DCP Bucket List #10

Canoeing at Fort Wilderness!

First off, go visit the campsites at the Fort Wilderness resort. It is such a nice switch from constantly being around the busyness of the parks and resorts. Its a very nice and relaxing environment with lots of activites to do. Along with canoeing, they have kayaking, motor boats, archery, horseback riding, horse drawn carriages, and even segway tours.

My friends and I went canoeing and it was a blast! It is very inexpensive, costing $6.50 for 30 minutes and $11 for an hour. You are only charged for how long you are out with a minimum of $6.50. So, if you're in between or over the hour, its based on the minute. The best part is that cast members get 50% off!! We were out for 30 minutes with the three of us in one canoe. The total price was only $3.47! I would highly suggest canoeing at Fort Wilderness. Its a very fun and inexpensice thing to do with friends. 

DCP Bucket List #9

Eat at Earl of Sandwich!

I was so excited when I finally got to try it!! I had the Chicken Chipotle Avocado hot sandwich and it was delicious. I'm planning on going back and trying the Classic Earl and the Italian sandwich. I would definitely suggest eating there if you're in Downtown Disney!

DCP Bucket List #8

See a movie at the AMC Theatre!

The AMC Theater in Downtown Disney is so nice and comfy! I have actually seen two movies there so far. I watched Inside Out and The Minion Movie with some of the people from my training group. The theater is so nice! The screen is huge, the floor is elevated, the seats are huge, comfy, and reclinable! 

However, it is pretty cold in the theatre. The first time, I wore shorts and was freezing! If you're like me and get cold easily, bring a jacket!

This was when we went to see the Minnion movie and of course we had to take a picture doing the Queen Wave :)

One Month!

I can't believe I've been here for a month already! It feels like I've been here for awhile, but the month went by so quickly. I love being here in Florida, but I'm definitely missing home. 

A month into the program and I'm so glad I decided to participate. I'm grateful for this opportunity to work for the Walt Disney Company, grateful to have the greatest job ever, and grateful for all the wonderful people I have met. 

I might even like it here a little too much to the point where I'm not sure if I'll ever want to leave... But Disney will still be here and I can always come back. 

This is probably the biggest jump I've taken in my life. I remember first applying and just thinking about how crazy it would be to live so far away and actually work at Walt Disney World. Overall, this experience was so much more than I expected! 

DCP Bucket List #7

On our day off, Katherine and I spent the day at Hollywood Studios. For lunch, we stopped at Fairfax Fare and tried the Macaroni Bacon Hot Dogs! They were pretty good, but a little hard to eat. The hot dogs are served with some chips as well. If you're looking for a quick and light snack, stop by Fairfax Fax!

DCP Bucket List #6

Try a Turkey Leg!

Katherine and I were both off, so we spent the day in Animal Kingdom. Of course we had to try the turkey legs! They were delicious!!

DCP Bucket List #5

This originally wasn't on my Bucket List, but after going with my roommates, I definitely would suggest it! Enchanted Tales with Belle is a cute interactive story show. The guest get to play different characters from the movie and Belle acts it out with you. I ended up being picked as the Beast! I got to "scare" Belle and dance with her! If you enjoy cute little kid Disney things like that, Enchanted Tales is a must! 

 

Fourth of July / DCP Bucket List #4

Working during the 2015 Fall Advantage season means that I get to be in the happiest place on Earth during some pretty awesome Holidays! Last weekend was the Fourth of July and although I didn't get to shoot my own fireworks, it was still pretty fun.

I actually worked the day of, but I got Holiday pay so that was totally okay with me. I worked from 10am-5pm which wasn't bad. I was working a dining shift at Animal Kingdom. DAK closes earlier than the other parks, so it is already slow around dinner time. However, since it was a holiday and DAK wasn't doing anything for the 4th (fireworks scare the animals), it was dead.

When I got off work, I went back to my apartment and got ready to meet some friends. Magic Kingdom was blocked out to Cast Members, so we went to EPCOT. I met up with some of the people from my training group. We just walked around World Showcase and went to a cute little bakery in France. Then we watched Illuminations which had a special 4th of July finale.

Disney definitely doesn't dissappoint! It wasn't the same as being at home woth my fanily, but it still was a super fun day! 

DCP Bucket List #3

"Try the Grey Stuff, its delicious!"

While celebrating my roommate Ashley's birthday, we had lunch at Be Our Guest. The food was pretty good and I absolutely loved the layout and decorations. For dessert, we all order the Grey Stuff. It was so yummy! It kinda tasted like an oreo, but in a cupcake form. I would definitely suggest trying it!
