About This Blog

My name is Tyler and I am a third-year at Cal Poly in the Mechanical Engineering department. In October of 2009 I was accepted for a role in the College Program at Walt Disney World in Florida, and I am super excited to share my experiences with you!! Not all of them though, Disney had me sign a lot of papers.

Preparations Are Underway…

I hope you can handle ellipses, because I might use them a lot through the course of this blog. Just a warning.

I'm getting increasingly excited and nervous for the College Program. Excited to live on the other side of the country for five months, to be taking a quarter off from Cal Poly (though I'll still have some classes in Florida), and to be working in and learning about an industry that I've been enchanted by since my first visit to Disneyland at age four. Nervous about being away from California, my apartment, my friends, my car, my current LIFE for five months. This is big.

I've purchased my plane ticket and will be flying out of Sacramento on Monday March 22. That's like, seven weeks away. I've been thinking a lot about what I will try to take with me on the plane, and what I'll have shipped after I arrive in Florida. I've been fantasizing about a cool job on an E-Ticket attraction in the Magic Kingdom (fun fact: my first choice would be Splash Mountain), and having nightmares about getting stuck with something boring like Honey I Shrunk the Audience or a lengthy script on The Great Movie Ride. Regardless, I think I'll get plenty of knowledge and experience just from being there for so long. I can only hope for the best :-)

I have a few more very intense weeks of school and work ahead of me. To that I say, "Bring it."
