Bit late to start a blog but thought I'd jump on the bandwagon to keep everyone updated :)
The story so far: I applied through Yummy jobs to work at Disney Florida this summer and had a phone interview with Hannah (who was soo nice!).. I passed that and got to the next stage which was a face to face interview held at my uni (luckily.. because a lot of people there had travelled).. Which went surprisingly well but you can never be too sure, didn't want to speak too soon! Then after a looooong wait everyone was hearing from Yummy jobs and I hadn't had an email which was a bit concerning cos even people who didn't get the job had heard back, so I gave it a bit of time and just rang up in the end.. Think it was Nick who answered and told me "You should have had an email cos you got the job".. I could have actually screamed but I saved his eardrums haha.. Finally got the confirmation email and was soo relieved!
After hearing the good news I just had to wait (not so patiently) for updates etc.. Paid for my criminal background check.. Booked my flights.. Will be heading to Orlando International on the 19th June with American Airlines.. At the start of September I'll be travelling to New York to meet my Mum and Dad for 5 days then heading back to Manchester on the same flight as them (still need to buy an internal flight from Orlando to JFK but might wait until I'm over there).. Booked my seats for the plane next to LOADS of Disney people so should take my mind off leaving everyone for 3 months :(
Finally got my Disney pack through the post with all my documents and information which meant I could book my visa appointment..
After a boring and genuinely painful 4 hour wait at the US embassy in London last week my visa was approved and my passport should be making it's way back to me today.. £14 later!
So flights and visa are sorted all I need to worry about now is insurance (still haven't bought any!) money and packing eeeek.. HOW am I possibly going to fit 3 months of my life into ONE suitcase?! Oh and meeting the 'Disney look'.. Which is proving quite difficult! Went and bought myself some MAC coverage makeup for my tattoos (which they know about and should be wearing long sleeves whilst i work) but my neck one is a bit sneaky and peeks through the back of my hair so thought might as well be on the safe side and hide it! Need to find a suitable 'business style' watch to keep my wrist tat out of sight too.. My hair is a different story, ended up looking like a mushroom/justin beiber whilst in the process of growing it so in need of a trim.. But least it's evening out in length and my shaved bit has grown out *phew*..
Not too sure on how much money to take in cash, which card to use (thinking FairFX).. But I'll worry about that nearer the time!
Feel like I'm waiting for Christmas I'm soo excited to be living in America and working for Disney.. I'll try and keep this updated as much as I can! Thanks for reading xx
