I GOT ACCEPTED!
This morning, while watching T.V. with my brother, Kenny, my phone had the telltale tone of an email from Disney (something I had set up to make sure I knew if I got in asap). I frantically open the message, to see this:
AGAIN?! I was very confused at first, and after reading what had been sent, I realized I had actually been accepted 5 days ago, on March 5! For whatever reason, the information had never come up on my dashboard, and I never received any email, even in my spam folder! However, an acceptance is an acceptance, and I'll take it!
After some tears and a call to my mom, I immediately made my way to a computer and logged onto my dashboard, where I saw my offer waiting for me. Upon opening the file, I saw my role, and I got my second choice!
I am so excited to be working Concierge! My resposibilities were listed as:
"...completing check in/check out process for concierge club-level guests by inputting and retrieving information from resort computer system; proactively greeting guests, exhibiting the expected high level of Disney show quality, often times interacting with VIPs, celebrities, and executives; creating individualized ticket packages; being comfortable in a strong sales enviornment; making reservations and handling any special requests from guests; handling cash and other forms of payment, including foreign currencies exchange; maintaining cleanliness of common guest living/dining areas within concierge club level; assisting with luggage and other deliveries to guest rooms; working concierge buffet line which can include maintaining overall cleanliness of buffet area, and replenishing food, serving alcohol, maintaining inventory of liquor, and partnering with the culinary team to ensure food quantity; and partnering with property VIP tour guides.

It sounds like an awesome role, I'm so happy I got it! I think it also gives me a much better chance of meeting a wide variety of people, versus my first choice, where I would have been in a small boutique with only 10 other women at a time. And VIPs, celebrities, and executives? How fancy! I can't wait to find out which resort I'll be working in. I'm crossing my fingers for The Grand Floridian, but all the resorts are so beautiful, I'm thrilled to be at any of them!
All I can do is think of all the fun adventures I'm going to have with my roommates, and what I want to pack and buy. Now's probably a good time to start making up one of those Disney bucket lists I keep reading about. It took all my willpower not to run to the Disney Store this afternoon! I have no idea how I'm supposed to concentrate for the next 154 days!
I can't believe I'm moving to Disney World!
