WDW College Program and Becca Joy Shelor are in a relationship.

It's official, kids! I've signed my life away, ponied up for the initial deposit, and have my dates. Ladies and gentlemen, mark your calendars - from 19 January until 5 August Becca Joy Shelor and WDW College Program will be in a relationship. A close, tight, wonderfully intermingled and inseparable relationship. I'm legitimately thrilled wayyyy more every day. Better still, I got everything squared away with the University so I'll be able to go back to college after Disney. Yay semi-affordable education!

So, as I finished up my homework and am now sitting in the school library on a Friday night (I know, cool, right?) studying up on my Disney Trivia I have some information to share!

1. Did you know that there are 5 cars in each Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover train? It's true. Never more, never less.
2. Forgotten princesses include Kida (Atlantis), Eilonwy (The Black Cauldron), Melody (The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea) Mei, Ting-Ting, and Su (Mulan 2), Tiger Lily (Peter Pan - take that, pixie...you're ousted by a legitimate princess!), Aquata, Andrina, Attina, Adella, Arista and Alana (The Little Mermaid...much as I love Ariel, the rest of her family's got a bum deal.) and, to my surprise, Meg (Hercules) is a bonafide princess. Google her mythology...even if you disregard the ones where she's princess of Thebes, she does marry Hercules - prince of the gods? Yea. She's legit. Who knew? Lookit all those princesses! It's insane.
3. You know you're a Disney fanatic if:
- you have the urge to present your newborn high up on a rock
- if you can't exit a vehicle, EVER, without gathering up all of your personal belongings and taking small children by the hand
- if you wake up every morning singing, "there's a big bright beautiful tomorrow shining at the end of every day!" and your bedroom rotates to connect to the bathroom
- if the neighborhood children won't let you play the Disney Trivia game with them because you yell out the answers to everyone else's questions
- if the rooms in your home are identified by lands - Living Land, Dining Land, Bath Land, Sleep Land, etc
- if you call Disney just to have them put you on hold to enjoy a taste of Disney hold music

Thinkin'....about thinkin'.

I feel very justified in the fact that my playlist on Pandora, on my ipod, and in my head has been very Disney (I mean, more than usual) and it's interesting to see what I'm drawn to. Right now, I cannot get enough of A Greater Treasure Than A Friend from Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure. Maybe I'm sentimental. I mean, certainly I am sentimental, but maybe I'm a little sappy. I am excited, over the moon about my internship I am very aware of what it will cost. I know it won't be the easiest transition ever, but that's okay. It's going to take  a lot of work, but this is really good for me and I'll just have to manage everything else.

Did you know? A Cast Member will never say, "I don't know." They will either have an answer or they will very promptly find one. Test it? Yes.

Placement!

Alrighty - I am sticking with Main Enterance Operations (MEO, as the cool kids call it). There are a lot more boxes to check before I'm Disney bound, but a day at a time is my current philosophy.

I feel like I should be flaunting my smarts through this process, so I'm thinking a Disney fact with each entry is in order. I owe two as I did not have a fact in my last post.
1. Disney owns Desperate Housewives. There's some mediary steps between those, like, Disney is the big umbrella parent company,but still...Wisteria Lane is not what I usually associate with the Mouse...
2. The Disney Princess franchise didn't start until 2000...so other girls my age who wonder why your Mom's didn't dress you up and deck you out in princess couture, don't begrudge them - it didn't exist when we were small and adorable (or smaller and more adorable, in my case).

A dream is a wish your heart makes

Well, today, the 19th of October, as I turn nineteen and a half, I have the first step in my hands. I am going to Disney World in January as a participant in their college program. I have literally never been more excited. I've been dreaming about being a Disney princess since I was little, and actively planning for it since the fourth grade. And now, now I have the chance. It's coming true. I'm in love and over the moon enthusiastic about this whole experience!
