DCP Bucket List: Conquering the Kitchen Sink?

Within our first week at Walt Disney World, my roommates and I decided to cross an item off our bucket lists and conquer the Kitchen Sink!

Get to know these faces -- you'll be seeing them around here a lot!

If you're not sure what the kitchen sink is, it's eight scoops of ice cream (two chocolate, two vanilla, two strawberry, one mint and one coffee), all the toppings you can think of, and a WHOLE CAN of whip cream.

That's right: a WHOLE CAN.

In (almost) all its glory! As you can tell, we'd started
eating it by this point. So began the process.

And because of the gigantic task before you, the entire restaurant takes a moment to celebrate, with siren-like lights and your Cast Member guide explaining the Kitchen Sink before placing it on your table. We had two other families get the Kitchen Sink while we were there, and each time, I expected the fire alarm to go off because of the lighting!

Would the four of us be able to eat it all and therefore conquer this sweet concoction? Take a look at the photos below!

Unfortunately, we did not completely finish the Kitchen Sink, but we were pretty darn close. All in all, we had a blast together, as you can see in the following video!

Remember: it's all about having fun together during this activity. If you don't finish it, then that's okay. Of course, it's an nice accomplishment, if you do.

Some fun tricks and tips for during your Kitchen Sink experience:

• See how many toppings you can identify. I definitely remember a few cherries, candy oranges, Oreo cookies, brownie pieces, frozen strawberries and, of course, the whipped cream.
• Pace yourselves and utilize those individual bowls!
• Make sure to get a photo of your group -- our Cast Member guide offered, so I think yours will, too. But it's always worth asking!
• And the more interaction with the Cast Member, the more fun your experience will be!

You can purchase a Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream, found at the Yacht and Beach Club Resort at Walt Disney World. It's the most expensive desert, just under $30, but it's also a lot of food!

I've Arrived at Walt Disney World!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this Disney fanatic is at the Happiest Place on Earth!

Reaction: Crazy!

To be completely honest with you, I've been here since Monday, which was my check-in/arrival date. Unfortunately, we were running late, so I didn't make it to my actual check-in time, so I'm on the late arrival schedule. But Monday was filled with shopping for supplies and visiting Downtown Disney before finally getting to hit the hay that night!



Dana, Michelle, Miranda and I are all living together in the Commons, with free laundry (such a plus!). Miranda is from our original group of six but went random in the end, so what a lucky coincidence that the girl originally supposed to be my roommate ending up being my roommate!

Tuesday, I had Casting, which is just paperwork saying that yes, I'm a citizen of the Unite States and yes, I am eligible to work in the United States. We also got fingerprinted, which felt very official!

And then today, Wednesday, I had Housing, which basically went over all the rules of living here, who to contact for what, and fun events and activities available for College Program interns.

Now I'm back from my third visit to Downtown Disney, ready to hit the hay for the day!

DCP Update: Location, Housing, and Classes

Hey y'all!

I haven't posted a Disney College Program update since spring break, when I had my character audition (which I didn't pass, by the way). With graduation over and Disney just around the corner (two more weeks -- holy shiz!), I was finally able to create a brief video to update family, friends and followers about the status of my program.



So. Let's address each section individually, shall we?

Location: Yes, I am working in the lovely Grand Floridian Resort and Spa! I'm super thrilled to be

The Grand = home :)

working at the same resort I stayed at last summer, giving me an inside look at such a beautiful hotel. My exact location is Gasparilla Island Grill, doing quick service food and beverage. This could mean cashier, cleaning tables, running food -- pretty much anything, as long as it's not cooking. My position will vary day-to-day, but after working in the campus dining hall for three years, this should be no sweat! I will continue to audition for performing roles throughout the program -- stay tuned!

Housing: As I said in the video, I will not explain the process of DORMS, because honestly, I'm not the best source of information concerning technical DCP stuff. But I can say that normally you're supposed to be able to link up with at least four girls. I don't know what the problem is, but the program is only letting you link up with two girls right now, making three including yourself. Therefore, my group of six (including me) split in half. Michelle, Dana and I requested to room together. I believe Dana requested one random roommate, with the second choice of three random roommates -- so there's a possibility we find ourselves with Miranda, Kaysee and Rebecca! I'm sure whichever random roommate(s) we get will end up being great. I'll post again as soon as I know exactly where we're living, and I'll be sure to film an apartment tour, too.

Skyping the future roommates! #dcp2015 #dcpfall2015 #DCP #disneycollegeprogram #disney

Classes: There are three types of classes offered through DCP. The first kind comes with homework, tests and college credit; the second is broadly covers a major or field of study; and the third is major-specific. Because of my recent college graduation, I don't need any credits and didn't want to pay the small fee. Therefore, I am only taking the second kind (seminar). As of now, I'm still technically on the waitlist for a leadership seminar. In August, I plan on signing up for the marking seminar and show production.

Well, there ya have it, folks! Please comment with any questions, and I'll be sure to respond!

Again, I'm super thrilled to be doing this program and that my loverly followers can be a part of it with me!

See ya all real soon.
