Disney Magic in NYCIn January 2006 I started a journey that would eventually change my life forever. For in October 2005 I had discovered an awesome opportunity. It was called the Walt Disney College Program. I knew I had to try and get in. So I did all the requirements and in November I recieved my pack. I had gotten in and was to start January 9th 2006. As January got closer I began to buy more things needed for my stay. Well when I first got down there I had to go through many different processes before I found out where I would be working. I knew that I would be wor
Main Street MemoryHere, my classmate whispered in language arts class, dropping a pin in my lap. I figured you would love this much more than me. I was writing in my notebook and listened to her, but I didnt care until I rested my hand on my lap and felt it with my fingers. It was quite small and I decided to look down and see what it was. Immediately spotting the design of the pin Mickey ears on a plane I had to ask her where she found it. I got it from a cast member at Disney World, she replied without my asking. A random present. You know how they do that. &nbs
DreamsMy family and I went to Disney last year. We had decided to get a Fastpass for Test Track, but as we went over to it, a Disney employee stopped us. My first thought was that the Fastpass machines were broken, but I couldnt have been further off. The man asked us how we would like to skip the whole line and just ride Test Track right away.

I didnt believe it until he took us around through the exit, into a hallway Id never seen. He
Contest Entry: Bambi'sBambis: A New Vegetarian Restaurant Disneyland Resort offers its guests a broad variety of lunch and dining options, from the fine cuisine and full table service of the Blue Bayou and Ariels Grotto to the everyday fare at the Village Haus and Pizza Oom Mow Mow. However, one thing that is so far lacking is a vegetarian restaurant. Vegetarian options exist at most resort eateries, but why should guests who dont eat meat have to scour every menu in order to find something to their tastes? How can a park resort located in California, and catering primarily to local visitors, lack something as basic to California cul
SKI - Central AvenueCentral Avenue In place of Main Street USA Attractions ---- Maleficent's Castle; Maleficent's towering black castle stands above nearly everything in Shadow Kingdom. Guests who walk into the main foyer of the castle discover that there are stained glass murals featuring the most menacing of the Disney villains surrounding them. On the guest's left are Snow Queen, Lady Tremaine and her daughters, and Maleficent. On the guest's right, there are Ursula, Gaston and Jafar. Just past the Maleficent stained glass window is a hallway where guests can enter the dungeons, where a dormant dragon (audio-animatronic) lay sleeping.
SKI - Deep JunglePlease note: There have been rumors flying around Disney World since before I started working here about them building a fifth theme park based on the villains. Since I have yet to hear them either confirm or deny this, I have been working on these ideas in my head of what I would like to see. None of this is real. It's all my ideas, and as much as I would LOVE to see it happen, I doubt it will unless I can get my foot in the Imagineering department and Disney suddenly is exempt from the awful crisis running through our country's economy. Also, Shadow Kingdom is a working title. I like the way it sounds. It's cool. It's also IDEN
