Hi there!

My name is Janell and I'm 21. I'm a recreation management major and am either going to be doing the Spring 2010 or Fall 2010 CP. Hopefully I pass my audition and go in the spring. :love:

I've been a huge fan of Disney growing up and was raised on Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. :thumbsup2

Right now I'm working at a recreation center as an assistant aqautic director and have loved it as a part time job during school. Before I get too involved in that career line, I've decided to give it a shot and try for my dream career- working for Disney Parks. :yay:

Hi All :)

My name is Briana and I am 21. I live in Tampa, Florida and absolutely ADORE Disney. I am currently a French major and dance minor. I've recently just learned about the CP and super excited about the possibilities. Being a Disney Princess would be an absolute dream!

Hi all,

My name is Mary. I am 24 and recently began the journey towards my Master's in Higher & Postsecondary Education at Arizona State University. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2007 with a degree in Recreation, Sport, and Tourism and Business Administration. In Spring of 2006 I did the College Program as a Resort Hopper where I worked at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. In that role I did both housekeeping and front desk. Lived at Vista Way and met my best friend to this day there.

Was a campus representative for my senior year of college. In May of 2008 I moved back to Orlando and worked as a full-time CM in Attractions (not because I didn't like hospitality, but because I wanted to see what the parks would be like). I got placed in Dinoland where I started working at Dinosaur. I then cross-trained for Finding Nemo: The Musical and the Boneyard as well as DinoRama (yep, I got to wear the neon green pants with Dinosaurs on them and yes, people do ask us if they can buy them). About 4 months after starting in Dinoland and I became a trainer at Dinosaur, which I loved.

At times I have a love/hate relationship with Disney, but when I applied all I wanted was for someone to take off the pretty pictures and tell me what it was really like. I still talk to my Disney friends weekly, am always planning my next trip, and will do my best to give an unbiased opinion of the program, since I find it is often hard to find.

Howdy! My name's Molly. I'm from New Jersey but currently attending university on Long Island, in New York. I'm a freshman. :')

My major is still undecided... but as of late I am leaning towards marketing. Mumsy wants me to be a lawyer, doctor, speech therapist.... but I keep gravitating towards something a little more exciting!

We went to Disney World for my senior trip for high school. It was my fourth or fifth time going to WDW and something just clicked and I really just fell in love. It was really one of the best experiences of my life and since then I have been determined to at least work there once. Which is why I am really trying to convince my parents to let me take the college program.

My dream was always to be a Disney princess (duhhh!) but I'm too short. I would love to be a face character. I love making children smile. :)

In addition to Disney, I love Sailormoon. ;)

Hi! My name is Annie. I am a freshman at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. I'm a major in Business Management. In my spare time I dance, do pageants (but I'm NOT a girly girl) or play soccer. My entire family is Disney obsessed. I want to go there on my honeymoon, and since my boyfriend and I are unofficially engaged, it might not be that far off!

I'm looking to do CP either Spring 2011 or later. I'd love, of course, to be a performer, but I'd really be happy just working for Disney.

Hii my name is Christine, I'm 20 and I go to Georgia Gwinnett College near Atlanta, GA. Major is undecided but I'm leaning toward the social sciences. Aside from Disney (which takes up a ridiculously large portion of my life..) I LOVE to read - all sorts of books, from childrens' to teens' to classic literature.. and also play video games. I'm a bit of a nerd.

I'm doing 2010 SA merchandise.. which I'm actually really looking forward to -I say that only because I originally wanted to be a character performer but the more I think of merch the more excited for it I get! Can't wait!

Also I'm REALLY verbose.. I had to cut at least half of what I wrote haha. Self-centered much? Geez :rolleyes:

Hi! My name is Julia. I'm 21 and graduated in May with a Journalism degree, which I haven't found any use for yet :sad2: I'm taking classes towards my Masters in...something, I haven't decided yet.

I took my first trip to Disney World when I was four, been about 10 times since and I'll be leaving for my next visit next week, with my mom, dad and sister who is 17. Mostly I've gone with my family, but last year I went for two days with my friends for spring break, and we spent the rest of the time at Clearwater Beach. Fun!

Obviously I'm a Disney fanatic, but also just love pop culture in general. I also love just being in Florida, and I'm saving up to relocate there in about a year! Hmmm...my favorite Disney movie is Peter Pan, favorite ride Big Thunder Mountain, EPCOT is my favorite park. Yeah, that's it I suppose :)

Howdy Hey! : pops out of lurkdom :

I'm Sara and I'm a fogey at 25 (almost 26) years old. I'm a graduate student of Library Science/Anthropology at the University of South Florida (Go Bulls!).

I've practically grown up going to Walt Disney World, as my family has been passholders since before I was born. My favorite park was EPCOT Center, and I can often be found reminiscing about the "Good Ol' Days" of Horizons and Dreamfinder. :sad: My vintage EPCOT obsession has resulted in my 6 year old son also railing about the loss of the original attractions (he has the old Living Seas preshow memorized) which he never had the chance to experience.

I'm Jen, I'm 24 and I am currently going to a community college to get my degree in film. I am hoping to have it by around 2011 or 2012. I like to take only a few classes at a time so I don't get too stressed. I am not sure exactly what I want to do yet, I'm thinking makeup artist, screen writer, or maybe animation. Those are my top 3.

That is about it

Hello all! My name is Emily and I'm from Rock Island, Illinois(if you haven't heard of it, its part of the Quad Cities, also, Davenport, Iowa and Moline, Illinois are part as well). Lived here my entire life! I attended community college and graduated in December with my associates degree in biology. I eventually want to get my Ph.D in marine biology. My initial plan after I graduated from the community college was to join the Navy so that they would help pay for my bachelors degree and the beginning of graduate school. Well that didn't happen because of a few things so I was looking for a way to be able to go down to florida (where i plan to attend school), earn money and establish residency. I found the disney college program and became extremely estatic. I read that i had to be enrolled and taking at least one class so my father signed me up for a womens self defense class that earns me 2 credits! I absolutely love disney and everything about it. I've been there 3 times: for my 7th birthday, when i was 13, and then just last year for my 21st birthday. Disney is an extremely emotional place for me because how happy it makes me. My favorite disney movie is definatly the little mermaid! When it first came out i watched it so many times i broke the tape. lol.
Well anyways, i've been kinda rambling. So yeah. I applied for the fall advantage 2010 CP and have my phone interview next thursday. I hope i get in!!!

I attend a community college and I am planning to transfer to PITT (mechanical engineering) after I do the college program. I just applied for the Fall Program on Monday and, like everyone else, I want to get in soooo bad!!!! I love Disney more than anything ever and my dream is to work at Disney as an Imagineer! That is just a little about me I love to talk to people so send me a message if you want to talk!

I'm Logan. I'm a senior at Appalachian State University studying Advertising "with a Creative Focus" (which basically means I'm studying publishing and design). I'm a 2010 College Program hopeful! I also hope to work for Disney World's in-house ad agency (Yellow Shoes Creative Group) some time after I graduate. So, I'm pursuing the college program as a foot in the door for the Professional Internship program (and not coincidentally pursuing a long held dream of working at Walt Disney World!).

I'm calling to schedule my interview tomorrow! I'm so excited!

Hello all! I'm Becca, and i'm a 19 year old fashion design student in the metro detroit area, Michigan. I had been planning on doing the CP this year but i've decided to do a study abroad program this year so I'm aiming for spring 2011. I've been wanting to do the CP program since I found out about it in 7th grade so I'm INCREDIBLY eager for my opportunity to come, but this is the only year I could do my study abroad program so I will have to tough it out one more year. At least I have ample amount of time to really learn the ins and outs now ;)

02-28-2010, 07:40 PM

Yay ICP Summer 2010! I still count right? D:

Well if I do, heya peeps! My name's Taylor, and I'm from Toronto! See, I'm not all that far away from you guys! Practically next door. (: Anyway, I'm 18 and in my first year of university, studying Theatre with a minor in Music (Vocals). Now let's see... well I was born here in Canada, but spent a few years in England (between ages 8-12), because my mother's side is pretty much entirely from England/Scotland. Not that this is important, but I was a competitive gymnast for most of my childhood years, until I stopped at age 13. Just something interesting.

Now for my Disney-crazed side. Two weeks after I was born was my first trip to Walt Disney World, and I've been countless times since. I consider it a second home. My parents got married there when I was 6, I spent my seventh birthday there, and my family were members of the Vacation Club. The last time I went was two years ago, in 2008, and I still love the feeling of seeing the overhead Walt Disney World sign as you drive onto the property... it makes me feel like a child again. Every single trip there has been an amazing experience. One of my most magical moments has to be my seventh birthday trip. I got incredibly sick, fever and all, and really wasn't enjoying myself at all. We had gotten up early to go to breakfast with Belle, and I got decked out in my little Belle costume just for the occasion. I was sitting at the table with my mom, dad and sister, and hating my life, when Belle finally made her way over to my table. She noticed that I didn't look well, felt my forehead, and made small talk telling me she hoped I would get better for my birthday, asked us where we were from, etc. Of course I was ecstatic that Belle was talking to me, but I had absolutely no energy to interact with her. The entire time she talked to me in a very soothing voice, and she was spending ages signing my autograph book. I don't have a photo with her with her that I'm aware of, but I still have the autograph. She had signed her name fairly large on one page, and used my crayons to draw a rose taking up the entire two page spread, and left a little kiss mark above the rose. This is the reason I want to work there - to make every other child's trip to Walt Disney World as magical as every single one of mine were, and also why I would love to be a face character. As for my favourite Disney movies... I grew up with the classics, and my favourites are Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Homeward Bound, Old Yeller and Beauty and the Beast.

Good to meet all of you! Those whom I'll possibly be seeing this summer, can't wait! I apologize for the novel, haha, it was added as an afterthought.

02-28-2010, 08:05 PM

Hi Everyone, I'm Kayla.
I'm from Pittsburgh and a sophomore at PITT-double majoring in theatre and film. I have always loved Disney, in an obsessive way.
The movies, the parks, the company, everything!
I feel that Disney has been such a huge part of my childhood and now adulthood, that it has truly shaped who I am as a person.
The feeling that I get while at the parks is inexplicable---but if I had to try, I would call it surreal happiness: I usually smile, wide-eyed the entire time and then randomly cry during Wishes or other shows. It's THAT bad.
I heard about the college program late, last year actually (my freshman year), and knew that it was something I wanted to do, but actually couldn't until after I graduated due to requirements. That didn't last, I've decided to take classes over summer to keep on track and applied for this Fall.
I'm now anxiously waiting for hopefully a purple folder...
The reason i want to do it is obvious: I want to make others as happy as current cast members make me!
I'm auditioning to be a character performer, but my other choices are attractions and costuming.
I guess that's it! Message me, I'm always excited to meet new people, especially Disney people! :)

Hey Y'all, just saying hi! I'm studying Anthropology at University of Cincinnati. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Disney - it's my life. I share a b-day with walt and grew up with Disney everything.
I LOVE the old Disney Channel shows like Duck Tales, Goof Troop, and Chip N' Dale's Rescue Rangers. My ringtone is Hannah Montana's Best of Both Worlds. :cool1: My favorite Disney movie is Lilo & Stitch. My jam for life is Stand Out from A Goofy Movie. : D My room in my apartment is all disney!
I LOVE old tv shows like the Golden Girls and the Lawrence Welk show and my roommates make fun of me for watching both, but I don;t care because I enjoy them and they are a million times better than what you see on tv today (just my 2 cents):thumbsup2

Hi everyone :]

I'm Jenn and I'm a costume design major at the wonderful DeSales University. Life isn't too exciting in the Allentown, PA area, but I keep myself busy with anything artsy I can get my hands on. I love sewing (obvi...), drawing, painting, theatre going, and movie watching. Disney is probably the greatest love of my life. My family has been DVC members since I was two and we go all the time. I had my first trip parent free this past Christmas break and my friends almost couldn't get me back on the magical express to go home! lol I am a hopeful CP member spring 2011, so keep it in your prayers that it works out!
so good to see so many kindred spirits here!!!

Hey everyone!

I'm Alyssa and I'm 19 years old. Right now I go to Ocean County College in New Jersey. Next year I will be transferring to Kean University where I will be majoring in elem. education. I teach 1 yr. olds at a pre-school, and although fun it can be a nightmare some days!

Obviously I am crazy about Disney and have some Disney goals:
1. I want to drink around the world!
2. I want to go to Disney for every holiday!
3. I want to go for my birthday!
4. Honeymoon at the Poly!
5. Stay at every resort on property!

Aside from Disney, I love going to the beach. Wish I didn't work everyday so I could still go everyday like I used to. I like working out, being outside, and just being active in general. I like going to Atlantic City for weekend getaways. I love watching movies and wish Friends was still on t.v! I guess that's about it!
Oh, and I love my boy...Johnny :love:

Kara1392

03-16-2010, 04:51 PM

My name is Kara, and I'll be eighteen years old in alittle under a month. I live in central Florida, about 30-45mins from Disney, and have all my life. It has its benefits, because when my siblings and I were younger we went to WDW often, but it is a very busy little town.

I will be studying Business Administration in the Fall of this year, and will apply for the Spring 2010 CP for Lifeguarding at this time. I believe that Disney truley is the place dreams come true, and Im off to chase my dream of getting my foot in the door of the business side of Disney.

I'm openly a lesbian, and Florida seems to be one of the worst places to live if you are not heterosexual, in my opinion. This makes me that much more excited for the program, I can't wait to just be myself in a society that refrains from hard language and stares. And also, to meet people who share the same lifestyles and make some great friendships out of it. :)

I love almost everything about Disney and think it's amazing to be part of these boards. I'm also very much into the Twilight series and love many different kinds of music.

Hello!

It's weird introducing myself cause I've been on these boards reading Thread, after long long long thread and it feels like I know some of you already. Some of the threads dated as far as early 2008 so I've seen the ups and downs, the hopes and broken hearts of some of the users. Haha, so :)

Well, I suppose it is nice to introduce myself, and get as involved as I can! Gotta rack up my post count! Haha.

I'm Fall 2010 QSFB (assuming I do not make character performer auditions... in 4 days!). I hope to be active on these boards for the next four days and days after that as well.

I'm Steph, 19 from Connecticut. I go to a community college right now, and will hopefully transfer out to a university in the pacific northwest in a few years (I love it there). I'll either be an English or Journalism major, I've always loved to write and have consistently been told that I'm good at it. I have never been to any Disney parks, but am looking forward to (maybe) participating in the college program.

Love,Jen

Hey everyone!!!

My name is Jennifer. Currently I am a junior at San Jose State University, majoring in advertising. I live in the bay area in California. I have applied for the Fall 2010 CP in Florida! Hope I get it, my interview is on Friday!

Sure, I'll join the fray. I have been reading all these threads about the College Program for weeks fully aware I would never have the opportunity to participate.

I'm Jared, and I am graduating next month with a degree of journalism from Syracuse University in Central New York. I grew up in a suburb about 30 minutes outside New York City. I fantasized about trying the College Program throughout my time here, but it always took a backseat to work for my college newspaper, which was essentially my life for four years. I am happy to report I have a six-month paid internship at a major newspaper starting in June, but part of me had hoped I wouldn't have anything, which would leave my fall available for Disney.

Someday, perhaps.

Hey guys! My name is Melissa. I just got accepted into the college program for Fall '10, today! I'm arriving on August 9th, and am going to be a Photopass photographer, at Disney World.

I'm super excited to go! I'm a very artsy person, and want to be a photojournalist one day. It's what I'm going to school for. I love musicals and music in general. If you were to see me while I'm driving, I'm more than likely singing...and sometimes dancing while I'm at red lights. XD (In the safest way possible, no worries!) And I really like to cook and bake as well. I love coming up with new concoctions. I can't have gluten anymore (I stopped eating gluten almost a year ago), so I love taking old recipes that I used to love, and turning them into something that I can love again.

I can't wait to see everyone in August!

Hey everyone. My name is Mallory and I am 18. I'll be starting my sophomore year at UNL in August. I'm a journalism major but I'm not really sure what I want to do with it yet. I'm pretty sure I don't want to write, I would like designing a lot more.

I am hoping to do the CP in the spring of '12, but my mom is a real freak about me graduating in four years, so we'll see. I have been to WDW 3 times and am dying to go again since the last time I was there it was only for 2 days, and on a school trip, so we only got to go to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT.

In my free time I do a lot of watching TV and movies and reading books. My favorite show is Gossip Girl and I love the Twilight series. :love:

Hi guys!

I'm Beth, I'm 21 years old and I'm studying medicine in Cardiff in Wales, UK.

I've been on the DIS boards for a while, but this is the first time I've checked out the college boards. I decided to check it out to see if I could find any tips for the Disney International College Program which I am going to apply for for Summer 2011.

I went to WDW for the 2nd time last year with my family, and hopefully I can go again this September before I return to university, if I manage to find a summer job and save up some money!

Nice to meet you all!

Haven't applied to the Disney College Program yet, but I'm hoping to do so in Fall 2011. My dream job is to become a Walt Disney Imagineer, so hopefully an internship through the DCP could help me eventually get an internship with Imagineering!

This August, I'm going to start my freshman year at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, majoring in theatre.

Hiya! I'm Gracie. I'm 19 and going to college in Tyler, Texas. I used to be an english major but am changing my degree to musical theatre after I did my first full production of Bye Bye Birdie. I have always been a big kid at heart and have loved the world as a kid because there's always something different when I'm there. My favorite ride is Expedition Everest and the Great Movie Ride and my favorite Disney Movie is Up (I rarely cry except for this movie).

I'm also curious about this CP. Must find some more information. :)

Anna's_Order

07-12-2010, 09:18 PM

I'm Anna, as should be obvious from my username.

Some of you already seem to like me a little less thanks to my recent postings. Sorry we haven't gotten off to a great start. My posting might be a bit abrasive, but my intention (even when introducing an opposing opinion) is not to offend, just to discuss.

Really, I'm happy to meet all of you, especially the CP alumni.

Anyways, I'm pretty committed to doing the Disney College Program myself.

I'm the smart rebel who has always known she wanted to work for Disney.After finally finishing high school , I turned down my two year full-ride scholarship because it wouldn't allow for me to do the Disney program. I could have used the scholarship a semester, but I preferred it to be passed on to the next in line, to be used to its full extent.

Right now, I'm enrolled in one college class this fall, and I work full-time at Mcdonalds.

I work hard, and I'm soon to be living on my own, but my love of Disney and my wish on a star to do the Disney College Program motivates me ever further.
Thats a little about me.

Peace

Hello, Hello...

Gosh, I have so much stuff I want to tell you guys about me but only some of you would enjoy it, so if you really want to get to know me just send me a PM. Anyway, I'm Mike, I'm 20 I just dropped out of Rowan University and currently plan on working full time this next semester to put some money in the bank and use some for the DCP... I will be taking 1 course at my county college, but that's only so I can do this College Program. I have done a lot of research and have been daydreaming of doing the college program for the past month. I am really excited about it, and really think it will lead me into the right direction of my life. My dream is to eventually become an Imagineer, I have so many ideas for Disney I just want to write a book and give it to them. I've been to Disney World 16 times despite being from New Jersey.
There's a lot more but I'll let you guys decide if you wanna hear it or not...

One last thing...
I'm looking to find a roommate for Spring 2011 Disney College Program... 21 or over and obviously a guy... PM me if you are interested and we can get to know each other.

I'm very new to these boards but I am excited to meet all of you!:woohoo:

I hope that I can do the College Program within the next 3 years. Hope to ask advisors this year if it is possible through my school. Not sure of what my major is yet :confused3 Leaning towards major in Mass Communications, Public Relations.

Hi, I'm Elizabeth--my username is a long story--and I'm 18 and will be a freshman at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana this fall.

I have been a fan of Disney ever since I was very little, and have been to WDW somewhere around fifteen times so far. It was the location of my 17th birthday celebration and my high school graduation trip in the past two years alone. I have also been on a cruise on the Disney Magic, when I was much younger.

I love watching Disney movies and listening to Disney music, to an extent that baffles most of my family. I get teary-eyed very easily, and I was one of the people bawling during Toy Story 3! I love sharing the magic, and I really do want to work for the Disney company someday. I'm also looking forward to doing the CP, maybe Summer 2012.

I'm Sarah! (duh?) I'm 22 and about to begin my very last semester at the University of Alabama. After I graduate in December, I hope to be heading down to Orlando for the Spring 2011 CP!

I first heard about the CP the fall semester of my freshman year (2006) and have been obsessed ever since! Honestly, if I don't get in, I'm in big trouble because I have yet to come up with a back-up plan!!

Can't wait to get to know you all! :wizard:

Hi all,

Dove is here. I'm 20 years old, from Shanghai, China. I am a absolutely Disney enthusiast and once visited Hong Kong Disneyland. While Disney has annouced its new building plan in Shanghai in 2009, and Shanghai Disneyland Park's building now is on the way, it will be opened to public in 2012 according the plan. So in the near future I will have a new neighbor.

Hi, I'm Kaitlyn! I am a sophomore at Collin College (in Dallas, Tx). I am applying for Spring 2011 (maybe Spring Advantage, I haven't decided yet). Right now I nanny a couple days a week (9 to 6) for a family here with 2.5 year old quads (two boys and two girls) and I love those kids a lot! I honestly think if make Spring CP, the hardest thing is going to be leaving them lol!
I was accepted in Fall 2010, but declined because I couldn't be away from my family and friends for 5-6 months including Christmas and Thanksgiving! So I think Spring will work out better for me!
I am going to audition to be a character performer, I am 5'6" and have done a lot of dancing and acting! If I don't make character performer, I would like attractions, merch, character attendant, and maybe photo pass photographer.
I like meeting other Spring 2011 hopefuls on here :)

My name is Paul and I did the Fall Advantage 2009 college program last year. I'm seasonal now and try to make it to Disney at least once a year to keep my status. My role is entertainment and I'm friends with the goofiest character alive. Uhm...what else...I live in Indiana and before my cp I only visited WDW once in 2007.

Good luck to everyone that's going out for spring (and if fall hasn't been decided yet, good luck to you all too)!

I am going to school right now but have changed my major every year and am starting to just waiste time unless I can make a legit decision. Right now I'm thinking hospitality so hopefully disney can help me decide. I've wanted to work for Disney since I was little, and am so excited about this program. Leaving friends and family will be hard but it'll be worth it for an adventure like this. That is if I make it :confused:
I have my interview on saturday!!!

Howdy!
I'm Sarah, I say howdy since I'm from Texas, and I'm starting my Freshman year at Collin College (hey Kaitlyn!). Hopefully I'll be able to spend the spring semester at Disney World as a CP since my FAVORITE thing is meeting new people.

I've wanted to be a Disney/Pixar animator for years. I worked at The Salvation Army and YMCA as day camp and summer camp counselor, respectively, which were both fantastic jobs but my heart belongs to the multi-billion dollar corporation known as Disney. They manufacture magic. How cool is that? I want to be a part of that. I want a spieling role.

Fun fact: I've never been to Disney World. excitement is flowing through my veins at any given moment.

Heya folks! The name's Whitney, and I am a hopeful applicant for the Spring Advantage 2011 College Program at the amazingly epic Walt Disney World Resort. I am 20 years old and have many things I would love to say, but unfortunately have no time to spill. :confused3

So basically, I love horses, music, film, and creative writing...and most of all, I enjoy spending all the time I can with my family and best friends. I attend the University of New Orleans and am willing to push back graduating for a semester in order to do this program...that's how bad I want this...if I make it in, I will also be missing the birth of my second niece, many family birthdays, my own 21st bday with family and my besties...and Mardi Gras...but it'll all be worth it if I can have the chance of a lifetime to work at my dream location! :cloud9:

Okay, want to know more? Just PM me, I don't bite and love to talk to new people! :woohoo:

I did the the college program in 2005 and then did a guest relations professional internship in 2009! Loved both of them! I was working full time for Disney Vacation Club but got let go back in May and have been looking to get back with the company since then!

Looking forward to chatting with everyone and if you have any questions on the CP or PI let me know and I'll try to help!

I hadn't been to Disney World since I was 4 years old and had never heard of the college program. He came home to Indiana and I moved in with him and after awhile living together we moved to Florida. He took me to Disney World and it was the most amazing, magical, perfect day of my life.
I now live in Kissimmee, FL about 10 minutes from the entrance to Animal Kingdom. After thinking it through I decided to apply for Spring advantage 2011. I'm enrolled in my old college (St. Charles Community College) still and my phone interviewer was okay with me not living by my college currently (I'm still enrolled) since I plan on going to Valencia eventually. I'm super excited and my phone interview seemed to go really well but like many others, I'm anxiously waiting to see that purple email or folder.

I grew up with all the major Disney movies though. It wasn't until I was 21 and a mother of a beautiful two year old that I fell in love with Disney. My daughter and I first went to Disney on her make a wish trip and went again some months later on what would be her last trip to the world.

We loved Disney so much and being there helped create many magical memories that I will always cherish. From then on I became an official Disney nut and love it. I applied For the Spring CP program and have been accepted. I can't wait to go!!! :cool1:

Hi there!

My name is Elizabeth and I am new to the forums. I really have no idea whether I'm posting my question in the right thread or not, but hopefully if I'm not someone will redirect me!... and since this is an intro thread and I am college age, I thought this was the most appropriate place to post.

I am interested and always have been interested in working for Disneyland. I graduated last year with my BA in Psychology and I'm currently working on my second degree in Education. I want to know more about working in Disneyland (I'm past the point of College Program I believe) and getting a professional internship of some sort to work in the parks for a few months. If not a professional internship, then just a job (working as a ride attendant, cashier, food, anything really!)

I am a Canadian citizen, and I know it would probably be difficult to get a working visa of any sort without even a job offer, but working in Disneyland has always been a dream of mine and next year seems like the perfect time to make it a reality. When I was in Disneyland this past month, I asked about careers or jobs that accept international people, but I didn't get many answers, which is why I decided to turn to the DIS Boards. Ideally, I would love to work within the education field since that is what I am going to school for, but even having some sort of internship where I could just work in the parks for a few months would be amazing as well.

Thank you in advance for your help - I look forward to talking to you all more!

I am a University of Central Florida (Orlando; Ocala Regional Campus) College of Education student.

My name is Kelly. I'm 31 years old. I love Disney (obviously, or else I wouldn't be here). I visit Disney's theme parks many times a year as I have had an annual pass for the past 2 1/2 years. I have been on 1 Disney cruise, taking my 2nd one in celebration of my graduation from UCF. I cruise May 19th! I cannot wait.

Looking to meet some other Disney fanatics. ;) And my Prince Charming, wherever he may be. :lovestruc

Hi there I'm Andi (well that's half my name but the full name is entirely too complicated)
I'm 20, I've done the Fall 08 Careerstart and plan on doing the Fall 11 College program with one of my best friends.

I've loved Disney since before I could talk and have been there more times than I can count due to an Uncle who works at ABC.

I've not yet shaken the habit of doing the Disney Point and saying have a magical day:goodvibes

Might as well introduce myself. My name is Brandon and I am coming from Oregon to start on the 19th of January. I am 22 and I just got my degree in Hospitality and Tourism management. I am working Bell Service Dispatch in one of the hotels and am very excited to meet some great people and work for a great company. If there are any people out there looking for roommates let me know and maybe we can live together down there.

Hey everyone! Figured I'd introduce myself. :) I'm Emily. I'm 18 years old, and I'm starting the second semester of my freshman year. I'm from the NYC metro area, but I go to school in Middle-of-Nowhere, Upstate NY :sad2:, so I'm looking to get away for as many semesters as possible.

I'm thinking about applying to the CP for Spring 2012, but I haven't completely made up my mind yet. I hope the posters on here who have been through it and are going through it can offer up advice and guidance.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Hey y'all i'm bree :) i am 19 years old. I'm gonna be honest i'm actually not attending a college right now. After highschool i wanted to take a break (hey i went through 12 years of it, i deserve a break right??). I just thought i'd introudce myself because i thought it would be a good way to start this whole disboard thing. I had one a loooooong time ago so i kinda forgot how this works
Annnyways a little about me. I grew up in Kansas but in spring of 09 i moved to florida with my family to be closer to Disneyworld. Then in June i moved here to california and i am currently working at DisneyLand. I guess i just cant get enough of Disney.... hehe ;)

Hey everyone, my name is Seth, I'm 20 and I'm a senior at the U of Minnesota studying Astrophysics. I went down to WDW at the end of the summer and went to DLC in the middle, and visited DL Paris when I was 10 or so. I've just had my phone interview last night so I have a ways to go on the waiting, but I'm really looking forward to (hopefully) getting down there and having a blast with all of you! I'm hoping to be placed in concierge, fsfb or recreation at the Grand Floridian/Polynesian, so if anyone has any tips on who to talk to or how to transfer about once we're in the program I'd appreciate it.

My main focus in school tends to waiver between Criminal Justice, Education, and Robotics. I'm a huge techie!

Hey everyone! I'm Alexis, I'm an Environmental Science major at Northeastern University. I had my phone interview for the WDWDCP a couple weeks ago, and the wait is killing me! I'm hoping to do the Fall '11 program. I've loved Disney for as long as I can remember and it would be an honor to work for the company! I love meeting new people and working with people, and I absolutely LOVE working with animals (which is what I do at my current job:)). I also play guitar and piano, and I'm super outdoorsy.

I got an email a few days ago from DCP Recruiting and my heart dropped because I thought it was an acceptance/rejection/pending letter, but it was only a survey. I've been pretty good with not thinking too much about it but I can't help it!

Good luck to everyone who applied and who will apply! :hippie:

My name's Rory, I'm a Senior Recreation, Parks and Tourism major with a specialization in Recreation and Event Management at the University of Florida!

I grew up in Orlando, and I'm hoping to move back there when I graduate this April. This past summer I worked with ODF at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Though I'm not a CP (Seasonal!) I've still made a lot of CP friends, as well made friends with other seasonal college kids, and often get confused as a CP.

About 8-10 years ago I was active on the DISBoards as TinkerBellPixie4GOAL, but its been awhile, so I'm back now!

You should apply for Fall 11!! Even if you decide not to do it after you get accepted you can opt not to do it and apply for spring 2012. At least you have the option. Fall gets Christmas and Halloween season soooo fun!

My name is Kim and I just turned 21. :) I am waiting for my decision letter for Fall 2011 from WDW. I have loved Disney, both as a company and as entertainment, since I was about 5. :) I have wanted to work at Disneyland for years and might actually do it one day. I applied to the WDW CP because I have never been there. (I live in California)

Lets see - I am currently majoring in Pharmacy Technology. My plan is to finish with that, get a really good job and then go back and get my bachelors in Film. (My real love)

I also am a huge music nut. I play lots of instruments and sing and enjoy all sorts of music.

If you are going to WDW CP Fall (or Fall Advantage) let me know :) We can hang out if I get accepted!

Hi, all!

My name is Rachel (or Rae). I'm 22 years old and a junior studying English at the University of Illinois in Champaign.

I literally woke up this morning and decided on a whim to apply for the DCP in Disneyland for Fall '11. I made it past the Web-Based Interview and am going to call after the weekend to try and schedule my phone interview for Tuesday afternoon.

To be honest (and I'm getting way ahead of myself here), I'm not completely sure, if I were to get accepted, that I would go this time around. I took a year and a half break after getting my associate's before going back to school to try for my BA. My goal is to graduate in May 2012, and I don't actually know if I will be able to do so if I do a semester of the DCP. Sooo, even if I get accepted, I may have to shelf the opportunity for a year. :worried:

Anyway, gonna end my speech there and just say I look forward to chatting with the rest of you. :)

Hi! I'm Maggie! I'm 21 years young and am a Theatre (Performance Emphasis) and Art History major at Tulane University where I will be graduating from soon. SO PSYCHED! I love acting, taking in and creating great art, traveling, making friends, talking, laughing, cooking, going to the beach, going out dancing and making jewelry. I am a feminist and love gender and sexualities studies. I also am fascinated with WW2 history, particularly the social and political issues in Germany during the rise of the Nazi Regime. If anyone else is a WW2 history buff I highly recommend reading Defying Hitler by Sebastian Haffner. SO GOOD! I am obsessed with Salvador Dali! If anyone is down for a road trip from O-town to the Dali Museum, let's hook up! I am OBSESSED with Tinkerbell. She is embellishing my room, car, and a lot of my wardrobe. lol. I also love Mulan. They are my fave Disney characters for sure! Well, Goofy is up there too!

I'm accepted into the Fall Advantage Program in Attractions! Yay! :cool1:

I hope to go on to work in costuming for film and/or tv, so I may need to go back to school for Costume Design in theatre ):

I'm not accepted to the program yet...my phone interview is tomorrow, and my nerves are going crazy! D:

I'm hoping for Costuming, but Character Attendant and PhotoPass Photographer are my #2 and #3 choices! I hope to get into the Fall Advantage, and move in the last available date (June 13th, right?)
I may have jumped the gun, but I started a blog!

Hey everyone, I'm Meredyth!

I've been reading a lot of the posts here, so I thought I'd introduce myself.

I completed the International College Program last summer- I worked Custodial in Magic Kingdom, and I absolutely LOVED it. If you don't mind doing the work, I think it's probably one of the better jobs in the park (although I might be a bit biased :goodvibes) So if anyone has any questions about Custodial, feel free to PM me!!!

I'm planning on applying for a Professional Internship in Education in 2012, so I'm really hoping all goes well for that!

Hey guys!

I'm Sabra, and I'm currently a 5th year Theatre Studies major at Illinois State University. I am graduating in May (at least I better be *shakes fist at the registration office*), and will be starting the DCP in Florida June 13 in Costuming for the Fall Advantage Program. :cool1:

As of 12:14 this morning, I am 23 years old. :goodvibes

Hello!

I'm Megan and I'm currently a Junior at Kent State University. I just applied/interviewed for the Fall Advantage or Fall 2011 program.

I'm twenty years old and am majoring in Graphic Design.

I hope to do a professional internship with Disney for Graphic Design after the College Program. (If I get in!)

I can't wait to meet so meet so many new people and help try to make so many's vacations great!

I'm doing attractions for Fall Advantage 2011. I've never actually been to Disney World (I have been to Disneyland once) so I'm so stoked to get down there and just my adventure!

My Aunt and Uncle that I frequently visit live in Yardley! I love the town, it's such a nice area :)

My name is Leah, I'm 22 yrs old and will be graduating from college this May with a degree in Business and concentration in marketing.

I just got accepted for Merchandise for Fall Adv. 2011, and have a phone interview this Wednesday for 2 marketing-related PIs. Either way I'll definitely be on the Disney pay roll soon. ;)

I'm super excited since it's been my dream to work for Disney for many years now. I'm kind of shy in person but do love meeting new people, so feel free to friend me on facebook or follow me on twitter (links are in my siggy). I'd love to get to know other Fall/Fall advantage cast members! :)

Hey I'm Kayla!

I'm currently a sophomore at Eastern CT State University and I'm studying business administration. I'm hoping to get into the Fall 2011 CP, I just had my phone interview yesterday morning so I'm nervous to see how I did!

I'm constantly on here trying to see how good of a chance I have at getting in lol

Congrats on getting the phone interview! I bet you have pretty good chance of getting in, especially if you were on the boards at all before you interviewed (I know just reading about the program in general, and especially the boards about the interview really helped me feel prepared for mine).

Good luck with the waiting! What role(s) are you hoping for?

ixDreamxofxDisney

03-26-2011, 09:18 PM

Thanks Holly!

I put down Attractions, QSFB, FSFB and Merchandise as my top 4. If everyone here on the college board is right (which hopefully they are lol) then I have a good chance by putting down QSFB haha

Hmmm I'm Liz, I'm a 20-year-old sophomore studying at Ohio University, although I'm from Columbus, Ohio. I am undecided between my Hotel & Tourism major and Interior Design. However I am quite content with my business and studio art minor!

I labeled Disney as my dream job when I was...oh, 10 and now I think I've decided it's time to go for it!

For whatever reason I have always favored Lady and the Tramp, going to some strange lengths such as buying a cocker spaniel when my parents said I could get a puppy :lovestruc I think the movie represents a classier time and everything I love about disney

I never properly introduced myself. I just got excited and started posting :P

My name is Brittany! I'm 20 years old (21 in 3 days). I live in Texas and I'm studying Theater. It's been a goal of mine to work for Disney and after years of sending my application to the Disney Store and not getting interviews I just applied to the park itself and got accepted into the College Program.

I will be arriving one June 13th to get my Fall Advantage started!

I'm looking forward to meeting new friends and all of the experiences (good and bad) that I will have.

That is about all I can think of to write. Any questions :P

Well I'm not really a college student anymore but I fit in here better than the other places ha ha! I'm Morgan (22). We are going to WDW at the end of June I'm excited! We've been several times but its awesome and brings back so many childhood memories now!

Hi all,
My name's Ebz, I'm originally from New Zealand, currently living in Paris, France. Erm, I'm 24 and I have 2 BAs, one in French and one in English, working on a Post Graduate Diploma in French at the moment. Love travelling and learning other languages! Also love Disney :) Couldn't forget that!
I worked for the Mouse from Jan 2010 to Jan 2011, first 6 months as a Lifeguard at both Typhoon Lagoon and Crescent Lake (Yacht & Beach Resort/Boardwalk Resort), then the second 6 months in Attractions at Innoventions in EPCOT (Sum of All Thrills, Piggy Bank Adventure, UL, Papermaking, IBM Runtime, Velcro's Slapstick Studios, Information Board).
Would be happy to answer any questions you might have (especially for ICPs not working in the Pavilions)

Reintroducing myself, because I haven't been around in a while and I've decided to change the term for which I'm applying.

Hiii! I'm Emily! I'm from the NYC suburbs, but I go to school in upstate New York. I'm 18 years old and I just finished my freshman year as an English major with concentrations in creative writing and global studies, and a minor in theater. I'm planning on applying for Fall 2012, so I'll be applying less than a year from now! I am SO insanely excited! I always wanted to spend some time working for the mouse, but never thought I would do a CP. Then I started doing a ton of research on the program, and I realized just how perfect it was for me. I'm an absolute Disney NUT (my vice is actually DCL... but living/working/learning at WDW is a dream) and I know that here, I'll find other people to be a freak with! :goodvibes

Amy Simpson here. 22 years old. Originally from Manchester, England, but have lived in various US states for the past 14 years. I currently live in the Seattle area on Washington, but recently graduated from Grand Valley State University near Grand Rapids, Michigan. My degree is a Bachelor of Social Work. I'll be arriving to check in on August 31st, and I'll be working attractions though I have no idea which one yet - my mum thinks I'd be great at the Haunted Mansion because I can keep a straight face through most anything.

Speaking of, one of my favorite Disney memories was just last summer when two little girls in line at Haunted Mansion conspired with their father, and when the cast member opened the doors to give her spiel they jumped at her to give HER the fright. She nearly lost control and was barely able to stop herself from laughing, couldn't recover well enough to do her bit, and instead just glared and pointed. It was bloody brilliant.

Hi Peeps,

I'm 25, from Ottawa Canada. I'm studying at Carleton University in Ottawa, a double-major in Classics and anthropology.
I love the super old disney movies (bambi, panochio, dumbo, etc), although these days I prefer some of the newer ones like Mulan that actually support cool females character who don't wait around for muscular males to rescue them (yes it is hard to reconcile disney and feminism. But I'm trying, I'm trying)!

I love many things (see my profile for details) and would be happy to chat about all of them! :wizard:

I'm a hopeful Spring 2012 CPer, and I'd ideally like to try living/working at Disneyland in SoCal, but I'd be fine with WDW as well, as it is my "home" park. :)

HIYA!!! I'm Lauren (LoriLai for kicks) I was born in California and my whole entire family eats, breaths, and LIVES Disney!!! I got a family brick at DisneyLand and lotsa witches apples stolen from the snow white ride but Ssssh its a secret :woohoo:. I live in Miami now and I hope to make it as character performer for Spring Advantage 2012 hurray! Back-up plan is attractions although I'd be happy getting anything. I have lotsa pets: a husky Sniper, a wolf hybrid Sheba, a blue-fronted amazon Chocobo, a crimson-bellied conure (no name yet), two mice Butterscotch and Minnie Mouse, a treefrog, a betta, and a gerbil. HURRAY!!! Family tradition is still to this day to go to DisneyLand at least five times a year for weeks at a time =D

I also highly recommend going to the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco it is awesome :rotfl:

Riku

09-21-2011, 01:46 AM

Yeah for crowd following! :D

So, I'm Riku! It's a nickname I got a few years back that just stuck. All of my employers so far have called me that as well. Anyway! I'm 21 and this will be my first time participating in the DCP, as long as I pass the phone interview and get accepted, of course!

I lived in Anaheim for most of my life and went to Disneyland frequently (Season passes, yay~!). My family moved down to San Diego when I was 13, and as soon as I could go far on my own, I went to DL at least once a year. As for WDW, I've only been once when I was about 6. My family stayed in the mushroom houses by the swamp/lake thingie and one morning we even had a peacock at our door! Unfortunately, dad had forgotten the batteries to the camcorder XD My memories are blurry and rather vague, only images and parts of a conversation with Timone. Hopefully, I will regain some of those memories when I see everything again.

I can't wait!

My name's Kaleen and I go to Missouri University of Science & Technology. I applied for WDW for this next Spring in the hopes that I'd be able to do it, but my adviser decided at the last minute that I should wait a year. :( I was accepted for Spring Advantage Attractions.

Greetings.

My name is John. I've been a fan of the art of animation as long as I can recall, and I've known for a long time that Disney animation was the pinnacle of the art form. Some of my earliest exposure came in the form of the VHS recordings my parents made for me when I was young; here is an example of what I recall in my youth (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCHTOptl8Ps).

I own an outdated edition of Christopher Finch's Art of Walt Disney (http://www.amazon.com/Art-Walt-Disney-Christopher-Finch/dp/B000C4SU3S/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317616223&sr=1-3), which I cherish, though I am also partial to Warner Bros. animation, especially Chuck Jones' works (he did work on Sleeping Beauty after all; Walt must have known he was talented). There's also a special place in my heart for Garfield, as well as Jim Davis' animated specials (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10zm-bGJ9kM).

I have been accepted to the 2012 Spring program at the WDWCP, and I will be working Housekeeping; it should be fun, and it should be great to get away from the midwestern winter for once.

I am the wife of a spring 2012 Culinary Assistant in Pastry and Baking. Disney has been a part of my life since I was very small. when I met my husband we found we had a mutual like of Disney. So much so that we got married in the Rose Garden of the Disneyland Hotel! Our son has grown up with Disney and is very excited for his dad to work with the "mouse". our son keeps telling people that his dad is working for Mickey Mouse. Very cute.

He will be in the program from January 9th - May 11th. We will miss him, but I am sure we will be able to go and see him once while he is there. We are so proud of all that he has accomplished since he was laid off in 2008 from the Architectural Industry. Baking has been his passion as well as cooking and it has been his dream to work for Disney since I first met him. Now he has his chance!!!!

Congrats to all of you who have gotten accepted and granting patience to all those who are still waiting to hear.

My name is Peter!

I am a student at Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR).

While my major is technically ILR I am concentrating on Human Resource Management. While I am only a freshman I love it!

Disney is very special to me as it represents so much more than attractions and beauty! It is, in the words of The Blue Fairy, the power of wishes!

Hi y'all! I'm Kira and I'm currently a sophomore studying photography in Missouri with double minors in business and theatre. My family's been to WDW twice and since I attended a DCP presentation my first semester of college I've been dying to do the program :goodvibes

I was accepted into the program for Spring 2011, but since it was my first year of college I decided to pass. Now that I've had the time to plan out my busy class schedule and have the money needed for the deposits I'm looking at doing DCP in Spring 2013. I'm fairly confident I'll make it in again, but you never know. I'm hoping the stars will smile on me!
