Welcome to the chronicles of a Walt Disney Intern. I'll be spending the fall semester in Buena Vista, Florida living out my dream. I'm here to provide you with up to date knowledge about the different aspects of being an intern without spoiling the magic.

BEST DAY EVER


My Offer 

How do you start your Wednesdays? Well, I usually start mine by working on my differential equations homework that is due a few hours later that day; however, this particular day, I didn't get a chance to wake up to that alarm. Instead, my day began with a phone call... I woke up to the obnoxious generic iPhone ring tone (someone plz remind me to change that soon) when I looked down to see a blocked number.....

Yeah that was my face right there... unlike most people, I don't assume blocked calls are from those lovely telemarketers everyone adores. Nope, the only blocked numbers I'd received in the last month we're from Disney World. Needless to say, I freaked out and barely answered it by the last ring. Katherine (my new best friend) was calling me to let me know that I had been selected for the internship of my dreams- "Costuming/Entertainment Project Analyst: Intern." 

I'm not even sure if I processed everything she was saying throughout this conversation.  I essentially agreed to anything and everything she was saying about overtime and working weekends and nights.. Honestly, there's a good chance I actually agreed to name my first born after her and give her all my possessions plus some extra in there due to fact this was all that was going through my mind at this point in time: 
Once I started to focus on the conversation once again, we were discussing the Disney Look and how I had no intentions of getting body modifications. Being me and in a frenzy, I decided to attempt to be funny and say "I mean I don't even know what those are, but nope I won't get them." Katherine laughed and continued to explain what these modifications were including people getting their tongues split in half or getting scales placed under their skin. And while I was planning on cutting my tongue in half over break, I was willing to make this sacrifice for Disney [Grandma, this is a joke- I promise]. 

ANYWAY, I gave the verbal confirmation of my acceptance as we finished our conversation. I proceeded to sit at my computer refreshing my webmail to ensure I hadn't just had a dream about this whole encounter when I finally got the email.. 
I did another happy dance. Ran upstairs and told my kappa delta little sis (more on her perfect self later), and called everyone in my family to celebrate. I only had two days to accept this offer seeing as it is a rather competitive internship, but I accepted it within a few minutes. I am kind of taking into account the idea that there is no such thing as being too eager since I will be working at Disney World for five months. 

I think that about wraps up my acceptance story- 

Until next time, Have a Magical Day <3
