Travel Card ✓

Hey Hey!

So today was the day. The funds were cleared from my bank account.
I went to ANZ and withdrew $1000.00 cold, hard cash!
Was amazing to hold in my hand.

And into Australia Post I went.
After a few questions, handing over my drivers license and medicare card then followed the dreaded: handing over my cash. :(

It was a sad moment, but it got me this:

And on this it holds: One Thousand and Fourty Nine Dollars! (And some cents like .05 or something) 

HAPPY DAYS! The America fund has begun!

Stay tuned guys, 6 days until the background check gets sent away!

Until then

Stay Magical.

Accomodation and Transfers

Hello.

Badabing badaboom. Things are rolling along quite nicely.

I received our updated travel itinerary yesterday and today I went and put my half of our accommodation and transfer into Amy's (check her blog out: amysdisneyadventure) bank account today. So now it's official I have a bed to sleep in and a way from the airport early in the morning to my room. In the words of Charlie Sheen WINNING!

Picture of the hotel we will be staying at:  

Also Christine from NZ (check out her blog: kiwidisney) will be traveling with us from LAX to Orlando on our flight, which is exciting.

As for our 9 hour layover I'm thinking maybe jumping in a cab and going down to Santa Monica for a few hours to kill some time. Airports are kinda boring after an hour or so.

So yeah, Santa Monica hasn't been decided yet, but hopefully we can do that : )

Also Tax should be back soon, so I can pay off my flights and put some money on a spending card. Yipee, and only 10 days until I can send off my police check, which is when my next update will probably be.

Also we have been discussing ideas for hoodies and shirts and these are the most popular designs so far:

Christine's:

Mikaela's:

So a poll will go up on the groups facebook page soon and hopefully a design will be selected. : )

But anywho, until next time.
Stay Magical.

LAX to Orlando

Hey Hey.

So not much has been happening on the Disney front, but today Amy went in and booked and paid for out flights from LAX to Orlando.

She is super nice in doing so and I'll just put the money in her bank account rather then pay STA. We decided to go down this route so we know our seats are there ready to go and we won't be stranded in LAX and have to fork out another night of accommodation.

Like she said if I didn't pay there would be two very awkward long flights ahead, but I'm not stressing, tax comes back soon and the flights work out to be roughly just under what I earn a week at work if I do the minimum hours. Hopefully though extra shifts will be coming along soon and extra hours which mean extra money.

So yeah that's pretty much it. I've also just been reading blogs of people who are about to get over there and start the program and then back tracking to who they followed etc etc, to get ideas of how it all works and what not.

Until next time.
