ICP Vlog 1

I give a quick review of 'Mousecatraz' and talk about my 'Disney Food Challenge' which I will be setting myself next week.

DisneyMania

So have just finished reading 'Mousecatraz', a book all about the Disney College Program.  You have got to read this book if you're going on the program, it's filled with hilarious stories and snippets of useful information.  I absolutely recommend buying it, you can get it pretty cheap from amazon and its' well worth the money.  I'm going to start a vlog soon to go along with this blog so i'll talk about it a bit more in that.


Next week I'm going to set myself a challenge to have at least one Disney themed meal every day for a week.  This is going to be super fun for me as my most favourite thing other than Disney has  got to be food.  If anyone has any ideas please comment as I'm needing inspiration.

However, I have realized that I need to learn some self discipline when it comes to food and exercise, otherwise i'm going to come back from America looking like I just escaped out of Seaworld's Shamu attraction.  So I am beginning a Disney Diet.  Yesterday I bought an exercise DVD (don't judge me) with a fat blob in the shape of a lady on the front and a brown thin one standing next to her.  My efforts begin today.  Of course this means I will have to surrender in my struggle to become a raging alcoholic (long story) but I'm sure I can just begin snorting pixie dust instead, there will be plenty of that in the Magic Kingdom.  I'll let you know how it goes.  Of course, this does not include my week of Disney foods so feel free to suggest whatever fatty, sugary ideas come to mind.

I have to admit I've been a bit Disney mad these last few days.  It seems to come in cycles where I'll be fine for a week or two and then suddenly I'll have a couple of days wehre i eat sleep and breathe Disney.  Even as I'm writing this I'm listening to a playlist of 147 songs they play in the parks that I downloaded, at this very moment it's 'Main Street Audio' from the Magic KIngdom, of which there are 16 tracks :P


Today I also re-watched the whole College Program Presentation.  I know we've all seen it before but its a good source of Disneyism for the day and got me EVEN more excited (if that's even possible) iIf you fancy watching it again and getting hyped up, you can find it here.

Have a magical day!

The Adventure Begins

Hello and welcome to my Disney Diary.

So it all started when I applied back in October 2010.  I had a phone interview and then a face to face interview yadeyadeyade, I'm sure you've heard all the details of this from the other blogs.   Most people started their blogs when they applied and I'm just starting mine now, with 91 days to go until I start.

So here's a brief catch up:

On the 1st December I received this...


There was a lot of screaming and jumping up and down, as I'm sure you can imagine.

Soo between now and then there has been a lot of chat on the facebook group and somebody designed a hoodie for the 2011 ICPers.  Here's mine:





In case you're wondering, the paws in the corner of the picture belong to my giant rabbit, Sophie.

I have also booked my flights with British Airways and will be arriving in Orlando at 15:25 local time.

 When I start the program I intend to go into as much detail as possible about it and tell everything I can... but until then its just a waiting game!

I will be filling this blog with fun Disney stuff between now and 24th May to give myself, and anyone who's reading our Disney hit.

Have a magical day! :D
