Looking back on it, my DCP Spring 2013 bucket list was
pretty short and uncreative. As soon as I arrived, my bucket list
exploded in length and detail. Walt Disney World became "home" to me, so it's no surprise that I've explored a lot of it since the start of my spring 2013 DCP.
This post is an updated version of my bucket
list; the bolded bullet points are things I have done, and the regular font
bulleted points are things I plan to do once I get back down there again. This list will always be a work in progress...
