Home, but not home.

That's right folks. If you're just joining us, we're home.... but not quite home.

Let me explain. On our 4-day journey over from Orlando, we realize that home is not where you are, where the heart is, or where you enjoy the area, but it's all about where your friends and family are.

We definitely miss our Disney family in Orlando, but we're excited to see where the company will take them, and when we will re-unite. Some of them are already booking hotels in Anaheim for when they visit. Below, I wanted to update everyone on where we are exactly, and what our plans are in the near future.

As soon as we arrived, we went to Disneyland and Downtown Disney. I, Alex, decided to go to the fur (costumed character) audition on Saturday to meet with a manager about being a character attendant. Unfortunately, I was rejected after the first round, but it was a fun experience, and I was able to meet with the manager that I was told to find. Hopefully it will help get me something with the company again. In the meantime, I've applied to a few positions around the Orange County and LA areas including The Honda Center, AEG Staples Center, a few small ice rinks, Knott's, Universal, and other roles with Disney.

We're currently at "home" in Visalia for a few days, and we'll be moving to our new "home" in Anaheim on Friday. For now, we will live in a hotel just down the street from Disneyland for the first month while we look for a more permanent place, and I can look for a small job.

I didn't want to leave you without pictures. So, we wanted to bring you along to Disneyland with us.

This is what happens when you start going crazy while driving through Texas.

 

 

Here we goooooooo...

Follow us on our journey across the country! We nervous, scared, and the car is bursting at the seams with all our things.

If you're anywhere along our journey, comment on our post!

The End : The Transition

(This is Alex)

So, it's the end of our program, and I was finally able to do some of the things I've wanted to cross off my list before I left. One of them was; skating around the TTC.

A lot of people jog around the TTC late at night/early morning. So, it wasn't hard to do, but it was difficult finding the time.

My last week of work ended at a total of 75 hrs, which is very good considering our upcoming trek across the nation. We've finalized our departure date for January 3rd at around 8am, and estimate a 10 hour trip to our first destination: New Orleans, Louisiana.

The other, was drinking around the world at Epcot, but I budgeted to only drink at three. Viking Coffee, Plum Wine, and Pear Cider. Good friends, fun times throughout my program.

I'm going to miss the friends I've made here.
