"Welcome to the Team!"

That's right!  As of last Saturday evening, I am officially a CP!!!  I could not be more excited for all of the amazing adventures waiting for me at WDW <3

So, a little about accepting your offer: the process was painless, but still a little nerve-wracking.  I accepted my offer, and within half an hour I received an email asking me to submit my program fees.  After I did that, it took less than a half an hour to receive an email inviting me to select my program dates, but here's where things got sticky.  They didn't have any arrival dates open for Attractions Cast Members!!!  I panicked and randomly selected one of the other ones, figuring it would be better to have to reschedule than to have my offer expire.  As it turns out, that was a good decision!  I read something yesterday evening about someone who didn't select a date because there weren't any available for his role and whose offer expired - he had to jump through a ton of hoops to get back into the program, and I'm not even sure if he was successful.

Anyway, I called someone and there wasn't anything she could do but tell me to reschedule and email recruiting if that didn't work.  So I rescheduled and - bet you didn't see this one coming - there still weren't any Attractions dates!!!  I just selected the same date I already had and then emailed the address. This afternoon I received a third "Welcome to the Team!" email (they send you one after you select your program dates), and since I didn't try to reschedule today, I'm just going to assume that means I'm still going to arrive on February 3rd!

An aside: as my school, sophomores had registration on Monday, and the protocol for going to the DCP is just not to register.  And I PANICKED when my registration time passed and I didn't click that little "Register" button!!!  I don't know why, but I guess on some level I was freaked out that something would go horribly wrong and I wouldn't be able to go to the DCP /or/ come back to UNC next semester!  Silly, I know. :End aside

After accepting my offer, I joined a couple of Facebook groups - and, let me just tell you, the CPs of S/SA 2014 are an active group of people!  My newsfeed is almost entirely filled up with CP stuff now. Not that I'm complaining - we're going to have so much fun! :)

I think that's about all for now.  My current quest is to find a roommate (or three).  Wish me luck!  I'm sure I'll update when I have one!!

I hope everyone is having a magical day! <3 Only 82 days until I leave!!
