Thank you so much for such an inspiring and positive message. While going through a hard season health wise, this video definitely brightened my day and gave me much hope that dreams do come true.
Wishing you the best. 💗
P.S. I just subscribed to your adventures.
How do you stay so positive even when things didn't always "go right" for you? Such a great story!
I honestly try not to get too bogged down when things don't go as planned. I just try to pivot and put my energy elsewhere. Things will usually work out better that way! A lot of life as a performer is rejection so we gotta find ways to keep chasing other things that excite us!
I can’t even begin to express how helpful these videos about DCL have been! I’m starting as a Youth Activities Counselor soon.
If you have to time to make a video about what you packed to create storage and decor that would be so helpful to get specifics. I am worrying about little things like where I am going to put all my hair products (curly hair problems) and how I can store my clothes. I just want to be a good roommate but still be as comfortable as possible!
Side note-you were definitely meant to work for Disney! They’re so lucky to have you, you radiate Disney magic😊
Oh wow that's so exciting! Congratulations! I plan on making a storage and decoration video once I'm on the ship but that will be a while away. My cruise ship essentials video covers some decor and storage ideas!
Thank you for your kind words - you're very sweet and I wish you all the best!
I must agree that you‘re such a good storyteller. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!❤️
Hi Geri! You are amazing and so talented. Our family will be on the Wish this Christmas and are so excited! Keep up the great work - your videos are so fun and inspiring!
Wow, thank you for your kind comment! Make sure to say hi if you see me! I'll be back on the Disney Wish starting December 4th✨
Hi Geri! Been following along on your adventures here and instagram! Love hearing your story and your persistence and positivity is truly contagious! We are a big Disney family (our son is named Walter after Walt Disney himself) and we have recently fallen in love with Disney cruising after doing the DVC inaugural sailing on the Wish. Our next sailing is on the Dream in March. Would love to meet you and your fiancé someday on the ships! Thanks for bringing magic to so many! Keep being you and following your dreams! 💫
Awww, thank you for commenting! This truly made my day! That is such a special name for your son. I hope you have a wonderful time on the Disney Dream! That's my first ship and where I met my fiancé so it's very special to me. Up next I'm headed back to the Wish! All the best to you and your family!✨
Thank you geri for this video, I'm waiting for my joining date as of this moment i hope I'll get mine sooner. Ingat po!
Hi, Gerri! This is my dream!! I currently work as an Activities Coordinator at a Senior Living Facility in Texas and would love any tips/advice you have when it comes to joining the Entertainment Team and making magic aboard Disney Cruise Line! Our stories are so similar and I've always wanted to along with have been told that I need to work for Disney one day. I don't have a degree, but I have 16 years of theatre experience and 2 years of film experience. I'll be a certified Activities Professional, hopefully, within the next year or two as well! Any advice would be beyond appreciated!
Keep ir coming ❤❤❤
Thanks for always supporting!❤️ You're always commenting first girl - you're on top of it! Hahaha
I love your videos, I applied for job at Disney cruise line as quick service attendant.
Hey Geri I'd love to know what roles/characters you played and is it just one or are you switched around to multiple roles
I work in entertainment so that covers lots of things! I dance in some of the shows, perform in the kids clubs and help out with setting up character meet & greets!
