The Official Fall/Fall Advantage 2010 Thread!

[NightmareRoxMySocks]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to find out if there was any one going down for Fall 2010 for Baking and Pastry? I've been looking all over boards and I can't find anyone. If you can help me, thanks!

[Disney_Lover06]

I was accepted for the Fall 2010 program in QSFB! Not my first choice (or second... or third), but I'm not any less excited :D

Welcome to the Disboards and congrats on getting accepted. I know a lot of people who left it up to chance and had great roomies but I also know a few who had awful roommmates. It really just depends. Try joining the facebook group to find roommates before you go.

I'm in the same boat. My interview was about a week ago. I'm going mad and wondering the same. lol I applied for fall advantage. What roles are you going for?

[wcecil01]

I interviewed about 2 weeks ago, recieved extra paperwork a week ago and recieved 2 pending letters in the mail today....

Suuuuuuch a long wait it feels like.

Compared to other jobs I have applied for in the past, this is a short wait.

But the potential this job holds to possibly crush all my hopes and dreams makes the wait feel like ages.

[aepecoraro]

I have my phone interview next Monday! I am soo nervous, yet very excited! My top choices are Attractions, Character Attendant, Photopass Photographer, and Hospitality..

[taythegibs]

Hey, my name is Kristen. I had my phone interview about a week ago and I am just waiting for the results. Three to four weeks is a long time, but hopefully the wait will be the worst part. I really hope I get to go.

[Kayla0929]

So, I've been looking into the classes and after reading some responses on here, I'm having trouble deciding whether or not I even want to take one. BUT I think if I do decide to, I would take the Entertainment Show Production Professional Development Study course. Has anyone ever taken it? What was it like? Anyone else looking into taking this? I'm still interested in hearing more opinions about taking classes as well. Thanks!

Good luck to everyone auditioning this week!

[AliSW]

My interview is next Tuesday. I'm sooooooo nervous!!

Fall advantage starts on May 19th, but I think that date is full. Actually, the only date that's still open might be May 24th; I'm not sure. I'm FA and will be there June 14th!

[EpsilonKazegami]

Hello everyone!

My name is Rose..But my friends call me Epsilon. I am 19 yr old NJ female :3 I believe my work history in Six Flags Great Adventure in rides is what stuck out for them picking me for the Fall 2010 DisneyCareerStart!

I applied for Rides, Merchandise, and foods.
I did my Disney CareerStart phone interview Feb 23, 2010
March 22, 2010...I got my acceptance letter!
Merchandise...I hope I'm somewhere in The Animal Kingdom!
August...you can't come soon enough XD

I would really like to talk to the people who got accepted into the program..would like to make aquaintances and friends now so we can possibly make group hangouts as soon as we get down there!

Message me if you so desire :3 Messenging me would be preffered..it will jsut make it easier and more personal, but if not, I shall stick to the boards :3:love:

~Epsilon

[tink774]

[disneymegs]

[Disney_Lover06]

Good luck to everyone who is going to the character auditions today and the next few days!!

[AAM85]

I now have accepted the Fall Advantage for Hospitality. I will be arriving June 7th. This is my second time around so I am hoping this gives me a better chance for a PI in the spring, if I don't get one this season.
I am soo excited to get back into Disney :banana:
Congrats to everyone! :thumbsup2

[disneymegs]

Congratulations! Which BBB are you hoping to work in?

i'll be happy to work in either one. downtown disney would be so much easier, but magic kingdom would be fun. princess:

[Cesilie]

the more i read about everyone else getting one of their top 3 choices the more disappointed I am... I don't want to be a poor sport but I didn't even PUT QSFB on my checklist! and I didn't have a nice friendly interviewer either :confused3 I don't want to call in and request something different, but what would you guys suggest doing? I really would've been happier if I would've gotten at least ONE of my choices.... :( there are tons of you guys getting into what I chose as my top 3.... so why the random QSFB add by the interviewer?

I dunno what to do... like I said, don't wanna be a pooper but I'd really like to see something else:confused:

[emilydawn]

I don't arrive til May 19th but I'm already starting to pack!!! lol. I'm so excited!!!

What were your top 3 and what qualifications did you tell your interviewer you had for each?

[Cesilie]

What were your top 3 and what qualifications did you tell your interviewer you had for each?

attractions
entertainment helper (or whatever its called, i can't remember ATM its not in front of me lol)
and
merchandising

I have experience in memorizing speeches for the place i currently work and htey asked that... I'm used to thousands a day (i work at the monterey bay aquarium) and speaking in front of many large crows.

as far as the costume/entertainment helper/assistant I have done that for 8 years with my ballet school and i've been "Friends" with quite a lot of well known characters like Madeline, Cat in the Hat, Maisy Mouse, etc. and I worked at build A bear and was "friends" with their mascot Bearemy. so i have lots of experience with that... and with kids :p

i dunno, i wish i would've gotten at least ONE of those...
is it something I should call Anette back about and maybe ask her? she said to call back if i had any additional questions

Did they ask you during the interview if you'd be willing to work QSFB? They did in mine and I said I would if it was the only way I could participate. If I said no, they wouldn't have considered me for that role and only picked from top 3. Luckily they didn't give it to me. They gave me my first choice, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, because I'm a make up artist and worked with kids at Build A Bear also :). Child experience is great anywhere in Disney, but the roles you asked for aren't all about the children. They deal with everyone. They definitely should have considered you for the character attendant role though. If I were you, I'd call my recruiter about it ONLY if you didn't say yes to QSFB during your interview. I hope this helps! :)

[PennyLou]

I don't arrive til May 19th but I'm already starting to pack!!! lol. I'm so excited!!!

aww! too cute :)

[pman111]

So kinda new to the Boards, what up Dis kids?

I'm pending for a CP in concierge, interviewed Feb 12th. I called them the other day and they said I was still pending. I also applied for 2 PIs in Guest Relations and MK Special Events.

The wait is a killer, you guys are all right. Congrats to the people who have got their acceptances, I am wicked jealous.

The gal had asked if I had ever worked in food or if I would be interstead... I told her no to both :l

[DVCboi4lfe]

was offered Conscierge today... still waiting for PI and MI though

[disneymegs]

The gal had asked if I had ever worked in food or if I would be interstead... I told her no to both :l

You should call your recruiter to talk about it.

[domi108]

A very out of the blue question for those who may know the answer to this.

I live in Florida, I've lived here for almost all of my life (lol) so I know we get these insane lightening and thunderstorms (like the insane apocalypse we had this morning...)
Are the cast members still supposed to be out there during these very dangerous storms (meaning standing outside, not under a shelter) to still sell items to guests?
This question would be for former merchandise cast members...

[Yongo10]

The gal had asked if I had ever worked in food or if I would be interstead... I told her no to both :l

What was the name of your interviewer? The same-ish kinda thing happened to me too....

[Cesilie]

What was the name of your interviewer? The same-ish kinda thing happened to me too....

I don't remember :C all i know is that she had a british accent and was not very friendly at all... in fact, some of her questions seemed almost automated :l

[DVCboi4lfe]

If any situation becomes unsafe the cast members are instructed to head off stage

I know in entertainment they don't make us go stand out in the storms, I'm pretty sure everyone is moved inside or under things at least. Disney's very very big about Safety or safeD as they say, so I'm sure you wont have to be a lightning rod. (which they also have a ton of lighting rods to attract it away from people, but I'm still pretty sure you don't have to be outside for it/un covered for it.

I just finished my phone interview so now its a waiting game!

Good luck to everyone who still has their interview :)

When I worked in merchandise, if it started raining bad enough (even if there was no lightning), we would close down the carts. Also, if there was just lighting (but no rain) we would close down as well.

[Disney_Lover06]

When I worked in merchandise, if it started raining bad enough (even if there was no lightning), we would close down the carts. Also, if there was just lighting (but no rain) we would close down as well.

That's good to know that carts close during some storms! If it does start raining and you have to close your cart, do you report to another location or are you on grid? Do you get an ER?

[Joanna71985]

That's good to know that carts close during some storms! If it does start raining and you have to close your cart, do you report to another location or are you on grid? Do you get an ER?

It depends on how busy it is, and staffing. If it's not too busy, and there are enough people, there were times when we got ERs. But if it's busy (or it doesn't look like it will be raining long) we usually got sent to another location.

[AliSW]

I just finished my interview too! I'm glad it's over.. honestly I don't think it was very good. I was so nervous. :guilty:

[Joanna71985]

Aww, I'm sure you did fine :)

[newdrama12]

I have put the application in but the presentation here on campus is next week. So I just have to go back in and put the presentation code in. Hope to be there for the Fall Advantage.

[TINAS74]

I have put the application in but the presentation here on campus is next week. So I just have to go back in and put the presentation code in. Hope to be there for the Fall Advantage.

It takes 30 minutes to 1 hour max to do the online presentation. I would seriously do that first and get your phone interview... its getting late into the app process now. You can still go to the presentation but its not like those recruiters can recommend people or make any difference on your actual application.

[Cesilie]

I have put the application in but the presentation here on campus is next week. So I just have to go back in and put the presentation code in. Hope to be there for the Fall Advantage.

I'd say go do the e-presentation, heck you don't even have to watch it, just keep clicking the forward button! my bf did that because we watched the presentation together and found out we could do that.... then go back and actually watch it/attend the real presentation... otherwise you lose your chances of getting into the program because its getting later into the process.

so watch the E-presentation, get the code, and schedule that phone interview! :D
:woohoo:

[AliSW]

Thanks I hope I did! It was about 15 minutes... she was nice at least.
I just think I was awkward and weird haha... like she asked if I liked working outside and I was like "Yes! Especially... I love the sun." And when she asked about working with money I had no idea what to say because I don't think I ever have. Also when asked about my job I started going on about what I learned instead of what I had to do for it. Then of course she said that and I realized I wasn't answering right... (so then I did say what I did of course)
About Character Attendant she asked why I wanted to do that and I said something about seeing the kids meet their favorite character would be great. About Main Entrance I said I would greet them by asking what they were most excited about or something going on that they could do... and for custodial she just asked what I thought they did. And at the end of talking about why I wanted to work there I was like "it IS the happiest place on earth so just making one persons day would be great" or something like that haha.
aghhhhh. I don't know, hopefully it was better than I think.

[Disney_Lover06]

Thanks I hope I did! It was about 15 minutes... she was nice at least.

aghhhhh. I don't know, hopefully it was better than I think.

I bet you did alot better than you think you did! I didn't think mine went very well but I got accepted. Good luck on waiting!

[AliSW]

Lucky you :) Thanks!

[VTchina]

Yeah I finished my phone interview earlier tonight too. I was nervous too, and when I'm nervous I can start talking fast.
Right off the bat, I have food court and movie concession experience, and she was asking me about cash-handling. I also tried to get into Attractions, said it was my #1 and she asked me about talking off a script in front of large groups, where I only have project presentations, nothing performancey, but said I could handle it. Also I mentioned Transportation and she asked why it was important, I replied how big Disney is and how everyone (guests and CMs) need to be getting somewhere, so it's important that it runs efficiently.
I still have some of my self-confidence intact, but just can't stand waiting to find out...

[pman111]

Thanks I hope I did! It was about 15 minutes... she was nice at least.
I just think I was awkward and weird

I was told once that if you don't feel like you got hit by a bus after the interview it didn't go well. How you feeling?

I was accepted to concierge today after 6 weeks of pending hurray! :goodvibes

I've been reading this board for a couple months now, but I thought I would finally come and post now that I have been accepted for Attractions in the Fall season! I am so excited! I was pending for a ridiculously long time and just when I had started to give up hope I got the invitation email this morning. This will be my second CP and I can't wait! :yay:

Congratulations! Yay for another Attractions CM! What role were you in on your last CP?

[SunshineJen]

I did housekeeping last time. I learned a lot about myself doing that job, but I never really want to do it again. I'm so happy that I now have a role where I can have more guest interaction and work in one of the parks. I felt kinda out of the loop working in a resort.

[AliSW]

I got accepted for Custodial!
I'm pretty happy but totally torn on leaving for a semester. I am in a dance thing at my college and I'll have to miss the winter shows, which shouldn't be a big deal but it's sad for me. I didn't tell my friends I was interviewing for this either and they'll be mad at me for leaving, plus one of them might do this for the winter semester and they keep telling her not to do it. And another friend keeps saying we'll do these dances next semester and I really want to but I know my mom won't let me turn this down. and I don't really want to either. if only I could do both haha...
I know there's not much advice for this but I had to get it out somewhere :P

[ZeroToHero]

You can always dance. You can't always be given the opportunity to work at Disney. I say go for it! :D

What your friends think shouldn't matter.

[AliSW]

I know, I wouldn't actually not do it because of them but I'm afraid to tell them haha. Plus I'd miss the second to last semester with the seniors but that's one reason I chose fall. I don't think I'd be able to turn this down!
I'm quite excited, I've heard custodial is actually pretty good. I'm really nervous though!

[DizNay]

Sort of late in the game I think to be pending a final decision. I'm an applicant for the FA '10 season. Lifeguarding was my primary job position, of course I applied for a lot more. Anyone else got a pending letter, and has been approved so far? How long did you have to wait?

[SunshineJen]

I got accepted today after six weeks of having a pending status. It was a total of ten weeks after my phone interview.

As excited as I am about the program, I'm a little reluctant about doing it in the fall as opposed to spring. Fall has my birthday, halloween, thanksgiving, christmas, new years, and while I'm sure these holidays would be fun at Disney, they also wouldn't be the same without family. Not to mention I'd be missing my favorite season in New England :/

Same for me, as well as my parent's anniversary (it's their 25th this year too). However, my mother is coming down for my birthday, I don't like Thanksgiving (I hate turkey! haha), and I'll be home less than 2 weeks after Christmas.

Also, I know that I'll miss New England too, but I'm sure January through March won't disappoint when I get back, haha.

And I thought I was the only person in this world that felt that way. Most people look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them I don't like turkey.

[steph1021]

I really want either merchandise or character attendant, but I have a feeling I'll be stuck in quick service food/beverage.

I know how you feel. The only things I'll be missing when I down in Florida are opening presents Christmas morning with the fam and 2 nieces & a nephews' b-days. I never really countdown to the new year and my family is not big on Thanksgiving.

I feel absolutely terrible for abandoning the boards, and for taking so long to find my way back. Congratulations to everyone receiving their acceptance letters! For those who were not accepted - don't lose faith in the program!

Charlie, a friend from my residence hall who is applying this season, convinced me to try again. April 14th at 10:30 a.m. was my interview. My top three choices are Character Attendant, Attractions, and Main Entrance Operations. The interviewer also wrote me down for Merchandise.

Best of luck to everyone! pixiedust:

I am pretty new to the boards, besides from the lurking I did for a while! Since you're all so welcoming, I decided to start posting :)

I applied for the Fall Advantage Program '10. I had my interview last Friday April 16th at 1pm. It went pretty well, I got asked a lot of attractions questions.

Question. If I get accepted for the Fall Advantage, can I change it to Fall?

Thanks!

[domi108]

[scaredyett]

We are currently looking to fill a bedroom in a 5 BR/3.5 BA, 2,200 ft² house. We're located in a quiet suburb south of US-192 between Kissimmee and Poinciana. The room that is opening up is pre-furnished. It contains a bed, dresser, desk, and TV stand. All you practically need to bring is you, your clothes, and some bedding and you're good to go!

It is a downstairs bedroom with close proximity to the downstairs half bath, however, you will have to share one of the two full bathrooms. The house is a great choice for Disney Cast Members, only a 7-10 minute drive from property!

Three of our residents are Disney Cast Members as well. The rent is $500 a month (which includes utilities), plus a $500 security deposit due at the signing of the lease. We are flexible with lease terms and lengths.

A gay-friendly roommate is a must! If you're interested in learning more, please give me a call at 732-207-5343 or message me back here.

Hey guys! My name is Will, I'm 21 and I'm from St. Petersburg FL. My check in day is August 23rd. Haven't really done any research on the whole apartment thing. But if anyone wants to room with me I'm looking. I'm not messy, I clean up after myself and I want to find some fun roommates who like to have fun and who aren't slobs.
If you're a Tampa Bay Rays fan that is a plus. I will have the games on every night.

[FutrImagineer]

Hey everybody, two girls and I are still looking for a roomie to round out a 2 BR in Chatham for an 8/11 arrival. If you're a 21+ nonsmoker, message me!

Have a magical day :)

[tink774]

Hey there, DISers! I've posted about this on Facebook, and I thought I'd post a thread here too. We're looking for one more roommate to complete our 2BR apartment. We hope to get an apartment in Patterson, non-wellness. None of us are extreme partiers so we don't want our apartment to be Party Central. Non-smoking is preferred but if you can keep it outside then we can negotiate.

Message me if you are interested! :woohoo:

[ihearrtsushi]

Only a month and a half to go until we hit August! Can't wait.. But it feels like there's so much to do before then.
