My Life and Disney
Well first of all, I wanted to say a bit of an apology for my lack of presence over the last couple of months! Life has been a bit hectic! My life over the next 18 months or so is going to be pretty much Disney Disney Disney though, so I thought for my comeback i’d post an update on whats happening with me and what you can expect from me over the coming weeks and months (Andy, stop hitting me over the head with that bat! I said i’d write a blog entry!!!)
Well… First off I’ve just finished University, thats the main reason i’ve not been about to post! Thats pretty boring and dis-interesting to read though (as far as this blog is concerned anyway)…. onto my next point 
On the 24th May, I am heading stateside. I’m heading back to California, so my intention is to post regular updates on my trip there and whats happening in the Park where it all began! I’ll be in California from 24th May - 6th June, in that time there will be plenty of visits to Walt’s Original Magic Kingdom I’ll also be posting photos of my trip on my website so you’ll be able to see exactly what I am getting up to! I hope this will be of interest to you all!
After that i’ve got a bit of a gap! I intend to make a trip to Paris in this time, and post here all the random Disney gossip I find floating around.
Next up is the big bit of news… Remember a few months back, one of my original posts saying how I wished to work for Walt Disney World? Well… I got the job! I fly out to Walt Disney World to work in the UK Pavilion at Epcot on September 12th, really I can’t wait! I can’t promise you how often i’ll be able to post blog entries, but rest assured there will be some. Again i’ll be posting photos on my website of what I get up to, and as often as I can i’ll post and let you know what i’ve been getting up to whilst over there I’m really excited about it, and I am sure i’ll want to tell you all exactly what i’ve been getting up to and whats happening at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Anyway, i’m sorry to have turned this into a post about me, as that’s not what this blogs for, but I thought you’d all like to hear what I intend to be posting here over the coming weeks and months! I’m looking forward to posting lots of blog entries for you to read!
