One of the benefits of NJ wardrobe is it's pretty much interchangeable with Florida wardrobe, but we wear long-sleeves a few months longer than they do!
When I came home after both my programs, I actually ended up with more Florida wardrobe than NJ wardrobe because I kept buying from the outlet malls!

Well, classes are once a week, so you really only need one set of dress clothes to wear once a week (for like 4 hours in an air-conditioned building) and it should be fine.
Still, it's good to have a few pairs, as you'll need one for "Indoctrination & Assimilation"...er, I mean "Traditions" as well as for your Park Orientation Training (like Magic Kingdom's "Once Upon A Time Is Now").
Got my "acceptance" packet a week ago, and I use the term loosely as it's just a formality for me these days. Didn't get Operations (so no Great Movie Ride as hosted by Escapay), but TBH, I'm kind of relieved. I'll still be able to enjoy the "magic" of GMR without being tainted by the behind-the-scenes workings of it.
And since it's my third summer in ODF, by now my managers will already know I want to stock (and do nothing else), so they won't screw me over and give me the damn nut wagon anymore (unless it's a favor to them and they can pay me back later with an extra day off...
). Plus, working MK ODF is great fitness and exercise, both times I lost quite a few pounds (30 in 2005, 20 in 2006, but that was due more to me being there from just May-August instead of January-August) thanks to the strenuous activity of it all!
Gonna fly down early-morning on May 23, which means I'll be getting little to no sleep on May 22. But I'm used to it, and since I'll be skipping out on the housing seminars of the first day (when they gather all the starry-eyed new CPs and explain to them in a couple hours how and how not to act in the housing complexes), I can take a nap in the afternoon then head to Downtown Disney for my traditional Earl of Sandwich dinner (third year in a row of going to Downtown Disney and getting Earl of Sandwich on my first day back in Florida).

three years of my life gone to waste). It sounds so exciting, and just the thought of being at Disney every day for a whole semester gets me all giddy and excited.
Once you know which park you'll be working in, make sure to tell us!!!
