurative speaking so let’s move on shall we?

You Poor Unfortunate Soul!

-The Little Mermaid

I know I know, you're so unlucky to not get something from me yet. (or not...) Anyway I'm still alive! One final assignment to get through then I will be back with a vengence. For now... ENJOY!

This is the Morning Report

-The Lion King (Extended Version)

Quick update, got my letter! It is beautiful. The video is coming. Maybe. I have having slow computer issues which I'm not sure I'm patient enough to deal with it. I will decide by the end of the week and either post my first blog, or give you a nice detailed letter. Can't believe its ninety days till the Seventh, less than three months to go!

Oh I just can't wait...

-The Lion King 



 Well, its 100 days to do till the day that we check in! Hopefully I won't be as exhausted then as I am now! XOX

Beautiful, Marvelous Color!

- World of Color

There are exactly two reasons why I am using the quote above. One, is because the thing has been stuck in my head for the last week ever since I watched THIS.

And then I'll brush and brush and brush and brush my hair

Tangled 

Today I am going to talk about my hair. A lot. Be prepared for a Tangled GIF spam as I freak out and get excited over the silliest things.

I'm sorry, but I just haven't the time!

- Alice in Wonderland

So it really doesn't feel like a month has passed since I last posted. Actually, it's only been about three weeks but I still feel sort of bad... oops. This probably isn't a good omen given that so many blog writers suffer from Muteus Disneyitus where after the first week of arrival all posting ceases and you wonder if they've been spirited away to Neverland, or have accidentally fallen down Alice's rabbit hole and can no longer get any 3G network connection. (Don't you hate it when that happens?)

That is an Excellent Question

 - Meet the Robinsons

So its been four days since any of the Disney blogs I follow have posted. And since we mostly all follow each other why don't I make everybody's day special and thrilling and talk for however long I can. (Toooooooooo long)

It's a small world after all

- The Lion King (Also, in your head. Endlessly)

To be honest, I didn't think I would be writing this soon! That's because I wasn't expecting Earth shattering events that would completely rewrite the fabric of space and time! Okay, I'm exaggerating a little. But something 'big' has happened and I suppose it deserves a mention.

I'm a damsel. I'm in distress. I can handle this. Have a nice day.

- Hercules

It's been a couple of weeks! I just thought I'd point that out. I doubt you really notice the long gaps, its not like you're desperate to hear be natter on for ten minutes. If you do? Um er... you need to get a life. Anyway, here we goooo...

Now, think of the happiest things. It's the same as having wings.

- Peter Pan (1953)

Really this post should have been written two nights ago, because two nights ago was when the magic really started to become real. That's right, I now officially have a one way ticket to Disney World.

He's just cranky, because it's his bedtime.

- Lilo and Stitch

Well, this time in six months I think I will either be in the states or en route. This is pretty exciting, to say the least and yet at the moment I'm just like uuuuuuuuuuugh. Also, cupcakes!

Up on the shore they work all day, out in the sun they slave away

-The Little Mermaid

Ahhh, the hard work has begun. From what I've been reading, been told and found out in terms of flights and what not I'm looking at having to save AT LEAST $4000 between here and the end of the year... and I have a sneaking suspicion that might be Australian dollars.

But I know exactly where I'm going, getting closer and closer every day

- The Princess and the Frog

Well its officially 200 days to go and I've officially sat the last accounting paper that I will until 2013 and my last exam for Accounting in two years, thanks to Disney. Its weird to think how BIG this whole thing is.

I don't really have much else to say, I just wanted to acknowledge the first time milestone I've reached in this big crazy adventure. I'm more grateful every day for this opportunity as I learn more about what I'll be doing and chatting to some of the people I'll meet.

I'm pretty tired right now so I'll keep it short and sweet. I know not many people are reading yet (I haven't properly shared this because I want to make the biggest impact when everyone turns facebook back on after exams) but thanks if you are. You too mum :P

Even miracles take a little time.

- Cinderella

So, yes each of these blog posts is going to start off with a quote from a film or person related to Disney, isn't that lovely?

Anyway, we have PROGRESS! :O

Take a good look around, boys. Because your future is about to change.

- Meet the Robinsons

Well, it was about four weeks ago when I was walking through the University of Auckland engineering building when I saw a rather large sign up in the entrance advertising the information evening for the Walt Disney World International Program the following Tuesday. A meeting that I went to, then interviewed for the following day.
