Home Town: Whitehall, Pennsylvania
Age: 21 (FINALLY drinking around World Showcase and Jellyrolls!)
Role: Merchandise

So, here's my problem. I've already done 1 CP at Splash Mountain and worked with the BEST people in the world and World. I'm not sure if I want to accept this CP or not because I don't want to leave my boyfriend. And, I'd have to take 2 online classes in order to come home in May and graduate on time. I don't know what to do!!! :/

I would recommend doing the CP! Boyfriends will always come and go, but the experience of working for Disney will stay with you for a lifetime. I am sure you have heard this before, but in all honesty-I feel that nothing should hold you back from this wonderful experience. The chance to do it more than once is awesome and just enhances your resume and your work experience that much more. As my boyfriend said to me, "you are being given the chance to work for a company that is recognized ALL OVER THE WORLD, take advantage of it and enjoy it!" (something to that effect :)) About the online classes, two isn't too bad. I am sure you will be fine, just stay focused while having fun too. Whatever you decide I wish you luck. :hug: I have gone through many changes of what I wanted to do about the CP. I finally decided I was going to do it, and got accepted! Now there is no backing out, lol.

Did you apply to go back at Splash? If so, I'm surprised they didn't put you there. But I would definitely do the CP again. I have done 3 (2 regular and one summer) and I am so glad I did, even though I am a semester behind.

[Sorahana]

My boyfriend told me to go for it since its my dream job. He's joining the Coast Guard so he'll probably be away while I'm away but we still plan on staying in touch and such, but he's the one really supporting me with it ;_;.

But my point was DO IT. It's an awesome opportunity and you can still stay in touch with your boyfriend while you're away =). It'll be hard being apart but its doable and you can stay strong :D.

Here is my info...no date because I didn't pick one yet lol XD

Yes, but I've already done 1 CP so I do know how much it benefits... I've applied for 2 part time jobs and didn't even have to interview! Plus, he's soon going to be my fiance. We already live over 80 miles away from each other and only get to spend time together on the weekend. It's a tough decision!

I didn't apply to go back to Splash. It just wouldn't be the same. The people I worked with and I became a huge family and it'll never be the same. I'm still in touch with managers from there and they say that it's not the same either. :( I suppose I could take another Fall semester and graduate in December... I just really don't want to leave my boyfriend. On the other hand, I could possibly work at my other dream location (Yes, Splash really WAS my favorite ride!) - The Emporium. He tells me to go, but I've already done it once. If I do go, he could work on the weekends and make more money. There's pros and cons, but they all honestly equal out.

Thank you so much for your input girls - it means so much!!!!!! :)

Hi, I am also doing the WDWCP this up coming Spring. I seen that you got your roles changed for medical reasons. Who did you talk to about that? There is a good chance that I might have to do that so, I just wanted to know who was the best person to contact.

We definitely should! I'm a theatre-stage management major and have not done the CP. I'm kind of nervous because I get the feeling that everyone expects the PIs to have done a CP, know the parks and all that. I don't have enough posts to send pms yet, so I'll try to find you on facebook :-)

Did you contact your insurance agency to see if they would consider disney's classes school. . .also, try community colleges in your area to see i they'll accept credit, My school won't accept credit, but the local comm. college will, and the tuition is CHEAPER!! One of my friends did her CP and came home with 18 credits with disney classes and online ones through the uni/comm college. I'd hate for that to be the reason you can't go!

This is from last year (Dec 2007). It somehow was bumped up.

[havie35]

Hey everybody. I applied for some professional internships but if I do not get one I am probably going to do the college program again. I did the program back in the Spring of 2007 and was a lifeguard at the Grand Floridian. When I did it back then I think the presentation was in October and I was accepted by early to mid November. However, now I am at a different school and the campus presentation I am going to is next Thursday. Am I at a disadvantage by going to a presentation so late in the game? If so, does that negatively affect my chances of getting accepted?

[orangekid13]

because a few people have posted here again since it got dug up

This is an OLD thread from spring 08
