Cast-A-way

I read this around 2:45pm... and was shocked.
I made a squealing noise and started hyperventilating I was so excited. I was literally shaking... all I could think was "I'm actually going to work at Disney!"

I immediately phoned my Mom (I should add that it required several attempts to dial the number because my hands were shaking) and I left a message:

HEY IT'S ME, MOM IT'S ME, I JUST GOT AN EMAIL, I GOT THE EMAIL AT 2:27 TODAY. I'M GOING TO DISNEY! I'M GOING TO DISNEY! I HAVE, I HAVEN'T CALLED HIM BACK, I HAVEN'T, I'M TOO EXCITED, BUT I'M GOING TO DISNEY, MOM, I'M GOING TO DISNEY!

I left a similar message for my Dad, and then tried to calm myself down so that I could be more articulate when I called Eric. I called Eric and after a few phone line transfers I was talking to Eric! He offered me a position in Merchandise starting July 15, 2008!. I immediately accepted and he started letting me know about information regarding the program.

They'll be mailing the information package and my visa information to my Dad's house. It will have everything I need to get started. I also need to fax them a background check ASAP.

After getting off the phone with Eric I started calling/e-mailing all my friends and family. I wanted to know if my Disney friends had received the e-mail too, so we could all celebrate together!

Turns out they didn't send out all of the acceptances today, so I'm so lucky that I know! Rae, Jen, and Rebecca still haven't heard! Keep your fingers crossed for them and I'll keep you updated as planning for my Disney adventure continues!
