Spring Break

So I haven't been on here in a while, no excuse except *SPRING BREAK*, which is now coming to an end :(, *TEAR. Oh well, now back to the books and my Disney countdown. I still have a ways to go, August seems so far away. Good news tough, Darrell got accepted, bad news Nyeisha didn't, so now I have to find a roomie. I'm debating on if I want to find on ahead of time or do roommate matching randomly or just show up and see who I get, IDK yet. I need to learn how to video edit b/c I'm thinkin about startin a vlog to go with this blog, my mom is already asking me about it, she's gonna get skype so we can video chat while I'm down there, we'll see how this works out. Other than that I don't have too much to update on. So until next time... **EVERYBODY MAMBO**

Update! Update! Read All About It!

Good morning DCPers and others that are reading. I hope you all are holding up well with the wait, I myself am doinng much better than I was before. There isn't too much to update on but here it goes. I finally paid my program fee on March 2, yes i used the hundred bucks I won, (lucky me :)..), but I still haven't recieved my purple folder so I didn't have the 3-D glasses to play the 3-D game on the website. My arrivall date is August 18, not the earliest check in date or the latest, because I'm waiting to see if my cousin or boyfriend get accepted and if so I didn't want to have a common date that everyone else chose because then there would be a chance that the date would be booked up, for instance when I went to choose my date Aug 9th the first arrival date was already booked up becasue so many people wanted to be there as soon as possible, which is understandable but I'd much rather go down with the two of them. My cousin hasn't heard anything back but hopefully she will soon, she'll be graduating culinary arts school this summer so she would be going as a culinary cast member, and my boyfrined recieved a pending letter in the mail saying that he's pending a final decision until April 30th.. AWWW SO LONG AWAY!!! But I'm more than positive he'll get accepted. Other than that nothin much has been goin on Disney related. I haven't exactly planned if I'm comin a day early and staying over in one of the hotels by the check in place or if I'm going to catch an early early flight so that I can be down there in time. I'm thinking about investing in Space Bags, I've heard they come in handy. I haven't found a roommate yet, I guess becasue I haven't really been looking, but most females arriving on my check in date are over 21 and want to be in non wellness apartments so I don't exactly have a lot of choices plus I wanna wait to see if my cousin gets in becasue then I'll have a rommie for sure. I'm hoping she hears back fairly soon. Oh, and I got a job this past week at the YMCA so things are looking up, I'll be in school this summer and working to save up for those first 2 or 3 weeks without a paycheck. I guess I actually had a bit to update on, lol, but I do believe that's all for now. Until next time,... **EVERYBODY MAMBO**

Never Ceases To Amaze



Yesterday I recieved an e-mail from Disney saying that I had to pay the program fee by Tuesday or else I would have to give up my spot in the DCP. I didn't have the money and my mother was gonna help me but she ended up having car problems so I was left to fend for myself, so I just prayed to God about it and asked him if it was his will for me to go would he make a way soon so that I wouldn't miss the upcoming deadline. So, last I went to our school's girl's basketball game and entered in a halftime drawing that I ended up winning. How much did I win? A HUNDRED BUCKS!!! Almost exactly what the program fee is ($104.00) minus some. THANK YOU JESUS was all I could say. I was actually on the phone with my mom when they called my name and I was so shocked that I all I could do was start screaming and shakings for about 15 seconds before I finally accidentally hung up on my mom and went down to the court to claim my winnings. : ) Happiness... That turned my day from so-so to PURE EXCITEMENT!!! Yay for me! This is just another example of how my God Never Ceases To Amaze me. So, until next time... **EVERBODY MAMBO**

My Favorite Disney Moive

Welcome To Danniepooh's Orange Juice

I'm your host Danniepooh and I will be taking you on this Disney journey with me. I interviewed for the Disney College Program on Feb. 3, 2010 and was accepted less than two weeks later on Feb. 16, 2010 as a Fall Merchandise Cast Member! I will be going to Orlando in August, I'm not exactly sure what date yet and I will be coming back to Texas in January 2011. I'm so excited for all the memories to come, all the friends, and all the adventures. This was my third and final time applying to the WDWCP so I was overwhelmed when I recieved the purple e-mail. The first time I applied I didn't get accepted, the second time I did as a Quick Service Food and Beverage Cast Member, I paid the fee, bought my airplane tickets there and back and ended up not going. A lot of things changed and I had to give it up. I'd heard of people getting accepted and not going then applying again and not getting in so I was a little doubtful but hopeful when applying. Now it's all official, except one small thing,.... I haven't recieved my purple folder yet, but when I do I will post a picture or make a vlog. A little about me, I'm an engineering major at Texas A&M University-Commerce, originally from Dallas, Texas. My favorite color is orange hince the blog name, "Danniepooh's Orange Juice". I'm ready to meet all the other bloggers out there that will be doing the DCP in the Fall, so follow me and add me on face book... Until next time...**EVERYBODY MAMBO**
