Tales of a Disney College Program Hopeful -- Vlogs #42, 43, and 44
These three vlogs are the LAST of my Disney College Program footage. This footage ranges from the beginning of November to the middle of December. So most of it is Christmas themed, haha. But that's okay. It'll get you in the spirit ahead of time!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy! :D

Suggestion for Any Future CPers
Okay, so I feel the need to make a suggestion to any future CPers who might be reading this.
Don't think you're too old to meet the characters! Suspend disbelief and just let yourself be a kid again! Honestly, don't JUST ride the rides. That's only half of the Disney Parks experience. Go meet characters! The lines aren't as long as you think and often times the result is completely worth it. I met nearly every character I could. The only ones I didn't get a chance to stop and take photos with were Daisy, Stitch, and Chip and Dale. However I did interact with Stitch and Chip and Dale at the Halloween Party. Which I also suggest! It was my favorite night while I was there.
If you are into meeting characters then definitely go to the Christmas and Halloween parties. They pull out rare characters and the rare characters are the ones I had the BEST experiences with!
Also, if you're looking for a cheap yet awesome gift idea for a loved one who can't be with you in Orlando do a character greeting video! Or have the characters autograph a shirt and take pictures of them as they sign it! It's fun for you, the characters, and the recipient of the gift! I decided to do a character greeting video for my nephew and sister-in-law, and some of my best character experiences came from those greetings! The characters love to talk and interact! So the more opportunities you give them to do that, the more fun you'll have!
Take a look at my character greeting videos! And then decide if this is something you want to do. It took a lot of time, but it was completely worth it. I went to three of the four parks for these greetings and used the Halloween party to my advantage! I HAD A BLAST!

Vlog Update! YAY!
I had technical difficulties with this first one. I lost a lot of footage so the actual driving footage is all I have left. But I still hope you all enjoy!
The next one is during the days before check in when we went to Islands of Adventure. It was a very unorganized experience and the place was insanely crowded. I mean it was awesome to be there, but it was just WAY too congested to enjoy it TOO much.
I'm working on posting another one right now. So be on the look out for it! :)

Tales of a Disney College Program Hopeful -- Vlog #33
(5) days until check in
(1) day until I leave
Okay, so I'm sitting here posting to the blog on my lap top for probably the last time ever before I leave for Florida. And I can honestly say, that I don't think being *this* close to Disney has hit me yet. It probably won't hit me until we check in to our hotel tomorrow evening. Anyway I'll be filming EVERYTHING, but I won't be able to edit it together until I'm settled in Florida so this will probably be my last vlog for a bit. BUT I will be updating the blog VERY frequently.
I can update the blog from my phone so I'll be keeping you guys informed that way for the first four days I'm there. Also if you don't yet, follow me on Twitter. I can update Twitter from my phone as well, so that will be updated a lot too.
Today I'm doing some last minute things to get ready. I'm going to clean out my car, and then I'm going to run to Target and get some things I need. After that I'll stop by Wal-Mart (and use my gift card) to get gas. Then we'll probably start packing up the cars. :D
The time has come (the Walrus said). This time tomorrow I will be on my way to the Sunshine State and the most magical place on Earth. Who's excited? I AM!
The next time you hear from me, I'll be on my way to my adventure of a lifetime! That's all for today, folks! Until next time, have an EXTREMELY magical day! <3!

[INFOPOST] Things to Think About: Financial Aid
If you're applying for the program then Financial Aid should be one of the first things you think about. If you're applying in January for the Fall you've got to think about the FAFSA, If you've got private scholarships you'll need to meet with your financial aid counselor, and if you've got loans you'll need to make sure the program doesn't accidentally activate your college loan "grace period."
Some schools make it difficult to meet with your financial aid counselor (like mine.) Our counselors at ASU prefer to do things over the phone rather than in person, but it may not be that way at your school. Also, it depends on what kind of financial aid you have. All of my financial aid is Federal and is a result of my FAFSA so all I had to worry about was how to re-apply for FAFSA.
I called my counselor and she told me to apply like I did every year and just to fill it out like I was coming back in the Fall and then when I hear back about my awards I would need to make it clear WHICH semester I would be accepting them for.
Also, the FAFSA Customer Service lady told me to make sure the "grace period" on my student loans was tripped while I was in Florida. If you have a loan you get a "grace period" before you have to start paying them back, and it's possible that my absence from school while on the program could be seen as me no longer being in school. My "grace period" could start while in Florida and then I would have to start paying back loans when I return home. We definitely don't won't that.
So I've got to call Financial Aid today and make sure nothing happens with my loans. Hopefully, she'll ask if I want to make an appointment. I would really feel better discussing it in person. It just feels more official than discussing it over the phone. If she doesn't, though, I can deal. As long as I KNOW that the government knows I'm not through with school yet.
Anyways, there's your hopefully helpful post for the day! No Formspring Wednesday once again. This week I had only one question from my cousin Kayla, and it wasn't really a question about the program. It was a personal thing. So I'll answer her question privately.
Don't forget to ask me stuff though! You can use the widget on the right side or you can go directly to my Formspring at http://www.formspring.me/angellwings
Also, I'll be posting a new Vlog tonight! Part 4 will be posted tonight and Part 5 will be posted tomorrow!
Until next time, have a magical day!
