Andy: I am so excited for you. It may be a bit scary at first, but I am sure it will be a wonderful magical learning and growing experience. Just think of all the stories you will have when you return home.

Let's not forget all the fun you will have in the parks with your new friends!

Thanks

Today's update..

I've now got travel arrangements sorted out.. I'll fly from Glasgow to Orlando on the 9th to meet the Disney people on teh 10th. Just over three weeks now

I've got my appointment for the US Embassy in London to get my visa sorted on the 29th. I'll let you know what goes on there. I'm away on holiday next week, so won't be posting you any updates.

Andy.

Congratulations! I am a former Cast Member, and I can tell you that WDW does NOT get old no matter how many times you go or how long you work there. I guess the only difference is that now that I have seen "backstage" at Disney and what happens, you are more appreciative and more aware of what those poor starving Cast Members go through every day to make sure each and every guest has a magical time!

You must be so excited! Wow! It must be tough to pack for THREE months! Don't forget your teddy bear! (a poohbear of course)
