Day 13: Favorite Animal Kingdom area? AND ONE WEEK UNTIL APPLICATIONS!
Animal Kingdom is my least favorite park. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I like the three other parks so much more than I like this one. My favorite area in the park is Asia.
Oh, and just so everyone knows... THERE'S ONLY ONE WEEK LEFT UNTIL APPLICATIONS COME OUT! This is super exciting, but it also scares me a lot. I really don't know what I would do if I didn't get into the program. I've gotten lots of advice about the web-based interview and the phone interview from people who have done the program before, so hopefully that will help increase my chances of getting in! I'm also going to be really sad if other people I've through facebook group don't get in. Well, I guess I should stop stressing this and start thinking positive thoughts!

Day 12: Favorite Hollywood Studios attraction?
As I've said before, Hollywood Studios is my favorite park, so it's really hard for me to pick my favorite attraction. I love thrill rides so I of course Tower of Terror and Rock 'n' Rollercoaster are in the running. But, I also really like Star Tours, the Indiana Jones show, the Great Movie Ride, Voyage of the Little Mermaid, the Studio Backlot Tour, and basically every other ride there... This is going to be tough. I guess I'm going to pick the Tower of Terror, but only because when I went to Disney World for the first time, it was my favorite ride. Now that I'm older I like lots of the other rides in the park too, but if I dwell on that too much, I'll never make a decision. So... Tower of Terror it is!

Roles
I've been changing my mind about roles for a really long time now and with applications only 9 days away, I thought that now would be a good time to really make a decision on which roles I want to apply for. I've heard the more roles you apply for, the more of a chance you have of getting in, but I don't want to choose any roles that I wouldn't want. The one role I really want to stay away from is quick service food and beverage. It's just something that is not for me and similar to working at the concession stand at the movies, which is something I would like to get away from. Okay, so here is the list of roles I am planning on applying for:
1. Attractions: This has been my number one choice since I heard about the WDWCP. I would absolutely love working at the Haunted Mansion, the Tower of Terror, or Pirates of the Caribbean.
2. Merchandise: I think I would really like this job too. It's different from my job at the movies that I have right now, but also a little bit similar in the way that I would have to work a cash register and sometimes deal with long lines.
3. Hospitality: I'm not really sure why but, I have always wanted to work in a hotel. I think I would rather work in one of the parks though, which is why I'm choosing hospitality as my third choice.
So those are my top three roles. I think I'm also going to put down character attendant, main entrance operations, and photopass photographer because I really don't think I would mind having any of those jobs either. I'm really hoping for attractions, but I've heard that's a popular one for people to pick, which probably means it's a little competitive to get. I guess I'm just going to have to do really well on the phone interview and hope for the best!
Well, I think that's enough for this blog. As I mentioned earlier, APPLICATIONS COME OUT IN ONLY 9 DAYS! I can't wait!

An Embarrassing Moment (Tagged!)
I was tagged by Adam Gorski to share an embarrassing moment on my blog. Oh. there are so many moments to choose from...
The embarrassing moment I'm choosing happened probably when I was about 14 or 15 years old and was at the grocery store with my mom. We were almost done shopping and had a full carriage of food. My mom left the carriage in one aisle and told me to wait there with it, while she went to get something in another aisle. I saw someone I knew from school while I was waiting and walked over to her to say hi. My mom yelled over to me a few minutes later to grab the carriage and bring it to the checkout, so I did. I looked back while walking and noticed that this couple that looked to be a lot older than me and were dressed in all black were following me. They kind of freaked me out, so I started walking faster. I looked back and they also started walking faster. When they caught up to me I was so scared, but all they said was "excuse me, but that's our shopping cart... I think you left yours back in that other aisle." And sure enough they were right. I was mortified...
I think I'll tag Amanda Szakacsi! Hopefully she hasn't been tagged already!

Day 8, Day 9, and Day 10
Okay, so I was in Pittsburgh for the weekend (which was awful, but I won't get into that now) and I was unable to blog while I was there. So I am writing this blog to make up for the days that I missed while I was there. All three days actually relate to Epcot so it sort of works out anyways!
Day 8: Which is your favorite in Epcot, future world or the worlds?
Definitely the worlds! I absolutely love just walking around all the different countries! I may not be old enough to drink around the world, but I do enjoy eating around the world!
Day 9: Favorite attraction in future world?
If future world is considered everything else in Epcot that isn't in the worlds, then there are a lot of attractions I really love to choose from. Soarin' and Test Track are my two favorites and I really don't think I can choose between the two of them. So, I guess I'm picking both!
Day 10: Favorite attraction in the worlds?
I've always been a fan of the Gran Fiesta Tour Staring the Three Caballeros! Mexico is probably my favorite world in the world showcase. My family and I always eat at the San Angel Inn after riding the Gran Fiesta Tour.
