Sooo.. as excited as I am, and let me tell you I cant stop talking about it. There is still this lingering voice inside my head, that is soo incredibly scared, and anxious, and... well just overwhelmed with the whole idea of packing up all of my belongings, and moving more than halfway across the continent. This is all soo crazy to me, I know its what I signed up for, there are no second thoughts about whether I want to go.. OF COURSE I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D But I would like to hear from ppl who are there, who are going and who have been about how they feel, I cant be the only one this is all natural. The othedr day it finally set in, now that Christmas is over and the New Year has begun, it has sunk into my head that I will no longer have my friends calling me when they get up in the morning to go for lunch.... etc... im sure you all know what Im talking about, and I KNOW I will meet soooo many great people, but we also all know that there no place like home.....just like Dorothy said.... So let me know, Tessa, Jei? anyone who reading this..... and all of you Canadians, and others from around the world...who will all be my new friends very shortly (44 days and im gone) I cant wait to meet you...and make friendships that will soon last a lifetime....! Just thought I would state my feelings, and see if anyone else is coming from where im coming from when it comes to ....well MOVING TO DISNEY WORLD.. HELLO PEOPLE........ lol...... this is great! let me know!!! Love Tanis Canadian F&B Feb 21st2006 8) 8) ;D ;D
Oh goodness Tanis! You're leaving so soon! I'm really excited, it sunk in yesterday when I go my beloved passport photos done. Mmmm sexiness. I'm not terribly excited about leaving my family, but Im not too worried because they're all fighting over who gets to come and when. My mom will be coming down for my birthday in July, so Im SOO happy I wont be spending that alone, Im just mad at the fact that I'll finally be legal drinking age in BC and I'll be in FLORIDA! Lol, shucks! The best part is... I get to meet all the people on the forum here and my best friend will be down there too. I honestly don't know that I would be able to do it without her there when I arrive, I just wish she didnt have to start off alone. Now I have 5months to work on my bikini bod and figure out how the heck I'm going to go about being a waitress. <3 Jei F&B June 20th, 2006.
Hi Tanis and Jay and everyone else!!! Tanis WOW!!! 44 days! 64 for me, so I'm only 20 days after you, at least then we can totally hang out and everything. But I totally agree - now that christmas and new years are over it's CRUNCH time! I still have to send off my passport (waiting for payday lol) So, yes, I am TOTALLY scared and nervous and HORRIBLY sad about leaving my family and my 2 anf a half year old nephew, because I'm going to miss almost his entire 3rd year old life He'll be SO different the next time I see him - he changes so much week to week! yikes! *sniff* But some of the nervys are starting to go away and I'm getting more excited about going, since I'll know you once I get there and I have another internet friend who is there doing the College Program untill May, so I'm going to go down the day before and stay in Pop Century she's going meet me in the hotel and we'll go for dinner in Downtown Disney. So that's nice to have that lined up. Have you chosen your flight yet? Or any other of those kind of plans?........ I'm freaking a bit about packing - it's soooo hard for me NOT to overpack! Are you going to be bringing 2 suitcases?
I'm disappointed that I'll miss my 19th birthday with being down in Orlando, but hey, being down there for the year is certainly a fair trade for missing it.
trucanadiangurl if I´m not mistaken you should be leaving on feb 21 right? mee too, I am also a little scare, however this is a dream come truth, since I was 10 years old and I watched a WDW promotion video at the end of my pocahontas movie I´ve been dreaming to go there, I did it five years ago, and honestly I felt like a little kid again, and I saw all the people working there and I thought to my self "waw this is what a want to do!" So yeah of course I am scared, and hopping for the best, but I´m sure it is all going be okay, and I am sure that it is all going to be ok for you too! don´t worry, don´t think about the negative side of this year, think about all the good things about it! maybe you are not going to see your family and your friends on your birthday, but you get to spend it with your new friends that in some way are going to become your family for a year! Don´t worry, I think being scared is part of all this experience, and who knows?? maybe your family will visite you in florida?? See around! Fatima F&B 21 feb 2006-2007 Mexican pavillon
Im only doin the ICP 3 month stint over in sunny Orlando but its still quite an experience.. obviously i will miss my friends and my family but to be honest i am DYING for a break getting out there and doing sumthin for yourself is the dream... emma is there now and is LOVING it.. so proud of her cos shes doin it for a year and shes younger than me.. im 20 and dont live3 away for uni and i regret it sumtimes.. so i CANNOT WAIT TO GET OUT THERE AND BE AN INDIVIDUAL!!!!!!! plus i get emma back so double points for me ;D
DISNEY It's only just sunk in really that I'm going to be working there, and I'm sure it will sink in even more once I get my Visa! I've been speaking to a lot of my friends who are also doing placements because they do similar course to me, one's going to South Carolina and another to New Zealand so we're all going to be miles away from each other. It's just a bit worrying that I won't know anyone, but I suppose that's the fun of it all, making friends with people who could be your friends for life. I just know (and hope) that this year will be amazing. Plus its only roughly 28 days away (I don't know when my flight is so I'm not sure about the exact day I arrive. Oooooooooh on one hand I want to be there now...and on the other hand I don't want to leave everyone behind. I stayed over at a friends house the other night with my boyfriend, so it was us three, plus her husband and 4 kids....and I just thought about how we wouldn't see each other for ages. Hopefully my msn will still work so I can have video conversations with everyone. BUT I'm still very excited... it's soooooooooooo near!!! Lou xx
I'm so excited, and i just can't hide it. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you, I want you.
Hey all, well today is another day.. I got all excited and giddy today about leaving, Im sure it is going to be like this for the next little while, UP, DOWN, UP DOWN..... but I know that once I get there everything should be just fine....I talked to Nicola today for about 10 minutes and asked her a ton of questions that I had, Eric will have to answer most of them I will email them to him tomorrow. 8) the count is on... as Im sure it is for EVERYONE. I was also excited to hear today that other ppl from BC are coming on the same day as me. I dont know if they know about this site or not, but " Joe,Shane and Kelsey" if you read this let me know and we can hook up and exchange flight details so we can see if we get in around the same time.!!!!!!!!!!! This is all soo great and the more I think about it I am not missing out on much here other than , just like you Tessa, my best friend has a baby girl whos 7 months now and she will be almost 2 when I get home.. Talk about changes!!!!!!!!!! Anyways, cant wait talk soon ;D
Hey everyone! I remember how nervous I was when I was coming down here, but now I don't know what it would be like to not live here! You miss your back home friends, but even the first day you will make so many great friends and you will become really close with them really fast. After a few weeks you can't really go anywhere without running into someone you know, which makes you feel safe and helps with the homesickness a lot!
