The Ultimate (Short) Disney College Program Bucket List
Tumblr

It's almost been exactly a month since I was accepted into the Disney College Program at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. As most of you know, I was accepted for Spring Advantage 2017 in the role of Attractions. I won't know my location or park until arrival, but I can tell you that with each passing day, I get more and more excited for January to come, for the adventures I'm going to have, for the memories I get to make and the endless amount of magic I get to create for guests every single day.

For those that aren't aware, every person who does the DCP usually creates what we call a "bucket list" of items, adventures, or things they want to accomplish before the end of the program. I've begun thinking about mine, and I think this is a pretty good start. I'm hoping to add more items, but for now, there are about 25 items I hope to accomplish within the 8 months I'm there (January 23rd-August 3rd) with roommates, the FamBam (love ya'll!), friends from school, solo, and anyone else in between. Here we go...

1. Four parks, one day.



2. See all the rope drop shows for all parks.


3. Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream (with roommates or the fam!)



4. Meet as many characters as possible.


5. Stay at a park from opening to close.


6. See every night time show.



7. Take a photo in each park's "icon."


8. Disneybound with friends!


9. Do every single ride in every park at least once.


10. Eat at as many restaurants as possible.


11. Get a dole whip at least once!



12. Have at least one reservation every few weeks with roommates or the fam!


13. DRINK AROUND THE WORLD!



14. Try every buffet on property!


15. Do character dining (Crystal Palace, 1900 Park Fare, Chef Mickey's...)


16. See all the parades!



17. Take a picture with every Disney Princess!


18. Witness a proposal



19. Celebrate my birthday (March 30th) in the parks!


20. Spend a holiday in the parks!


21. Attend Flower and Garden Festival in Epcot!



22. Celebrity sighting!


23. Collect celebration buttons!


24. Buy souvenirs throughout the program!


25. Watch Kiss Goodnight at Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom.


26. (BONUS): Be the last person out of all four parks at least once!


And with that, it's 101 days to go... 3 months, 9 days! I can't wait to get started, to get this journey going and to accomplish all of these off my bucket list!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
