Well i just got back from a trip to WDW and i couldnt help but notice that there were a lot of kids in the College Program down there and from talking to them i found out that they all thought it was the best experience in their lives. This seems like something i am def gonna do... i mean come on 4 months in WDW..how could you resist? So who else is planning on doing the CP?

[KittieKat]

I am..lol..when i get to college.

[Disney Daniel]

I don't plan on doing the CP as such, but when the time comes I would love to do an internship with Disney. :)

[nsyncraider17]

I want to! I can't wait until i'm in college!

I was thinking the other day, that all these people on the TB want to do the CP, and a lot of us will probably end up doing it at the same time! The DIS could take over the CP lol!

[KittieKat]

woo yeah!

[TiggerBelle05]

sounds stupid for me to ask,what exactly is the college program?

[bubblemutant45]

wut?! its not stupid! how dare you?! :mad:
lol.....just kidding.....but seriously its not stupid. and everyone ive spoken to whos done it really loved it. many ppl come back afterwards to work in disney some more.
id explain it, but some else should cuz i dont know excactly.....:rolleyes:

I want to go on the IP next year, so you can all come and visit me at Epcot :teeth:

I wanna do it soo badly. You get to spend 4 months in WDW and you are doing it for college. Nothing beats that..lol.

The WDWCP (Walt Disney World College Program) is a program (well obviously!) where you live, work, and learn in Walt Disney World. You live in an apartment with a few other people in the College Program at a place called Vista Way. The place is like a little gated community, and it houses only WDWCP participants.

Not only do you live in Disney World, but you work there too! You work in the parks/hotels and you get paid a (small) salary. The program is for a few months, and you are required to take a few classes. Some colleges give credit for it, depending on the college and what your major is.

I've been looking forward to this since I was 9!!!! I've always wanted to do it, spent countless hours researching it...I'm obsessed lol. You'll see me there in a few years!

[teh fish]

keep in mind you have to give up a fall or spring semester to do the cp. After that session, you are allowed to work during the summer.

Most of the workers you see at disney are college program on international program. Some are there for 4 months other are there for 7. IP students are there for a full year. Most of the managment are not college program, but are former college programers themselfs. Its a great job, but the pay is not that good (6.00 an hour) and rent is alot also. (67.00 a week). People say it is the time of their life.

:wave: oh, a topic i can really relate to:cool: :D

[daughter_of_amid_chaos]

i definitely am!

[WDWfanatic288]

I am going to!!

oh Suzi do it!!!
or even better...wait until I can do it and we can do it 2gether! :p

[EPCOTgrl1]

i want to soo bad. Bu i have know ppl that really like it or really hated it! Like one guy that i know never wants to go back there agian for more the a week. but another guy wants to like down there! it all depends on you job and room mates

[KingKobra]

yea but all of us going down there at the same time.. .. It would be crazy!

[PigSoldier]

Yeah!! :teeth:

If I manage to get a place (not too likely, I manage to mess up most interviews :rolleyes: ), I'd be going down there next summer. Then I can meet you all when you go to WDW!! :teeth:

When would everyone else be doing the CP?

[EPCOTgrl1]

i would go in the summer of my freshman or sophmore year of college.

[Amgrease]

I really want to do the CP. The University of Florida (where I hope to go) has a deal with Disney so that if you take a class with them for a whole year you don't have to go for a spring or fall semster, you can just go in the summer. If I get into that class Freshmen year I'm going to do it that summer. I almost worked at Disney this summer but I didn't want to drive all the way over there everyday. Gas would take a big chunk out of my paycheck.

[DiSnEyGrL13]

I defintaly want to do this!!! I still have like 5 years left though!!

[natty41]

I definately want to do this! Only a couple years to go! Yeah and just imagine all of us down there at the same time! What a riot that would be!! :) :) :)

:smooth:

[Kiki]

I want to do this... I like some of the jobs there, like the ones where the people stand around during parades (I dunno, it makes them seem official), or a character, or one of those people at the port by the cruise ship that load things on! They get to use forklifts! They are so cool! hehe :rolleyes: What I really want to do is be a doctor, but the first aid places probably never see any action so I'd be sleeping Zzzzzz.... :)

[rainblink]
