Disney's Monstrous Summer-24 hour all night event!

In case any of you missed it, the Magic Kingdom in both WDW and Disneyland had a 24 hour event to kick of their "Monstrous Summer." I don't know about any of you, but I saw many photos and videos that made me jealous I was not there for the event! Here are some of the awesome pictures:

Mike and Sully kicked off the event--Mickey and Minnie were also there earlier in their pajamas! Fireworks went off at 6 am! (Photo: WDW)

There are many more pictures I could post, especially more treats to add like Mike Cake Pops and Mike's special drink (the drinks had light up ice cubes in them). I loved seeing everyone's photos on Instagram--especially the early morning pictures and most of the characters in their pajamas. 

The only not so great thing about the event? I heard a lot of DCP people were working 12-16 hour shifts because it was a 24 hour event! Crazy times, but when you work at Disney you have to be prepared for anything! 

Monstrous summer will be a WDW and Disneyland all summer to promote the new Monster's University in theaters June 21st! Be sure to check out all the fun on Disney parks blog here:

It's been a while...

I haven't written anything in a few weeks due to finals week and moving back home and then taking a week to settle back in. But I'm back and more excited than ever to be going to Disney in August! It's been awesome to see some of the fall advantage people move into their dorms to see how our routine will be once we all get down there.

I know that before I go I want to work on my fitness so I can stand the 90 degree weather with 100% humidity, as well as, I have an online course to complete! Also I want to spend as much time with my loved ones of course!
  
On an exciting side note, Disney released the numbers from the fall advantage and fall program: 30,009 people applied for the Disney College Program and 2,400 were accepted. Seeing those numbers make me feel even more grateful for this opportunity and the future! 

It was odd saying goodbye to Hofstra for 8 months. I'll miss my friends, fall fest, and other fun activities going on but will I miss the school? Not particularly, but then again...I will be living in the happiest place in the world so I guess that makes sense!

My next couple of posts will discuss some of the awesome activities going on at Walt Disney World currently, my potential vacation(s), my bucket list, some more Disney challenges (perhaps), and other miscellaneous items. 

Only 78 days left to go!!!

100 Days

That's right, it's 100 days until I move into the Disney College Program apartments with my new roommates! And it's 99 days until I leave Rochester for the beautiful and sunny Orlando! I am so excited for all the adventures ahead. 

I forgot to mention the other day that I am all registered for the Disney College Program and my independent study online! It's actually really cool because it says DCP three times next to  my classes for next semester! haha it's so nice seeing that rather than 'geology' or 'marketing.'

Speaking of marketing, I have to write a 15 page paper for that class...currently I'm at 9 pages and I think I'm writing too much, but I guess it's better to go back and delete pages rather than try and ramble and add more. And finals week is slowly approaching. The last day of classes is Wednesday and then I have a week and a half to go through finals--unfortunately I have a final on the very last day at 8 am--after the Paramore show--ew no! 

I also forgot to say HAPPY MAY! Or because it's today..."May the 4th be with you!" This semester has gone by pretty quickly, definitely compared to the last one (even though I think the last one might have been just a tad more fun). 

And as my final news: I got to meet one of my roommates for the DCP in Times Square! She's from Boston and my school is in Long Island so we commuted and met up! It was a fun day even though I dragged her through subway after subway (sorry)! Anyway, here's a picture of us with "sketchy" minnie mouse in times square. She told me to fu** off because I didn't tip her...Minnie you look extra ratchet I'm not gunna tip you for staring at a camera. Like SHUSH. But seeing her was so much fun and made me look forward to the program even more because she's so nice and funny (my roommate, not Minnie lol)! 

Hopefully the first of many character pictures with this girl!

In the future I'll do a post about all of my roommates and perhaps I'll even add a bucket list! But for now it's Music Fest at my school and I'm going to go watch Third Eye Blind and a bunch of other random bands (hey, it's the epitome of 90s music--I've got to go right?).

See you all later!
