In Orlando 'til January!

Well, I made it here. I was afraid we weren't going to land thanks to Tropical Storm Fay. It has been raining on and off since I got here. I have yet to see the sun, but I did see the moon this morning. I stayed at the Pop last night, which was nice because I got a King Size bed, but now I'm in the College Program housing until January. I checked in and moved in today. Of course my apartment is the farthest from everything (except I4), especially the bus stop. We got tons of papers and information today, but the oddest thing was that they handed us all a bar of soap. Grand Floridian soap to boot. I don't know where I'll be working yet, but I find out tomorrow morning. Just thought I'd update everyone! I don't know how much message boarding I can do for the next few months, but I'll still be here reading!!

From a former CP'er...have a great time.

Are you living in Chatham or Vista?

I have two friends who just started and are living in Vista. One works at MK and one works at Epcot.

I hope you have a great time! I found that I didn't have much time to be on passporter while I was down there. I was busy busy busy.

Have fun!
