Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust.

I GOT ACCEPTED.

While, I could just end this post here, I thought it would be beneficial to my readers and the readers yet to come that I explain my whole process.  The following post tells of my pre-accepted information and the timeline of my entire process.  This post will detail the events that followed my acceptance and all the events leading up to today.

It was at 10:30am in the morning, while I was over at my boyfriend's suite that I checked my email to find THIS:

I was completely over the moon! I told my boyfriend and then rushed back to my room to call my family.  Isn't it always at the most importance times that you find you can't reach them?  uh-yup.  I wasn't finally able to inform them until 45 minutes later after I had accepted my offer and payed all the fees.  

First, after my initial freak-out I followed the three-step process described in the email by Disney to officially accept my offer and pick my dates. 

I was directed to access my Disney portal page to accept my "offer" from Disney.  At this point, I had no idea what my role was or pay rate until reading the official offer page.  I will attach it below.  I don't feel wary about posting my pay-scale since the information is public and readily available if you search on Google.

Being in Attractions was one of my top 3 choices, so I was extra thrilled about being placed somewhere I was very much interested in working.  I've read that they already have decided where you will be working so hopefully since I talked a lot about my theatre experience I will get placed somewhere like the Great Movie Ride or the Jungle Cruise.  

After scrolling to the bottom of this lengthy acceptance page (the 7 more pages I didn't feel y'all needed to slug through) I clicked accept.  Following that I was sent the email to pay my fees.

Yada Yada, some people are going to complain about having to pay 300 dollars right off the bat, but it actually goes towards your first couple weeks of rent and the super mega foxy awesome hot activities for the n00bs as well--n00bs being me and the other thousands of DCP recruits.

I payed the fees and then my bank account cried.  And also looked like this 

ALL WORTH IT, in my opinion

The third step was choosing my arrival date.  To make a long blog post a bit shorter, the rest of the third step will be shown in pictures.  A la pictionary.

So there you have it.  I don't necessarily want to live in Vista Way, I think it just automatically chooses that until I log on to "DORMS" which is where you can list your roommate choices and housing preferences.  

So far I'm in a facebook group with 4 other girls (currently searching for a 6th roomie if you are interested and we all seem to get along just fine!)  We are calling our suite "The Palace" because we are all princesses.  I'm PUMPED to already have housing somewhat out of the way. 

In the next coming months I will be blogging all about my plans for budgeting during Disney and packing lists as well as my official DCP bucket list.  

Thanks for reading!
