Merchantainment!

I learned some basic math today:

merchandise+entertainment=MERCHANTAINMENT! 

My Disney University course in merchantainment was a refresher class in retail with some Disney magic mixed in.

The thorn of the day was my unintelligent decision to wear heels. This has lead me to the conclusion that I will be needing to hit up the outlets (Fun Fact: I’ve heard Orlando is the outlet mall capital of the United States! I’ll follow up on this later) to buy more fancy flats. 

Silver lining: My friend Mallory and I trekked across the Disney University/West Clock parking lot to Property Control after Merchantainment. In the drab, beige buildings at the back of the lot, awaits bargains to those willing to search. Without saying too much…it was AWESOME. Disney merchandise everywhere. Doesn’t get much better than that.

My first entrance into the Magic Kingdom! January 15th, 2011. My roommates Olivia and Jess accompanied me for my first park experience with my main gate pass. Here is a video of us getting let into the park.

Livin’ the Dream

Who: The Goddaughter

What: The Walt Disney World College Program

When: January-May 2011

Where: Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Why: Because I’m Disney-obsessed, because I had never been to Florida/Disney World before, because I’d rather do this than study abroad (without a doubt), because my mommy worked for Disney in college and I want to be just like her, because I want to work in the entertainment industry and who better to learn from than the WALT DISNEY COMPANY?

Last night (before being disappointed by The Virgin Suicides) I began to dive into my newest novel purchase, The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. The relationship between young Daniel Sempere and his surroundings is one of intrigue, as I would expect after reading Zafon’s The Angel’s Game. The high-resolution descriptions of the surroundings and emotions of characters are giving me withdrawals while I sit here, trying to keep my hands off of the book’s second-hand cover, not because I don’t have the book within an arm’s reach, but because I feel that urge to wait until I am in a place where I can completely immerse myself in the story.

The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola 1999 Seriously, Sofia Coppola? How about some depth. It is, after all, a movie about religious oppression, growing up and suicide…so one would think there’d be an academic plot. One would then be proved wrong.
