"It's a small world"

Yes,

we all know the song, the ride and the repetitiveness of this.... unique.... creation of music, but I happen to use the word a lot, why? because it's SO true.In this tiny world, we can find ourselves all connected through the grapevine in sometimes crazy cool situations, and sometimes really crazy "did this really just happen" situations.

here let me explain:

after receiving our awesome-super cool-fantastic-amazing-o.m.g. blue main gate cards to get into the parks, what do we do? we go to sleep, (YEA RIGHT) nooooo, we fly to the parks to hangout and celebrate our official cast member step to the Disney College Program in the parks! 

after making our way to Epcot, and Magic Kingdom for the night we found our selves getting extremely tired, sweaty, hungry, and did I mention sweaty? we NOW wait for the next and final destination bus towards home from downtown Disney...

while waiting, we saw birthday children walking by, guests, and cast members leaving for home.... and that's when it happened.... a tall manager walking by with a blue dress shirt, very professional and a football build walked up to our bus stop and I just about cried

Me- "NO WAY"

Manager- "Ethan!?" 

Me- *running towards him and jumping on him with the biggest bear hug ever*

Me- "NICK I CAN'T BELIVE THIS"

Nick-"*very professional* I missed you too Ethan!!"

Long story short, I found my old roommate from first program, Nick Downey. It's been 2 YEARS since I last saw him and what's he up to now? running a section of Downtown Disney since he graduated from school on a professional internship! 

not only do I have to congratulate this awesome guy, but what were the chances of me stumbling on my old roommate who was the "dad" of our apartment my first time around?? 

But it doesn't end there, within the first couple days of photo/park adventures, I found my self being followed by a green army man who knew me and Flynn Ryder personally and lastly I was able to give Marry Poppins a hug after not seeing her for a whole year! 

weirdest part about all of this? NONE of it was planned... I just stumbled upon all of them, and you know something? 

"It's a small world" & I'm definitely okay with this! ;)

Here's a few from the shenanigans of my Disney College Program thus far!! 

"I recognize you from your vlogs"

After the many adventures I already had with amazing people doing the Disney College Program, I must say..... I'm already tired.

tired from what? tired from going out, running around, photo adventures and dancing my life away! I'm still trying to hang in there because I know once work starts, it's all down hill from there on.

After pulling up to Chris's hotel room I start to get my bags out and what do I hear?

random girl- "Hey I'm sorry, but are you doing the college program?"

Me- "ummm yes?" 

random girl- "are you arriving wednesday? I think I know you from facbook, I saw your vlogs!"

ME- "O.o (my facial expression <<---) REALLY? thanks for checking it out! that means A LOT"

2 minutes later

Jenna- "and you're trying to say no one knows you? your famous and you know it" 

Me- ".....whatever" 

  

After all the shenanigans of the first few days of me being in Orlando I got to FINALLY meet with Chris, Lindsay, Ainsley, Danielle, Hayley, Juliette, Nick, Maria, Sarah, Adam, Kristy, Hannah, Kelsey, Brian, Nick and some old time friends who NEVER change like Christian, Lacey and Mikael with a "k":)

So what do we do? what any other awesome group of people do, we take pictures, eat, have fun before check in to calm the nerves and dance our lives away!

After the adventures prior to check in we slept.... for like 2 hours and then we made our way out in the night... or morning... for check in and what do we find? a group of like 50+ people already waiting (ya crazies!!!!) and after the long hall of waiting, we made it to our amazing apartment in vista way on the 3rd floor aka vaulted ceilings, and as a celebratory measure we go to a paint party with our very good friend Mr. Will the photographer and Shannon Lora to fully:
