The Kayla Diaries: Part Two

"You can't blame a writer 

for what the characters say."

Sometimes, I wonder what my life would be like right now had I not been accepted into the Disney College Program, how my semester would have ended or how my summer would have taken place. Would I be knee-deep in classes I hated right now or would I still be taking the semester off? I don't regret coming down here, I actually really love this program. It's changed me in sooooo many ways. I feel like I've grown in so many ways, become more independent, and learned what it means to "hit rock bottom". Sometimes I will admit I don't make the best of this. Hell, I rarely even look on the bright side, but lately I've learned that all good things come to an end. This program being one of them.

It's sad to think that in 97 days my program will be coming to an end. I never imagined that I would be accepted, let alone living in Orlando, working at the happiest place on Earth! I might not always get along with my roommates, although I love them all, we fight like a family. I might now live the most luxurious life right now, but this is only temporary, and I am just passing through. As much as I would like to say I am living the high-life here in Sunny Florida in my apartment, that would be a lie. I don't know who thought cramming six girls into a three bedroom apartment, in an apartment complex with a cockroach problem, was a good idea. Whoever it was should reconsider their life choices. 

I get a lot of comments on how "honest" and "real' my blogs are...I don't think anything I have published so far has been this truthful about the way I think. I think that's because I have been writing this in my journal .... Shocker, a writer with a journal. I thought that my blog would be my place to vent..but publicly putting everything thought I have about every little thing out there for everyone to read... scares me. 

What if I offended someone?

I want to post honest things, about my life and my journey. 

So here's my days events (09-30-2014, just to clarify because I don't know what time it will be when I am posting this) 

Woke up to Inspections! Just to find out someone hung a pumpkin on the out side of our door and it was violating housing community codes! No holiday spirit here in housing, apparently. But for the first time since I got here we surprisingly passed almost everything on the inspection list! We got to go get free cookies from the desk. But apparently my name is now "Kalia" .... Uhmm no. 

I spent my morning working on my previous blog(which will be linked below, incase you haven't seen it yet) and finishing 'Where She Went' which is the second book to "If I Stay". It was really good! I then started "Matched" also almost done with that! I cleaned a lot today too, sick of living in a mess. 

As my day off comes to an end, I'll probably just be going to bed after posting this. Nothing to crazy! 

As October starts I feel as though I will be slightly more emotional, as it is my birth month...my first birthday without my mom. Being October, and feeling this way, I thought it was fitting that it be my month of Positivity. It's this thing we do here in 611 each month it's someones month to "be positive" so we have this calendar in the living room and each day of our month we write a positive quote on the calendar. It's cute, and something that reminds us not everything around here is so strict. 

Lately, I feel like I'd rather be lost in a book or my writing to keep my sane. It's become my escape, so I apologize again for the increase in posts lately. 

I hope this shed some light on my life! 

Have a Magical day!

98 days left of my Disney College Program and solo trips!

Wow. That's crazy to think about. Ninety-eight days until I walk onto an airplane and begin my journey back home. This time five to six months ago I was setting count downs on my phone, counting down to the number of days until I would move my entire life to Orlando for this life changing program. As I sit here writing this it brings so many mixed emotions to mind. 
1.) I've finally reached double digits, I can finish this
2.) Oh my god, It literally makes me so sad that I will be leaving. 
3.) I can't wait to see my family and friends. 

It's a happy and said realization that in just a few short months I will be going home. I am happy to say that even though things have been on the bad side lately they are starting to look up and I am living every day with a smile on my face, or at least trying too. 
As the holiday season, and even my birthday get closer I can't help but be kind of emotional that I won't be with Family or friends. It's weird because I usually don't think of holidays as anything more than a normal day, and now that I don't have the luxury of having those family times I am kind of dreading it. 

BUT enough of this sappy nonsense. I went to Magic Kingdom yesterday on a solo trip, and ended up running into an old friend that was visiting for the day! I didn't take a lot of pictures, I actually didn't take any photos until I was on my way out! Here they are though

Fall has finally reached the Magic Kingdom! 

Even though it was cloudy and rainy for a majority of the day,

you could still see the beauty that this magical place has.

 And then on my way to catch the bus...

The sky didn't look so horrible, when I got to the Contemporary the sky decided it was going to open up. And I was caught in the worst rain storm I have see yet. By the time I got home I looked like a drowned rat and I was colder than cold.

I did film a couple clips on my iphone, as I still don't have a camera! But they won't end up in a blog for a couple more days at least! 

Have a magical day! 

Month Four (Late)

So looking back through my blog posts, I noticed that I have done a "month...." post for every month I have been down here in Good Old Florida. But apparently I did not do one for Month four. I hit my four month mark on September 19th, 2014. Since August 19th, 2014 I have learned several things, made several mistakes, and done some amazing things. 

I realized along the way that I wanted to quit the program after month two, but in doing so all the things I heard before I left. "You won't make it" or "see you in a few weeks" I refuse to let those things label me. I am not a quitter, and this program may break me, and it may suck 95% of the time. But there is real magic here. 

I've been blogging a lot more lately, so you all know what I have done, I will be posting some of my favorite memories of the past month but first: 

So now to revisit my bucket list that I had made before my arrival date:
1.) Get into the Disney College Program.
2.) See "The magic, the memories, and you" Show at Cinderella Castle.
3.) Eat at Chef Mickey's
4.) Walk down Main Street
5.)Make a wish at the wishing well
6.)Eat an entire kitchen sick with friends
7.)See Magic Kingdom all dressed up for Halloween
8.)See the Castle covered in lights at Christmas time.
9.) Go to Gaston's Tavern in New Fantasy Land
10.)Ride Splash Mountain
11.)Eat a Dolewhip
12.)Go to Epcots food and wine festival
13.)Eat a Mickey Bar
14.)Take my family to Disney World
15.) Get a Picture with all the Characters - All characters regularly available to meet.

Meeting this wonderful girl!! 

Longest four days of my life.

Hello everyday! As I sit here trying to hold my eyes open after the crazy schedule I have had for the past week, I felt the need to write something. 
My housing rent wavier was denied, sadly. My leader is not trying to resubmit it and get it approved based on different information. So here's to hoping that goes through! 
I worked till close last night, which is 1 a.m. and then had to be back at 9 a.m. after only getting three hours of sleep due to the buses and ride home and having to eat and get ready...It's been a long few days! 

I met this couple today from London. Two wonderful women on their first vacation as a married couple. Which is glorious in itself, but they also have a 3 year old son! They showed me lots of pictures and told me all about their wonderful three week stay here in sunny Orlando Florida. 
I was also recognized for being "Magical" by a guest and received a four keys card.

So here's a quick little update on my life! 

Struggling to survive, and something good about Vista way!

So as must of you now know I was pulled from work for a couple days last week due to a medical reason. I went to housing and told them about it and they said they would waive my rent fees because I wasn't working enough that week. I called my leaders after housing said they would send an email to them asking them to fill out the paper work to move this process along. I was told it had been filled out and not to worry about.

Come to find out it wasn't filled out or submitted at all. Irritating right? So today when my paycheck totaled a huge amount of $0.00 I went back down to housing to ask them what had happened. Which is where I found out it hadn't been submitted.
They resent the email to my leaders to submit the paper work, so that they could refund the rent that was taken and stop it from taking the rest out this coming week.
She apologized 100 times for them and then sent me off to pick up this :

A weeks worth of food, for free. She had the service center get it ready for me and had me pick it up.
So as bad at it is that they screwed this whole thing up for me, it's nice to know that they still made sure I wouldn't starve to death or go without due to this error. My paperwork has been submitted and I have to go down tomorrow morning and find out if it has been approved.

P.S. THANKS AGAIN LIBBY and NATE

It's going to be a rough couple of days due to my schedule which is why I am posting two blogs, and my vlog all in the same day...Because I don't think I will have time to really post or update again until my next day off.
But that day I will be FINALLY be going to a park for the first time since the 16th. It feels like forever and a half since I have been to one, and I feel as though I need to get some more videos from my adventures in the parks!

Thanks for reading guys, and be sure to check these out as well!
Today's Previous Blog
AND
Weekly Vlog #1
I say in the intro to my Vlog that it is going to be a short one, well that was a lie. Apologizing ahead of time here first before anyone gets upset with that. 
It's not a very interesting vlog, just some daily things it;s rather boring. They will get more exciting when I get back to the parks! So keep checking for those! and thanks for reading! 
Have a magical day! 

The ideas in our head.

Before I arrived on May 19th and started the journey of my Disney College Program, I had all these ideas of what it would be like. Whether it was something I read online on a blog, or heard in a Youtube vlog, or even from friends that have also done the program, I formed these ideas about how living down here was going to be, and working, and just the program in general. After talking with fellow college program members I have also discovered they did this too, and so far this program isn't living up to anyone's ideas of what it would be like. 

Yes, we knew we would be working a lot. They do stress that you will be working a lot of hours, and by a lot of hours they mean some weeks you can, and most likely will, work 50+ hours a week. They do say you will have two days off most weeks. That can sometimes mean you will only get one day off, or no days off. It's stressful. Not to mention that sometimes (and by sometimes I mean often) they like to schedule shifts like: Monday: 4pm-11pm and Tuesday 7am-1pm. So you have the 8 hours in between shifts that way they don't have to pay you overtime. Those shifts are horrible, especially if you have to take the bus. which can take 40 minutes to 1 hours to get back to the apartment complexes. 

Let's just say that the Disney College Program has some Pros and a lot of Cons. If you plan to stay with the company after the program, you better apply for a Professional Internship (Also known as a P.I.), that is if you plan to move up in the company. You thought the CP was competitive, wait till you start the application process for that. 

Housing is another story in general. Your experience there totally depends on which complex you live in, and who your roommates are, and how well you all get along. These people are your family, basically, for the remainder of your program. You might as well make the best of it, no matter the situation. If you look at it the wrong way, you will make yourself miserable the rest of your time here. So why not try and see the positive, if the situation allows for the positive.  

You may not always like your job, or your leaders or fellow cast members, or even your housing situation, but you don't have too. You just have to focus on the opportunity at hand. 
I have said to countless individuals, a countless number of times, that I want to go home. I do want to go home. I don't want to be here another minute, but I am not a quitter and I am not about to give up on this. 

Sometimes, this program is all just too much to handle...and you feel like you can't keep your head above water. It's not an easy program. Yes, they pay us. but they pay us below minimum wage and take rent out, on top of taxes. So we bring home around $100 a week (give or take) but we need food,  some of us have bills to pay, and everyone just wants to have some fun. It's difficult to find the balance some days. 

I would never talk anyone out of doing this program, I have found my voice and myself in doing this program and it means the world to me. Disney will always hold a dear place in my heart. Although I will never work for the company again after I leave in January I will always return as a guest. 

I love Disney. I really do, and I have a love/hate relationship with the program. But I try sometimes to see the best in it. 
Have a magical day guys! 

Worrying

"Worrying won't stop the bad stuff from 

happening, it just stops you from 

enjoying the good."

This quote fits my life perfectly right now. Let's just say that September has not exactly been my month. It's just been a series of one bad event after another. But if I keep focusing on that I will begin ignoring the good things that have actually happened this month. 

For Example: I got to meet Olivia (Finally), Chrissy came down for a visit and we had a great time. I got to experience a Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, where I feel in love with the 'Boo To You' parade, and Hallowishes. Tomorrow I am going to Magic Kingdom opening with my bestfriends, Ashley and Amber, because Ashley and I have never seen the park opening! 

So, I have decided to look past all the bad things that have happened this month and enjoy the amazing times I have had so far. 

But since we are on the topic of bad things that have happened this month, since being pulled out for medical only allowed me to really work the equivelent of one day my pay check was supposed to be $55.57, and housing was going to waive my rent fee due to this fact. Well, they did not! they took out a majority of my rent, and taxes, and now will be taking the remaining rent next week. Cool. My normal rent plus the remaining $39.00. 

Thank you Disney housing for that. 

So here's to being positive. 

Have a magical day! 

P.S. My last post got 81 views! That's the most I have ever had! So thank you guys for reading, and following me on this (sometimes) amazing journey! 

It wouldn't be the DCP if someone didn't end up in the ER.

So I gave my mom a small heart attack last night. I had just gotten to work when I noticed my chest seemed really tight and I was kind of short of breath. I didn't think anything of it suffering from a digestive disease and sometimes I just get a really tight abdominal cavity. But shortly after I noticed it was getting worse and I was finding it harder and harder to breathe correctly. Which made me panic. It was interrupting my job and my leader certainly noticed, he was really nice and understanding and let me leave. 
That's when I called my roommate, Libby Oppy, and left her a voicemail along the lines of "Libby *Sob* I need you *Sob* to call me *sob* as soon as you get this" and she of course panicked and called me right back. 
SO I then spent the next two hours in the ER, after they told me all my symptoms pointed to a collapsed lung. Thankful it was not that. I somehow managed to pull the muscles in between each of my ribs all the way up the right side of my rib cage. Making it difficult to expand my chest cavity, which made it difficult to breathe in. 

All and all it wasn't a horrible trip to the ER, and I am so thankful it wasn't something worse! 

So with that being said, Thank you to my wonderful roommate Libby Oppy, for being there for me last night when the only person on the face of this planet that I wanted was my mom. I don't think I have ever been so afraid of the thought of her not being the one sitting with me in the ER. I am so glad I have a roommate like Libby who would drop whatever it was that she was doing and take me to the hospital. I love you girl, to the moon and all the freakin way back. Stay beautiful Sunshine. 

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Let me start by saying that nothing I have done so far here at Walt Disney World has blown me away, but last night I stood completely jaw dropped on Main Street U.S.A. watching the Hallowishes. I cannot even explain in words how amazing those fireworks were. I was absolutely amazing by everything that had to offer there last night, the candy spots, the characters, the fireworks, and the parade. Everything was breath taking. 

I cannot have asked for a better experience with better people last night. It was amazing. 
I wanna thank Olivia for coming to my rescue when I said I was going to be going alone! She bought a ticket and costume the morning of to go with me, and then ended up completing her costume once we were in Magic Kingdom.

It was a long night, actually a long day, but I wouldn't have done it any other way! 

There is a vlog that contains all the photo's because I can't flood this with all of them! but I will be posting them all on my personal Facebook as well! and when the vlog is finished uploading I will share the link in the bottom of them post

Update: My memories.

"Sometimes when things are 

F

   a

         l

             l

                       ing

apart, they may actually be falling 

into place."

So I know I just posted a short life update, and it was lacking in a lot of ways. I apologize for that. As you can see though my life hasn't been full of too many wild and crazy adventures lately... I figured I would recap some of my favorites though. This is mainly to remind myself that even though I think things are rough right now, they are always better than they seem. I may seem pretty down sometimes, but that's only when I sit down and actually think about all the things I am missing out on back home. Like: Apple picking. It's something I have done every years, just about, since I was really young. It's a tradition and I won't be there to do it this year. Oddly enough they don't go apple picking in Florida. Fall is my favorite season, and it's a gorgeous time of year back in New York, it's just not the same in Florida. 

So let's jump into a recap of my most recent adventures. 

Watching the Festival of Fantasy with someone I haven't seen in a really long time. This parade will always hold a special place in my heart, and the fact that I got to share it's magic with someone who had never even been to Disney World was so amazing. I'm sure the look she had on her face the entire time was the same look I had on my face the first time I saw it. 

Celebrating Whitney's birthday, and eating dinner at the Crystal Palace. We didn't do anything out of the ordinary this day, we went to the park, rode some rides, watched the parades and fireworks, and ate dinner. But it was the people I was with the memories we made that made it so special to me. 

The All-Stars day out, and some of my roommates. Even though this day was planned way last minute, and half the people invited didn't end up showing up, it was still a magical day. We rode Dinosaur, ate at Pizzafari, and shopped, saw the festival of the lion king and laughed a lot. It was a great day. 

The same day I got to share my favorite parade with an old friend I also got to meet a new friend. Olivia! Whose probably going to read this any time now as well. It was a long over do first meeting, but she met us at the exit of the Kilimanjaro Safari ride and as soon as we saw each other we hugged and it was like we had been friends for years. We did a lot in animal kingdom that day, but my favorite was eating at the Rainforest Cafe. It was soooooo good! 

 The day I fell in love with this Stud (Gaston, for all of you non-Disney fans). He's just perfect. Aside from using me as an arm rest. He wouldn't give me back my autograph book, handed it to a complete stranger and said "I never hand a book to a girl, they have more important things to do: Like stare at me."  Swoon. 

That one time Ashley and I swooned hardcore over our fantasy boyfriend: Peter Pan. He's also wonderful. Asked if I was Pirate (because of my tattoos) and when I said no, he responded with "Well, be careful or Hook with try and get ya" 

That time I made myself be confident in my own skin, and dare to be brave. It helped that Aurora told me I was gorgeous. 

The day I made my mom cry because she finally had a picture of her baby with her favorite character. She's had one of my brother with Eeyore and now she has one of me with him as well. 

That one time I only waited 20 minutes to meet everyone's favorite Ice Queen. 

The time Murphy some how convinced me to go to EPCOT in the middle of a thunder and lightening storm. Where I screamed the entire run back to the car because I was sure we were going to get struck by lightening. 

Experiencing Hollywood Studios with these beautiful ladies.

 So I have to say something about this gorgeous girl. I can call her at 2 a.m. whining about how I got in trouble at work because my roots were showing and she will show up ready to dye my hair. From adventures to walgreens with her yelling about being Princess Tiger Lilly to late night talks in my apartment. I know she's there for me whenever I need her, and I honestly couldn't ask for a better bestfriend. Taylor Swift (A.K.A Amber, I love you with all my heart. 

I cannot even begin to tell you how much of an impact these five ladies have made on my life, the memories we are going to have after this program ends are going to be life long, and so will our friendships. We may not always get along, which is most days, but no matter how you feel about someone that day if they truly need you we put hurt feelings aside and are there for one another. These girls really are my family right now, and without them I would have given up months ago. 

I love you all.  These are just a fraction of the amazing memories I had made so far, if I were to post them all it would be a really long blog. 

Have a magical day everyone! 

Update: My life as Kayla.

" I literally have to remind myself all the time,  

that being afraid of things going wrong

isn't the way to make things go right." 

 So my life lately has been relatively boring. I haven't done much of anything but work and sleep. With three days off on my hands right now I have accomplished two things: 

1.) Doing all my laundry - including all my bedding and work clothes

2.) Buying my ticket for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, which is actually tomorrow night (9-16-14) 

In a twisted turn of events I ended up without someone to go with tomorrow, but thanks to Olivia I no longer have to go alone! I am so excited to see her and make some once in a life time memories 

I don't even know what I want to do first tomorrow, but I know for sure I want to see the "Boo to you" parade! and watch hallowishes! 

I am currently spending my day off watching TLC and eating chicken wings. But I did venture out this morning to Disney University and to Cast Connection, and Property Control. I picked up some groceries.

Today was one of those days where you constantly have to remind yourself that you are living a dream, in a once in a life time dream. That someday you will look back on and probably not remember it being as horrible as it was at the time, you will only see the good. 

More on my life in the days to come after the party tomorrow night. 

Animal Kingdom Adventures followed by Magic Kingdom Adventures!

Today was a lot, to but it light;y. We got soooo soooo very much accomplished. It was almost to much to put in a blog, photo wise, but I have made a vlog about it that I am currently uploading to Youtube.com on my channel. The links to the recent video and my channel will both be posted at the bottom of this blog.

So my day started out at 6:45 a.m. No surprise I was absolutely miserable about that, but totally worth it considering this will be the first time I have made it too a park opening. But a struggle none the less. By 8:05 a.m. I was on my way to Animal Kingdom to spend the day with an old friend, and a new friend. Animal Kingdom's park open was nothing amazing, we pretty much just stood in a long line and waited to scan our passes.
It was my first time using my guest passes so I was a little nervous as to their usage and whether or not two parks would count as one pass usage or two. Fingers crossed it was actually just one, everyone I spoke to ahead of time said it would be!

We had a great time in Animal Kingdom, and we ended it by eating at the Rainforest Cafe, which was literally to die for good. I ate a turkey wrap called the "rumble in the jungle turkey wrap" It was really good.


After Animal Kingdom we said goodbye to Olivia, and moved onto our next adventure. Magic Kingdom, and let me start by saying:
The Halloween decorations are PERFECT. It was heaven. I loved it.

We had a really good time there! We pretty much walked on every single ride we went on!

Grocery shopping and personal space.

Went grocery shopping the other day, all by myself, because everyone else was at work. I've never had to take the bus to Walmart for an actual shopping trip...so this proved to challenging because I didn't consider having to carry it all back to my third floor apartment by myself. 

So when it came time to get on the bus my first challenge was getting it all out of the cart and on to the bus....Should have been called the struggle bus, because the struggle was sooooo real. 

My groceries and myself took but three seats and some of the floor in front of me.

If I had this much trouble getting it on to the bus, which was like a 10 foot walk and one step up, how the hell was I going to get it from the bus stop back to my building? 

Answer: I didn't. 

I dropped EVERYTHING! in the road half way to my building. A nice girl walking by asked if I needed help and started picking things up. Me being me said no I was fine and could get it on my own. She insisted on helping me and picked up a bunch of my bags. I thanked her half a dozen times as we reached my apartment. The good news, nothing was broken! 

Note to self: Wait for someone to be able to A.) drive you B.) Go with you to the store next time. 

Up until I was close to 16 I have always had my own room. I've never lived on a college campus. So the only experience I have ever had with roommates for the 2 years I shared my room with my two step sisters. Who were only at our house certain days of the week.

That was nothing like this. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind sharing...as long I am asked. If it's food, yeah I don't care, just don't eat the last of whatever it is and not tell me or replace it. But when it comes to my clothes, my makeup, my jewelry, or hygiene products: Don't touch them. 

I don't think anyone has the right to use any of my stuff without asking, that's such an invasion of my personal space and privacy. I've never had to deal with this problem because my step sisters weren't into any of that stuff when they shared a room with me, they were to young. So, I will admit sometimes I overreact slightly to this when it takes place. 

But it just really rubs me the wrong way. Like I can't imagine someone going through my stuff like that without asking me. It's just disrespectful.

I assume I am going to get a lot of crap about this post, as it could come off offensive. But frankly I don't care. 

I am sick of dealing with disrespectful people. If this program didn't mean everything to me I would have given up and gone home by now. Some days I still want to do that. But I won't because I care about it far to much. 

Sometimes I just miss having the ability to go to my own room and shut the world out. I just miss having my own space. 

Welcoming September.

It will come as no surprise, if you know me personally, but I am so excited to welcome September. The fall is my favorite season, and it also means that these outrageous temperatures will soon be cooling down slightly. It probably won't be anything like fall back home in New York, but I can still wear fall colors! Which is prefect! 

But with the arrival of fall in Walt Disney World it comes with the arrival of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Halloween is in fact my favorite holiday, so I was obviously drawn to this idea of going. My only job now is to come up with enough money to purchase my discounted ticket and plan my costume. 
I have a brand new dance costume I never got to wear on stage this year so I am having my momma mail it to me. At first I didn't know what I could actual be, but I have decided it would be a wingless fairy. 
Cause who has time or money to go track down and buy good fairy wings? Not me. 

So once I decided when I am going I will be posting a blog/vlog of everything we do in the park that night, all the crazy things we see and do. It should be a lot of fun. 

There are some of our adventures from Animal Kingdom yesterday.

Have Magical day guys! 

P.S. Filmed my first Vlog today for my youtube channel, so go watch me make a fool of my self! 

Vlogging!

Magic

So if you are my friend on Fb or possibly follow me on any social media you would have seen a post from last night. When I posed a photo titled "I did something good" I was recoginzed at work with another four keys card and a guest letter. 
Do you remember when I posted a blog about the box and letter a family had left me? 
Well she didn't think that was enough, so she wrote a letter into Disney and told them how I bonded with them over their vacation. 

I can't express in words how much it means to me to know that I impacted their vacation so much by doing something so simple. I can't stress enough how important it is to me to try and make a connection with as many people as I can. It just takes one true smile. 

I just wanted to share the magic that happens for me at work sometimes. It's not just the guests that get to experience the magic, they can also make it happen for us! 

On a side note: We just got back from a day at Animal Kingdom. 
We met some pretty awesome people, the pictures can be seen on my FB and Instagram. 
We pretty much walked on to Everest and Dinosaur. Both only having ten minute waits to start with. 
and it didn't even rain until we got to the bus stop! It was amazing! 

Have a magical day guys!
