Dear Disney College Program (DCP),

Thank you for the challenges, the rewards, the everlasting memories.
Thank you for my work family, for my squad, for introducing me to people that helped me become a better version of myself.
Thank you for my first taste of the "real world."
Thank you for making my resume look that much better.
Thank you for FOF, the Disney point, deploying me to hell, giving me double back, approving all my EHH requests, being 101, Brazilian tour groups, "I'll take six cups of water," and all the other things only cast members will ever have the joy of understanding. Thank you for pin trading, La Fou's Brew, the kitchen sink challenge, Wishes, DEP, and ICPS.
Thank you for my randomly selected roommates who ended up being freaking awesome. (#Prayfor1206) Thank you for the party bus, Señor Frogs, downtown Orlando, and drinking around the world.
Thank you for Florida sunrises with doughnuts at Clear Water. Thank you for Ron Jons. Thank you for all those artsy pics (cause lets be real here guys - our instas have never looked so artsy)
Thank you for road trips, food runs, Steak and Shake, balcony therapy sessions, and spur of the moment vacations to the Keys. Thank you for Univresal Studios and back stage passes. Thank you for putting and Ihop on I-4. Thank you for VISTAWAAAAAY - and while I'm at it - thanks for making the Chick-Fil-A right down the street.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A PLACE TO PET PUPPIES FOR FREE WHENEVER I WANTED!!!
Thank you for the Publix parking lot, learning MISI in the living room at 4am half drunk, and Chatham sleepovers. Thank you for movie nights and sleeping ten inches away from my roommates. Thank you for Transtar of death aka the bus that actually struggles.
Thanks for that feeling you get (the feeling that you've basically won a gold metal) when you clock in with seconds to spare because that only means you can be late three more times as opposed to two in the next month.
Thank you for magical moments. For the honey moons, engagements, and birthdays I got to be a part of celebrating and building on daily basis. Thank you for introducing me to the girl who was at least half my age and celebrating "Kicking cancer's butt." And for the little girl who was celebrating, "Got my dad back from the army." Thank you for the families that have said I made their vacation just by doing my job like every other day. Thank you for the feeling of making a difference in someone's life.
It's crazy to think that when I first accepted my role, I picked the shortest program because I thought to myself, "I'm going to get tired of this. There's no way I want to live in Florida for more than a couple of months." Now, eight months and one extension later, I don't think eight years would have felt like enough time.
Saying good bye to Disney would be like saying good bye to a piece of me. I refuse to say good bye.
Instead I will just say thank you, and see you soon.
