I have arrived!

Greetings from Florida! Here's a recap of the last 10 days:

The Tuesday morning I was due to leave, I realized that I had been weighing my suitcases wrong, and they were in fact much more than 40 lbs each. So I left a good portion of my belongings behind. Mind, you this is all occurring at 2am, a couple hours before I had to be at the airport. Ha.

After lots of hugs and kisses (and tears, mainly when I had to say goodbye to my cats, LOL), I boarded the airplane to head from London to Chicago. After a looong wait at U.S. Customs, I had to run through the airport to get to my connecting flight to Orlando. Thankfully, it was delayed, otherwise I would have missed it. (Blessing!)

I got to the Vista Way Clubhouse at around 3:30, and fiiiinally got to my new apartment in The Commons! I was super excited that I got the housing complex I wanted, but all magic comes with a price. I ended up in one of the older buildings, so a lot of things weren't working. And of course, I ended up in a bunk bed on the top bunk. Not so great. HOWEVER, I have some of the most loveliest roommates in the world, and I am so thankful for that. :)

The first few days involved shopping trips to Walmart and meetings regarding housing, immigration, etc. And then on Saturday, we had the most magical day of all; TRADITIONS! Basically a class at Disney University that teaches you about the history of The Walt Disney Company, and gets you super stoked to work there. We also got our I.D. and our name badges on this day!

The next few days were a couple more classes and then a couple days of in-store training, and I finally got my costume! I didn't think I'd like Merchandise as much as I thought I would. I looooove it. I get to pin trade, interact with guests, and play with the merchandise. So much fun. :)

Also, last Friday I went to Universal Studios and got an annual pass. Totally worth it! Even though it rained, we still had a blast. The new Harry Potter part of the park, Diagon Alley, is incredible.

Today was my day off so I went grocery shopping and went to the pool. My Birthday is tomorrow, so I have breakfast reservations at 1900 Park Fare with my friend Heather, and we're going to meet Mary Poppins, Winnie the Pooh and his friends!

So that's what I've been up to! Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me during this transition, it has been quite the adjustment.

Love love love,

Morgan

P.S. Its hurricane season in Florida, so it basically rains every day for at least a couple of hours. Ew.

T'was the night before Disney...

It's currently 11:30pm. I am 95% packed. My room is a disaster. I'm pretty sure my bags weigh more than 50 lbs each. I still have laundry to do. Annnnd I have to be at the airport for 4:30 A.M. Cool.

The past few days have been jam packed with visiting friends and family, running errands and procrastinating. To think that in just a few short hours, my life is going to totally change.

Boom.

Love love love,

Morgan

One week to go!

This time next week, I'm going to be in the land of palm trees, sunshine. Living there. Full-time. What.

On Friday we had my family goodbye party. Let me tell you, I have the biggest, most fun, loving and caring family I could ever ask for. Between the BBQ, ice cream cake and sing-a-longs, I couldn't help but smile just thinking about how lucky I am to be a part of something so special.

And to top off the evening, my mom gave me the best gift I could ever ask for.

SHE MADE ME A T-SHIRT QUILT! Made with shirts dating back to when I was like, 6 years old. I maaay have cried like a baby when I opened the box. Its just so perfect. <3 

Tonight, I went to Young Adults just like any other Tuesday. But when I entered Mark's house, SURPRISE! A goodbye party with cake! And hats! And princesses! And balloons! And weird conversations! 

Thanks you guys. :) 

The next week is just crazy busy with visiting people and packing! TIME IS GONNA FLY, KIDS. 

Love, love, love,

Morgan
