I am STILL PACKING! Like seriously? WTF? I feel like I am never gonna finish. The worst part is that I don't have any bags actually packed yet, just some clothes and random stuff folded and organized into piles! This is taking much longer than I anticipated. My poor bedroom is a total train wreck. I don't think it will completely recover. Also, I still have no clue on how I will actually be fitting everything! I am trying really hard to limit myself to 4 pieces of luggage plus my carry on, but somehow I feel like I will be forgetting lots of important stuff! I also am trying to avoid buying things down there because I really won't have any money to spend until my 3rd paycheck. Uggghhhhh, the trials and tribulations of being financially independent. And of course I have waaayyyy too much pride to consider asking the parental unit, especially since they will be funding my new computer, but alas, I fear it will come to that.
This weekend was lovely, I had my last shift at PacSun. It was bittersweet because I really love working there, but this meant I am even closer to leaving for Disney! I am slowly getting more and more nervous/anxious, but more than anything I am excited! I just can't believe my dream is becoming a reality! And I am over the top excited on meeting everyone! Sunday, I went out with my friends to this funny little place called Nifty Fifty's, it's a super cute burger joint with over 100 flavors of soda! I teared up a bit because I realized how much I would miss everyone!
Yesterday, I made a very important purchase! I bought my very first business suit! It's totally adorable! It's Calvin Klein with a grey tweed jacket and a fluted black pencil skirt with a pleat on the bottom! Sooooo cute! And the best part is...it came in petite size! HAHA! Now I don't have to have it tailored. The skirt is a bit big, but it's okay. The only issue I am having now is finding a button down that will fit me correctly. =p I also ate a burrito the size of a small child from Moe's (which doesn't exist in Florida apparently!) and got free Starbucks! Woot Woot!
Everything is really starting to hit me. I have to admit, I am actually a little scared! But more than anything, I'm hella excited! I am also super jealous of everyone checking in tomorrow!!!!!! Good luck!
Only 6 days to go!

Have a Magical Day!

It's Gonna Be a Happy New Year! ...and the Packing Blog
So here in the first half, is the point in my blog where I am going to get very sentimental and weepy over last year. For me, 2009 brought on more changes than ever! In 2009, I lived on my own in NYC, I started my career as an actor, went to a crazy school, met some pretty awesome people, and strengthened my bond with others. I went to lots of cool new places, tried new things, partied a little (okay maybe alot!), and started to figure out who I really am! There are so many thing I will miss about 2009, but with the excitement that is building up for 2010, I can't help but feel like this year will top last year. Of course, the crowning moment of my 2010 is going to be my experience with the WDWCP!!!!!!
In the past year I have learned not to sweat the small stuff and to not change myself for anyone else. I am who I am and if you don't like it, oh well! I am so happy to be able to completely let loose and not be totally preoccupied with what others think of me.
Soooo the half of my blog is about the monster in my bedroom...my attempt at packing!
I am totally gonna overpack, I can tell...oh well! My room is a total hot mess right now! OMG like disaster mode major! How the heck am I gonna get everything down there! This is so hard packing my life into a few suitcases! FMLL! So I am about 20% done, which isn't much, basically all I have is some clothes folded and sitting on the couch in my room...soooo yeahh....oh and I did some laundry! So...GO TEAM? I don't know how I am gonna do this! Updates to follow this week!
Today I am having some people over for food and movies and the COWBOYS vs EAGLES game...a shout out to my boys in blue!
Okayy I'm all done for now...
Have a magical day <3

Aloha Again!
So I work at Pac Sun, and the other day a few girls came in. These girls couldn't have been older than 11, maybe 12. They were totally unsupervised, had freakin handbags (like seriously, i didnt have one till i was 15), brand new cell phones, and money to burn. And to top it off they were talking to each other like they were in their 20s! I dont understand why these little girls feel the need to grow up so quickly. It's so sad really. As I helped them, I suddenly thought of the magic of Disney. If these little girls were in Orlando or Anaheim at a Disney Theme Park, I guarantee they'd be all made up in their Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique best and dancing around Fantasyland. Then it made me smile to think that I and all of my DCPers are going to be a part of that magic very soon. I hope that those girls get some pixie dust in their lives before its too late. Lord knows I went to HS and college with one trainwreck after another. And heck, maybe there is never a "too late" I have seen a 40 year old man cry at the sight of Cinderella Castle on his first trip to the Magic Kingdom!
That said, I have 10 days until I fly down! and 12 untill check in!!! I am unbeliveably excited! However I have yet to pack. BIIGGG UH OH...considering I am flying from NJ.
Have a magical day everyone!

My First Blog <3
Hey Everybody!
Its Bianca, with her very first blog!
I am going to take everyone on a magical journey to...THE WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT!
Yes, its true! I will soon be in WDW! And not only will I be in sunny Lake Buena Vista, I am also a future cast member!
This is the true story of my journey in the WDWCP...
A little about me:
I am Bianca and I am a Disney CP in the entertainment department...unfortunately I can't talk too much about my role, but it's (in my opinion) the best role there is and I am so thankful and excited to be in this role! I am an Acting student from NYC, but I'm currently transplanted in NJ...I went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, I left to deal with some personal issues and took a semester at my local college (which has a fantastic theater program!). I love figure skating, dancing, and singing...and I also LOVEEE DISNEYYY!
I love The Disney Company! Everything about it is admirable. From the memorable characters to the efficient way they run their business to the show they create in their parks and resorts everyday!
My journey started in September when I had my phone interview. It was easy, all I had to do was be myself! They asked questions about me and my past jobs and then they asked specific questions about the roles I selected to be chosen for. I picked lots of different roles because I mostly wanted to get into the program. Originally I was assigned to Lifeguarding because of my experience as a swimmer, but, then I was changed into Attractions, and then after my audition I was placed into Entertainment.
After my inital acceptance to the program, 3 of my best friends from home were also accepted (Hi Jon, Tori, and Annalisa!) and will be joining me in WDW!
In November, three of us plus another friend made the trek to Pittsburgh for the WDWCP Auditions! It was a ton of fun, except when we got lost, since PBurgh is a TERRIBLY designed city! The auditions themselves were so much fun! We learned a dance and had to do an animation based on a scenario given to us by the auditioners. The dance was pretty easy but was taught very quickly! After being taught the dance, we were brought in as groups of 6. This took a while because there were over 130 people there! Altogether, almost 1000 people auditioned for the program role all across the country! There were tons of talented and really awesome people there!
Since the audition and being assigned my new role, it's been just waiting! Im lucky because I have met tons of people in the cp chat (AIM Chatroom: wdwcpspring2010) and on facebook and tokbox. They are awesome and I love them all! (You know who you are!)
It is currently 18 days until the start of my program. The waiting is totally killing me, but I have been passing the time by reading everyone's blogs and watching their vlogs. I also work at PacSun and I've been spending time with my friends and family before I leave.
So thats my first blog! It's a little lame and boring, but they will get better once I hit the Florida sun!
