Changing my Fate

Thought the title was appropriate for the new movie coming out soon (which I am very excited to see by the way) and for the news I am about to share.

For the past year, I have been working as a special education teacher and, while I love my kids with all my heart and love teaching them, the school and politics within caused several problems for me. The environment became uncomfortable and I did not feel like I was able to give my all to what I was doing. So I began searching for somewhere that might allow me to grow and learn, to challenge me and work to my full potential.

After lots of work and searching and a lot of help from some great friends, I am happy to announce that, after my WDW trip with my sister this week, I will be starting a brand new adventure in Florida. In the next several weeks, I will be moving into my new apartment in Kissimmee, FL.

That is not all though; As of the first week in July, I will begin my training for a new position...working in Hollywood Studios! I am excited to be within this park, not because it is my favorite park-actually the opposite-I do not know much about the Studios and hope to learn more and get a better appreciation for it.  It is an attractions position, but I look at it as a starting point on a huge opportunity to grow within the company. I had always hoped that this would become a reality and now it finally has!

I will still be working for Celebrations (though, over the next few weeks, please be patient with me as far as answering emails and interacting via Social Media) and I still hope to blog and interact, hopefully more now that I will be close to the magic. I want to make Twitterscursions a regular thing that I do hopefully a couple times a month so that I can bring the magic more to those of you who live farther away.

I will be at least tweeting along on my moving journey, so please follow along! I am naturally nervous, but am looking forward to sharing this new adventure with you! :)

Introducing Twitterscursions!

This is an idea I wanted to do for a while and now finally have the resources to do it!

A Twitterscursion (Twitter Excursion) is going to be a trip to the parks planned entirely by what is tweeted/messaged in to me. I wanted to bring as much of the Disney parks as I can back to the people who are home and are not able to be there, so I thought this would be a great way to do it! Just another way to spread the Disney magic!

I will name the park I am going to that day and what I do that day will be entirely dictated by what the people of Twitter would like to see. I will take pictures, video tape and even Ustream what I do that day, to the extent of what technology will allow me to do (aka, chances are I will not be able to broadcast from inside Pirates, but I will sure try!).

For my first ever Twitterscursion, I will be heading to Magic Kingdom. I mean, where else would be a good place to try something like this out than the first park?? This Tuesday (April 10th) I fly in to WDW and will get to the Magic Kingdom around 12 EDT. I will probably be hungry, so I need suggestions on where you would like your "food porn" from. After that, its all you! What attractions and shows would you like to see? What pictures do you want me to take? You can send me suggestions in advance and I will save them in a list to make sure I take them. You can send them to me that day and I will get to as many as I possibly can.

If this goes well, I will try to another Twitterscursion before I come back on Sunday.  Stand by on my twitter (twitter.com/lady_aurora) for all of the information.

If you are in the park and want to join me on this Twitterscursion, let me know! Just be prepared, I am not planning this adventure, our friends at home are!
