I want you to think of the top 5 people, living or not, that you would love to have a meal with! Got it? Now imagine you get to not only have a meal, but spend 2 days with 3 out of 5 of them, at the same time, at the happiest place on earth!! Welcome to my dream.
This is an event that I wanted to be at since it was announced months ago. But, seeing that I make about $2 bucks an hour and have only about $20 extra a month, it was way out of my reach.
Fast forward to a couple weeks ago and I learned who else was going to be there to speak! In that moment, I knew I had to at least try!!
I checked on any miles I still had and I had just enough to get there on one airline and just enough to get back on a different airline. I gained a small grain of hope and kept going. I emailed the creator of the event and shared my story! He immediately emailed me back and put me in touch with his event coordinator. She than put me in touch with 2 girls that were looking for hotel roommates to save money. I contacted them and they were thrilled to share! I checked on Scott's discount options and found a place close to where we needed to be! Instead of costing me almost $300 for lodging, it's going to be a total of $80ish for the whole time I'm there!
Now all I need to do is pay for my event ticket. After crunching numbers, I discovered I had a little more extra than I usually do. After selling haircuts on the street corner the last couple weeks, I finally did it. I raised enough for my whole trip!
I can't wait to spend a few days with 3 of the most amazing people I know. It's the dream experience and I know it will be filled with magic and shenanagains!

Sometimes life surprises you. Sometimes you're given chances you never dreamed would happen. Since a year ago April, I would safely say that this has been the second hardest year of my life yet. I hope after next week when my spirit is renewed with energy and laughter, I can start fresh and find my next adventure! Especially adventures that pay me more than $2 an hour!!
PS If you'd like anything from Disney, just get me the cash and write down what you need and I'll be happy to pick it up!!
Could you, if you please, define for me who your top three people are who you'll be spending this time with and for what reasons you esteem them so highly?

5 people. I don't have specific people as much as groups. I would love to sit down for a meal with the artists from Pixar. There are so many people that have a hand in making movies that I would enjoy hearing their stories. The second of course would be the Imagineers from Disney. Even with everything that they have done I would like to know about the attractions that never were. The third I actually had the pleasure of doing and that was the character cast members at Disney. Hearing their stories and why they do it was truly uplifting. Fourth would have to be the Disney Ambassadors. These two people are probably the most knowledgeable in Disney history in the world. To learn from them would be an honor. Lastly, I don't know. Yes there are celebrities that I would like to meet but no one more than any other.
