Twiga Trevor

Jan 8, 2021

I went home for a little over a month when my Disney College Program ended. When I came back, I had nothing but problems the first couple days. There were apartment issues. My room mate’s girlfriend was mean. I spent four hours at Health Services trying to get my brace approved for work since I broke my hand my second day at home. When I finally got back to the World Famous Jungle Cruise, it didn’t seem like anyone was happy to see me or even noticed me.

Not exactly the warm and fuzzy return I was hoping for.

I was standing at Dock Two, waiting to get into a boat, and my friend Trevor walked up.

“I found a Chelsea!” He said, and gave me the biggest hug. Trevor gives the BEST hugs.

I was a little CP and he had started almost four months into my program, and he was still happy to see me. Trevor is known as Skipper Giraffe. Giraffe was a nickname he had long before he came to Jungle Cruise, due to a book at Animal Kingdom called “Tall Blondes” that was about giraffes. We would later have many adventures to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and I remember vividly thinking we were going to die on Expedition Everest. We were in row one, and the torn up piece of track was missing. We were staring into nothing and it felt like the coaster could roll forward any second and we would plummet to our doom.

Not only was Trevor nice to a little CP who didn’t know many people, he was a fantastic Cast Member. Unfortunately, he was was laid off from the Walt Disney Company due to Covid-19, and now my friend Trevor is very sick. He needs a new kidney, and he needs help from anyone who can afford to give it. You can donate to his GoFundMe here.

I cannot afford to give as much as I would like at the moment, so I decided to put my skills to work. I have a new design up on my TeePublic Store. All proceeds from the sale of this design will be donated to Trevor. If you can’t help, please share.

Moving to Orlando in 2013 to join the Disney College Program was the start of the Great Florida Adventure for Chelsea and her best friend Duffy Bear. Now they spend their days exploring all there is to do in the Orlando area and seeing what adventures life where the rest of the world vacations brings.
