Disney Cultural Exchange Program - Part 2: Moving In


Well, it's been a while. My last post was made back in April - two entire months ago. As you might have guessed from that cliffhanger of an ending, I was, in fact, accepted into the Disney CEP.

Photo of me, all ear'd up.
The acceptance process was a flurry of paperwork, fees, and planning to pack for several months of Floridian life. Let's talk about that process of actually moving in - what needed to be done in advance and how busy those moving-in days can be.

Disney Cultural Exchange Program - Part 1: Applying and Interviewing


In my quest to try and actually blog more, I thought it would be a fantastic idea to document my experience so far in the Disney Cultural Exchange Program!!

Now, if you haven't heard of the program before, I can't blame you. The Disney CEP, formerly known as the ICP (International College Program) was something I'd never heard of either until a friend of mine, Zack, participated in it last year.

Two friends in red shirts smile for a photo. On the left is a young man, Zack. On the right is a young woman, Morgan. She has her arm around Zack's neck and is making a peace sign with her hand.

Essentially, the CEP allows folks from all across the world to spend a few months working at Walt Disney World in a variety of different roles - anything from a lifeguard to a behind-the-scenes position in the costuming department. At the pay rate of $10 US an hour (yikes!) you get the chance to make some magic for guests from all over the world! Naturally, I had to apply. Let's talk about that process.

New April's Resolutions


Well, it looks like I missed the cut-off point for New Year's Resolutions by about three months. I suppose we can't always be winners.

Despite running, you know, 6 fortnights late, I think I'm at a point in the year where it's time for me to make some resolutions. Whether those will carry me through the rest of this year, all the way until next April, or about 10 days remains to be seen. That being said, I'd rather start and fail than never start at all. So here they are: My Mid Year Resolutions
