Disney Pack Arrived!!

Hi everyone!! My Disney Pack arrived on Tuesday 26th March :) It contained my letter from Disney, a couple of forms about visa, an instruction sheet helping with the Visa process and an American Sim Card!!!!

My letter from Disney told me that I will be earning $7.80 an hour which is about £5.15 which I'm pretty pleased about :) I'm also really happy with the Sim card since it gives me a USA number and a global number and it's not a monthly contract which means I can just top up when I need to :)

I have now booked my visa appointment for the 9th of April. After I did that I paid my SEVIS fee of $35 which was a simple form that needed to be filled out online. Then I started the DS-160 which is the online form that needs to be filled in before your visa appointment. It took me a good hour and a half to do, thankfully for me it wasn't too bad. It asks you a lot of questions and some of the questions can vary; for example I got asked about my family, like if I had any family in the USA, but some people get asked about how much they expect to earn while in the USA amongst other things. There are a lot of security questions which thankfully I can answer no to all of them lol :)

Overall the visa process has been ok so far, I think my main advice would be to sit down with all the paperwork and take your time when answering the questions, and look at the information given to you from the Disney Pack and Yummy Jobs.

I'll update again after my visa appointment in a couple of weeks, but after the visa appointment there really isn't much else to do before Disney!!! It's just a matter of waiting and getting through the last few weeks at uni!!

Plane Seat is booked!

Hi everyone!

On Tuesday it was 90 days until I arrive in Orlando which means one thing...we could pick our seats on the Virgin Atlantic flight from Gatwick!!

There's probably about 10 or so Disney ICP's on this flight and we've taken up most of row 39!! So apologies in advance to everyone sitting near us, we'll all be really excited!!

I am still a bit nervous since this will be the first time that I will be flying on my own but knowing that I'll be sitting beside people who are just as excited about the program as I am and who are probably feeling nervous as well definitely makes me feel more at ease :)

Hopefully we should have our Disney Packs by next Friday and then I can start the visa process!!

Have a Magical Day!! Only 88 days to go!!
