How About Some Introductions?

[Sabbie]

Howdy guys. I'm Sabrina. 19, working on 20. Full time student over at the University of North Florida here in Jacksonville.. and future Disney Cast Member for the Spring Advantage Program 2007. :) I'm Filipino, naturally from the islands, but have lived in Florida for ages. I'm majoring in animation, and I hope to, one day, work for Pixar. I've done webdesign, graphic design, animation, and etc for years (since I got my first computer)!

I live in a two bedroom apartment with two boys (yes, you have no idea about the frustrations of my life, haha) in Jacksonville. I have two cats, but they stay with my parents.. anddddd.. I drive an awesome Honda Civic Hatchback. Oh, and I love Disney. OBVIOUSLY!

:o)

[IAmAPrincess]

Hey everyone!

I'm Jennifer, and I'm addicted to Disney! I'm 22, graduated from the University of Winnipeg in May 2006 (BSc, major in math), and currently I am working full and time and still going to school. I am enrolled in the CGA program and taking classes at the University of Manitoba.

I have been to Disney World 5 times already, and am going again in April. My birthday also happens then, so I will be celebrating a Disney birthday. I'm hoping to have a character breakfest with the Princesses that morning, because, hey! I am a Princess! lol

Can't wait to get to know some of you, and share disney experiences!

[BlockheadAriel]

hi, everyone. i'm dee. let's see...i guess you want the details :D i'm 18 and a freshman at the Univeristy of Missouri studying music, journalism, and theatre. it's a lot, but i'm working on it :goodvibes i teach children's theatre here and i LOVE it!

i'm really interested in doing the CP program after i get into j-school. i was going to do an internship in scotland but decided that disney was where i really wanted to be, even if you don't get paid amazingly and it can be hard work at times. i've been to disney 20 times, and disneyland paris once, so i am FAIRLY acquainted with things ;)

i really want to be able to do entertainment at MK, but i know it's hard to get into. anyway, if you want to talk my info is in my profile.

thanks!

[minijenny]

hey all, i'm jen. i'm 23 and working on a master's degree in behavioral fish ecology at the university of illinois. i just dragged my boyfriend for a 10 day excursion to WDW last week (jan 4th-13th). my first time in 11 years and his first time ever. he's been to DL paris though. he thought i was crazy for planning the trip for a year, but we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it (although he spent some time in the room studying for a huge exam while i ventured out solo). we couldn't get over how good all the food was.

not sure what else to say about myself, except i've been a disney fan my whole life. thanks in part to my dad.

favorite disney movie: anything with pirates. from peter pan to POTC pirate:

[sarbruis]

Hullo. My name is Beauregard. I am twenty, and I'm doing the Spring Advantage program this spring. I've been to two different colleges so far: Wichita State University for two non-consecutive semesters (I did a CP in between there, and took a semester off to help my dad open a paint store) and DigiPen Institute of Technology for one semester (this previous fall). After my program ends I'm going to go to England and pursue (and finally get) a Bachelor's of Art degree. I'm undecided between Bath Spa University (BA in Creative Writing with Film Studies) and Lancaster University (BA in English Literature and Creative Writing with Practice). So, we'll see.

[suggies08]

I'm new to the board, so lets see....

My name is Jessica, Soon to be 19. I am currently working on my Vet Tech degree and hope to transfer to SFCC in FL for the Zoology Program.
My dream job is to work as a zoo keeper at Animal Kingdom. I have loved everything disney ever since I can remember. I took my first trip to Disney World when I was 16 and and fell in love. I am planning my third trip, a two week getaway, for this year! I am a complete disney-holic, who cries everytime she see's Wishes. My whole family thinks I have gone Disney crazy...thank god I found ppl who share the addiction
:grouphug:

My Favorite Disney Movies: Bambi, The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas...of course I love them all!!

[Uuaww]

welcome, i suggest getting on the massive facebook group we have going.

[CelticBelle]

Hey Im Sam. Im an animal Biology major at university of California Davis. Ive only been to WDW once when i was little, but DL countless times. Im really interested in finding an internship at the animal kingdom someday...far away.

And suggies08 I totally know what you mean, and I have the same asperations.

[badktty]

Hi!! I'm new here!

My name is Erin and I'm 25 years old. I'm currently a "sophomore" (even though I've been in school for 6 years...lol) at Western Michigan University. My major is Criminal Justice and my minor is Sociology/Concentration in Social Psychology.

I've recently been accepted into the WDWCP for Fall 07! My arrival date is August 15th and I'll be working in Merchandising...and I am SO excited!!!

:cheer2:

[Sehsun]

Hey Erin, I think you know who I am (Iris). I have the same AIM screen name and username at LJ. I started to read your post and I was like, hmm...that major/minor sounds familiar....then I saw your username and knew who you were. ;)

I'm glad you've joined the DISboards!

[badktty]

Yep!!! I know who you are! Heehee =)

[Cmdbuddy]

I don't think I've posted on this thread before. Sorry if I have.

I'm a senior at Auburn University majoring in Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in Pre-Medicine. After graduating in December, I will be attending Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, FL (about an hour and a half away from my favorite place in the world! :cool1: )

I'm a private pilot, and I like to spend time outdoors. I love all sports, especially AUBURN FOOTBALL (WAR EAGLE!) I also like photography, boating, camping... just about anything to get me out of the house.

I've been to Disney World 24 times and #25 is just over 3 weeks away. I'm from New Orleans, so my family would always go for Mardi Gras when I was a kid. We have DVC memberships at the Beach Club and at the Wilderness Lodge.

Got any questions? Ask away :-)

[QueenRahel]

hi all, i just joined and am a disney fanatic all my life...i grew up here in orlando, fl and may never want to move just so i can eventually share with my kids one day the magic of visiting disney parks as frequently as i did as a child with my family....i have many fond memories with family there as we all live in central florida....i know the parks and hotels like the back of my hand so if anyone is visiting ask me any questions as i know and love central florida! i also attend valencia cc going for my diagnostic medical sonography degree and have been begging my bf of four years, who unfortunately hates disney, to take me again soon!

[disneyfreak87]

Hi, I'm Jessica and I'm 20 years old. I'm currently a sophomore Broadcasting major at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. I've been to Disney World 9times now and am obsessed with all things Disney. I hope to work for the mouse eventually, that would be way too cool. Anyway, it's great to be here! :yay:

[Princess Laura]

hey everyone. i've been a bit of a lurker for a while and getting myself all excited about my family's next trip to WDW in september. so i've got round to signing up and figured it'd be best to introduce myself here as i'm "college age" haha.

i'm laura, i'm 19 (20 in a few weeks), and i'm a student at portsmouth university in the uk, studying web design. i don't get to go to WDW as often as i'd like, *** of it being so far away, i've been 5 times since the age of 6. and in the past few years i've been to disneyland paris a few times.

[Alaisa]

Hey everyone!!
I'm Alaisa and I'll be a sophomore at UF this summer (although technically I'm still in highschool... :cutie:). I am completely in love with Disney which is partly due to my boyfriend and his family (who have all been castmembers at least sometime in their lives for the past three generations.) He doesn't seem to understand my obsession, though. :confused3
I actually applied up at Casting last week and I have an audition tomorrow, so depending on how that goes I might be working up at the parks soon!!
So naturally I'm excited...:cloud9:

[Jetergal87]

Hey.....I'm nineteen years old and attend Bowling Green State University in Ohio. I am a sophomore early childhood education major. I am in LOVE with Disney, literally. I have been to Disney World over thirty times and Disneyland four times. I even went to the Pirates of the Caribbean 2 premiere. I am going back this summer in June for my 20th bday and going on the Disney cruise in July. :earsboy:

[CdnMouseEars]

Hey Everyone!
I'm Jenn, a 20 year old English Education major here in Calgary, Canada.
I've never been to WDW, but am going to DLR in June to meet up with a friend. I've only been once for a half-day junior-high band trip in 2001, so needless to say I did not get my full DL fix! :laughing: Can't wait for my 5-day trip in June though!

[alorenzo]

I'm 20, Christian, and currently attending Moorpark College. I don't know where I want to transfer to yet. My major is Communications - TV/Film.

Live in So Cal and am a Premium Pass holder thanks to my Uncle Angel. I'm a longtime Disney fan. Probably not as hard core as others here on the boards, but enough to stand out.

[ISUKoalabear]

I'm Jami, 24 years old, in August I'll turn 25. I live in Illinios, been in school way to long not sure I'll ever get done. I did the College Program in 2005 and now will be doing an internship June-January. Looking for a place to live down there and some friends since I wont be in Northbridge with everyone.

If anyone wants to chat I have aim which is the same as my username....

Jami::MinnieMo :cat:

[EPCOTgrl1]

So I don't know if I have done this before or not...

My name is Chelsea and I am 21. I have done the college program in 2005. Now I am back home and going to college. I am a theatre production major focusing on stage management. I just sent my resume up to NYC to work on a MAJOR production :) I am engaged to a wonderful guy name Jake.

I think that is everything.

[mrpinkerton]

Hello all! My name is Jonathan Pinkerton, I'm 22 and I'm from Sacramento, California. I just got offered a Communications Planning Internship working for Eyes & Ears. I'm a journalism student at California State University, Sacramento and I'm currently on an internship as a features writer with The Sacramento Bee.

I'm totally excited to move cross country and make new experiences! I've never been to Disney World but I've been to Disneyland like 4 times since August so I'm kind of a Disney nerd.

Anyone else from Nor Cal?

[rockstargeisha]

Allo all. :] My name is Mandie and I am currently a sophmore at the Art Institute of Los Angeles. My major is Game Art and Design AKA Video Game design. It's a lot of hard work and doesn't allow me a lot of free time but I love my very small school and major.

I've been a Disney fan for as long as I can remember. Disneyland was a common destination for my family when I was young since we lived just 30 minutes away. Through high school I purchased annual passes and on many a day just hung out there after school to people watch. There's no way I can remember how many times I've visited, hehe. I constantly crave the frozen lemonades.

As far as other Disney parks go I've been to WDW, Tokyo Disney and on the Disney cruise when it was still the big red boat. I cherise my Disney memories so much that I've been eager to get a performance job at Disneyland. I've gone to numerous auditions with no luck yet but will continue to try.

My next Disney vacation is planned for this coming July to WDW. *so excited*

Glad to be here and look forward to meeting some of you. :goodvibes

[Nimbus]

Eyo all. Name's Shawn and I'm from Iowa. I'm 21 and currently an English education major. Yeah, it's my fourth major now but I've stuck with this one for about a year and a half now so I'm thinking it's going to be a keeper. The first time I wen't to DW was earlier this year for a track meet and now I've convinced my parents that the family should vacation their next summer, so I've been lurking 'round these boards trying to figure out the ins and outs of Disney :)

[EpcotLove]

Hi, I am Vicky, I am 22. I currently attend NC State and I am majoring in Psychology, with a focus on industrial/organization psych. I have been going to Disney World since I was born. I went twice last year and got engaged in Sept 2006 at Epcot. I turned my fiancee into a very crazed disney fan! We are currently excited about our trip this september, and hope that after I graduate from college we can get married at WDW!

[Blonde Pixie]

Well technically I am not in College yet, but come Fall 07 I will be entering the U. Of MD. as a Freshman. I am Graduating Highschool this June.:cool1:

[Sehsun]

[Willow1213]

Hi Everyone! My name is Abby. I am a 21 year old student at Georgia Tech. My major is Business Management with a certificate in Information Technology. I am on the boards to find some great ideas for my first official "adult" vacation with my boyfriend in August. I hope toy get to know some people and get some great tips and budget ideas here!

Welcome, Abby! My brother and sister-in-law attended GT. I hope you find helpful info on these boards - they are a great resource! I will be heading down to WDW in August too, for my internship. :yay:

[DisneyGirl421]

I don't think I ever actually introduced myself on this board, so I might as well... lol

I'm Laura. I'm 19 years old, and just finished my freshman year at Gettysburg College. I'm a History major (concentration on American History) and a Theatre Arts minor. I have no idea what I want to do with that, but oh well, I have three years to figure that out.

I've been on the DISboards since I was 12 (mostly on the Teen Boards), but I figured I'd move on to the College Board now. lol

I've been to WDW 8 times (9 in less than a month!), DL once, and the DCL 3 times (again, 4 in less than a month!).

I really wanted to do the college program, but it was either the college program or studying abroad, and I reallllly want to study in Italy, so I am choosing to go abroad.

Anywho, that's about it! :)

[MadameLeota]

Ello all. My name's Brenna...I'm 19...I'm finally a sophomore at Weatherford College (Weatherford TX) and will be transferring to Tarleton State University (Stephenville TX) in Fall 2008. I'm an Early Education major.

Been to WDW 3 times...might go back sometime in the summer of 08 with my boyfriend, when he gets back from Saudi.

More introduction to me...I freakin love TOOL...simply the greatest band to ever come about. Simply greatness to my ears! :music:

[Bingaling]

Hey everybody! =]
I'm Diana, 19 years old, going to be a sophomore at Bloomsburg University in PA. I'm not declared yet, but I plan on majoring in psychology.

I pretty much grew up at Disney World when I was a kid (I used to live down there!) and as you can see, I'm still pretty into it. (That's a bit of an understatement). I plan on doing the spring internship program in 2009, and once I graduate from college I'm moving to Orlando ASAP!

What I plan on doing with psychology in Disney? Yeah, I have no idea. I just know Disney is where I need to be and we'll see what happens! =]

[Sehsun]

Hi Diana!
I was a Psych major as well, and I'm doing the Disney College Program for this fall. I've had a couple people ask me if my major has anything to do with what I'll be doing in the CP. I guess it doesn't directly, but I believe that Psychology is useful in any field you go into. That's cool that you're going to do the CP in a couple years! Good luck in school!

[Bingaling]

Sehsun, it's a relief to hear that other people who have a psychology major are doing the CP, 'cause I was worried I wouldn't get accepted because of it! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get credits from my school if I get accepted.

Good luck in the fall! I'm jealous, haha.

[helloirishkitty]

My name's Liz, I'm 21, and I go to the University at Buffalo. I'm going for my PharmD, so in 3 years hopefully I'll be living close enough to Disney!! :)

I really wanted to do the college program, but with my program it's impossible. Oh well... :sad2:

[Sehsun]

Sehsun, it's a relief to hear that other people who have a psychology major are doing the CP, 'cause I was worried I wouldn't get accepted because of it! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get credits from my school if I get accepted.

:) The thing is, it doesn't matter what your major is - the program is open to students with all majors. So no worries there!

Good luck in the fall! I'm jealous, haha.

Thank you! 64 days left till I check-in. :cool1:

[TTAunload]

Hey all. I've been kind of lurking on this board for a while and finally decided to sign on last month.
I'm Dyan and I go to the University of Hawaii/Kapiolani CC majoring in Med Tech. My first CP was during Spring '04 and I worked over at the Grand Floridian as a Housekeeping Resort Runner and Dispatcher. The second time was Summer Alumni '05 in Tomorrowland Attractions- (the former) Buzz Complex. I've got to say those were the best times of my life. Besides my 2 CP's, I've been to WDW once and twice to DL and hopefully back to DL in the next year.

[CelticBelle]

Well, thats the brief me!

[chipperpear]

Hello :)

I'm new to DISboards.com and I thought this would be a good place to introduce myself. I'm 23 years old and I just graduated from college with a bachelors degree in Physics with a minor in Computer Science. I am hoping that I will get to start gradaute school in psychology (yep, very different!) this autumn. I've been to WDW numerous times and adore Disney themeparks, music, movies, decoration, and etc... It's spectacular! :)

Aww... I tried to post my picture, but I don't have enough posts to post a link! LOL, well, I hope I can post it soon : )

Kindly,

Hi NS and welcome to DISboards! Congratulations on your college graduation as well :thumbsup2(my brother got his bachelor's in applied physics). That's cool that you are going to study psychology in grad school - psych was my undergrad major, and I really enjoyed it. :) You're lucky that you're going to be living pretty close to WDW! :yay:

[chipperpear]

[QUOTE=Sehsun;19255855]Hi NS and welcome to DISboards! Congratulations on your college graduation as wellQUOTE]

Thanks! :yay:

It's very nice living near WDW! My friend and I have the seasonal pass which expired early June and boy did I put that pass to good use! :woohoo:

It was difficult to go to WDW when class was in session, however, being away from WDW for a while and then going back made the trip even more exciting. I can imagine the intense excitement one may have traveling from another state to get to WDW... I may be experiencing that shortly (still waiting to hear back from grad schools in NY and CA :hourglass).

I haven't stayed in Disney since 1992, when I was 8. I went for a day over a spring break in sophomore year of college and had a blast. So much has changed, it's a completely new experience. My next trip is scheduled and booked!!! I'm going from December 26th to the 31st, with my family, and my gf and her family.

[Andrusi]

Hi! Just arrived. I'm a male 23-year-old geek with a shortly upcoming degree in computer science from North Carolina State University--just finished what had darn well better be my last semester. I decided to take my last chance to apply for the Disney College Program, and lo and behold, I got in. Despite being through with classes, I hereby declare that I am still a college student until further notice. I am a big fan of Epcot And Those Other Places, and from the way I described WDW you can probably guess what my favorite park is. I heart many flavors of Disney, particularly the Pixar stuff.

In addition to that, I spend way too much time online posting on message boards (which is likely to get worse now!), I watch anime you've probably never heard of because you're not a little Japanese girl, I refuse to stop building with Legos, and I've been a Transformers fan since I was old enough to say Optimus Prime.

I think that's about it.
"OBJECTION! What about me?"
Oh, right. I'm also a gamer, particularly fond of the Nintendo DS. I enjoy series such as Sonic, Pokémon, various varieties of Mega Man, and of course Phoenix Wright.

Oh, and one other thing. tar heel is my mother. So if you're wondering who's to blame for me, now you know.

[LadyStardust]

Hi all, I'm Katrina and I'm 22. Though I've been to college, I'm not a college student right now, but this forum seems to fit me better than Adults and Solos. I'm what I like to call a Disney Junkie, and I recently moved about 2 hours away from WDW, so I can get my fixes more often now!

[lostinwonderland]

Hello.

Firstly, this is my first post here, so Hiyaa! I usually just snoop around the UK Boards and Trippies..

Anywhoo.. I'm Annie, I'm 18, Staring Coventry Uni in September doing Journalism.. I looove Disney, more than a normal person should, but I guess that's why I'm here!

I've been to Disneyland Paris 4 or 5 times, but have never been to WDW although will be next year :cool1: :cool1:

The other loves of my life are my Cats (5 *cough*) and my DBF (Russell. 20)

That's me in a nutshell. :)

[eweezer]

Hi!
I'm Emily and this is my first post! I'm 23 and I'm finally going back to school this Fall! Right now I'll just be getting my Associates in Liberal Arts and then I need to find a school to get my Bachelor's in Zoology! It feels great to finally know what I want to do for the rest of my life! :cool1:

Anywhoo...I've been to Disneyland more times than I can count! But I've never been to Disney World. I'm thinking about applying for the 08 spring CP! But I'm not sure yet...I get myself all excited for it and know without a doubt that I'll make it but then later I freak myself out about not making it so it holds me back from wanting to interview! Blah...I'll figure it out!

Anyway, this place is great! Love it!

[BornToPerform]

Hi everyone.

hey guys, im jake, 18, and this is my first year of college... im majoring in either bio or physics (still havent decided), but that may change...

scientist aspect aside, i will always love disney haha... the parks are always great and i basically grew up with those movies... also noticed that these boards are a little inactive so youll catch me jumping between here and the teen board lol

[alana is splashtrash]

Hey everyone, my name's Alana, I'm 18 and I live in Chicago. I love Disneyworld!

[Sorahana]

Hey, I'm Amanda and I'm a junior in college in PA. I'm waiting for a response on the CP, so nervous X3!!

I've been to WDW 8 times and Disneyland once. I LOVE DISNEYWORLD and my first thought when I went to Disneyland was "...that's it?!" (when I saw the size of that castle in comparison to the one in WDW) lol.

STITCH IS AWESOME, yea....so hi X3.

[WClancysbro]

My name is Josh

I am currently a first semester freshman at the University of Northern Colorado and I had my interview for the Spring 2008 Disney CP yesterday.

Needless to say...

I'm pretty stoked.

[MadameLeota]

I can't remember if I've introduced myself before...

I'm Brenna...junior at Weatherford College, about to transfer to Abilene Christian University...

Would LOVE to do the CP but don't think I'll be able to :(

[nonomad]

I am Jill, I'm 18 and I'm from Fort Collins, CO.

I go to the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley and I love it here but I know I'll love Disney more! I am majoring in business and I'm gonna concentrate in marketing. I hope to sell or design ads, maybe even for Disney.

I have loved Disney since I was a kid and have been to the Magic Kingdom many times, because I have family in Florida. My favorite Disney movie is either Toy Story or The Emperor's New Groove.

[Ashleigh84]

Hi, my name is Amanda and I am from Barstow, California. It's widely considered by most to be a pit stop between LA and Vegas, but I love it=) I'm 20 years old and graduated this past June with a double degree in Liberal Arts and Fine Arts. I'm not really sure what the next step is that I want to take in life. I just know that I want to do something creative that involves Disney. Hence the reason I applied for the college program. I really love dancing. I have tried a little bit of everything but my favorite styles are hip-hop and jazz. I am waiting to audition for a character performer role on November 18th for the 2008 spring semester. Wish me luck! =)

Hi everybody. I used to post here on the teen boards (so many years ago I forgot my login name/password) and I think I have posted under this username before, but my name is Dee. I'm 19 and from Missouri. I'm a journalism/theatre student and i love Disney. My family goes at least once a year and we've gone to Disneyland Paris and all that jazz. I'm planning on doing the Fall 2008 CP so I was hoping to meet some people here before I go down. I want to do characters/entertainment and I know how hard that is to get into so my next two choices are operations and merchandise. My dream job is somewhere at the Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom. Feel free to im me if you're doing the fall cp!

[Joanna71985]

Good luck with becoming a campus rep. It is soooo much fun.

[Lei]

Halo semua, apa kabar?* I'm Lei from Jakarta, Indonesia. Been around since 1984. had an associate degree in Broadcasting and a bachelor degree in English from University of Indonesia. Currently working as part of a creative team for an upcoming theme park in Indonesia. Constantly fights her urge to sleep during office hours, but failed most of the time :laughing: Would someday sue offices for not giving its employees nap time! A chronic procrastinator who claims that long siestas, fantastic foods, and big bad books are her life purposes. And of course, Disney :)

Visited Tokyo several times because of Dad's job, and has become a huuuge Tokyo DL and Tokyo Disney Sea.

Had my very first WDW experience last month (read the TR, if you care ;) ). It was short but sweet :love:

Been dying to work for Disney park, but honestly doesn't know how. It's nice to have a dream, anyway. Cheers, everyone!

*Hi all, how are you?

[littlebitsmommie]

princess: hello, i am jessica a senior at ECU in N. Carolina. I am going to disney for the first time since I was a child and taking my DD who is 5 at thanksgiving. i am also new to the boards.

[dispatch]

I'm not really new, but not old and haven't introduced myself... so here goes!

My name is Jess and I am a 21-year-old senior at Arizona State University. I will be getting my degree in Journalism & Mass Comm.--Strategic Media and Public Relations w/ a minor in Communication Studies in about 45 days! After graduation in a little over a month, I am hoping to move back to Florida to do a PI with FTW, DEG, or Guest Relations.

I did the CP in Fall 2005 and worked in the front office of Disney's BoardWalk Hotel as a Bell Services dispatcher. I am here to answer any questions people may have about the CP... Specifically, I'd love to tell you about Bell Services (a job I was mistakenly placed in but grew to love) and how I managed to do the CP and still graduate in 3.5 years. If you are in need of advice, feel free to ask!!

My dream job at Disney would be as a performer in the High School Musical 2 Pep Rally, so if you can lend a hand in helping me make that a reality, let me know!

Have a magical day :)

[ohgosh]

Hey my name is Jackie and I'm 18 from Chicago. I'm a freshman at DePaul University. Major- undecided, but probably public relations. Been to disney 9 times and can't wait to do the CP!

I go to Depaul too! How exciting, haha.

As for my formal introduction, I'm currently a sophomore at Depaul and originally from Detroit. I can't decide if I should do the CP, or just wait until I graduate and be a CM for a year, but we'll see :)

Hi my name is Travis. I'm 19. And I am addicted to Disney! LOL

No, I am a student at Springfield College in Illinois, studying business, and going to WDW CP Spring 2008 as a QFABS! I'm super duper excited! Im leaving January 25th to arrive the 28th.

Hope to see some of you down there!

[Dee/Belle]

I didn't really feel like making an extra thread for this (for organizational purposes) but I wanted to share with you all. I begged and pleaded with my parents to get me a dog for my high school graduation and they FINALLY agreed! I got a beautiful sheltie and named her "Wendy" before I even saw her. Wendy because of "Peter Pan" and also because of a song written by someone I know and sang by a friend ("Never Neverland"). Here's a video I put together of her yesterday...she has come a LONG way since I first got her a year and a half ago. She's VERY shy but is doing SO much better. She's the best dog I could ever have asked for.

I hope you enjoy!

-- My favorite theme park is the Disney-MGM Studios.
-- My favorite stage show was HOND: A Musical Adventure.
-- My favorite fireworks show is Fantasmic.
-- Robin Hood is under-appreciated by this company.
-- I'm applying for the WDWCP for Fall '08 as a hopeful character performer or a ride operator for the Great Movie Ride.

-- My all-time Disney dream is to be in a Disney stage show.

Greetings everyone!

My name is Brenna and I am 23. I am currently working on my masters degree at Iowa State University - I'll be done in May, woo hoo!:cheer2:

I am a huge Disney trivia geek. I just got married in May in true Disney fashion - we did everything in a Disney Animated feature theme, down to the Green Mad Hatter Hat for our wedding cake!

I've been to Walt Disney World five times in the last 10 years - I try to go at least once every other year if I can make. I wish I could go more, but the trip from Iowa is a little high for a college student :sad2:

[LaurenMic]

Hey! I'm Lauren, and I'm in my senior year at the University of Connecticut. I'm a teaching major, turning 22 the end of this month.

I'm heading to Disney on Jan 1st. This will be my 18th trip to WDW, and my BF's first...his graduation gift :) He doesn't quite understand my Disney obsession yet, but I think he'll catch on soon!

[lilmissdisney216]

Hey all my name is Meredith.

I am 23 and a Disney addict. I have been five or six times to Disneyworld and once to Disneyland. I am going with my boyfriend to DW from Jan 30-Feb 5 and I can't wait! It will be my first time in the World for ten years! I am excited to get to sample beer from around the world!

[Caribbeanprincess]

Hello all! My name is Laura and i'm 18. I'm a freshman student at the University of Puerto Rico, doing a Bachelor's degree in English. I'm a huge Disney fanatic and have been since the day I was born. I've been to Disney World 4 times in my lifetime, the last trip was a few weeks ago. One of my life goals is to visit all the Disney parks around the world and my dream job is working as a chracter/performer at WDW (princess please?). I'm planning to attend the college program for spring of next year. I also plan to go to WDW with my boyfriend this June, but that is still undecided, but hopefully...

Nice to meet everyone! :D

[princesskimbers]

I almost didn't consider posting here because I thought a 26 year old going on 27 would be considered too old! :lmao:

Glad to know that's not the case as that's how old I am and I am in college so I guess I qualify for this board. I'm currently attending the Art Institute Online, a division through the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, and I live near Phoenix, Arizona with my parents due to finances. My major's Interactive Media Design and Web Design and when I finish in 2012 (taking a class at a time as it can be pretty stressful with them only lasting 5.5 weeks and I'd like to be able to find a part time job as well), I'm hoping to get a job in the entertainment industry. It'd be nice if it was Disney but I'll be happy elsewhere, I'm sure.

I'm a Disney aficionado though I've only been to Disneyland but hope to go to Walt Disney World once my debt is paid off! My favorite characters include Pluto, Meeko, Goofy, Donald Duck, Stitch, Cruella DeVille, Tigger, Chip & Dale, and probably more that I'm missing. When I'm not thinking about Disney which is 24/7 these days, I like watching "Days Of Our Lives" (big Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn fan), bowling, watching my beloved Phoenix Suns, roleplaying, goofing off on my computer, watching other things on TV, listening to music (anything but heavy metal), playing with my family's miniature schnauzer (he's a hoot!), and shopping.

Well, that's me in a nutshell!

[Missish]

I'm Emma, and since I'm from the UK, I'm at a university rather than college, but hi, I'm posting in this thread anyway! (I've also posted in the UK university thread)

Anyway, yes, I'm 19 and in my first year at university. I've been to WDW 10 times, with my 11th time coming up in March! :yay:
I've also been to Disneyland in California, and to Disneyland Resort Paris twice. I love how DLRP is so much closer, but nope, my family and I are all about the WDW!

[Shmoopsie]

Hi here!
My name is Julia, I'm 20 years old (21 in 2 weeks). I'm from South of France, a city called Montpellier. Last summer and for Christmas Hollidays, I've been working in Disneyland Resort Paris as character and as Snow White!! It was so excited!
I'm gonna go to WDW this summer (August) with my boy friend! It's a big travel for us and we are very excited to go there! I hope to meet people on this website and learn more about your experience as Guests or as CM's! It could certainly help us for our visit!!

Sorry for my english if I've made some mistakes!!

A bientot! ;)

[impsythealmighty]

Hi! I'm Molly, I'm a junior at Tulane University in New Orleans majoring in English Lit and Medieval Studies. I've been to DisneyWorld four times (1st grade, 8th grade, performed in a parade with my marching band in 11th grade, and went with family less than a month ago) and DisneyLand once. I love all Disney movies, but my favorite is "Beauty and the Beast," because I'm just like Belle in real life. :) I interviewed for the Fall Advantage 08 program this morning, and my interviewer said there I "will have no problem getting in," so yay! I still have to do my character audition at some point (I'm 4'9") but hopefully it will go well! Nice to meet you all!

[AshleyT1987]

Hi! I'm Ashley. I'm a junior at the University of Missouri Columbia, but I spent my first two years of school at UW Madison (Go Badgers!). I'm majoring in International Studies with an emphasis in Latin American Studies and a minor in Spanish :)


I'm HOPING to do the Fall 2008 program. My interview is Thursday afternoon, so I'll know soon enough! Let's see, what else... I've been to Disneyland twice and 4 times to Disney World- I didn't take my first trip to DW until I was 15 though! I then went three times in the next two years lol. One of the times was to film the ABC Christmas Day Parade, so that was pretty cool : ) My favorite Disney movie is def the Little Mermaid, but I absolutely LOVE the broadway version of the Lion King.

I guess that's all for now! Oh yeah, feel free to find me on facebook or myspace... I'm Ashley Thornhill and I think I'm in the Missouri and Wisconsin networks and my myspace is on my profile i think!

I have no idea whether or not I already filled this out or not, since I joined awhile ago. Anyway, I'm probably going to be on here alot more, so I figure I should introduce myself to everybody.

I'm Matt, I have an associates degree in Video and Radio Production, and I'm currently going for a bachelor's degree in Digital Recording Arts. I'm more or less going to school for video and film. I live in New England. I'm a huge movie buff, I own somewhere around 1,200 movies. I'm also a big music and video games fan. I obviously am also a huge fan of theme parks, especially Disney. But anyway, that's basically me. Nice to meet all of you!!:thumbsup2

[Emma Emma Emily]

So I introduced myself in the thread for fall 08' CP hopefulls. But I know that know that not everyone gets along to all the threads. SOOOOO here I go.

I'm Emily, 20 and live in Lowell, Mass. It's about half hour from boston and 4 minutes from NH. I'm a sophmore at U Mass Lowell.I'm an English lit major with a history addiction.I read pretty much about anything I can get my hands on, and yes that does include Romance novels. Shhhhh its my guilty pleasure.HAHA
I've been to Disney World about 9 times. The last two times I went my family used it as an excuse for a fmaily reunion. So we went with about 25 people give or take a few who had to leave early or came late.
I'm a pirates of the caribbean fan! and an even bigger harry potter fan. although sadly WB has HP rights......
I've applied to the fall 08' college program. I want to work at the bibbidi bobbidi boutique merchandise, recreation or hospitality. I do like to party occasionally, but I have to be in the right mood for it. So yes I would like to live in chatham so that I don't have a constant inejection of WOOO PARTAY day and night.

Hi everyone,

I'm Stephanie and I'm new to the boards! I am a junior at Bryant University studying Management.

I'm interested in doing either the WDWCP or a Professional Internship with Disney this Fall. I've grown up a huuuuge fan of Disney- my family drives down from New England every summer since I was little.

I've been reading the boards for a while now, and I finally decided to start posting as well!

hi ! I'm Stefanie and a freshman at Northern Illinois University studying Communications. Born and raised in a suburb of Chicago. I've been around these boards for a while but just recently started posting again. I've been going to Disney World since I was five and have loved everything about it ever since. It's been a rough freshman year of college and I keep counting down the days until I am back in Disney which is only 76!!

[Krystal87]

Hi. My name's Krystal. I go to the University of South Florida on Tampa, Fl. I'm a junior majoring in Mass Communications and minoring in Theater. I live less than 2 hours from Disney, so I've been there countless times throughout my childhood and even on field trips every year. However, I've always dreamed of working having my career with Disney, and I feel like this would be a great step for me.

I'm Nicole. I'm 20 years old, a sophomore in college and studying business administration.
I've only been to Disney twice and the first time I was 17 years old. I guess that explains why I love it so much, I never got my fill as a kid! If I could be any cast member I'd be Ariel, I love her to death!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone!
My name is Kat and I am a freshman at West Virginia University. I am a Theatre major with my concentration in acting. I love all things Disney and especially Walt Disney World. My favorite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast. I have been to Disney World at least 17 times and from the first time I went, I wanted to be one of the dragonflies in SpectroMagic. Hopefully soon my dream will come true, because i am auditioning for an entertainment position very soon!
It's nice to be a part of the boards!!!

[*~*stacey*~*]

Hi I'm Stacey, 1st year at University of Notre Dame Australia (Fremantle campus) doing a bachelor of commerce/arts. I love Disney and have ever since I was...like before I can remeber. My favorite movie is Beauty and the Beast and I cried when the video machine ate up my video and so now I have to wait 3 years until it is re-released again :( . I've only been to Disney Land Paris once (April last year) and thats the only park but we had so much fun there...however I think mum is thinking of going to America in December/January and so we will probably go to Walt Disney World. I'm also trying to convince people that Disney should put a park in Australia because the closest one to us is still 7 hours flying time to Hong Kong and my friend says it isnt as good as the others.

[DerekVL]

Hi there, I wanted to write my first post in here to introduce myself and meet other Disney freaks my own age.
My name is Derek and I am from Vancouver Canada, I'm 23 and finishing up my BA in Youth Work from a college up here.
I've been to Disneyland many times, but only been to disney world once, and I have to say I am hooked. I'm planning on taking some of my spending cash and heading down on my own this december to play around at the parks and downtown Orlando.
I'm also trying to apply to be a Cast Member in the Canada pavillion so definitely have my fingers crossed for that.

Hope to chat with all of you at some point and become very active on here!
Cheers!

[disneyapeelizzle]

Hey everyone! I'm Kelley and a student at Northern Arizona University as a hotel and restuarant management major.

I'm a CP alumn and current campus rep for my school.

I was hired onto the housekeeping role for Spring Adv 07. Woo! I worked at Disney's Pop Century Resort...I know what you're think...HOUSEKEEPING???

Welllll.....the day I met my housekeeping manager, I spoke to him about my major and expressed interest in learning as much as I could about the hotel roles. We talked and he said he would try to switch me over to front desk. Awesome!

So...I did my 3 months in housekeeping and then switched over to front desk! I was an unofficial resort hopper! LOVED my job as a housekeeper AND front desk!!!

I also love talking about all the fun that went on while there AND if anyone has any questions feel free to PM me...I'm a campus rep and LOVE talking to potential CPs!!!

[drich203]

My name is Rich.

I've studied at the University of Hawaii and now I'm finishing up my last quarter in Graphic Design at The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles, CA.

I was recently accepted into the Disneyland CP in Anaheim and will be working in Attractions. I'm a Southern California native and totally stoked to be waking for the mouse.

[Brose244]

Hi! My name is Nicole and I am waiting for word on my PI application for June 2008. :rotfl:

I working on my Masters in Education (science) at Union Graduate College. I have a B.S. in Animal Science from University of Vermont.

I would LOVE to get this PI at DAK! The waiting is killing me! :idea:

It's nice to meet everyone and good luck to all!!!!!!!

[kandeebunny]

Hi everyone!

I'm Kristi, I go to Granite State College. I am an English Literature major and I graduate in Sept 08! I am waiting to hear back about doing the Fall 08 CP.

I am trying to figure out what I want to go to grad school for, and hoping to get CP to help me decide that. My ultimate goal is to work for Disney in some capacity.

[Justy]

Sooo, my name is Justin, and I'm currently attending California State University at Northridge and attending the CP in Anaheim. I'm working in Adv/Front/Main St. Attractions. Right now I'm trained on Steam Trains and depending on certain other circumstances, I may be training to be a lead on Steam Trains and cross train to Jungle Cruise in the near future.

However, I'm also working on a transfer to the Entertainment Department. I have nothing but love for Attractions but I was born for Entertainment. I need only wait a few more weeks before I can hopefully transfer to Entertainment Host and then maybe even train in Characters too. But hey, fingers crossed eh?

I'm also accepted into the WDW College Program for the Fall. I'm attending my Audition for the Entertainment Department on the 18th in San Francisco. However, my interviewer set it up so that even if I don't pass the audition, I still have the fall back of Character Attendant, then either Attractions or Guest Relations. She said that because I had previous Disney Parks experience that GR was a possibility, especially since I'll technically speaking be an Alum by the time I start in Florida.

Soooooo, that's me in a nutshell. Howdy.

[fall08CP]

I went to highschool in Naperville, ya heard of it?

Another Naperville person?? sweeet!

Hi, my name is Morgan and I go to the University of Arizona. I am currently a junior majoring in Elementary Education with an emphasis on Social Studies.

I am very interested into the CP in Anaheim, so if any of you have any info on the program I'd be more than grateful for it!!!

Email me, or message me anytime!! I also have a myspace, add me on there, if you like, and just message me that you're from the disboards. Thanks!!!

Would love to say i have a favourite ride/attraction but i love them all! :goodvibes

[Belle1014]

I'm Rebecca. I'm 20. I've lived in Alabama my entire life, but I've been told I have almost absolutely NO accent, which is somewhat saddening. I'm finishing up my second year at Judson College, an itsy bitsy all women's college in central Alabama...if you know a girl looking for a college to go to, tell her to check this one out. There's a wonderful history behind the school and the campus is gorgeous. I'm an English major/Journalism minor. I'm hoping to do an international-based journalism within the next few years. So I guess you can tell I'm a writer? I always have been. (I get long-winded often; oy!) I want to move to Britain; I love European culture. I'm Irish, Scottish, English, German, and Native American (Cherokee). I've been to WDW five times and hoping to plan a trip with my boyfriend next summer (I have to buy a car this summer or otherwise we'd do it then). I'm thinking about doing CP in 2010 after I'm finished with school. I have a cousin who was married in WDW in December and another cousin who is an engineer on Expedition Everest. I also have a close friend who did the CP last fall. My favorite character is Belle; I've been told I look like her my entire life and a few friends have even started calling me that.

That's all I can think of. So tired...haha.

[weish]

My name is Wei and I attend the University of Washington in Seattle. I'm graduating in June with a degree in Industrial Design and another in Comparative Religion. YAY!! :D I think you can tell from my majors that I have varied interests.. I'm interested in just about anything and I love learning new things. :) I grew up in a little place called Saratoga, California, about 10 minutes north of San Jose and 45 minutes south of San Francisco.

I accepted a PI position in Merchandise Buying/Product Development and I'll be starting June 23. I'm so excited cause it's exactly what I want to do for my career! :)

[pocopenguin]

hi everyone! my name is nikki and i am 21.. i'm from a small town full of lots of dutch people and tulips in michigan. i am currently anxiously awaiting an interview and then results after applying for fall 08 careerstart.
i love disney. and everything about disney. i cry every time i go to disney.. mostly because i think it's such an amazing place. i also love to see people happy so.. that could have a lot to do with it. let's see.. i went to college for two years and studied education and music. then i decided that at the time, school wasn't for me. i was very unsure of what i wanted to do.. so i've taken this year off. i do hope to go back to pursue a degree. right now i work in retail and have absolutely fallen in L O V E with it. which is why i hope to get into merchandise in the cs program. but it's a little late -- so i'm not sure if that will happen.
two years ago i got accepted into the CP program and i turned it down. i've thought about it every single day for two straight years.. wondering what it would have been like. so hopefully now i can redeem myself and get the experience i should have taken advantage of two years ago. so if any of you are on the fence about it -- do what your instincts tell you to! don't let other people get in your ear and talk you out of it! i love people and would love to talk to any of you! and end rant.

[Ylushi]

Hi my name is Alyssa.
I am from Michigan and attend Lansing Community College. Not really sure what I want to do yet. My major says Interior Design (I never picked it lol) and am working towards a Graphic Design Degree unless I think of something better.
I am hoping to make it into the Fall CP but if I don't, there's always the Spring one ^^

[Loves Disney]

Considering the amount of questions I've been spilling into this forum, I figure why not introduce myself. lol.

I'm Caitlin and I'm 19. I go to Westfield State College in MA where I'm majoring in English with a concentration in Secondary Education. After I graduate, I plan to attend grad school to obtain an MA (Master's degree in the Arts) for English. If I wasn't majoring in English, I'd be majoring in either Art or Music. Literature, Music, and Art truly define my life (with, of course, Disney lol). Speaking of Disney, I am completely excited to apply for the CP for the spring of '09. I've been going to WDW since I was 8 and even though I'm constantly asking questions here on the College Board, I know WDW pretty well. My friends all think I'm obsessed with Disney but honestly, it's not an obsession - it's just a way of life, hehe. On any given day, I am wearing SOMETHING Disney - be it jewelry or clothing.

As far as some of my Disney favorites, my favorite Disney movie is Peter Pan. I love J.M. Barrie's original "Peter Pan" and I absolutely love Disney's remake of such a brilliant piece of work. I love Peter Pan mostly, however, for all it's meaning (which is what I love most about Disney in general). My favorite hotel on WDW property is the Grand Floridian. My family and I stay there when we travel to Disney and I just get that feeling of "home" when we stay there. Not because home is anything as extravagant as the GF, haha, but because we have so many memories there now that it just has that warm cozy feeling attached to it. My favorite park is the MK, naturally, but I also LOVE the Hollywood Studios (I WILL, no doubt, be calling it MGM for the rest of my life, however. lol. I can already tell haha). I love so many WDW attractions for different reasons, but the one you will probably find me at during the day at any given time is at RnRc or the ToT. I am a thrill seeker, without question. My favorite restaurant is V&A. I love a lot of the restaurants at WDW but V&A is amazing.

And also, one last thing about me, I tend to write novels whenever I write anything haha. Sorry for this long post! :upsidedow

[shaunanigans]

I'm Shaun! I'm a sophomore at Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia studying Fibers. :) I love Disney so much you might consider me one of those crazy Disney kids. I just applied for the CP on... Thursday? I did that instead of going to class because I have a cold! I interviewed on Saturday morning and oh my gosh, all I have done for the past few days has been disney related! I applied to work merch, character attendent, and vacation planner. I'd love anything though! My favorite disney movie has to be either Lion King (childhood favorite) or Finding Nemo (current favorite). I am so much like Dory its scary. I hope to one day design textiles for the Disney Consumer Products, but I have no idea how to go about doing that as a career.


So yeah! Thats me. :) Its so wonderful to know I'm not the only crazy Disney fan.

[Nikki Mouse]

Hey there! I'm Nik and I'm from the NW suburbs of Chicago.

I've actually done the WDWCP twice, the first time being especially memorable, but the second time around I really enjoyed my job (Mouse Gear!), so overall I couldn't express enough how much fun I had.

I wasn't planning on going back, but then Disneyland announced this year that they'd opened housing to CP's. I'd recently decided to major in Photography, and I noticed that the DLCP offers Photopass, so I interviewed for the role. The lady I spoke with was the nicest ever, and I was hired in about 15 minutes! Also, I'm a seasoned WDW vacationer yet I've never been to DL, so I'm pretty excited!

PS - Anyone going to be in the new housing? It's nice to make friends/roommates early!

[Bec1217]

Hey! My name is Becca, I'm 21 years old and I am arriving for the CP program on August 25th in Attractions. I'm about to graduate with a dance degree in PA, but I'm originally from MD. I'm so excited to meet everyoneeeee.

[slandwdw]

Another Naperville person?? sweeet!

yay for naperville! where did you go to high school?

[ilysespieces]

I'm Ilyse, 19 years old, from New York (specifically Long Island/NYC).
I go to CUNY Baruch, I transfered from CUNY John Jay, and I'm majoring in Public Affairs (but I'm changing that to a double major in Business Communications and Political Science).
I'd love to get to know people through the boards and facebook before I head down to Florida (leaving on August 20th!).

Also, Snow White is the best Disney anything (princess, movie, etc. She also has the best songs and costume, I should know, I own a Snow White costume after playing her in two shows in High School).

I was a Thespian in High School, Troupe #132, for anyone who was a member of ITS. I love theatre and I love being outrageous.

[Naivemike]

yay for naperville! where did you go to high school?

You can add another person to the Naperville list.

[Naivemike]

Forgot my introduction...haha, anyways. I'm 20 years old from IL. I currently am attending College of Dupage and doing the Fall program in Transportation. I am going for Marketing communications and decided to do the disney college program for a new experience.

I currently work in the music industry and have been on many different music tours. I am looking to settle down for a little bit and thought this would be something fun to do.

[PirateFish989]

Hi! I'm Erin and am a freshman at the University of California, San Diego. I'm a general biology major and am planning on going to dental school after graduating from UCSD and specializing in orthodontics. As is everyone on the boards, I'm a Disney freak and have been to Disneyland a handful of times, but sadly, never been to Disney World. :(

It's nice to know there are so many other Disney maniacs who happen to be college students too!

[tink774]

I've been on the boards for awhile but I haven't posted over here, so I figured I'd introduce myself!

Hey! I'm Anna, 20 years old, and I'm about to transfer to the University of Georgia in Athens for my junior year to finish up my undergrad in History. I finished my core requirements at the university near my hometown while I figured out what it was I wanted to study for certain. I'm hoping to get a master's and maybe even a doctorate and become a history professor. I'd much rather aim to teach at the college level than high school, but time will tell what happens!

I've been raised on all things Disney, so it's hard to pick favorites when it comes to movies. I suppose the tops would be Peter Pan (huge Tink fan!), Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Pinocchio. My favorite Disney characters are definitely Tinkerbell, Dale, and Dopey. The first time I went to Disney World, I was three years old, and I can safely say I've been back more than twenty times since then! My whole family are Disney fanatics and we love to take trips to WDW as often as possible. I'm not sure if the CP is for me, but I'd be interested in working at Disney at some point in my life.

Belle1014, like you, I've lived in the South my whole life, yet I have no accent either!

I'm Blake, the Haphazard Hero. I solve mysteries by pure chance alone! Just kidding.

I love Disney and leaving in a week to work in the college program. I'm 18 and live in Utah. So exciting.

[Decorated_Dust]

Hey all!! I'm Ashley!!

I'm 20 years old and go to Palm Beach Atlantic University, where I'm going to be a senior. I'm a native Floridian, but right now I'm spending the summer in Colorado. I'm majoring in Psychology and minoring in Christain Leadership. I hope to go on to grad school at the University of Tennessee and become a school psychologist.

I have been trained in the love of Mickey Mouse since I left the womb, and have been going to WDW for about as long. I still love it, and that will never change. Even in the awesome place where I am now, I still have a longing to go back to Disney. I'm glad other college students like me are as into it as I am.

Since the CP would seriously mess with my school schedule, I can't do it, which makes me bummed. However, right now I am working at a front desk, so that might be the propeller that gets me into a Disney job. (maybe)

I'm Shaun! I'm a sophomore at Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia studying Fibers. :)

Hi! I'm kinda a lurker just saw this post, I have thought about going to SCAD for costume/fashion design, are you at eh main campus or the ATL one? (just curious, as I live about 2 hours away from ATL and will be there in about 90 days for D*Con!) heh, not only am I a Disney freak, but I am the biggest dork around. ;)

[eimmi07]

My name is Paul and I currently live in Wisconsin. I have never posted in this thread before. I am going to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for accounting. I got accepted to do the WDW College Program for the role of Custidoal. I arrive for check in on Aug. 18. Before that I will be on Vacation at Disneyworld. I will be staying at POP Century Resort from Aug. 9 to the 18 (check-in day). I really hope that I will be able to work at Animal Kingdom (favorite park:goodvibes ) in the Expidition Everest area (favorite ride:worship: ) I don't really know anyone else that is going down to the WDW College Program that is from the Dairy State. I am still looking for a roommate for the program. (look for my post in the Roommates Fall/Fall Advantage thread) Otherwise see some of you down in Disneyworld.

Hey, I'm danny, 19, and I currently reside at Miami, FL. It's not too shabby I suppose, if you can get over the excessive heat. I'm currently a CP hopeful waiting for my disney letter to come in the mail. I'm looking forward to a great experience wherever I stay and hopefully I can gather up parties so I can forget how boring orlando is (besides Disney, of course).

I am amazed to discover that the person who started this topic studied the same subject at the same university as me! (I don't think I know you though Suzi).

Anyhow my name is Ben. I'm from Wales in the UK. I am a music graduate of University of Southampton and I did the International College Program in January of this year. I worked in merchandise at Epcot in the front of the park (Futureworld). My work locations consisted of Club Cool, Pin Central and Art of Disney. I like to think that working in Pin Central has made me a bit of a pin expert haha.

I got back to the UK around three weeks ago and I am back at my old job at the Disney Store. Some might say I have decided on a career with the Walt Disney Company haha. I have been hired for Disney Cruise Line and look forward to joining that at some point in the next couple of months! As a music graduate I'm looking forward to getting involved more with the entertainment segment of the company.

If anyone has any questions (especially international applicants who are a bit worried about living so far from home) I'd love to help you out if I can.

Ben

I'm now a Campus Rep, and I love it. My favorite ride is the Tomorrowland Transit Authority in MK. I'm really not quite sure why....but I do haha

So how's everyone's day thus far? *sips hot cocoa*

I'm Kelli, 19, and I'll be doing Spring Advantage '09 FSF&B.

I'm a sophomore, stubbornly working towards my BA in English Literature with an emphasis in Modern American Lit. I can't wait to get down to Florida for some sunshine and a chance to meet new people!

Welcome! ^_^ I did the SA program, although not QSF. One piece of advice: dont wait til the last minute to do everything, I didn't get to do everything I wanted to do! haha

Ooh, English Lit? That sounds fun. What do you plan on doing once you're done with college?

Haha, I definitely won't wait till the last minute. English is a LOT of work, especially at my school; I generally average 1000+ pages of reading a week. So Disney will be a piece of cake in comparison. At this point I'm planning on becoming an editor, hopefully for a major publishing house like Tor or Random House. I'd love to work in children's/YA fiction or sci-fi/fantasy (which is why I mention Tor; plus their offices are in the Flatiron building, which is just generally awesome). I've wanted to edit since...wow, since fifth grade when I first found out editors existed, but after working at Disney anything could happen.

Hi, everyone, my name's Kevin and I'm currently a freshman at Ohio University's Scripps School of Journalism. I got into journalism mainly to pursue my dream of becoming a travel writer and I would love to work for something that allowed me to visit Disney from time to time. We had an OU alum come to speak to us about a month ago named Dave Herbst, who had graduated in the journalism program and now is a big part of Disney Public Relations... I talked to him about it afterward and am going to possibly try my hand in that field as well, since PR is a part of the journalism major here. ;)
