Here’s a post about all our basic information and some fun facts about us, just in case anyone is interested. We will be checking in to Disney on the 19th of January. We were planning on flying down from Utah…sometime! We actually have not bought our plane tickets yet much to Kelsi’s dismay (It has mostly been me as the slacker). As of right now, we’re pretty sure that we want to be housed in Patterson. In Utah we don’t get a lot of bugs because of the dry climate, so avoiding cockroaches and crocodiles is VERY important to us, and we’ll be making a point to do everything we can to do so, thank you very much. Besides that, we’re both in the Advantage Program, so we’ll be leaving Florida on August 5th. And finally, Kelsi’s role is Quick Service Food and Beverage and my role is Custodial!
We are both very excited and obviously would love to know more about you! Here’s a little more individual information about us:
TASHA.
- What are you most excited for about living in Florida? Meeting new people and experiencing different activities that are exclusive to Florida.
- What are your goals for when working at the park? I want to be a part of the legacy I suppose, and fully invest in the Disney expectations. Oh, and of course I want to conquer the Kingdom.
- What park do you hope to be placed in? Animal Kingdom for the hours, if ya’ know what I mean ;)
- What is your favorite park? Hollywood Studios! I love a little art and drama mixed up in one magical scene!
- What is your favorite attraction at Disney World? Oh gee, that’s a tough one, but I love the Great Movie Ride, The Tower of Terror and I’m a sucker for history so I can’t leave out the Hall of Presidents.
- What is your favorite attraction at Disneyland? Storybook Land and Indiana Jones.
- What is a favorite memory inside the Disney parks? So many! Maybe when I was a kid I would sit on my dad’s shoulders and watch the Electric Parade at Disneyland. That was magical.
- What are some of your favorite traditions inside the Disney parks? Getting churros is obviously very important; I also can’t deny those bread bowls… And when I’m with my cousin, Keaton, the caramel apples are number one! I guess I just love their food.
- What is a favorite thing you have bought from inside the parks? I collect mugs so I always have to get a new one when I go. My favorite is probably the Epoct mug. It has a bunch of Mickey heads with different flags for various countries on them.
- Who is your favorite Disney character? Alice and Roger Radcliffe, of course!
- What is your favorite Disney movie? I love Hunchback of Notre Dame but two new favorites are The Princess and the Frog and Tangled.
- Who is your favorite Pixar character? Russell, Boo, and Bonnie. There is nothing like a cute kid. Oh and Woody. Please marry me.
- What is your favorite Pixar movie? Up and Monsters Inc.
- What are your plans with Disney in the future? I want to be a character designer for animated films so Pixar or bust, baby! Actually, I really love history, and I’m thinking of minoring in American history so it would be equally cool if I was some sort of research something or other for the Disney/Pixar movies as well.
KELSI.
- What are you most excited for about living in Florida? Living in the South, in a climate/culture that is totally different from Utah. And being able to go the Disney parks every day.
- What are your goals for when working at the park? Conquer the Kingdom! Have lots of fun every day! Talk to people! And have a totally positive attitude. I know it sounds cheesy, but I don't want to walk away from this internship feeling like I wasted seven months in misery.
- What park do you hope to be placed in? The Animal Kingdom is my number one choice, but anywhere would be fine. Really!
- What is your favorite park? Magic Kingdom, of course!
- What is your favorite attraction at Disney World? I really loved the Great Movie Ride the first time I rode it, and also the Expedition Everest ride at Animal Kingdom. My favorite ride of all time, ever, is the Haunted Mansion.
- What is your favorite attraction at Disneyland? The Haunted Mansion, but Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye is a close second.
- What is a favorite memory inside the Disney parks? That is a tough one. Probably running around with my brothers, trying to go on every ride as many times as possible. Also, my first (and only, so far) trip to DisneyWorld, where Tash and I got to ride Splash Mountain before we did anything else!
- What are some of your favorite traditions inside the Disney parks? Getting a churro, of course! Riding Indiana Jones as many times as possible. Taking pictures of everything.
- What is a favorite thing you have bought from inside the parks? I collect decks of cards, so I have more of them than anything else. And I actually use them still, which is nice!
- Who is your favorite Disney character? Jane from Tarzan, Roger Radcliffe from 101 Dalmatians.
- What is your favorite Disney movie? Peter Pan. The Princess and the Frog and Tangled are high on the list as well!

- What are your plans with Disney in the future? I would really, really love to work for the Disney parks doing concept design. Really!
Of course we want to know more about you! Maybe even send us a link to your blog, we love reading them!
