3 interviews, an audition, 6 months of waiting and waiting some more, countless emails, 5 suitcases and 2 flights later...I am finally in Orlando! Words cannot describe how happy I am to be here and how much I am looking forward to this incredible experience! Our flight was late from Houston to Orlando on Saturday night so by the time we landed my mom and I were starving, so we went to ihop obviously. Pancakes and a chocolate shake. Nom. The next day, Sunday, my mom and I slept until 11:30 clearly unadjusted to the 3 hour time change. We experienced The Waffle House for the first time, went to Target, got our nails done, and then "accidentally" pulled into a parking spot at the Outlet Mall that happens to be literally down the street from my apartment. For dinner we went to The House Of Blues in Downtown Disney and then went to visit my friend from home, Alaina Perchak, who is working at the Disney Days of Christmas Store. The 3 of us devoured some ice cream from Ghirardelli and then went home for the night because I needed some sleep before check in the next day. That night I could barely sleep because I was so anxious, so instead of waking up at 6am to get in line at 6:45, I made my mom get up at 5:40 and we were in line at 6. Around 7, two of the girls I was going to live with got there, and we later got basically a break-up text from the other 2 girls we were supposed to be with so that was super awkward haha. So Maggie (my roommate), Becka, and I went through all the lines, where we started talking to a girl, Polly, who became Becka's roommate! We got our room assignment, Patterson Court, and found out that we would be rooming with 2 more girls to make our suite a 6 man. A few hours later we got on a bus and went to casting where we would turn in more paperwork, sign our lives away to Disney and hopefully get our work assignments...NO. Character performers don't find out anything for like another week...yay more waiting! At this point it's around 2:30pm and we are all completely exhausted. We started moving everything into our room and met our final suite mates, Martina and Bitzy! My mom and I went back to the hotel and took a nap, then met the girls at Walmart where we spent 2 1/2 glorious hours getting everything. Slept like a baby last night, went to a housing meeting earlier today, mom left : ( and now I have the rest of the to finish moving in! Besides the humidity and the awful/constant frizz my hair is experiencing, I am already having a blast and cannot wait to finally go to the parks! Miss my dad, brod & dash, my dog, my friends, and everyone at ASU so so much!!!
