Alumni Speaker Series


On Wednesday night Allison and I attended one of the Alumni Speaker Series that the College Program hosts. This one featured "leaders across property" and had a panel of seven Disney employees all who had participated in the college program. They talked about their current jobs and how they got there and also answered questions from the audience. It was pretty interesting to learn about their jobs. It seemed like most of them didn't end up where they thought they would but they all loved their jobs. 
(Allison was a lot more excited than I was haha)
 After the event we picked up Veronica and went to Celebration for dinner. Celebration, FL is a town that was developed originally by the Disney Company but now they do not have much to do with each other besides being located closely. Celebration is similar to a beach/waterfront town but with more of a New England style. There are some shops and lots of unique restaurants. We ate at a Thai place that was amazing! We will definitely be back to visit the pumpkin patch, shops, and pizza place. 

Even though it was 9:30pm after we finished dinner we decided to go to Magic Kingdom. We got there around 10pm, right after the fireworks. It was kind of cool to just be getting there as most of the crowds were leaving. We rode the Peter Pan ride and then got some ice cream and found the perfect spot to watch the second parade. It wasn't very crowded at all! It was the perfect night but we missed our fourth roommate Shelby who is visiting her family in Massachusetts this week.
