Eeyore has the right idea |
Any chance of free or discounted items is seen as a God-send. Free food? Yes. Free hugs? Yes. Buy one, get one free? Not so much.
On Friday morning, the Youth Sales interns huddled into the individual cubicles to prepare for a full day ahead, when a new message popped into our email box: Free Posters in the Resource Center of the Celebration building.
Kristin and Stephanie had the right idea of booking it downstairs. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, maybe one or two cutesy little posters, nothing fancy. I have never been more mistaken.
We should have known something was amiss by the hoards of people anxiously waiting for the elevator doors to open. And when they ran to the stairwell, we knew this was big.
Free posters of a movie and show I have never seen. |
Though we arrived shortly after the 9:30 email went out (Lord help you if you arrive an hour later!) most were picked over when we got our place. However, we did managed to pick up a few good posters. Kristin and I begged for Enchanted posters, and I also brought home a few others to adorn our living room wall.
The tales of Land of the Free doesn't end there, however. There is a part two of the (now) obsession of all things complimentary, and it's name is Grocery Bingo.
Last night, Disney Housing provided College Program, International Program, and Professional Interns the opportunity to win groceries with Bingo.
It is a good concept in theory, but not so much in practice. Kristin and I spent two hours of our lives attempting to beat the 90% of participants that were International Program kids, but to no avail. The quest for free items wore out and we walked away empty-handed.
I am very bitter. Next time I plan on using my Certamen skills to swat out the competition.
Disney needs to stop with the Bingo and get their Certamen on. If they did, your apartment would be adorned with free posters and the fridge filled with food. I think the one and only question I ever answered was "What does E Pluribus Unum mean?"
ReplyDeleteAlso, no Corbin poster?
ReplyDeleteAs the queen of Disney and good deals, I am suprised you didnt suddenly find a way to apparate down there. Also, if you had done the "slap SLAP" move on the desk, you would've automatically won. Meaghan, bingo is the art of grocery competition- I WILL NOT TRAIN YOU!!!!
