Welcome to the team...

After a crazy weekend and a long week of waiting (and $210 later), I finally got my new passport! Disney required that I get a new one because my old one was going to expire while I was there! So now I have a fancy 10 year one. I won't have to step foot in that passport office until I'm 31. Yesss.

Anyway, I finally uploaded it to DOC and received access to the Onboarding website!

The Onboarding website is for accepted applicants, and has pretty much all the information you need to know about the program until you get there! Everything from housing, to work life,  as well as all the pre-arrival things you have to do! Not going to lie, I may have cried. :)

More info to come soon!

Over the moon...

So even though I'm under the weather today, on the inside I am still leaping for joy from all the excitement!

Just need to get a new passport and I can finally start the immigration process. 4 months and 22 days!

Everything's coming up Milhouse!

CONGRATULATIONS...

I don't even know what to write. Except for God's timing is perfect.

Thursday, January 15th I received an email letting my co-workers and I know that Target Canada would be discontinuing operations. Our last day of severance would be May 16th, What a way to start off the year. It has been such a chaotic few days. Put our whole store in shock. The sandcastle we built was being kicked down. Two years of hard work, and passion, soon to be nothing but a memory. But God never shuts one door without opening another.

This morning I prayed, "God, what ever your plans are for my life, just make it so." At 4:10 PM, He answered my prayer.

Sue Sharpe, the Disney Recruiter sent me an email offering me a position in the Cultural Representative Program in Merchandise starting June 16th, 2015! I did it! I got accepted! Guys, I'm moving to Orlando, Florida! A few minutes later I received the official email from Disney International Programs.

I was just finishing work as I read the email, I could not stop shaking. All I could do was laugh as I skipped around the office repeating "I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!". I started immediately thinking of ways to tell my family. I finally decided on writing them a letter from "Mickey Mouse" requesting my presence in his kingdom. LOL. Right before dinner I slipped it under my mother's plate. After we sat down she read it, nearly burst into tears, and then I had her read it to the family. I'm pretty sure she's more excited than I am. Hahaha.

So here we go. 146 days until I move to Walt Disney World. Unreal. You'll be seeing a lot more blog posts, and I'm going to be starting a vlog as well! Thank you everyone for all your prayers and crossed fingers, I am so blessed to have such wonderful and encouraging people in my life. :)

Wow. <3

We like you! But don't need you right now...

As of 10:36 EST this morning, I have been put on the wait-list for the Disney Cultural Representative Program. 

Yay? At first I wanted to bawl my eyes out. I have been waiting 8 weeks, only to be told they don't have a spot for me right now. But after talking to a few people on the Canada Disney CRP Facebook group, being wait-listed isn't a death sentence, its actually a good thing! 

Apparently being wait-listed means they are planning on hiring you, but they're just waiting to plan a time-period where the positions will open up again. Most people who get wait-listed, do end up getting hired! The average wait period is about 5 months, but hey, I'm a pro at waiting now. 

In a way, this could be a blessing in disguise. It means I get to go on a missions trip to Portugal in July, it means I have time to save money, and it also means I get to see Keith Urban at Rock the Park in August! God's timing is perfect, I just have to continue putting my trust in Him. 

"For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

So please keep your fingers crossed, and keep praying for me!
