SO.. How did you get this?

Hi All,


Generally when I inform people that I am leaving to go and work at Walt Disney World for 5 months I get the same question;

'So How did you find out about this?' 


The story starts back in July last year when I was participating in a short program in Tours, France. Across from my dorm room was a girl named Lauren, she lived on the Gold Coast and was going to America to work at Disney in the following January for 6 months. We of course became friends through the experience in France and on returning home continued our friendship.


Unfortunately Lauren was unable to go to America and at the end of last year I was thinking about what I could do with my gap year from University.


So I jumped online and researched the Walt Disney World International College Program and found out all about the program, based in Florida, where millions of International and Domestic Students travel to participate in the program.

The Link provided tells you all the information you need to know in order to submit your application.


After months of tossing up whether I would really apply for the Program around the end of February I sent in all my paperwork and received an invitation for a Skype interview.


Once I interviewed with the lovely Jeni, I received my offer of employment from Disney, and I was off!


I believe the next and probably most important step is to try and find the Disney AU/NZ group on facebook! this group has been amazing in helping each other and also connecting with each other before we leave on our adventure.


I am so grateful for all the opportunities that have been presented to me and so fortunate to be able to take these opportunities.


17 days!


Until my next blog,
Natalie :)
