Still no good news as of yet...but late October is officially less than a month away. It seems like it's been forever since my phone interview, but technically it's been less than a month. Hopefully I can take the wait.
For the first few weeks after my phone interview, I was really confident. I felt like I had done well on all the stages of the application, and I felt like I wanted to get in so badly that it was bound to happen. But for the past few weeks, I haven't felt nearly as confident.
My mother is the person I complain to about how long this whole process is taking. She loves Disney almost as much as I do, but she's more practical about it. She keeps saying that there might be something I'm supposed to do here, and that there will be an important reason if I don't get in. That might be helpful if I actually receive a rejection email, but until then it's just bumming me out a bit.
But I'm still holding out hope. The majority of applicants haven't heard back yet, and I'm probably not as special as I feel...
Just in case I don't get in, I've informed my family that I'll need a sadness trip to Disneyland. I have money saved up for the DCP acceptance fees as well as the flight out to Florida, and it would make me really sad to spend it on anything other than Disney. So tentatively, if the DCP app doesn't go as I hope, I could be in Disneyland the week before Thanksgiving!
That thought, that pretty soon I'll be in Disney no matter what, is really what's keeping me going. In the fall seasons, I do concessions at my university's football games. Last year, it wasn't a huge time commitment, only about five hours per game day, which was around every other week. It was fun, and I legitimately enjoyed it.
But this year, I was promoted. I was put in charge of a stand TWICE as big as the one I worked at last year, which so far means I work TWICE as long for each game. And not only that, but they're also making me work soccer games, go to long, boring meetings, and come in the day before games to do inventory and stock my refrigerators.
As I put it into words it genuinely doesn't seem that bad, but it is. I have my normal 20-hour-a-week job on top of concessions, which means that for the past two weeks I've essentially been working full time. Plus going to class and doing homework, so I have very little free time and I always feel pretty exhausted.
Thus thoughts of spending 5-8 months at Disney World are pretty much sustaining me right now. That and eating junk food. So, to wrap up this post of mostly whining, here's a little bit of both! My food plan for weeks 7 and 8 of my hypothetical DCP.
Week Seven:
1. Short Ribs at Chefs de France.
2. Almond Crusted Cheesecake at Narcoossee's. I've heard some pretty amazing things about this particular dessert. And it's hard to go wrong with cheesecake.
Week Eight:
1. 'Ohana All you can Eat. My second favorite meal in all WDW. Oh, how I could rave about the food. But I'll refrain for now.
2. Chocolate Croissant from Las Halles. The gorgeous bakery in EPCOT is pretty much a major theme of this here food plan.
That's all for this week! You know, unless I get a particularly exciting email...
Fingers crossed!

Is it bad that I'm already hoping my daughters do the DCP....and they're only 6 and 5??
