So jealous of all the CPs already down at Disney!

But there’s only 3 days until I leave for Chloe’s, 4 days until we leave on our epic road trip, 5 days until we get to Florida, and 7 days until we become official Disney Cast Members!

So to all those who have started their program already, I wish you the best of luck! Have lots of fun and I can’t wait to join you all at Disney World!

See ya real soon!

Leaving in 30 mins for a farewell dinner with my “grandma.”

Then tomorrow I have a farewell brunch with my uncles.

And Monday or Tuesday I’m doing a final farewell hang session with Abbey.

It’s starting to get a bit hard, especially because my aunt has begun doing this thing where every time I mention Disney, she looks like she’s about to cry and changes the subject. :/

WHY HAVE I NEVER USED SPACE BAGS BEFORE, GUYS?

THESE ARE THE MOST AMAZING THINGS EVER. HOW HAVE I EVER PACKED WITHOUT THEM?

The sheer joy of seeing your possessions being squeezed down to a third of their size is reason enough to buy them.

And oh yeah, they save so much space.

I want to go to Target and BUY ALL THE SPACE BAGS.

Just ordered an entry-level DSLR camera for Disney!

It’s refurbished and a few years old, but I’m still super excited!

Oh my god.
I just came across this picture and it hit me that I’m going to be working there in 12 short days.
Not gonna lie, it took my breath away.

Leaving my house in 9 days. Kind of freaking out, guys.

It’s finally sinking in that I’m going to be in Disney World for the next 7 months!

But I really wish it would have sunk in sooner so that I’d have more packed than just a single bag of clothes. Whoops.

Maybe I’ll go to Target tonight to buy some space bags to cut down on the amount of space my notoriously heavy packing will take up, since Chloe and I have to split one car with all our stuff. I also need to buy chips and dip for my farewell hang session with Abbey tomorrow. So Target it is!
