A Magical Proposal

A few months ago, I got engaged at one of the happiest places on earth. No, it wasn't Disney because I told the boyfriend that that would be the equivalent of being proposed to at work. Don't get me wrong, I know tons of people who had lovely engagements in the Magic Kingdom or Disneyland Resort. But every time I look down Main Street, I can't help but think of pushing an ice cream cart down the street in front of the three o'clock parade, frantically trying to sell to every guest flagging me down, while simultaneously trying not to get run over by the start of the parade. Happy memories! Just not an engagement-worthy location in my opinion.

So, what could be equally as magical? Hogwarts castle of course! We are both avid Harry Potter nerds, and it could not have been more perfect. It was the classic "Here stranger, can you take our picture?" When in reality, he asks them to take a video. I think it's a picture, and he pops the question! Truly magical!

It is also worth noting that we met while on the Disney College Program at ESPN Wide World of Sports!

The Odyssey

I have recently began writing for The Odyssey Online, which is a site made up of college students writing about most any topic they choose. If you would like to check out my Disney-related posts, here they are!

9 Controversial Lessons Disney Movies Taught Me
8 Reasons Not To Do The Disney College Program

Note that the second article is laced with sarcasm, and subliminally promotes the DCP! I have also covered topics ranging from Harry Potter to traveling to relationships.

I hope you are all enjoying the lovely spring weather. I love keeping up with those who are currently completing the Disney College Program - the pictures are fantastic and it makes me miss my home even more! I was recently able to go back to Disney World and visit all four parks. It was magical, as per usual!

Four Crazy Months

I've completed yet another Disney College Program, and it was life-changing as always! A lot has happened since I last blogged, so how about a quick refresher?

I went on a cruise to the Bahamas with the ODF crew.

I road-tripped to Key West and Fort Lauderdale with the MK ODF girls.

I worked the Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween parties!

I went to Disneyland! (Friends, take advantage of this while you work for the company. It's only $200 round trip if you book plane tickets at the right time, and you get in for free!)

I visited old friends in Utah.

I graduated from the Disney College Program (but missed graduation because my schedule hates me).

I flew to Scotland (what?!).

Then Ireland.

Then England.

Thailand, anyone?

 

 

Bali is paradise.

Hello, Singapore!

South Korea has the best airport (though it doesn't make for good pictures).

I returned to Seattle after being abroad for five weeks.

Then I left for Florida once again (I think I'm addicted!).

10 days until I leave for Hawaii!
