Day 7

Your Favorite Disney Animal

Funniest characters to meet in the park when you go to Walt Disney World and I assume Disneyland but I've never been there.  Also I LOVED Chip n' Dale Rangers it was one of my favorite tv shows that they played on the Disney Channel!

Day 6

Your Favorite Hero

Hercules

Love, love, love this movie!  I like the muscles, the heart, and the brains (oh wait,  Hercules doesn't have that much brains lol)!  But, I do love that he fights all of the villians that Hades pits against him and at the end of the film he saves Meg but sacrificing his own life.

Day 5

Your Favorite Who Has The Best Hair

I have two choices for this.  First male character:

Prince Naveen

Even though he spends most of the movie as a frog, I think his hair is really, really nice for a male.

Now Female:

Jasmine

Her hair just looks so pretty and I wish I could have it that long and not frizzy lol

Day 4

Favorite Prince

Prince Phillip

His journey to help save Princess Aurora is epic!  He has to defeat Malificent who is my favorite villain but I'll get to that later.  But any who on his way to slaying Malificent he has to go through an immense amount of pricker bushes that many people would just give up when they see it. Malificent wasn't an easy person to defeat but he was able to do it and then still have time to kiss Princess Aurora to awake her from her sleep.

Day 3

Your Favorite Heroine

MULAN

Simple:  Mulan is a badass.  I looked up other peoples reviews on what makes Mulan the ultimate heroine and these are a couple that I found on the website www.ultimatedisney.com.  One person said about Mulan:

The number one heroine was a very easy choice for me. It's Mulan. She wasn't a passive princess, she wasn't focused on a man, or love, or anything shallow like that. Any of the male heroes would be honored to fight by Mulan's side, and that's what sets her apart from every other Disney heroine, and that's why she deserves to top the list.

- Raydawggie 

Along with this review of the character Mulan they give a comprehensive list of the top 20 Disney Heroines.  I agree with the list pretty much and I liked the choices that the website made.

SIGNED UP

I signed up for my class today that I'm going to take down at Disney World.  The class that I decided to take  is Exploring Disney Heritage at the Walt Disney World Resort!  I'm so excited for this class because I get to learn more about Disney, which is perfect for me!  The course syllabus is online and I'm wicked excited for each class because they won't be dull at all and I won't be dreading going to class.  On the second day of class we get to go to Disney Hollywood Studios for a scavenger hunt...HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!

I was going to post the class syllabus for you all to check out what I'm going to be doing every week in class but it seems that I can't do that in blogger....hurumpf!

My class will be on Wednesdays from 4-6pm at Chatham Square Classroom 4.  Hopefully I end up living in Chatham Square so my apartment will be close!

Day 2

Day: 2 of the 60 Day Disney Challenge is up and the category is:

YOUR FAVORITE PRINCESS

This one is a little difficult because I really like Pocahontas, but a lot of people don't consider her a princess even though she technically is a "royalty" in her Native American tribe.  But after not that much thought after considering all the princesses you see in the parades etc.  I chose.....

BELLE

Belle is able to see the beauty in the beast and fall in love with him!  How romantic!!!

My Bucket List for DCP

 1. Ride all the rides in all of the parks.  There are some that I have never done before because of the time restrictions and the line being too long.  So I defiently want to fix this situation that is in my life

2. Visit both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. I've never been to Blizzard Beach so I'm really excited to go ride all the amazing water slides etc. there and also possibly work there.  I've been to Typhoon Lagoon twice before-once for my 8th  birthday with my family and the second time with the marching band when I was in 8th grade (so its been a while since I last went).

3. Take any and all tours that I can.  Disney offers a lot of "behind-the-scenes" tours around the parks and resorts that I'm really interesting in being a part of.  One of the tours that I've heard of is of The Haunted Mansion ride, which is amazing because Walt Disney himself worked on the effects that they still use in this ride today!

4. Go to Beaches'n'Cream with other people and order "The Kitchen Sink"!  I'm just going to add a video along with this so you can see what "The Kitchen Sink" is.  It is going to be epic if I do this by myself and I will probably never have to eat the rests of my DCP experience!

5. Eat at as many Disney restaurants as I can afford.  Afford is the key word because even with the discounts I get a lot of the Disney restaurants are very pricey.

6. Visit all the Disney Resorts (And visit them all again around the Holidays).  Each of the hotels have amazing Holiday displays and the one I'm personally excited to see is the Animal Kingdom Resort.  I've seen what it looks like sort of from The Travel Channel doing Holiday specials on the Disney Parks and it looks absolutely amazing!

7. Attend the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, Spirit of Aloha, and Mickey's Backyard Barbecue.   I've heard nothing but good reviews about all of these dinner shows.  The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is probably the one I'm most looking forward to because its supposed to be a great time!

8. Be a part of a Character Dining experience. :)  Never got to do one of these as a child so I'm gonna do it now!

9. "Drink" around the world. 

10. Eat around the world. Eat at at least one stand/restaurant in each World Showcase.

11. Get pictures taken with all of my favorite characters.  Buzz, Woody, Malificent, Chip N' Dale, Goofy, Russel, Beast, Esmeralda, etc. 

12. Eat the Thanksgiving meal sandwich at Earl of Sandwich.

13. Go to Disney Quest and Characters in Flight at Downtown Disney.

14. Ride Tower of Terror 5x in a row.

15.  Go to the Not-So Scary-Mickey's Halloween Party and the Holiday Party and every other special celebration that Disney puts on.

16. TRY A DOLE WHIP. Finally, I'm going to try a Dole Whip.


17.  Eat a Turkey Leg.

18.  Make Someones day Magical!

19.  Enjoy every second that I am down there

20.  See each parks fireworks show with the people I care about the most!

That's all of the things that I can think of at the moment, but I'm going to update it as soon as I think of other things!

Requirements for Lifeguarding

My role that I've been given for my DCP is lifeguard.  I'm already a lifeguard, but I am a Red Cross certified lifeguard which is basically useless down at Disney.  When I'm down at Disney I will have to be re-certified under Ellis Association?  (I think that's the name of it).  So the basic test for the lifeguarding that I will complete the first day is:

Prepare for a Swim Test (Lifeguards only)Lifeguard Cast Members are strongly encouraged to complete a practice swim test prior to arrival. The swim test consists of:

• Swim 200 yards (183 meters) freestyle or breaststroke

• Retrieve a 10-lb (4.5 kg) brick from the deepest section of the pool (minimum 8 feet / 2.4 meters)

• Tread water with hands out of the water for two minutes

Your official training and certification will be handled in Florida.

I'm not worried about the test at all because of being a lifeguard before I've done all of this and also since I was on a swim team for years this is rather easy for me.  The only thing I'm a little nervous about is that the types of water saves are different from Ellis to Red Cross.  Hopefully I pass all of my different tests which are doing different saves and a written test.  As of know I'm not sure if anything else is required but I will update you with what I have to do with it!

DAY 1

DAY 1 of 30 Day Disney Challenge

FAVORITE CHARACTER

This should come to no surprise to anyone that knows me who my favorite character is going to be...I bet you can guess it without having to look at the picture...

BUZZ LIGHTYEAR

He is hilarious and also a Space Ranger...what's better than that!  It's my goal when I go down for my program to actually meet Buzz Lightyear and get his signature!

The Survey

As part of the Disney College Program you live with 3 plus people in apartments located on the Disney World property.  The different housing options are Patterson, Chatham, and Vista Way.  Being me I don't really care all that much where I live but I'd prefer to live in Chatham but wouldn't protest to the others either.  So, I'm on a bunch of the Facebook get to know you pages and one of the things many people do is put together a survey so other people on the pages can view it and see if they would like to room or be suit mates together.  For me I didn't need the roommate part because Disney placed me with a roommate, but I am still on the search for suit mates that are arriving the same day as me.  It may end up if I don't find people that I'll just wait for Disney to place me again which I really don't care.  The only thing that I want out of people I live with are that they want to hangout, go to the parks, and have a good time when we are together.  I want to like living with these people that I'm going to live with.
