All about that home life - homesickness, cooking and decorating

3/31/14

(Note that stuff is not allowed to be tacked onto your walls... I did this before I knew it was against the rules.) A few people have asked me to discuss apartment-related topics such as homesickness, how to learn to cook and how to learn to decorate the apartment while sticking to the housing rules. These aren't of vital importance...

Cars, buses and tourists - oh my!

3/31/14

Source: dcp2014.files.wordpress.com Previously I wrote a post about housing, which is a very important thing to think about when entering the Disney College Program for many reasons. One such reason is transportation - whether you drive, use the provided buses or carpool with someone, deciding how you're going to get around can...

Your roommate survival guide

3/29/14

Trust me, we love each other. No really. So you've never lived with other people besides your family in your life. Not only that, but you also don't have to share your room with your siblings (assuming you have them).

An introduction to Disney housing (and housing myths debunked)

3/27/14

This is all well and good, but what if you're traveling by yourself AND flying - therefore...

Eating around the World - AKA my favorite restaurants and snacks

3/24/14

Look, nachos. Delicious nachos. I won't judge you if you drool. Since I have nothing better to do at this moment than sit and be hungry while I wait for dinner I've decided to write up a list of restaurants, foods and anything related to your stomach that I enjoyed on my last CP. Food was my one vice while in Florida...

100 things I learned on the DCP

3/22/14

My favorite park, Epcot. Hey all! For this post I'm going to write about some of the things I learned while on my program that no blog or Disney post ever taught me about. They might be helpful to you, they might be funny and they might just be useless little factoids. Also mixed in may or may not be...
