april 12th 2011

So far I can surely say that I will be arriving on April 11th... maybe if I convince my parents I could leave on the 10th... but that would mean more money to spend on food, drinks and taxis and more clothes to wash later during the week.

 

Hey guys!!!

Sooo Pop Century is nice so is movies, definitely the cheapest. If you wanted to be close to Vista Way there is a Holiday Inn basically across the street. And it's pretty nice. I'm probably getting there like the 8th or 9th.

 

I think the Holiday Inn would be the best option... we have Disney for an entire year, so I'd say we shouldn't ruin the surprise and our pockets.

 

Looks like its the Holiday Inn SunSpree that's right by Vista Way. The standard room rate when we're looking to go is $126.99 USD, which isn't too bad.

 

Not bad... I vote for the Holiday Inn,

 

Alright I looked into it a little more and it turns out the Holiday Inn Sunspree rate with taxes is $150.81 USD, Pop Century's rate with with taxes is $145.77 USD, those are one night rates for the night of April 11th. The Holiday Inn is still closer to Vista Way so it's probably a bit more convenient. I think there might be another hotel in the Downtown Disney area with a cheaper rate then these two, I'm still checking them all out though.

 

Let me know please... once you have the list of hotels I'll try to see if I can get a discount for us. Travel Agent here if you didn't know.

 

Alright I'll gather as much info as I can.

 

Thanks!!

Emails and phone numbers would be awesome too...

 

There is also another hotel a not too far away but I just always called it the Pineapple hotel because there is a giant pineapple there. lol. I think it's a little cheaper let me find out what it's called and let you know!!

 

The Nickelodeon one?

 

Ok it's called Orlando Vista Hotel and...... It's $69.99 plus taxes a night! It's probably a ten minute drive from Vista... We used to go there to have Monday Night Festivities when security was cracking down lol Either way it's a pretty nice place and not too expensive. That Price is for 2 Double Queen rooms.

 

My bad 2 Queen bed room!

 

Not bad at all... you've done the program before?

 

Yes I did it, August 08-09.

 

Nice!

You'll be our guide during the first days... hehehe...

So... from day 1 to the first day at work... what do we expect??? Because I want to have fun during those days so I can focus at work without any temptation...

 

Hahaha temptation... Sorry to burst any bubble but the temptation doesn't stop just because you need to work. The first week is pretty slack with getting id's and housing trying to scare you but as I remember it's lots of free time. I know for the Canadians on the second day you are there, there is a 'Throw In'. I'm sworn to secrecy about the throw in, all you need to know is that it's crazy fun.

There's two days that you won't want to drink before... traditions and then Discovery Day where you walk around Epcot. Traditions well it's important and you don't want to be falling asleep during that. Discovery Day I almost missed the first time and let's just say it's way to hot to be walking around Epcot in professional clothes with a hangover, we got to ride mission space... Definitely fell asleep... ooops. lol.

And as for the tour guide part... I'll do my best.

 

Interesting... mmm... do they invite people from other countries for the throw ins?? Or is it Canadians Only.

 

Usually every country has their own party for New people.

 

I see...
