Second Chance Challenges discussion

Disney or Bust!


This challenge is original to SCC!
Challenge Creator: Bree
A BIG thank you to Bree for offering this challenge to SCC!

Duration: 6 months to 1 year. You decide based on your level of participation.

This challenge is based on everything Disney! There are 3 parts to this challenge, you must participate in all 3, but you choose how much you'd like to participate! You may not use one book for more than one section of the challenge, but cross-challenge posting is encouraged. Rereads are acceptable as long as you read the whole book and not simply skim it.

Any book format counts, as long as the book is at least 150 pages long. For e-books or audiobooks, check the number of pages Goodreads lists for the hardback copy of the book. You may post your list ahead of time or as you read, and you may make changes/substitutions until the day the challenge ends.

Such a neat challenge! Drat this remodel! LOL! I wish I could join.

It'll be here when you're done. You can start it at any time. :) How's it going? Progress being made I hope?

I love Disney and will be participating once I figure out what to do and what to read.

EEEEP! So excited to finally get to DO this challenge... :)

Love, Love Disney!! Worked there for a few years and real excited to do this challenge.

I always thought it would be cool to work at Disney World. I actually looked into their college program after I graduated high school years ago but I ended up staying close to home.

Great! Maybe in November, then. The going is slow, but I finally have a installation date for my kitchen cabinets. September 7th.

I'm going to Disneyland! Love this challenge, love anything Disney.

Love it! Count me in.

would it be poss ible to set up a thread for help?

I have no clue on what to read for some of these tasks ; )

Teresa, I set up a Help folder. You can create a thread there for anything you need help with. Eventually I hope to have specific threads for challenges, tasks, colors, letters, etc. For now, you can post and ask people for suggestions for a specific task.
