College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

Ok, this may have been asked several times but when does the application go up for the fall?

I don't know if this has been answered before, so sorry if it has!

I am applying next semester for Spring 2012 and so is my boyfriend. We have a dog, so we have been researching off-campus housing in case we both (hopefully) get in!

So, my main question is how many hours would I work on a typical day and on a busy busy day? I am thinking about setting up a dog walker for those 8+ hour days.

Also, I have heard that you could swap hours and things like that, which might be useful in case both my boyfriend and I get in so we can stagger our hours and be able to take care of the dog too.

Has anyone gone down and stayed off-campus with a pet?

Thanks!

If you don't mind I'd like to hear the info you got about staying off-campus. me & bf would also be moving to orlando together for the time.

for check in, what is involved when they inspect you for the disney look? Does anyone know anything as far as makeup goes, beyond the "should be blended in a natural manner"?

You basically go to this table at Traditions and give them your name and they mark you off that you are there...apparently they give you a look up and down, but I must have been extra Disney-looky? lol because I didn't notice it at all...but a girl at my table said they looked at her and made her take off a bracelet. The makeup is just like... normal, not extreme. Black/brown eyeliner, mascara, natural colored eyeshadow? I normally didn't wear makeup to work because I have no idea how to do "normal girl" makeup lol On the first day, they won't yell at you or go crazy about your look, they just kind of...tell you what isn't right about the way you look and how to fix it lol. ASK QUESTIONS! Because this kid had these EXPENSIVE shoes on, and they were dressy, he asked if they were Disney-look appropriate and the lady said no... (she had heavy makeup and cleavage too, lol fyi). I had little ballet flats on, which I wouldn't have been surprised if she said they weren't ok--but they were.

Their website is probably the best place to start

https://www.wdwcollegeprogram.com/

If you have any questions that aren't answered there, this board is probably the best place to get answers!!! Best of luck

Do you take any kind of notes during Traditions? Basically, do you need to be prepared to write things down at this or during work orientation? Or do you simply need supplies only for Disney classes?

It's always smart to have a pen handy but they give you everything you need at Traditions.

For people who have done 2+ CPs...what kinds of questions would they ask you on your 2nd interview?

From what I remember, they asked me the same questions. I think they started off the interview with some friendly questions about where I worked last time and what my favorite thing was, that kind of thing. But the actual interview questions were the same type of situational questions as the first time around.

I was reading over the "Disney Look" and I saw how strict they are and that I violate quite a few of them (body piercing , excessive jewelry , unnatural hair color etc) and I was wondering would they be okay if I kept my nose ring in but used a clear plug that can be covered with make up or should I just take it out and have it repierced after I'm done ? Dankie to anyone who replys

Unfortunately, Disney Look strictly prohibits wearing any sort of spacer, retainer or plug in any body piercing while working.

I just sprayed coffee all over my keyboard after reading this. Thanks.

Don't worry about making any changes right now. People don't have to be within guidelines until check-in day.

I'll keep it simple. Disney Look at Traditions/class. Script tattoo, inner foot, barely peeks over ballet flats. Yes or no?

I think the answer begins with an "n."

Correct no. The tattoo cannot be visible...not even barely visible.

I ended my last CP at WDW with a restricted rehire status. If I were to apply to Disneyland would I still have this status?

Yes, you would have the same restricted rehire status. Your status is company-wide for all Disney-operated companies, not just WDW.

Whooo I have an interview on Tuesday!
