I Can Go the Distance

So after 18 hours in a jam packed Chevy Aveo and my awesome "Road Trip EXTREME" mix, I made it to Vista Way right next door to the entrance to Disney World in Orlando! Yesterday was crazy! I left the Mangan's in Tallahassee at 5 am (Thanks Mary for letting me crash!) and hit the road for 4 hours.

I arrived at Vista around 9:15 and got in line, shocking for Disney :). As I was standing in line I met several people including my new roommate Laura. She is from Chicago, IL and also a History Teacher to be! Match made in heaven. I received my job location, I will be working in Disney's Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM) in the Backlands. Because I had to take a drug test, my guess is I will be doing the studio tour which includes driving trams filled with 250 people!!! My family got a good laugh out of that as driving is not exactly my excellence, haha. Laura and I are in a 3 bedroom apartment with 4 other girls (6 total). We are all over the parks and doing various jobs and I'm really looking forward to getting to know everybody better. Judging simply from last night, we're going to have a lot of fun. I also went to the Casting office and got my first glimpse behind the scenes, or backstage as they call it. I will be having my Disney Traditions class on Friday at 8:00 am and will get my pass to the parks!!! Since I don't have work until Sunday, I can go to the park on Saturday and explore, super pumped! Anyway, that's my update for now, once I have everything nice I will post pics of my digs (as Mom calls it).
Miss you all, but not too much!!!
