Hello my name is Megan and i'm 21 years old. I started out going to a CSU but decide at that moment it wasn't for me and I wasn't that happy there, so I transfered to a community college to get my AA. Hey i'm still going to school right!? I love disney, especially pirates (hence the name) and eeyore. My mom's a big disney freak, which is where I get it from, but she's a different story completely. :laughing: I signed up for the Disney College Program, but was unfortunate enough not to even get interviewed. Boy was that a bummer. Anyways, life goes on, i'll get over it. Well that was just a little about me so Hi Everyone!

Hey everybody! I'm Jenn. I'm currently a sophmore at Suffolk University in Boston, studying theater (whoot). I'm told I made my first trip to WDW when I was 2 years old, and I've been lucky enough to go back at least 7 or 8 times - though I've NEVER stayed onsite! :sad2: I've also been to DL once, when my family went to San Diego and I BEGGED my dad to take us to DL - I couldn't believe we were going to be on that side of the country and NOT go there! I'm applying for the college program as a character performer - I auditioned this past Friday and, according to Disney, should be hearing back from them in 11-18 days. I am checking my e-mail MULTIPLE times an hour, I'm going crazyyyyyyy.
So, I decide to venture out here in order to take the Disney edge off. Who needs euphoria when you have Disney? (Did that even make sense?)

I would suggest applying for WDW next time. DLR makes you take a "test" persay that they require of all of their employees to see if they are "disney quality", persay. depending on how you do on the test is the determinant to getting an interview.

I was thinking about that. If I decided to apply again I was thinking about looking into WDW. I think I still have to wait the 6 months though. So I have a little time.

Hey everyone, My name's Randall and I'm 24. I was in the CP in Fall 2006. I worked at the Magic Kingdom in Strollers/Merchandise. It was hectic at first but it turned out to be a great job. My co-workers definitely helped make it all worthwhile. I recently applied for character performer for the Spring 2009 CP and my auditions are on November 14 in TN! I hope all goes well!!!
I don't really know what else to write, I think that about sums it up. Anyway, I look forward to getting to know everyone else. :wizard:

Hiya, I'm Rachel, I'm a junior at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and I finally got my email saying the have my full application, which I am super psyched about. :) (just waiting now) I'm an American Sign Language interpreting major and I really want to do the CP because after you have that, you can do PI interpreting at Disney, and I think that would be fabulous.
Good luck to everyone and keep your fingers:jumping1: crossed for me!

Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I'm a jr BFA acting major (with a minor in tech theatre, with an emphasis in costume design) at Oklahoma City University. I'm from the Bay Area in CA, originally.
I'm heavily involved with theatre, majorly obsessed with Harry Potter, and in love with Disney, yellow ducks (and all animals) and costumes.
Right now I'm counting off the days it's been since my audition (which was last Sunday) in hopes that my letter will get here soon. In some ways, I feel like I don't want to be accepted, because then I will have to make a huge decision as to what to do next semester - if I don't do it, I can graduate in Dec and do it in Spring 2010. If I do take it, I will graduate on time with my class, but will be constantly stressed that I will be able to take everything I'll need in that spring semester... I would so love to be a seasonal character performer this summer, and then do it next spring - it would take a huge load off my back.

Hi! I'm Michelle, 24 from Michigan. Did the college program in Fall 2005, worked as a hostess at the Kona Cafe inside the Polynesian Resort. Best time of my life! Since then I'm become addicted to Disney! I've been back about 6 times since my departure in Jan 2006, I can't get enough! To fill my Disney void, I'm now a campus represenative for the Disney College Program for my school where I spread the word about the amazingness of the program!

Hey guys! Time for introductions, I guess! I'm currently a Uni student majoring in English and minoring in Studio Art. I'm kind of an art fanatic, a devourer of literature, and naturally, a nut for fairy tales and Disney.
My names Ashley! - and I've previously worked for Disney, for an entire YEAR. Oh my goodness... they were some good times. I was a Cultural Representative Participant, so I worked in Epcot, in the World Showcase, representing my country, CANADA! It was amazing of course of course, and I miss the people, the energy, the nutty guests, spieling in front of crowds, the heat, the life, and Orlando/Florida in general! The snow this winter is killing me and sending me into dreaming of the college program! I'll be face-to-face interviewing in the next few months and I can't do enough to occupy myself until then!
I have amazing stories about the belonging and the family that forms from living and working down there (loved living in The Commons!).
This time around I'm hoping to get into Entertainment as it's my favourite facet of the company! The cut backs are a little discouraging, but the pixie dust is still strong in this one, even through all this snow and freeeeezing weather!

Dance is very important to me. Life without my dance family is something I cannot begin to imagine. :dance3:
Disney has a special place in my heart. Beauty and the Beast was my introduction to the theatre. My younger brother (who is autistic) loves watching Mickey Mouse. We have vacationed at WDW twice - 1999 and 2008.

Hey guys, I'm Sarah I am 22 yrs old graduating as a nurse very soon (YAY). I live up in Rhode Island where right now we are having lots of snow which is gross haha...I am a beach girl. I love anything and everything Disney, I've visited the parks 50+ times over the yrs and just returned from my 3rd Disney Cruise last week. Last May I was able to do a trip with Adventures by Disney out to the South West and it was amazing, going with the guides and getting to hike down a part of the Grand Canyon and also getting to see delicate arch out in Moab, Utah...really cool stuff you don't get to see everyday. The guides are great and make alot of things possible for you. I just recently joined up with the DISBoards so this is my first posting. Great to read some of your stories!!

Sounds awesome!! I too worked for Disney-- in the Summer of 2006 under the Disney College Program! Your apartment was across from mine( I was in Chatham--across from the Commons!) and I worked right next to Canada in Epcot for a good part of my program--in the Outdoor Food --the Refreshment Port!:) it was awesome!!!

Hi! I'm Michael. I'm currently a freshman at Purdue University in boring old Indiana! I'm a Creative Writing major and totally should have been a music major like my band director wanted, but for some reason was dumb and didn't go to a school that had music degrees (Purdue doesn't). Yep, Creative Writing...if that sounds weird to you, ask me how many people are taken back when I say that as my major lol!
I'm in love with Disney and have been since I was young--there's just something about it that makes me want my childhood back! Going to the parks was the best when I was little--I also went my freshman year in High School (magical) and my spring break last year (magical too)!
Hopefully I'll meet some other awesome college people here to associate with! I love making friends!
BOILER UP!

Hey all! My name is Laura I am a four year at the University of Cincinnati studying Political Science minoring in History and getting two certificates in Middle Eastern Studies and Arabic Language and Culture.
I am super excited about the CP I applied for spring 09 and got it but couldn't do it because of classes and graduating and stuff which is a bummer. But I am applying again for Fall 09 so keep your fingers crossed.
Also I go to a school that is on quarters which makes me an odd duck I think. Any other quarter schoolers here?

I go to the University of Cincinnati (Go Bearcats!) but I'm actually from Kentucky (and will claim Kentucky!). I hope to do the Spring Advantage Quarter in 2010! I've been going to Disney since I was 6 or 7 and I've been 5 times since and once to Disneyland (last year). It's Disneyland's fault that I'm obsessed with Disney as much as I am (though I've always loved WDW)!

Hi, I'm not sure if I should be posting here or the teen forum so I'm doing both!
Anyway, my name is Koren and I'm 18. I live in Louisville, KY. I'll be starting at Indiana University: Southeast this summer with hopes to transfer to IU Bloomington next year and then the Disney College Program at some point, along with doing a year abroad in Japan. I'm not sure what I'll be majoring, but I am getting a minor in Piano.
In my spare time I love to write (mainly short stories), and draw a little. I'm a huge anime fan (which is Japanese cartoons), and I love going to cons! My favorite Disney characters have to be Chip and Dale! They're adorable! =) I've always loved Disney and now have strong ambitions to work for the company once I have my master in either Business or Law. =)
It's nice to meet you guys!

Heyy! My name is Ricky, i'm an AP holder, and I live about 10 min from DL so I'm there constantly. I'm majoring in English, but a filmmaker first and foremost. Though I'm only 18, I have 5 years experience in visual effects and motion graphics, and I love it! I also love Star Wars, playing the piano, and speedcubing. I used to live in Maryland, and so every year we'd drive down to WDW (15 hour drives are great as a kid). Since moving to California with my family, I have been to DL many times, and am considering doing the CP. Cool.

Hello there,
I'm Robert and I'm an electronic media major at UT El Paso. I'm a filmmaker too, and I've also done Star Wars vids. Btw, Ricky Calrissian, your vids are awesome! Too bad you're doing Disneyland, because I'm applying for WDW, and we should meet up! But anyway, right now I'm directing a movie about Viking mercenaries, and then hopefully I'll be off to WDW for fall 2009!!!! I've always had a special spot for Disney. As a kid, I once tried turning my room into the Haunted Mansion. I got my grandma to be the ghost bride lol! I did the Pirates once too. I've been to Disneyland lots of times, but never WDW, so hopefully I'll make my first visit in the fall!

Those are good questions... can I get back to you on that? I also work full-time at an electronics store. Did the CP back in Fall 07. Didn't go well, which I was pretty heartbroken about... long story. Maybe I'll give round 2 a go in the near future.

My name is Mandy. I'm a sophomore at Jackson Community College, and in the process of earning my Associate in Arts.
Dance is very important to me. Life without my dance family is something I cannot begin to imagine. :dance3:
Disney has a special place in my heart. Beauty and the Beast was my introduction to the theatre. My younger brother (who is autistic) loves watching Mickey Mouse. We have vacationed at WDW twice - 1999 and 2008.
Fall 2009 College Program hopeful. princess:
Hi Mandy! What are you getting an AA in? Have you received your letter yet? This is my first thread, so maybe you posted it somewhere else but I wanted to say hello hello! :)
Hey all! My name is Laura I am a four year at the University of Cincinnati studying Political Science minoring in History and getting two certificates in Middle Eastern Studies and Arabic Language and Culture.
I am super excited about the CP I applied for spring 09 and got it but couldn't do it because of classes and graduating and stuff which is a bummer. But I am applying again for Fall 09 so keep your fingers crossed.
Also I go to a school that is on quarters which makes me an odd duck I think. Any other quarter schoolers here?
Hi Laura. I have been lurking here and seen quite a bit from you. Political Science is an awesome major, where do you practice learning that language? As a language student myself I know how difficult it is! Way to go!
Hey everyone! My name is Victoria and I'm in my sophomore year at Wayne State University. My major is graphic design. I am (of course) a huge Disney fan, though I've never been to WDW or DL :sad: . I am, however, a Fall 09 CP hopeful :D
Hi Victoria, any news yet?

Hi, everyone, I'm Danielle! I'm 20, live in NYC and go to college here. I've applied for Fall Advantage '09 of the CP.
Hello, just wanting to check in with everyone on this board...have you heard anything yet? Where do you go to school in NYC? That sounds amazing!
Hi, my name is Joseph and I'm from Puerto Rico. I'm 22 years old and I'm Majoring on Computer Science at the Inter American University of Puerto Rico. I'll be doing the CP for Fall 2009 on the role of Attractions. Hope to meet you there.
Hi Joseph, nice to meet you. How is the weather in PR? What is your arrival date?
Hey everyone! I'm Dan and i attend Suffolk University in Boston Ma. I am a political science major who loves every aspect of the disney parks and films. My next trip to the world will be March 19th for a Leadership Spring Break (its free!), and i will be making my first solo trip (with my girlfriend) in August 2009!
Hi Dan, it's great to meet you. I hope you have fun next week ! :)
Hello there,
I'm Robert and I'm an electronic media major at UT El Paso. I'm a filmmaker too, and I've also done Star Wars vids. Btw, Ricky Calrissian, your vids are awesome! Too bad you're doing Disneyland, because I'm applying for WDW, and we should meet up! But anyway, right now I'm directing a movie about Viking mercenaries, and then hopefully I'll be off to WDW for fall 2009!!!! I've always had a special spot for Disney. As a kid, I once tried turning my room into the Haunted Mansion. I got my grandma to be the ghost bride lol! I did the Pirates once too. I've been to Disneyland lots of times, but never WDW, so hopefully I'll make my first visit in the fall!
Robert, I am a film editor right now, just with school. Trying to learn my way around FCP on Mac. We'll have to hook up in Disney and do some film stuff, Ricky's stuff IS awesome.
Hi everyone! I'm Courtney... 20 years old (almost 21!). I'm from Michigan and am currently going to University of Michigan - Dearborn, but am hoping to transfer soon. Where to? What major? Those are good questions... can I get back to you on that? I also work full-time at an electronics store. Did the CP back in Fall 07. Didn't go well, which I was pretty heartbroken about... long story. Maybe I'll give round 2 a go in the near future.
Courtney, have you thought about fall? We'd love to have you!
Well since I've been lurking and reading all the posts on these boards I figured I'd introduce myself finally! lol.
My name is Jordyn
I'm 18 yrs old, 19 on April 12 ((which is Easter this yr ugh))
Disney princess fanatic. seriously my entire bathroom is painted and detailed in Disney princesses. My favs are Jasmine and Pocahantas, gotta rep the brown girls haha.
I've been a hostess for 3 yrs now and currently I'm a host trainer at P.F. Chang's. I love working in restaurants which is why I hope for getting the FSFB role for the fall 09 CP :upsidedow
Hi girl...congrats on the FSFB. I bet you are anxious to find out where it is going to be...Hope to be chatting with you.

Hey everyone! I'm Melissa :goodvibes I'm 21 and I actually did the College Program at DLR in 2007. It was such an amazing experience! Now I'm going to school full time to get my BS in Psychology and then from there med school! I love Disneyland, it's definitely like my 2nd home. Being in the College Program I spent soooooo much time there, working and playing in the park! I haven't been there since the college program though! I'm planning on going sometime this year hopefully. I've been to WDW twice with my family. That was incredible! I would love, love, love to go there again! When I get out of school (& can afford it haha!) I fully intend on having houses on both coasts so I can visit both parks as much as possible!! Anyhoo, just thought I'd say Hello! :thumbsup2

I applied for FSFB as well, and I am hoping for the same thing. But, I have no clue where we might be placed! I know things like Planet Hollywood or even maybe Rainforest Cafe aren't ran by Disney :( so it wouldn't be there. I've searched the internet high and low for a list of restuarants CPs end up working at, but nothing specific has been found! I tried to use the official WDW site and read up on all their restaurants, but I really couldn't tell the difference :( Let me know if you find anything like that, it woud be super interesting to get a list of all the possible places you could be :)
Talk to you soon girl!

Hi everyone! My name is Jarvis. I'm 22 years old (I turn 23 next month). I'm currently a senior at Southern Miss, which I'm graduating from in 2 months. I loved Disney World since I first went when I was around 7. I did the college program during the Spring 2007 semester which I had mixed feelings about but I still love disney. I'm hoping to book my first solo trip sometime during the 2010 year. I look forward to talking to everyone!

Hi, I'm Kelly, I am 19 and I have applied and interviewed for the Fall 2009 college program and am now anxiously awaiting the Mouse's decision! I will be turning 20 while on the program. December 20th to be exact! I have wanted to work for Disney ever since I was a little kid and the day I found out about the college program I decided that I HAD to do this. I have been to the parks 10 times, taking my first trip back when I was two and this is just a huge dream for me!:earsboy:

ME TOO!!! I simply can't decide.. I am very out going and like meeting new people and being around people so I think I would like Vista more, but then I think I like the newness(?) of Chatham. I did the roommate matching thingy and have talked to the girl I'm rooming with and she doesn't really care either. I was actually just looking at peoples youtube videos of their apartments tours and it made my decision even harder. What are your thoughts on the two??

HI ALL! My name is Jessica. I am 21 and an English Education major at Utah State University :D Go Aggies! ha ha ha! Anyways, I might be minoring in History but maybe even dual majoring instead. I don't know. I applied for the Fall 09 cp and I am hoping with everything in me that I get in. Right now though I have mixed feelings as to whether I will make it in or not...But I think everything has gone well so far. *shrugs* My hometown is American Fork and before attending Utah State I went to Snow college where I received my associates(it's a very small school, but has a special place in my heart). Uh...what else...I love Disney, obviously, and my favorite characters would have to be Stitch and Tinkerbell XD I even have a Tinkerbell bed set here at school! ha ha ha! uh...that's all for now, but feel free to ask ANY questions your want, I'm an open book.

I am a nerd and I love video games and computers so FYI my laptop, xbox, desktop, probably a lot of wires, and video games will be coming with me. I also enjoy decorating, (i wish they'd let us paint...I'm feeling bright purple walls...yes lmao).

I couldn't even tell you the amount of times that I have been there, it's well over 80. I go to Hofstra University in New York, about 30 minutes away from Penn Station. I am a Theatre Performance major with three minors (English, Public Relations, and Musical Theatre). I'm bringing my car with me too so that should be fun!

I've been to Disney World more times than I can count, and Fall of 2009 will be my second term as a Disney CP. The first time I was in Merch at the Magic Kingdom (Fantasyland). This time I was lucky enough to get Attractions (not that I didn't love Merchandise, but Attr. was my first choice!). I'm so excited to be going back, and I hope that everyone loves it as much as I did/will.

Bringing your car is a good idea. I'm sure someone's posted on here somewhere about how silly the bus systems were at times. They're great if you don't have a car. But since you do, bringing it would be a really good idea.

Hi!! I'm Rebekah I'm 19 and I currently go to Syracuse University! I'm double majoring, for now, in International Relations and Anthropology with an emphasis on the studies of Indigenous people.
I've only been to Walt Disney World twice! Boooo! My first time was when I was 7 and NOBODY was at the parks it was ridiculously magical, I literally went on Splash Mountain at least 5 times!!! July of last year my parents graduation present to me was a one week stay at Port Orleans! I had such a fantastic time!
My brother recently accepted a position to be an Imagineer specifically at MGM STudios, he's only 21! So now my family is pretty much Disney-fied hahahaha and it's my turn to augment this by doing the CP program this Fall. I cannot wait to go and hope to meet all of you guys down there!!!!!

My brother recently accepted a position to be an Imagineer specifically at MGM STudios, he's only 21! So now my family is pretty much Disney-fied hahahaha and it's my turn to augment this by doing the CP program this Fall. I cannot wait to go and hope to meet all of you guys down there!!!!!
Wow. Congratulations to you AND your brother.

Hey Everyone.
I'm John Tereska, and I'm from Hampton Roads, Virginia! I go to George Mason University in Northern Virginia.
I haven't heard back from the College Program people. They sent me a letter saying they needed more time to decide on my application. I just thought I would get on here and see how other people are holding up in the application process!
Feel free to find me on Facebook or chat me over here! :goodvibes

I got a white envelope in my mailbox the other day and freaked out. Upon opening the stupid thing, I found out it was the letter saying they needed more time to decide on my application status.
I freaked out. And hope that never happens again. Way to tease people, Walt!

SURPRISE! They're making you head of the Disney Company. They just couldn't tell you in the letter?
I'll keep my fingers crossed, but I'm sure there's no need. What roles did you put down?

Haha. I wish I was being made the head of the company!
I put down a lot. I remember lifeguard, merchandise, character attendant, hospitality, resort something or another, and I said yes to QSFB. My top three are character attendant, lifeguard and then merchandise. But I'm really happy with anything.
Have you been accepted then?:3dglasses

I have been. This will be my second time working for the Big Cheese. I got attractions this time, which is what I wanted last time as well. But I, too, would have been happy with anything. It's the experience, yanno.

Amanda_the_awesome
03-30-2009, 11:11 PM
hello I don't know anyone yet so I figure why not introduce my self.
My name is Amanda and I'm in love with most things Disney. Ok well all things that are classic Disney none of this Jonas brothers and high school musical and Hanna Montana crap. Sorry to anyone that likes anything listed its just not my thing. Well back to the actual point. I am hoping to get in Cp for Spring 2010. I would love to get the chance to be a character performer. It has been my dream since I was a very young child. If I don't get that ( very likely that I won't:sad2:) I would love to work the attractions that involve a lot of interaction with the guests such as a Jungle Cruise skipper or the person that takes you though the great movie ride. My other two choices for attractions would be the Haunted Mansion and Tower of Terror ( being scary is fun lol) and of course knowing me I have one attraction that is totally random I would love to be the person that sits over top of the loading platform of It's a Small World and waves to all the people.
If I would not get anything that was listed above I would like to be a character attendant, work in merchandise, or do any type of food service I would hope for table service so I could talk to the guests. If you haven't figured it out yet I really do enjoy talking to people a lot:rotfl:. I have been to Disney world I would say about 35 times and I'm only 20. My family is in love with the place and so am I:goodvibes. I am from the Pittsburgh area of PA and my major is secondary education in social studies. Thats about all for me.
Hope I get to know you all better.:cool1:

Hi, my name is Ethan. I post on IOAcentral alot under the same user name, and over at HHNVault under a similar name (not sure if anyone here knows what the vault it, but thought i'd mention it anyways.)
Anyways, I just got accepted into the Disney College Program for Fall Attractgions 09', and I thought maybe I could meet some other people on here doing the same program so I don't have to be a total loner the first few days.:confused3
Also, I failed to mention i'm a HUGE Universal Studios fan, and will be buying an annual pass whenever I get to Orlando. I'm not much on partying, so I'm planning on spending a lot of time at theme parks in my free time.

Britt, I dont know what the hec Im thinking! Lets put it this way--I will keep hoping and keep my fingers crossed that you DO get in. Think positive! When was it that you applied again?!!! Whatever you do, dont lose hope. Tashiana and I were losing hope-- yesterday we actually said at one point that it wasnt gonna happen-- then when she called me so early this morning to tell me the news I was soooo excited! Thats why-- be patient, because it was 6 weeks and a few days before she got an answer. I will wish the best of luck for you-- and like Kelly did for Tashi -- Im sending you a boatload of pixie dust!: :wizard::wizard:

Well, I know I've introduced myself on this thread before, but that was way back in 2005, and I'm pretty sure nobody is reading through all 45 pages so ... here's a re-introduction.
I'm Eric, alumnus of Syracuse University, and fan-since-birth of the University of Michigan Wolverines. I did the CP back in 2004 (AK Main Entrance Ops), then went part time (AK Main Entrance Ops) until I heard from casting about a full time position (AK Kilimanjaro Safari). Drove around in circles and also learned how to drive a train around in circles for about a year and a half, then I moved to the then Disney-MGM Studios, where I watched things drive around in circles for about a year and a half, then I transferred again, and I'm now in the Magic Kingdom, where I can push a button and everyone on the ride spins in circles.
Along the way, I've met some great people, and gotten to take part in some really cool experiences. I've picked up way too much random Disney trivia, and am perfectly willing to share it (Ask anyone who's had a conversation with me for more than 3 minutes ... right Joanna?)
Hobbies include hockey (ice, please), photography, scuba diving, and music. Oh yeah, and theme parks.

Hey every one... I'm Lauren... 20 years old and currently going to Arizona State University. I am completely obsessed with Disney and I am planning on applying for the Spring 2010 college program in California. Just wanted to say hi :)

Wow, I can't believe I haven't introduced myself yet!
My name is Jenn (Or Jenny/Jennifer -- I get called all 3 on a daily basis.) and I'm a freshman at University of Arkansas. I'm majoring in Psychology and (will be) minoring in Sociology. I hope to be a social worker for DCFS, or a child abuse investigator for the police.
Now, the good stuff, I have been obsessed with Disney ever since I can remember. My mom grew up right near Anaheim, and went to DLR practically ever weekend. My first trip to a Disney park was at a mere 18 months old to Disneyland. Apparently, I loved it!
Fast forward to 2000, which was my very first trip to WDW. I got the 'planning' bug then and have been a crazy trip planner ever since. Since then I've been on 5 more trips to WDW, most lasting over 10 days.
My most recent trip was this last December with just my mom. It was so amazing, and I'll cherish the memory of Christmas at Disney forever. The Osbourne Spectacle of Dancing Lights!? HOLY CRAP are those stunning and spectacular! (Also a plus, Osbourne started his lights in the city that I live in! My mom remembers driving by his house at Christmastime!)
Anywho, I adore Disney. I have over 20 Disney t-shirts, I swear. Lots of magnets, post cards, plushies, etc.
I think I started wanting to do the DCP back in 8th grade. I mean, come on! You get to live, work, and play at Disney for 4-7 months? I'm in! I will be applying for Fall Advantage 2010, and I have a huge role list I plan to check. My top 3 are definitely -- Hospitality/Concierge, Attractions, and Vacation Planner.
What am I most looking forward to? Definitely, definitely meeting all the new people. I know it sounds cliche, but I'm not going away for college, so this is going to be a great chance meet people from other sides of the US (and World).
I love to have fun! I'm not talking about wild parties necassarily, just go out with friends and have a good time. Lots of stuff can be included in this, like movie nights! Love movie nights.
Wow, I wrote an essay here. Well, now you know me! :)

Hello there everyone! I'm Katie, I'm 21 and I'm from Niagara Falls, NY. I just got my first degree in Health and Human Services, and I start grad school in the fall to become a Physical Therapist.
I'm so jealous of all of you that are doing the Disney College Program. I ALWAYS wanted to, but with my major it never really worked out. I guess I'll just have to vacation there lots more to make up for it!
Nice meeting you all :wave:

Hi everyone!
My name is Katie and I am currently a junior at Daemen College in Buffalo NY. I am 21 (almost 22) and my boyfriend and I are both hoping to do the CP in the fall.
I am a BS in Art major and will have minors in Graphic Design, Literature, and Business.
I have always loved all things Disney but it really became an obsession back in 2006 when Patrick's family took me for Thanksgiving. It was magical.
I didn't think that the CP would ever be a possibility for me because of my major (former Graphic Design, has a ton of sequential requirements) but now that I've switched, I'm really hoping that I get in. Patrick graduates in a couple of weeks, so this is his only shot.
My goal is to one day move to FLA (hate snow/Buffalo winters!) and work for the Mouse full time, though I have no idea what I really want to do :lmao:
Any questions feel free to pm me!
~Katie

Hello everyone, my name is Courtney and I am 22 years old (almost 23 in 2 weeks and 5 days). I am working full time as a Claims Assistant in Worker's Compensation insurance, and I am also attending VC full time at night, well 3/4 full time. lol. I am going to school to become an RN, probably a trauma nurse to be exact. I also attend church every Friday and mostly some Sundays. I love the church that I am involved in!
I would like to someday take the Disney Cruise to the Carribean or somewhere. But, I am terrified of big boats! But I think I can get over my fear for that kind of trip! lol.
I love to travel when I can, which is not that often. I would like to someday back pack through Europe! That would be an ultimate dream of mine. I would like to spend at least 2 weeks in Italy! Ah, the dreams! lol!

Hey guys, I'm Maggie. I'm a 23 year old Eastern Kentucky University. My major is Comparative Humanities with an emphasis in Art History. I GRADUATE IN A WEEK! Yaaaaay!
I'm a Disney nerd who fell in love with a Disney nerd. ^_^ My husband and I had a Disney wedding over the summer! We're way excited about participating in the Fall '09 CP...and of course annihilating each others high scores in Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin.
My dream is to eventually work at one of the two Art of Disney locations, so I'll be going crazy with all the networking stuff once we get down to Florida. ^_^
I'm new to the DIS and excited to meet other Disney fans. So PM me...we'll talk about how utterly fabulous Mister Smee is. Haha.

Courtney,
Great to meet you! Italy is amazing. The water is so clean in Rome, you can fill your water bottle from the fountains! Be sure to check out the glassblowing demonstrations in Florence and take a boat out to Capri, which could be the most awesome place on earth. ^_^

I was going to do a character performer and do the audition, but my interviewer told me it would decrease my chances of getting in >.> so I decided against it. C'est la vie!!

Well hello there! I'm Abby, I'm 18 and just about to start college in the fall. I'll be attending Kalamazoo College, right next door to Western Michigan University, where I'll double major in Art/Art History and English with a concentration in Media Studies.
I'm a CP hopeful - maybe Fall 2010. I'd love to be a character performer, especially face, but we'll see how that goes. I'm also interested in the new concierge role, attractions, photopass, and fsfb.
Eventually I'd like to be an Imagineer. If that doesn't work, I'd like to do museum/gallery work or work in advertising.

Hey Im lindsay, im 22, and a senior at Buffalo State College. I did my 1st college program back for the fall advantage program 2008. I had the best time of my life and now I am applying for the Spring 2010 program in attractions. I really want to work Jungle Cruise. anyone else applying for spring?

So I'm pretty sure I introduced myself when I did my first CP, but I doubt anyone is looking that far back (heck, I don't even want to look that far back to see if I did) so I'm just going to reintroduce myself.
I'm Fallon :). My first CP was for Fall 2007, but I ended up having to leave after about a month due to a knee injury. But since then, I've been dying to go back, and applied for Fall 2008, Spring 2009, and Fall 2009. It took 3 semesters and a knee surgery to get my butt back in the program, and I am determined to make it work. I'm majoring in Hospitality, and plan on working full time after I get my degree at WDW. I currently go to Broward College, and will be going to UCF eventually. I arrive August 19th.
I also work for an awesome website called castmember.com and I recommend everyone to sign up and join. It's a free and fairly new website for past, current, and future CMs and a great way to meet people and everything. I actually met my roommate on there, which was wicked awesome.
Ok shameless plug over lol. I hope to meet up with all of you, feel free to PM me or message me on Facebook (look up Fallon C.L. Adamo, I'm the only one), just tell me who you are and everything :).
I'm going to close with a little wisdom for future and current CPs. Do everything in your power to not get termed and don't quit unless you have a REALLY good reason. I mean I quit because I couldn't even walk, and it still was extremely hard to get back in. And Disney owns so many companies, it might damper your job searches in the future even if you aren't planning to stay with Disney now. I wasn't my first CP, I was going to be a teacher, but look at me now.
Ok now I'm done :)

Hey! I'm a Communications major, and I can't wait to apply for Spring 2010!!!! I found out about this program last year but dropped the idea for some reason. I think I just decided that I would wait and go after graduation. But I don't wanna wait now!
I know I'll check off merchandising, FSFB, and attractions, and probably a lot more. I don't remember all of the roles off the top of my head, but I remember reading a lot of them and being really interested. I'll tell them I'm willing to do QSFB as well, if they ask. Don't they get paid a little more and get tons of opportunity for more hours anyway? Money's not my concern- but I do think that would leave me making more than I do now! That would always be a good thing to tell my parents ;)
I'm excited about doing some of the classes too! I might ask some questions about that or if anyone has any stories they want to share, that would be great! Classes isn't something I've been hearing a lot about when I look at forums, blogs, and Vlogs.
It's nice to get to know all of you! I've been looking at these boards for awhile and found myself wanting to reply and realizing, I haven't signed up yet! So I finally joined :D

Hi
I'm Kelly, 19, and I attend the Univ of Alaska-Fairbanks. I am majoring in Ecology/Biology.
My home is in Homer, Alaska, and although my hometown and my college town are both in Alaska, the weather is much different in Fairbanks than in Homer! Not that I wasn't aware of that before but I hadn't spent an entire winter season up in Fairbanks until going to the university.
During the summer months I work on a charter fishing boat and I also drive a water taxi for one of the local water taxi companies.
I've been to WDW and DL several times ... with family & friends.
I'll post a picture when I get a chance!
hmmmmm ... upon reading more postings on this college board, it appears that it's basically for those individuals who have attended or will be attending the CP at Disney ... I was under the impression that it was a general college themed board. Whoops!
Guess I'm in the wrong place!

Hello all! My name is Katie. I am 22 years old and I live in Racine, WI which is just about 30 minutes away from Milwaukee. I am a theater education major and will be graduating this May. I am planning on doing the Fall Advantage 2010 program, so I would be moving to Florida right after I graduate.
I hope to get a role in Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, Attractions or Merchandise. The attractions that I would LOVE to work at would be easily The Haunted Mansion or The Great Movie Ride. I love Disney and Disney World especially and am hoping that I am able to work for such a great company next year.

I travel to Walt Disney World every few years for a vacation and keep finding it harder and harder to leave. My girlfriend Sarah was part of the college program in fall 08 so i wnet down with her and worked with a disney partner. It was great but for spring 2010 we are hoping to do the college program together. She had her interview this morning and they make it sound like she was in. Now all I can do is hope that my interview tomorrow morning goes just as well. WISH ME LUCK!

I'm 19 & live in South NJ & work as a ride operator at a small local park called Clementon Park. I just applied for the Spring 2010 CP & had my phone interview last night & thought it went really well! If I got accepted I think I got into merchandise:) Im a freshman at Camden County College & am studying basic engineering, however I want to switch to film & production if I get in the CP because I want to work for Disney & Pixar Inc. My favorite Disney park is EPCOT. My favorite Disney attraction is Tower of Terror but between DL & WDW it is California Screamin'. My favorite Disney movie is Toy Story along with Finding Nemo. I luckily got to visit WDW & DL this summer & might go to EPCOT again in October! I belong to many online sites so I'll be posting every now & then mostly about the CP.

Like everyone else, I'd love to work Entertainment but I also have my eye on Attractions or Costuming.
Anyway, I'm a History major and a Non-Profit Leadership minor. I also manage my school's student radio station and host a local music-mostly show! I like to bake, sew, and I attend circus school in my spare time. Nice to meet you all!

You probably already know this, but there's a great film school in Orlando called Full Sail University. My DS just graduated from there in June. :)

Hello ^_^
My name is Kathryn, 18, and I am currently a freshman at the University of Houston, but next year, I wish to transfer to University of Texas at Austin. I am a Graphic Communications major at UH and hopefully I can get into the Design school at UT in the future. For my graduate study, I hope to go to the Academy of Art in San Francisco. My dream is to become an illustrator for Disney :].The Disney College Program looks like a great opportunity to learn about what Disney offers, to meet people who have the same interests, and to work hard and efficiently :].
How I found out about this program? My school job website when I was looking for a job on campus (to support myself and to start collecting money for art school).
I am anticipating the presentation in the next couple of weeks! This seems like a job come true

Hey, my name is Conor, I'm 21 and I'm from Camden County in southern New Jersey. I am a junior at Rowan University in Glassboro studying Environmental Studies. I've been lurking around boards like these for years since I first started to consider the CP in my senior year of high school, but it wasn't until this fall that I could find the time in my class schedule to fit it in! I've been working at Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ for eight years, I'm currently a senior Guest Relations supervisor committed to providing our Guests with Memories Worth Repeating! (We like to call ourselves Disney Lite.) I interviewed on August 26 and got accepted on Tuesday, September 8 for Transportation in the Spring season - now all that anticipation for the purple folder has become anticipation for check-in! My favorite park is Epcot, my favorite attraction is Toy Story Mania, and my favorite restaurant is Tutto Italia at the Italy Pavilion. If the right opportunity comes, I might consider staying with the Company and moving the Florida after the program ends, but we'll see... It's a pleasure to meet you all in advance! :thumbsup2

Hello there everyone! My name's Lynnette and even though I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, I currently reside in South FL and am currently enrolled @ the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale for Graphic Design.
As much as I love art and design, I am in the process of switching programs of study and colleges. In 2010, I will be enrolled at Broward College for Pre-Optometry and once I graduate, enroll at Nova Southeastern Univ. for my Doctorate degree so I can become a certified optician :goodvibes.
Regarding the Disney CP, I'm still on-the-fence about it as on one hand I do wanna have that experience and this might sound dorky but I want it to be some generation thing as my mother was enrolled in it back in '84 and if I go through with it, I want my kids to go with it as well :lmao: and my 2 cousins also had the experience and they really miss it! I guess it's all a matter of where my life will be but it would be a cool thing to experience, especially since I LOVE Disney.
Besides that, I live with 2 former classmates of mine (one is graduating, the other one in the same process as me regarding switching schools) and also with 2 precious cats :lovestruc ; I also love to do creative stuff, whether it'd be DIY sewing crafts or photo-manipulation collages, just anything that sparks my interest I will do =D. I guess that's it for me now lol *PHEW* BYE!

Hey there!
I am brand new to the boards. My name is Ashley, as you might have guessed. I'm a senior in college in NYC. I'm a theatre production and management major and plan on being a stage manager.
Of course, I adore all things Disney and three friends and I are leaving for our trip in two weeks!
As for the CP, I have always wanted to do it. I might apply for Fall 2010 after I graduate. I'll have to see how the options are then.

I am new to all this Disney stuff, although I have always loved growing up and watching Disney movies. I have only been to Walt Disney World once in my life and I stayed at the French Quarters in Port Orleans. I had such a great time. I want to go back again. I am 18 years old and live in Newfoundland which is light years away from Walt Disney World. I also just started the Physical Therapy Program at college. this month. I love playing guitar, listen to the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Jefferson Airplane, The Byrds and other Folk/Psychodelic 60's bands. I also like watching hockey.

Hello all fellow addicts :) I'm Brittany, 21, studying Hospital Administration and Non-Profit management at the University of Central Florida. I am a huge disney fanatic! Fortunately I only live about an hour away from Disney, so I let's just say I have been more times than I can count. I am also a firm believer that anything can happen at Disney because I met my future hubby at Pleasure Island in 2006. So sad to see the clubs closing down!

Hey all
My name is Skylar, and I'm currently going to a community college here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I applied for the WDW Spring 2010 program, but have yet to hear back. *fingers crossed*
I'm a bit of a nerd. I love video games, graphic novels, and science fiction. I will read basically anything. It goes without saying that I'm a Disney fan.
Hopefully I'll be seeing some of you down there :)

Hi y'all! I'm Chloe, and I'm 21 and from Seattle. I was a theater major until I did the CP (FQA 2008 or Spring 2009, anyone?) and decided to switch to hospitality. I'm planning to work for the mouse for as long as I can. :) Next i'm gonna do Fall or FQA 2010, and I can't wait to be back! Other than that, I've been working at a zoo here in Seattle on and off for the last 6 years, and I love reading, kayaking, and messing around in Photoshop. Nice to meet all of you!

I've always wanted to visit Seattle.. do you like it there? It's kind of hard to be subjective about it, i've lived here all my life, lol. I like it. It does rain all the time, of course, but there's lots of stuff to do. Come visit!
