Checking In...

I'm all checked in which means basically no turning back now.
Dad and I landed in Florida yesterday afternoon and heard when we landed that Utah got hit with a huge snowstorm. Hahahahahahaha. Sucks for them. It was really weird though flying in and seeing all the people boating or going to walmart and seeing so many people in shorts and tank tops. I'm like excuse me, this is January. What is going on here? Anyway, so last night after checking in we drove around, ate some food cause we were starving considering being on a plane all day-believe it or not the little bag of 6 mini pretzels isnt really filling. Yeah, we didnt even get peanuts. What the heck. We then went to Walmart, which let me tell you something. A language I have no idea what it was, was being talked frequently and it was busier than the Orem Walmart. Which what? Thats possible? Weird. Really weird. But it was out of control. And considering it being a Sunday night I was like yup, definitely not in Utah anymore.
This mornig [Which came way too soon. Mornings Suck!] after checking out of the motel and eating breakfast, away we went to check in. They sent me one place and sent my dad another place to just sit around with other parents. Lucky him. Little signs with Disney characters lined the walk way to where I went and a nice lady gave me a little name tag. I kept forgetting I had it and kept thinking everyone was an incredible guesser when I would walk up and they would call me by name. Aca-awkward.
I met two girls in line and we decided to room together. We wanted Chatham but guess what. They were completely full. The nice man didnt have a single place for us. So we wanted Patterson. Nope, completely full as well. So we were like alright what about Commons (which is where most the international people stay-perfect way to get in with a hottie British babe) Nopppppppe. Full. So we got put into Vista Way which is the last place I wanted but whatever. We then got put on a bus and they took us to the Casting building where they did background checks and all that fun stuff.
Oh my word. I cant believe I have yet to mention the most exciting part. My new role. I will be doing Merchandise.....in the Magic Kingdom.....in Fantasyland!!! I am so excited!! Everyone else who checked in that I talked to who was also doing merchandise is in Downtown Disney. Which, i'm sure thats gonna be a blast, obviously, but i'm stoked to be in a park. And the new Fantasyland with that!
We are now done for the day. Tomorrow we have a housing meeting. Wednesday we have absolutely nothing. And Thursday is when it all starts with Traditions. I actually secretly wish I didnt have the free day Wednesday. I just want to get started. I know training is going to stress me out though trying to learn everything but whatever. So far all the workers are incredibly nice so thats helpful! :)
After unpacking the time came for my dad to leave. :( Surprisingly it was hard to see him go. I have no idea why. My roommate came into my room a little after he left and she was like "Oh your dad left? Are you okay?" Hahaha I started laughing I was like Uh yeah, i've been living on my own for over a year and a half.
The journey has officially begun. Lets do this.

In the car after I landed. So excited to be in warmth

My dad got a pin that said Proud Parent and he was wearing it around. Haha kills me
Checked in. 

Not related but I saw this at Walmart. Besides the fact its for a 7 year old and the pictures of the boys are 2 years old...The message is correct! :)
