Hello people! And welcome to my first ever fully finished TR! I'm a part time lurker on these boards (sorry) and full time Disney Lover.
OH! WHERE THE HECK ARE MY MANNERS?
I forgot to formally introduce myself.
My name is Jay. Almost 22, almost college senior, Southern Belle, Disney Cast Member. In my spare time, I lurk these boards and cry my eyeballs out watching YouTube videos of parents surprising their kids with a trip to Disney.
My parents introduced me to Disney at the tender age of four.
Me and my daddy
Me on my first "roller coaster" aka the People Mover
I know...adorable right? Right.
Since then, we've been a few more times. My parents always took us in the summer months as we got older, thus starting my mom's hate for Disney.
My parents added another offspring into the mix. This is my little brother. A quick trip to the World back in 08. See the sweat on our faces?It was July and felt like we were giving the sun a piggy back ride
Yes. My mom hates Disney. Since they pretty much always took us youngins in the summer, she now associates heat=Disney. Plus, she's a wuss and doesn't ride anything, but she makes a great bag holder when I ride stuff! I love my mom.
I've been finding my way back to Disney since 08.
In 2009, my high school senior class attended grad night. That year was the first (and to my knowledge ever) the first time Disney ever pulled GradNite out of the MK (which I was hugely disappointed about btw). Instead, we had it at Hollywood Studios. Blah. But it was still a fun night!
2010, me, the guy I was dating at the time and my two bestest (yes, I know that isn't a "real" word) friends, went down for a weekend trip. Me and then boyfriend and one of my best friends did a day of community service and in return, received a free Disney ticket for the promotion they were doing at the time. We went to the MK since we didn't get to go to GradNite there the year before.
Me and one of my best friends. Yeah, figured it might be weird to put a picture on a website of my ex...lol so, I left that picture out!
That trip lead me to my fasincation of all things Disney College Program, and shortly after that trip, I went home, applied, had two interviews and GOT IN!
Best thing I ever did and I'm hoping to do it again! I worked at All-Star Resorts in Merch. I did the Fall Program in 2010 and extended out my program to 2011. That internship led me to my job with the company today...a campus Representative. Because I need to stay well versed with all things Disney, is why I'm such a lurker on this site (that's my excuse and I'm stickin' to it!). Which drives my boyfriend of almost 2 years crazy.
On our most recent adventure in Key West
This is my lovley boyfriend Malcolm. He is also a junior at my university majoring in Civil Engineering. I met him shortly after returning back to school from my DCP Internship. He was my next door neighbor. We started dating in September of 2011 and enjoyed our time being goofballs since then. He's not crazy for Disney like me, but puts up with it and gets excited to go once we're there.
On this trip we celebrated our one year anniversary on a short weekend trip.
Hope you join along as we celebrate young budding love p) and my new position with Disney!
