WDW is interested in me?!?!-A February 2012 Pre-TR

Well folks, here I am sitting at my computer 8 days out from a short trip to Walt Disney World. Why you ask? Well for a job interview! I applied back in December for an attractions job, and took a preliminary interview and was called back for an in-person interview! The job is only part-time so I’m not sure if I would take it if offered (it would be a lot to move down there just for part-time) but it’s a great opportunity for me to ask questions about future employment as a Mechanical Engineer, ask about full-time jobs, or an engineering internship. And who can pass up an excuse to visit the world? Not me!

So here are the details!

The cast:
Me and the mum. Here is a picture of us from our most recent trip in Sept/Oct 2011. (It's linked in my signature if you would like to read it! :))

When:
January 31 - February 4

Where:
Port Orleans French Quarter

What are we going to do?
Jan. 31-Arriving in MCO around 5:30. We will most likely hang around the resort seeing as this is the first time we will be staying at POR and would love to sight see!

Feb 1-Our only day in the parks. We didn’t buy park tickets seeing as this is such a short trip, but we do have 1 day left on old no-expiration park tickets so it works out!!!! The plan here is to start off at Hollywood Studios and end off at the Magic Kingdom! We have an ADR at The Hollywood Brown Derby for the first time ever! :) Can’t wait to try it!

Feb 2-Interview Day! My interview at the Casting Center is at 11am. After the interview is over we’ll probably spend the rest of the day at Downtown Disney! :sohappy: There are some vinylmations I’ve had my eye on that I want to see if they are still available.

Feb 3-Not really sure what we’re going to do this day. I really want to go to the Boardwalk and hang around there. It is just so beautiful over there. But this day is pretty much go how we feel!

Feb 4-Departure day :( Leaving MCO at 9 am…always a sad day no matter how long a trip is

Have any of you ever stayed at POFQ? Any tips or any comments about it? I’ve been starting to read up on it and see how the bus system works, etc. I also read from reviews to request a refurbished room, so we’ll see how that goes.

Stayed tuned for updates and for the trip report when I get back! :)

YAY YAY CONGRATS ON GETTING AN INTERVIEW! :sohappy: That's awesome! I hope to work for Disney someday too!
I really like POR. I would suggest asking to stay in Alligator Bayou because I, personally, prefer that section over Magnolia Bend, but to each his own. :rolleyes: Haha!
Also, I don't know if you like fettucini alfredo, but it's really good at the Riverside Mill food court. :slurp: You get to pick what you want in your dish and then they heat it up all together in a saucepan right in front of you!
Have such a good time and good luck with your interview!

P.S.- I love how you and your mom take trips to the World just the two of you. I LOVE taking trips with just my mom (no offense to my bro and dad :animwink:)

Good luck with your interview! We stayed at PORS in February 2011 and really liked it. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to explore the resort...the grounds are beautiful.

Have a great trip! :wave:

UPDATE: We switched our resort to Port Orleans French Quarter since a room became available. This is where we really wanted to stay so we were excited when it came up! :D
