    Any reviews or pictures of sea venture at dc/

    I heard someone say that she thought it was "better than disney world!". If that helps! SeaVenture is really cool. If you have any interest in snorkeling with the fish and rays, definitely check it out. Everything is really easy and not intimidating at all. If you have scuba dived before...

    I just got called to be offered the same! I haven't officially accepted yet (need to talk to my current managers first), but it is a 99% chance I am accepting.

    How strict is the 10 year age requirement for Sea Venture?

    There is no getting around the age restriction. You sign a legal document to do seaventure.

    Discovery Cove and Jewelry?

    They only allow a waterproof watch and a tight-fitting wedding set, same as the trainers. Everything else MUST come off. If you physically cannot take it off, it is at the discretion of the trainers.

    Sea Venture.....

    Seaventure is not available to book online yet. It is currently only available to upgrade in-park.

    Sea Venture.....

    Still technically a soft opening. You can buy it once you're in the park for the day, $60/person and limited openings. Over time, it will be something you reserve when you make a reservation, but for right now, you can book when you check in, or later in the day if there is still room, at the...

    Can you get the schedule for the AK vet in advance?

    I don't believe they truly have a set schedule, other than general checkups. Your best bet is just being there in the morning, that's when they do most of their activities.

    Why do some CMs not like the CP?

    It's just like any place you work. Some people aren't going to like you. Some will. In general, if you do your job well, people will like you. The CPs I noticed getting a lot of flak were the ones who messed up all the time or generally acted like they were on vacation, not working. Most of my...

    Magic DOES happen for adults!

    My friend used to work at 50s prime time, and would definitely razz the same-sex couples a little bit. He could usually tell who it was (body language between a couple), and would make jokes about how great it was that these two cousins finally met and all that.

    CP Parents

    I earned enough to pay rent (~$400/mo), buy groceries (~$200/mo), pay my car insurance (~$190/mo), gas (~$50/mo), AND still have fun and pay for other things, and I still saved about $1000 over the time I was there. I also worked at Animal Kingdom, where days are shorter (I went home at...

    retention rate?

    I had a roommate who was accepted for Spring advantage and just left at the end of spring with the rest of us. She wasn't crazy about her job (Cosmic Ray's). I don't see it as selfish.

    Professional Internship - Fall 2011

    hold the phone... if you get rejected from all the PIs you applied for, you're eligible to apply for FT/PT positions on the website? i've been on the disney jobs site and the "apply now" button has never been up (because it's been less than 6 mo since applying for the PIs). so there's a chance i...

    I tried to find the answers to these questions, but couldn't....

    There is too much demand for them to do that. I just thought of it as doing a semester abroad. I'm also a biology major (zoology), but I requested an animal attraction, which was relevant. Public interaction experience is usually pretty good. Any position you can really spin to sound...

    Professional Internship - Fall 2011

    I believe those don't require interviews. Don't quote me, but I swear I heard someone say that.

    Time off during the CP for medical reasons?

    If it's just 1-2 days off, no prob. Request them off on the hub as soon as you can (better chances!) and if you end up getting scheduled anyways, I'm sure you could find someone to cover your shift.

    Professional Internship - Fall 2011

    It was Animal Training - I happened upon the site one night, applied, and a day or two later the position was down. It's apparently really really competitive (understandably), so I guess I'm lucky I came across it. It involves working at Discovery Cove, and it would be really cool, I think!
