I also bought an Annual Pass so he could use his Maingates in case any friends came down.

Original poster didn't say his son was going to WDW as a CP...just that he was transferring from DL to WDW and would be driving Monorail. This page isn't just a College Program page.

My son checked in last year on August 12, and did random, Disney Assigned roomies. He did get the complex he wanted. There were 6 of them in the apartment. They, "Got Along," but none really became friends from what I can tell...they just lived together. His girlfriend's group was about half...

The only College Program positions in entertainment are "Character Performers," and then it is mostly for furs. Also, your height plays a major, major part in making it through the auditions for that. 5' down and 6' up have the best chances of passing audition.

My son will be a junior this year. He went into school with 6 hours, took 6 hours the summer before his program, which was last fall, and took 6 hours online from his university while on the program...so, yes...he is on track to graduate in 4 years. He plans on applying again the semester he...

Interesting the various experiences, particularly with State Farm...My son was down for Fall 13, and he was covered under my homeowners insurance with, yep...State Farm.

I am planning on moving down in a couple of years and want to work part time. They have a great twitter page to follow. @DisneyParksJobs I check it at least weekly, but it updates daily, and is easier to follow than the website, imo. Good Luck.

First of all, you are offered a role...you either accept or decline. My son was offered custodial, and as a theatre major he really, really struggled with accepting, but he did. Second part: He did Fall 2013, and he was a Sophomore. For his program at school, it was the best possible...

Joe Billi...No problem. He did pick up a resort shift one day at Pop Century and loved it...and apparently other Custodial CPs in other locations had a good program work wise..So I kind of think it depends on your location. Also, being Fall Advantage, you'll probably have more opportunities to...

Son did Custodial at Epcot World Showcase for Fall 13. About 90% of his, and the rest of the CPs time was scheduled in Restrooms. Yes, that was easy, but not exactly what he had expected. He had heard about guest interaction...well, in the restroom that's kind of awkward. They offered water...

My son has auditioned 3 Fur and 2 Face. Only made it through to the end once. His Disney Height has ranged from 5'8" to 6'0". His true height is 5'10". All depends on what they need at the time. At his CP Extension audition last November anyone taller than 5'2" was shown the door pretty much as...

ElsaofArandelle...My son is a theatre major, and also worked 2 seasons at TRF...Small World. He did DCP last Fall...2013. Auditioned last March for Character Performer, made it to the end, but alas...Sucky height, so didn't make it. His theatre major butt did Custodial at Epcot. :)

I am a teacher as well. My son did Fall 2013, and his move in date was August 12. We went down a few days early and had some park time. Fall check in stars the first Monday in August, and they get to choose their date, so shouldn't be a problem.

Definitely good height. However, CPs cannot audition while on program. So if you are wanting to do it, you need to go to one of the auditions in March if possible. My son just finished Fall 2013. The only exceptions they made were for the auditions in December just before the program was over.

Dan, are you International Program? If not, the audition occur before you go down for the program. Most are scheduled in March in various locations throughout the country. At those auditions you will audition for fur, and if they think you have "Face Potential" they will keep you back at the...

Fall Advantage runs mid May/June to early January. Fall runs August to early January. Both end the same day. My son just did Fall 2013 and their last day/checkout of housing day was January 3.

My son did Fall 2013. What we noticed during the application period was that NLICs seemed to go out almost right after the interviews...Like within a day. Acceptances seemed to come out a bit later. Anyway...during his process we figured the longer he waited, the better.

The rent includes wifi, etc. The apartments are furnished including pots, pans, silverware, plates, etc. My son lived in a 3 bedroom with 5 other guys. I am pretty sure that only one of them cooked on a regular basis. I know my son bought groceries...maybe 3 times. He ate in the parks some...

Not sure where the "3 Month" program is coming from? Spring maybe? My son has been down for Fall 2013 and leaves tomorrow...a week shy of 5 months. I guess is makes sense that the chances of being accepted for Advantage would be higher due to Disney getting more out of your training. That said...

The End...son finished his last shift tonight. Spending the day in the parks tomorrow, then headed back to school in Texas via NY with girlfriend he met on CP on Friday. All in all I think he had a good program. Didn't so much like his role. He was custodial in Epcot Future World and a good 90%...
