Dream it. Do It. Disney.

  • Wednesday, March 10, 2004

Well today is a magical day at Eckerd College. I got my official acceptance letter to the WDW College Program. I have been cast as a Merchandise Host. I will not know my exact location until I arrive at my traditions class upon arrival to WDW. My arrival date will be 24 May, 2004. Just a mere 2 day after graduation on 22 May. Two big events in a short time. Man I am going to love it. I will be working at WDW until at least 03 January, 2005 unless I extend of become full time at that point. Also, while on the college program, I will be able to take the Disney classes in customer service, communications, and other key areas of the Disney culture. These are the same classes that major companies send their staff to for thousands of dollars and I get to do it for FREE. It’s going to be a great learning experience I am sure. Dream it. Do it. Disney.

    Wow Tom! Congrats on being accepted into the college program. That is quite an honor and you should be very proud and excited about such an amazing experience you will have! You may not remember but I e-mailed you several months ago because I was considering Eckerd for college and you gave me your insight on the school. I occasionaly check your website just to read your new entries and such. I am also a Disney World freak and I would love to possibly do the college program one day too. I will be graduating from high school in May and I have made the decision to come to Eckerd. I am thrilled! Hopefully it will be a good experience for me and I will meet many new, interesting people. Do you have any advice for me on what to expect or prepare for before I go? Have a good day and hopefully your last sememster is going well! Congrats again!
    -Erin
