I missed a call from a California number earlier today, and had a message from Annette with the Disney College Program. She said that she had an update on my application, and to call back and leave a message letting her know when she could trying calling again. I called, left the message that I would be available anytime today, (code for OMGPLEASEPLEASEPLEASECALLNOW I'M GOING TO BE STARING AT MY PHONE UNTIL YOU DO) and proceeded to sit and stew for a good 20 minutes over what she needed to tell me. It's only been a week since I had my phone interview. Was she calling to tell me I'd been denied? That I messed up my application? Or....I'd been accepted? I didn't really think it could be the last one, since only a week had passed and Wendy, (so appropriate :)) my phone interviewer, had said it would be a 4-6 week wait time.
Thankfully, before I could explode, Anette called back! And she said the very thing I have been wanting to hear since I decided I wanted to do the college program in middle school:
"We'd like to offer you a role as an attractions hostess for ourFall College Program in Disneyland!"
I really don't know what else she or I said during the phone call, haha :) She said she'd send me the email with instructions on how to accept soon, and then told me she was glad I was so excited.
So, it is now official! I'm so, so happy that I got my first choice for a role! Honestly, I would have taken anything just to be able to go, but it's a definite bonus to get the one I was really hoping for!
Now the adventure begins! I noticed quite a few people in the DCP do blogs, and it seemed like a fun idea :)

And now....the wait until August 18th, my check in day! And the billion and one things that need done before then :)
