99 days!

So it is 99 days until I jet off to Florida :) Feels weird now that my countdown widget on my phone is only showing two numbers instead of three, its getting closer and closer. This time in 99 days I will be sat on the place about to take off :) I am flying with Virgin, cos i'm cool and a member of their flying club so used up some miles haha, made the price cheaper. I fly at 11am on 5th June from Manchester, so gonna have to be an early morning to get to the Airport, takes about an hour and a half from where I live. 

We are also all still waiting on our Disney Welcome packs and people are starting to panic because they contain our Visa petitions and apparently the American Embassy aren't giving out any J1 Visa's until the Olympics are over or something :/ which would be a big problem cos I need a Visa to get to America. Hopefully the packs will come soon and everything will be fine, I'm sure it will be anyway.

Also waiting for my hoodie to arrive :) I got a navy blue one and they are going to be sent out after the online shops closes which is on Thursday :) Probably won't take it off once I get it haha.

Anyway this was just a little random update, 99 days! 

Disney Welcome Email!

Today I received my Disney Welcome email!

Dear Daisy, We are excited that you will be a part of the Disney International Programmes at the Walt Disney World resort!

The email also gave me a few different passwords and usernames to on to the website to pay my housing fee and to see if I am eligible for the room mate matching system. I don't think people from the UK are eligible as I think we just get put in an apartment automatically once we get there. Also because I am under 21, I will be put in a "wellness" apartment, which means no alcohol is allowed on the premises or I will be in big trouble and probably lose my job! It will probably do me good not drinking for 3 months though haha.

I have also added the picture that was on the email. I'm starting to get really excited about the whole thing now :) Only 103 days to go!!!

My First Post :)

I decided to create this blog mainly so that I can write down all the different things I do whilst in America so I can remember what I did but also so that anyone that is interested in what I'm doing can have a look.


I know it is a bit early because it is only February and I don't go til June, but I got bored and thought I might as well make at least one post about what I have done so far to prepare for the programme and stuff.


At the moment I have my flights to Florida booked, only cost about £500 so not too bad. I also paid for my CRB check just to prove that I'm not a criminal or anything haha. Now I am just waiting for my Disney welcome pack to come in the post. I was told it would come in February but apparently they aren't coming for another couple of weeks now. Once I get this I will be booking my Visa appointment at the American Embassy in London, which will cost a bomb to get down there and involve a lot of waiting around to get my interview. I then have to get medical and travel insurance and pay a $100 programme assessment fee, don't really understand what thats for :/. 


I have also just bought a Disney cast member hoodie that a few of the other girls designed :) It looks quite cool and everyone will be wearing them so I thought I would get one as well. Other than that there isn't much going on at the moment, just waiting to get the Disney packs in the post then I can sort out the next lot of things I need to do :)
