Moving to the WDW area in just over two weeks.

I was able to work out things quicker than I thought and am able to move a lot sooner than the month I was thinking. I'll be arriving in the area on the evening of the 17th.

As long as I pay the month's rent in full the landlady doesn't care when I leave. You're supposed to give a full 30 days notice but she was fine with me leaving sooner. I'll have to pay a penalty but that's fine.

I turned in my two weeks notice today at work. I was talking with the manager from another store who had the idea that instead of quiting outright I should transfer to Orlando and go on a leave of absence. There's no obligation to come back and this way if something falls through with Disney I'll have a job to fall back on. I talked to my manager about this and he talked to our district manager. Hopefully he'll work on it.

The house I will be living in is actually in Windermere (not Winter Garden), a mere 10 minutes from the Magic Kingdom's cast parking lot.

The day before yesterday and yesterday I left messages with my casting representative. A little while ago she finally returned my calls. As it was so late she didn't have access to my file (file room gets locked at 5:00 and she called me a few minutes before 6:00 Eastern) but she'll get it first thing Tuesday morning when she arrives at work (she's off Monday). She listed the current full-time openings and none of them appealed to me (seater, quick service food, housekeeping, and "attractions operator" at a water park). Food service doesn't appeal to me at all, I'm no housekeeper and I want guest interaction anyway, and I'm not a strong swimmer so working an attraction at a water park is out. She'll call me if something opens up that she thinks interests me during the week and if she doesn't call by Friday she wants me to call her. Friday is when most of the job openings come up. She said that there has been a trickle of openings and more roles are opening up.

I'm hoping for something in Merchandise or Attractions mostly, preferably Merchandise. I'd love to get into Monorails but those positions don't open up a lot and when they do they are filled internally for the most part. I'm really hoping a full-time Merchandise role opens up somewhere on property.
