About Me!

Hello My Lovelies!

Welcome to my Disney blog! Allow me to introduce myself - my name is Leah. I'm 26 and I'm from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. This year I will be working as a Cultural Representative at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. As part of World Showcase at Epcot, I will be sharing my Canadian culture with the Guests at Disney and also with fellow Cultural Representatives from other parts of the world. This is a phenomenal opportunity and one that I'm really excited about. My goal with this blog is to document my ultimate Disney experience beginning with the application process and continuing with my full year of living and working at the happiest place on Earth (and my personal favourite).

So how did this come about? Well, working for Disney is something I've wanted to do for years. During my undergrad, I considered doing a Disney College Program but the timing never quite worked out. I graduated from University in 2010 and immediately started working for Johnson & Johnson Inc. This was a great experience where I learned a lot both professionally and personally. But after two years on the job, I felt I needed a break from corporate life. I longed for adventure in the great wide somewhere (does that sound familiar?) So after about six months of careful consideration, I made the decision to leave the company and pursue my passion. Enter Disney!

My love of Disney goes back as far as I can remember. It's become almost synonymous with childhood. I'm sure if you're reading this, you feel the same way. I'm a HUGE fan of the films. Beauty and the Beast is my favourite. I've been to the parks 5 times to date, and I thought that was a lot! I'm outmatched by people who have been 10, 12, 15 times! Well, soon I'll be able to say I've spent an entire year at Disney. What more could I ask for?
