"Theres a great big Hunk of World down there with no Fence around it" -Lady and The Tramp

Sorry it has taken me oh so long to post again! Once again I have not been offered a position as a performer but seeing as I will still be with entertainment I am still so happy! I was a little disappointed at the fact that I never got a rejection email but because I never got an acceptance email I take it as a no. Any who; I am still so excited to be going home and to be able to experience Disney with a new point of view. I have found myself waiting, wanting, and hoping for adventure without really moving my feet. I can't wait for January 30th (my arrival date)! Right now Sydney (you remember her, right? My old roommate) are looking for an apartment that is not in CP housing. We have decided that because we are looking for a bit of a new adventure living outside of CP housing would be fun! I love her so very much and see us doing really well as roommates! Amy (you'll hear a lot about her) was one of my old roommates here in Utah and she is going to be a CP in January as well. Right now her and I are looking at T-shirt designs and writing our DCP bucket list. I have really been prepping myself for my new adventure as I have been dragging myself thorough school. Disney is really one of the only things that is keeping me above water right now. I am so grateful for Disney and for my 3rd adventure!

Right now on our bucket list:
-Watch movie under the starts at a beach resort
- chip and dale campfire sing along
- henna in Morocco
-4 parks in 1 day
-Teacups with Alice
-send mail inside the park
-see a dinner show
- Eat at the Grand Floridian
- Eat at BOG
-Make a Disney bear
-Try Lefou's Brew
- Swim with Sharks
-Dole whip at the Poly
- Character dinning
- listen to the nightly story telling at AK lodge

I'll be sure to add more as we know more and once shirts get made I'll post those too!!

"Whatever you do, do it well." -Walt Disney

I am SO very excited to share with you all the wondrous news of my Disney return! As of January 2017 I will be headed back to Florida for my 3rd DCP! I have been offered the role of a character attendant! I am so excited to learn more about the role of an attendant and hopefully get an inside look on what is expected out of character performers! I am still hopeful that I will be extended an offer as a character performer but for now I am rejoicing in the opportunity my Father in Heaven has blessed me with to be able to return to my Disney Ohana! I have been so overwhelmed lately with school, work, and with the thought of not being able to go back to Disney! I am so grateful to have one less worry off my plate and one more things to look forward to in this upcoming year! I am interested to see how this 3rd CP treats me, as it is my first CP not in merchandise! I know that I am so blessed and I know that this opportunity has come to me from my Heavenly Father. He has made the process run so smoothly and I couldn't be more grateful. I'll admit at first I was a little scared that I might not like being an attendant. I was afraid envy for the performers would over come me. After a long talk with my friend Casey (who was an attendant her first program and a character her second) I now feel so much better knowing that this will be an awesome growing experience for me. She told me that for every 100 QSFB CP acceptances there were only 1 CP Attendant offers given. That made me feel so good knowing that even if I couldn't be a character that Disney still wanted me to be apart of their entertainment department in one way or another. As I mentioned previously, I still have my fingers crossed for a character acceptance. My dream hasn't changed, nor do I see it doing so in the near future! I'll do my job well, no matter what it is! I look forward to making more dreams come true!

“Why worry? If you’ve done the very best you can, worrying won’t make it any better.” - Walt Disney

Today was another magical day in the life of Taylor Marie. I woke up early with my big sister by my side (she's seriously such a great support system) and headed to Bountiful, Utah where I was able to attend my second character performer audition for the Disney College Program. I was so nervous that I wouldn't make it to the second cut. I was auditioning with so many beautiful and talented people that I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. I came at around 9:45 and was already #51which was crazy since my last audition I came at 10 and was #52. We started a little early because so many people were there by 10. I believe it was about 10:17 when we began.

From there we split into two groups. I, again, was in the second group. Its in my opinion the better of the two groups to be in because in the second group you have more of a chance to get to know the people that you are going to be auditioning with.

After the first group learned the dance they took a break while my group went into the dance studio and leaned the parade march. It was a pretty simple march that I swear was the same as the one I learned last March. The only difference was that it was done to a different song. It was a simple four count march and four count skip with a pivot step in between. We did eight counts of animation as well. As usual, we did our animation as if we were on a parade float.

From there they did a cut. They kept a decent amount of people and I was over joyed when they called my number. They then did measurements and took our head-shots. We also filled out a basic information sheet that asked about the program we were applying for and any past experience we had with the company.

After that small cool down the tough work began. They separated the boys and the girls. I loved our choreographer. She reminded me of my cousin Jamie. She made me (and all of us) feel so good about our talent (or in my case, lack of).  She kept reminding us that talent didn't make a performer, but heart did. She then taught us a sassy and fun dance with a few complicated dance combination. It took us about 2 hours to learn the dance and work on animation. For our final animation we portrayed ourselves as villains for eight counts and then for another eight counts we became the creation of the villain. I had so much fun with the animation and loved getting the chance to be someone other than myself for a little while.

We had 4 casting directors but only one that I recognized. Kent, is so awesome, he is SO fun and reminds me to love what I do. There were two that were choreographers and they were both so fun and talented! I felt so untalented next to their skilled dancing. There was one other lady who I am not really sure what she was doing per say, but I do know she was apart of the process and that is all that really matters.

After we split into groups of 5 and did the dance for Kent they let us go. They gave us all a sheet of paper and let us know that we would know final results no later than November 18th. I am hopeful to hear results and haven't lost the faith. I know that no matter what happens its all apart of the plan for me and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to audition for such an amazing company. I'll be sure to keep you all updated!

"It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine"- EEyore

Sadly, my sweet grandma, passed away last week. The pneumonia caught up with the cancer and cut our anticipated time with her very short. I wish that I could say that with a little faith, trust, and pixie dust she made a miraculous recovery, but sometimes, life just doesn't work that way. With grandma gone I've found myself thinking about my own life and how the time I have on this Earth will never be enough to accomplish all the things I dream to. That being said I have taken a huge leap of faith. At one point I was under the impression that I could not apply for the company for 6 months but with some clarification it seems that I can apply during that 6 months just not work for Disney until then. My 6 months ends in January and it just so happens that the DCP also has a season that begins in January! I have decided to apply for the program again and see if I can work my way back into the magic. I will be attending the character auditions for Salt Lake City, Utah tomorrow. I have only had about 3 days to mentally and physically prepare since I made this decision (and grandma's passing was) so last minuet. I would appreciate a million prayers. I know that this is something that I so desperately want to do. I know that it is all in my Father in Heaven's hands and I pray that we both have the same plans for my life. I just feel like I can't accomplish any other goals in life until I have accomplished this one. As always I will keep the page updated on the audition. Hopefully I will make it far enough that I can write out a list of differences and alikeness between the two fur auditions that I have been  to. Wish me luck! Whatever your dreams are, follow them, there is never enough time to be all the things you hope to be, so start today and make as much as you can happen!

"But in my Hearts the Memory and there you'll Always be" - Fox and the Hound

Somehow September slipped in without much of a sound. I passed my nephew's original due date with only a few tears to shed and grandma has found herself in the ICU. While all of these terrible things happen around me Disney still seems to be my rock. I thank the Lord everyday for technology that keeps my Ohana within my grasp. I finally finished my DCP #2 video slide and it is up on youtube for all to enjoy. I think I watch it everyday just to remind myself of better days ahead. I'm really thinking about moving to Florida on a more permanent basis. Any who: Follow the link for my video!

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard"

For all those who don't already know my Disney adventure is sadly over for this time around. I had to make a tough decision and leave my program. My sweet grandma was diagnosed with what were initially told was terminal cancer. Amazing things have happened since and while she still has cancer in not one but three places, she has chosen to fight, and the doctors have seen miracles happen because of it. Leaving Disney was the hardest choice I have ever had to make. I knew that I needed to be with my grandma but my heart and soul would always remain at Disney. This isn't over for me and I know I'll be back. I was placed on a 6 month "probation" of sorts, where, I can't apply for any part of the company until my 6 months (in January) are over. While this does break my heart, it does give me more time with my cancer fighting warrior of a grandma, and more time to practice for character performer auditions! I refuse to give up on a company that has given me the wings to not just fly, but to soar. The Disney Company is my home and the cast members are my Ohana! I can't wait to see where I head next with this company! My blogs aren't over, as I will still, from time to time, post more about my experience, and more about where I am and what I'm doing! I even have my first Disneyland trip planned for October!

"If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff."

To continue on the food I have three more impressive places to try!
Be Our Guest: For Lunch

Location: Magic Kingdom Fantasy Land

I ate here for lunch not all that long ago and loved that I was still able to explore the castle while having a quick bite to eat. The meal was wonderful. I had the roast beef! It was tender and juicy just like I would expect a meal in a castle to be! It was quick service so we had our food rather quickly. We sat in the West Wing and it was amazing. Everytime the lightning would strike a rose pedal would fall! For dessert we tried the strawberry cupcake, the chocolate cupcake, and of course the grey stuff. I loved them all but the chocolate was a bit rich for me to enjoy the whole thing! Overall this was an amazing experience and I would give them a 7 out of 10 for lunch!

Now of course I couldn't go to Be Our Guest for just lunch! Therefore, a few weeks ago, I also went and enjoyed a dinner there as well! 

Be Our Guest for Dinner

location: Magic Kingdom Fantasyland 

Holy Heck. I thought I loved it for lunch. This place by far beat all my expectations. We began our adventure with Lumier lighting the way! We were fortunate enough to be seated in the ball room. Disney did such an amazing job of recreating this amazing room. It was lined with gold and chandeliers just like in the movie. We had an amazing waiter who did an excellent job of thoroughly explaining the menu and checking on us to make sure that we had the best experience possible. I had the chicken and the specialty lemonade! The chicken itself wasn't my most favorite meal but I did have a bite of Sydney's pork chops and about died at how amazing they tasted! As for dessert I had the grey stuff but this time instead of putting it on a cupcake they put it on a brownie! I liked it on the cupcake more but quantity wise I had more on the brownie! After our wonderful meal we also got the chance to meet The Beast which can only be done in the castle for dinner guest! It was absolutely wonderful! Overall, I give dinner an 8 out of 10!

Hoop De Doo Musical Review

Location: Fort Wilderness Lodge

I'll just go ahead and say that this was by far the best Disney dinning experience I have ever had! I fell in love the moment they slammed a bucket of fried chicken in front of my face. From the singing to the massive amount of food, I never stopped enjoying myself! The cast did such an amazing job of interacting with every one of the guest! The food was all you could eat and my table of 5 sure did take advantage of that! THE CORN BREAD IS TO DIE FOR! Well, basically, so is everything else. The performance was 100% on point. The only complaint from anyone would have to be the price. I paid Cast Member price so I can't really say for sure how much everyone else pays but what I have to say is it is well worth the money! I gladly give this giddy up group a perfect 10 out of 10 review!

"The dining room proudly presents....."

"...Your Dinner"

While here my roommate Sydney and I have made it a goal to try different food options that you have to make reservations for! So far we have eaten at two:

50's Prime Time Cafe:

location: Hollywood Studios

I like this cute little cafe but can't say I'm in love. The theming of the little diner was cute and I loved the vintage TVs as well as the costumes the cast wore! The food was decent but not to die for. I ate the fried chicken and was pleasantly surprised at the amount that I was given! (I still have chicken left over) Sydney had the sampler and said that the roast was just like home and while she isn't a meatloaf fan she enjoyed the meatloaf. We both shared the beer batter onion rings and those were AMAZING! Certainly the best food I ate there! Our waitress Aunt Janice was wonderful and kept up with the theme well! She made us put away our cell phones and keep our elbows off the table!
Overall I give this place 5 starts out of 10!

Tony's Townsquare restaurant:

location: Main Street USA Magic Kingdom

I have eaten at Tony's before (my last program) but this time I chose to eat at night to see if there was any differences and I noticed none. The theme is based off of Lady and The Tramp. I thought it was adorable but it was hard to tell that it was Lady and The Tramp for most of it. The waitress wasn't amazing by any means and the water was tap. The food was pretty good and the portions were large! I ate the chicken and spaghetti and I ate the whole plate! It was wonderful! Sydney ate the Pizza and I had a bite! I enjoyed it but she said it was a little too spicy for her to love it! Overall I give this place a 5 out of 10 starts!

"Everyones got a laughing place"

Everyone's got a laughing place....

I've been really pathetic with updates so I have to apologies up front! So much has happened yet I feel like I have nothing to write. I'm absolutely loving every moment here; even the not so perfect moments! My air broke and we laughed about it. I got caught in a rainstorm and was soaking wet and we laughed about it. I got sunburned till I peeled and we laughed about it. I folded 102 shirts and did 3 transactions in 3 hours at "28th & Main" and we laughed about it. Every moment here is a moment to enjoy (that's something I forgot on my last program). It can be really hard here sometimes and I don't want to give the impression that every day here is one of pixie dust but when you find your laughing place, hold on tight to it! Right now I'm on the transtar bus headed to work at Co-Op! I like this store the best out of all my shops but it can also be pretty slow. I like the costume and the air conditioning and I love a lot of the merchandise we sell! Sometimes when we are slow I make a pretend list of all the things I would buy if I wasn't a poor college student. 

I'm looking forward to my family's visit next month! I love being with them and I love this place so both together is a dream come true!

Also. If you can tell from the picture below I chopped off all my hair. I'm still getting used to it and can't say that I love it just yet but it certainly has helped cool me down in this crazy Florida weather!

Ohana means family

"Ohana means family...family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten"

I have a family. I love them and would do anything in the world for them. Always. I also have a Ohana. For them. The same rules apply. Tragedy has struck my Ohana and my heart aches at the thought that my Ohana is suffering. The recent events here in Orlando have caused me to ponder the importance of my Orlando Ohana. My last program was really hard for me. I had a lot of downfalls and struggled a lot with anxiety. Having an Orlando Ohana was the only means of keeping me sane during those hard times. Being here a second time has given my Ohana a chance to expand. I have gained so many new work friends and have fallen madly in love with my roommates. For them, I will be forever grateful. We have laughed, cried, and sat in a stupor of silence together so many times already. My prayers are with my Ohana who are struggling and my plea is that they are in your prayers and thoughts as well. You can't break my Ohana. We are Orlando strong. 

"Whistle while you work".... Wherever that may be

In high school I was inducted into the international thespian society where I learned our society Motto, "where ere thou art, act well thy part". Lately that quote has been zooming through my head. Here at Disney Springs I have the privilege of working at Pin Traders, Tren-D, and marketplace Co-op. I am so blessed to be working for such a wonderful company for the second time. Anyone who knows me knows that my overall Disney goal is to one day be a character performer for the Disney company. Just because that dream hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't ever happen and while I wait I will be enjoying my time with this company whatever my part may be! You're probably wondering why I'm even mentioning this all in the first place and to clear up the confusion here is why. I have been asked a lot lately why I'm not doing what it is that I want. While Disney is a place of magic, it is certainly not a place where all dreams come true without work! Now this isn't to say that I haven't worked as hard as I can for this, but instead, that I will continue to work until my number is called. Working for the Disney company is a blessing no matter the role and I am so grateful to be here working my way up to where I belong. Wherever I am I will work like it is the job that I have wanted all my life because my job IS someone's dream job and I am lucky! 

"Once Upon A Dream"

It's like I'm dreaming all day everyday. (Except for right now I wish I was dreaming and not awake so early). It's so hard to fill in on everything that has happened this week. Friday morning I had traditions. It's a pretty cool class that helps us better understand the Disney company. It's also where we get our blue ID and name tags! Friday after traditions I was able to go to Magic Kingdom with a few of my roommates and I was so thrilled to be home! ❤️ I bawled through Wishes and never wanted to leave! Saturday I ended up at Epcot in the morning and Hollywood studios at night. Once again watching fantasmic at the end of the night was such a heart warming welcome home! Yesterday Sydney and I went to church and then we stopped by Studios to watch Beauty and the Beast and Voyage of the Little Mermaid! We made dinner for our apartment Ohana and then I went to bed early. I've been up pretty early already this morning for Welcome to Operations. My class is from 7:30-2:00 but the bus came at 6. I'll probably take a nap after class today and then who knows the plan!

Bibbity bobitty blessings!

Blessings, blessings, and more blessings.

Let's just talk for a moment about how important it is to love who you're living with. My last program was horrible when it came to having roommates that I liked/liked me. It was hard for me to come home and to feel welcomed in the place that I lived. It didn't feel like home. It felt like prison since day one. 

Now on the flip side, this program is so different. From the very get go these girls have been my best friends. We instantly clicked and there hasn't been a dull moment between us. Blessing #1.

I will be working at Disney springs at Pin Traders/ Once upon a Toy. I am so excited to continue my Disney merchandise roots at such a wonderful place! I'm hoping for great hours and a lot less stress than I would have in a park! Blessing #2.

I am so much more social this program than last. I feel like I understand what is going on and so my focus is less on understanding and more on enjoying which is really nice as I tend to stress about just about everything. Being alumni has given me so much more confidence than I ever would have thought it would. Blessing #3

Traditions start on Friday for me so I'll be sure to fill y'all in!

I'M HOME!

I believe an update is in order! I am currently sitting at the Springhill Suites waiting for my check-in time! I flew from Chicago to Orlando last nigh and got into Orlando around 11:00 pm. Waiting for me was my adorable roommate Sydney and her dad in the cutest little green bug! I am so grateful that they were able to come and get me so late at night! From there we went to the hotel that we are staying at. I shared a room with Sydney, Amanda, and Amanda's mom! It was so nice to be able to meet these sweet ladies before moving in with them! It really helped calm my nerves and I totally recommend it for anyone who is not the greatest at meeting new people! Today we woke up around 7:30 and had breakfast. I check in at 11:45 and Sydney checks in at 10:15 I am going to go with her and see if I can check in a little early since I have to be at casting at 1! Amanda has already checked in and she says that we will be living in a 2 bedroom apartment with bunkbeds. I am excited to see who our 6th roommate will be since we only linked in with 5 of us! We will be living at Chatum Square which is great because that is where I lived for my last program. Today Alexis' mom has offered to make us dinner and so I believe we are going to her grandma's tonight. After that there was some talk about going to watch Wishes from a resort! I am so excited for this new adventure and I can't wait to share my magical journey with all of you! I love being an Alumni because I feel like I have a general idea of what to expect! I'll be sure to keep ya'll updated as much as I can!

ONE WEEK TILL MAGIC!

With just one week till I head to Florida my mind is filled with so many thoughts! Will this program be just like last time? How will my roommates like me after we meet in person? What will my hours be like? Will my old Disney friends want to still hang out with me? I'm so jumbled with emotions! I really am ready to go home. I've missed it for far too long. This time two years ago I was already there and done with traditions!
I fly in pretty late on Sunday and we have check-in at 7am on Monday so I hope that I can still look like a human being by the time casting rolls around. The first day is when you take pictures for your housing ID and when you go to casting for your final paper work, finger printing, and location assignments! I love the casting building! Not only is it beautiful and magical, it is the place that gives you a job at the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH! What a cool job it must be to work there!
Right now I've been busy doing all my last minute packing and attempting to plan the family vacation in August. Not too overwhelming which is nice! I know once I get back to Disney I'll be BUSY! I know I said in my last post that I would fill you all in on discounts and such on this post but I'm going to wait on that just to make sure that nothing has changed before I give out this information! As far as I know ticketing is the only thing that has changed this far. I'll be sure to fill you all in ASAP. I'm excited to be getting the chance to share this magic with everyone and I can't wait for it all to begin!

*Not A Clever Title*

After waiting about a month I finally received a letter from Disney. I unfortunately wasn't offered a position as a character performer but I luckily will still get to go back as a merchandise cast member! I AM THRILLED to be able to make magic no matter what my role is! I am grateful for my opportunity to audition for such a great company and I know that it is a memory I will hold near and dear forever! With about 2 months until my arrival date I am scurrying around trying to finish up school work and pack up before I head out! I will be home with my family (back in Illinois) for about a month before I head to Florida and I am honestly so excited to be able to be with family again! My family means so much to me and honestly one of the greatest perks of being a cast member is knowing that I can provide an amazing vacation for a family that has done so much for me! There are so many great perks to being a cast member and I will go more into detail on that in the next blog post! I just wanted to write a post about what my role will be! I look forward to the MAGIC! <3

Faith, Trust, and Roommate Musts!

Okay. So I'm a bit lame when it comes to post titles. I promise I'll work a little harder to come up with something more clever and less cheesy next time! This week's post is on the living life for the DCP in Disney World. I can't speak for Disney Land but Disney World has some pretty cool housing complexes set aside for their interns. Last program I lived at Chatum with 7 other girls! I liked where I lived I just had a hard time living with the girls that I lived with. (Which resulted in some home sickness every once in a while) This program I have met the girl who I am hoping to room with in advance! I came in contact with these girls though a Facebook group designed for LDS participants. (For anyone who hasn't read my past blog; keepcalmanddisneyon.blogspot.com ; I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). I posted a roommate survey on the page and found a girl who had a lot in common with me! She then invited me into her group of roommates and so far we have all become the greatest of friends! I can't wait to live with these sweet girls! So far there is 6 of us so we are hoping for Chatum but we could end up just about anywhere still! When looking for roommates it is so important to make sure that you are really going to get along with those you live with. One small miscommunication can get you terminated early from the company! You will also want to make sure that those you want to live with have the same arrival date as you! You will most likely not be placed with people coming in on days before or after you! Lastly, and in my opinion, most importantly, you want to make sure that you find roommates who fit your personal standards well. For example, I don't drink, therefore, I wouldn't want to live in Non-wellness housing as my roommates could have alcohol in the apartment. I also don't like to stay up too late when I have to be up early for work, thus, having roommates who like to be up all night partying would not work for me! Just trust yourself and know what works for you! This is an adventure and every part of it is suppose to be enjoyable! Roommates can really make or break a program experience! Make sure yours fit well with you!

Tinkers "N" Teacups: A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes (and works for)

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." -Walt Disney

 Welcome to my Disney College Program (DCP) Blog. This is my second blog for the DCP as well as my second experiance being apart of the program. I have accepted a position for my second round of the program in merchandise and am still awaiting an offer from the Disney Casting Directors for a position as a character performer. This first post will be mainly about my audition process. (For information about DCP interviews and applications please follow this link (keepcalmanddisneyon.blogspot.com))
Tuesday,March 8th, 2016 I took a leap of faith and stepped foot into a ballet studio hosting an audition for character performers for the Disney College Program Fall season. I had always wanted to go to an audition but never had the courage to do so. Seeing as I have about a year left of college I knew that this audition was a now or never situation. I mustered up every ounce of faith, trust, and pixie dust that I could and I am so grateful that I did.
The fist step of this audition was a small parade march. We did 8 counts of animation where we pretended like we were on a float waving and interacting with guest and then we did two 8 counts of a march. The song was " Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" from "Lilo and Stich". I liked that our first song was a familiar Disney song as it helped (me at least) with comfortably. After preforming this tid-bit before the directors, cuts were made. Out of the about 120 that were auditioning they kept around 30.
I was lucky enough to have made it past the first cut and to be honest I was a bit astonished that I did. I can say with a certainty that I am not as skilled of a dancer as a lot of the others auditioning. This just goes to show that you really never know what they are looking for. Never be intimidated by theatre or dance majors and never compare your weaknesses to someone else's strengths, You may be exactly what these directors are looking for! Confidence is key!
The second step was simply filling out paper work. The papers were a great chance to take a quick water break and breathe. With this paper work the casting directors took a headshot of their own and took some measurements to better match us with the characters we could be friends with. I enjoyed the break and it was a great chance to show personality as you communicate with the directors.
Lastly, the final part of the audition was a bigger and much more complicated dance number. I was so lost the entire time but I kept a smile and I really think that it helped me to better present myself to the directors. This was to an unfamiliar non Disney song and I think that it made it just a little harder for me as I didn't have something to mentally hold on to for cues.  Alongside this dance number we also did another two 8 counts of animation! This was really fun and probably my favorite part of the entire audition. With these counts we were toy makers creating a toy and then we became the toy! I really loved the animation process because it was the only thing that I felt decently confident in. I was at the audition for about 4 hours and honestly this was the whole extent of the audition process! It really wasn't anything that the common dreamer couldn't do!
All in all this audition was a great time and a wonderful way to make friends who love the same things you do! I made so many great friends and a wondrous memory. I am so glad that I can say I auditioned for Disney and got off my tush and did the work to make my dreams come true! I hope that April comes quickly and I can find out the results of this audition! Good luck to all those getting ready to audition for their dream! You can do it!! DREAMS DO COME TRUE!
