Language Pins


Hey guys ,

so i wanted to tell you that i have decided to get a Language pin when i go down to FL!! For Sign Language !! Im really excited and i know that there are others in the FB group that are going to do it for ASL to! so i would have someone to practice with before i have to go take my test :)

So to clarify a Language Pin at Disney just means you get a cool pin with a flag for the country your language is from or for ASL you get Mickey hands :) and they go on you name tag to let guest know you can speak this language!!

so what do i have to do to pass this ??? i have to really WORK on my sign ... and my receptive skill... I FaceBooked my ASL teacher from HS but i need to call her and ask her what she think is the best way to do this and i need to look into signs that are spastic to FL because every state has its own signs .. its like an accent ..

So why do i want to do this?? well i love sign and i miss it a LOT and it would tell me that im actually good at it and that im good enough to communicate with Deaf people !

so now i have to stick to it and study up :)

well thats all for now

Have a Magical Day

All in One

Hey everyone,

so this is everything in one post lol.

I found out about disney college program from a my friend Ruth who had a cousin Brenna did the program a few years ago!! Disney's web site was a world of help and knowledge after i made my decision to apply in the program. Online also has a TON of information and that was the best to read what other people thought of going to the program . One thing i have learned this far is that its a BIG OLD WAITING GAME!!

So January 22 was the day the E- presentation went up!! My dad was visiting and i was dropping him off at the airport and when i was waiting to get back on the metro and i check to see if they were up and there it was and i was 30min a way from home OY!! so after the longest metro ride EVER!! i got my computer and watched the presentation and if i thought i was excited to go before now i was dying!!! After you watch the presentation then its time for the web base interview witch you either pass or fail .... scary really.. so thats where my parents came in :) they helped me do it and i passed ! thank god . and now i was invited to have a phone interview !!!


January 25
After passing my online stuff i called and got an interview for the 25 . I did a lot of reading online and had answers ready for question i thought they might ask . Sadly i dont have as much to tell you about the interview because i was so nervous .. but it went well and mom apparently listened in on the other side of the door haha they called right on time !! so then i had to wait and if it wasnt for the Disney College Program Facebook Group i think i would have died !!

and i waited and waited and got crankier and crankier ... and it sucked cuz we got snowed in ...

February 13

THE MOST AMAZING SATURDAY IN THE WORLD!! to be honest i was losing hope and didnt think it would ever come :( but there it was i was offered a role in Merchandise and im so happy !!

a few days latter i got my Purple Folder <3

I also found Becca and Becky my future room mate !! they are so sweet! the glories of Facebook :)

well that was a LOT !!

Have a Magical Day
