Dreams do come true.
So, this is the end. The last and final post. And it's about time, too.
Basically, I had an amazing last few days in Florida. My family and I visited the parks (which was super cool as both my brother and I could let them in, doubling the amount of free passes for them) ... (and also super cool because we know the nooks and crannies of each park and the fastest way to get to the best places, also making the experience freaking awesome!)
I had my graduation ceremony (which you can see below - yes, I got grad Ears!) and that last night watching the Wishes fireworks show in the Magic Kingdom with every special person that I met this summer really did make me cry. And I'm not a huge crier. So it was certainly *magical*. We received these neat little boxes with room for a photo on the lid, graduation diplomas, and took pics with Mickey and Minnie one last time, then we jumped on the monorail, stopped at the Polynesian for some final Dole Whips, jumped back on the monorail, and caught the beginning of the light parade (which I watched twice - once with Jeremy and friends and again with my Brits!) I ALSO bought some Magic Kingdom ice cream on top of that, and mine was a sugar-free flavour - I actually believe it was soy.
My trip home wasn't too eventful, I flew home with my father and then Mom, Jeremy, and Liam drove home a few days later. Ben and Abbi left before my program completed.
To all the future cast members (or hopeful applicants) who are reading this; it's an unbelievable experience that you will NEVER EVER duplicate or match. Seriously, I was at odds about doing it right up until April but I cannot stress enough about what an UNFORGETTABLE, CRAZY, WONDERFUL, and of course MAGICAL time I had in Florida. It was so worth it.
And so here is the closure to my blog, Memoirs of a Cast Member. It's October, and life has moved on, but literally every single day I get a comment or a "like" or a friendly photo from SOMEONE that I met and befriended at Disney, and I can't help but smile with every reminder I get of my three months down south.
Oh, and one last thing: I now work seasonal at the Disney Store near my school. Let the magical moments never end!

(here are some random photos that weren't included; pics from a lovely day with Carissa and Dylan, a joy ride on Space Mountain, some Grad pics, my home of three months, a Disney Dollar that I gave to my roomies and Brits as a souvenir, my fellow CP coworkers and me, and Christmas in July. Have a great one everybody! Thanks for coming along for the trip!)
