The Circle of Life

All good things come to an end and the College Program is no exception. It might be extended but eventually it will draw to a close.

As the CP is winding down the apartment parties amp up, the romances heat up and everyone starts buying as much Disney merchandise as they can make it home with. The Disney classes finish a few weeks before the program does so there is time to get the paperwork completed and credit awarded.

A great thing about the end of the CP is the graduation party that is put on. There is a big barbecue with a lot fun activities and prizes to win. You get a Disney diploma (called a Ducktorate) and a Mickey Ears hat with a tassle to celebrate graduating. Several iconic characters like Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy are out and about to take pictures and sign autograph books.

At work everyone brings their camera and takes photos of the people they will never see again. Some bring autograph books and ask coworkers to write something, similar to a yearbook in high school. Since my coworkers and I are witty, everything written in the books was funny or facetious.

As one program ends, another begins. In the words of the majestic Mufasa, "we are all connnected in the great circle of life."
