Accepted by e-mail?

[dnoyes]

Need some help from you experts. My daughter had her interview last Tuesday and got an e-mail today saying she was accepted for Merchandise fall 09. Have you ever heard of being accepted by e-mail? It did say she would be receiving her packet by mail and has a link and password to view it now.

TIA and for all the help you've already given us.

Hi... Congrats on your daughter's acceptance! I received my initial acceptance to grad school at MIT in an email. The packet with all the details came a few days later. Hope you enjoy this exciting time!!!

From whom did she receive the email?

I received an e-mail as well. I believe this is something newer they've started doing to let people know ahead of time to expect their packets.

Yep it's for real.
She signed up on the DIS but had to go to work for a few hours. I think her name is something like "Lilbugger" so she will be here to meet you all soon.

It was from her recruiter

Well congratulations to her. I arrive in August, so I might see her when she gets there.

Is this going to be what I should expect? I interviewed 3 weeks ago this saturday, then auditioned 2 weeks from tomorrow, and got my rejection for auditions last Friday. I also got a pending letter recently. Should I expect an e-mail or did I have my interview and my application processed too early?! I'm just trying to be prepared and to know how long and when to look or rather where to look.......GAH this wait is killing me, just because everyone seems to be getting e-mails and packets into awesome jobs like merch and attractions, and Berlioz (i think) said that if all they were asking about was QSFB that those were probably the only jobs left. Don't get me wrong, I will do that there, but I'm hoping for ANY OTHER JOB!!! That was my last choice out of all of them, I put down 5 preferred roles before that one. Knowing my luck I will be stuck at Innoventions in EPCOT or at some food stand stranded as far as possible from guests in EPCOT. Not that i have anything against QSFB or EPCOT or Innoventions, I just would rather do anything else since I did food for my last job. I'm worried they might just see that and put me there, and EPCOT is my least favorite park.....anyway, sorry, the e-mail issues?!

Hmm, very interesting. Usually people get their acceptance through letters (unless they auditioned, then they find out via email).

Yeah. I didn't get an e-mail last time. But my friend Katie and I both got them this time. Even though I know some other people who just got letters in the mail. I wonder why they're randomly sending e-mails?

I wish I hadn't read this. It's bad enough waiting for the mail every day, now I'm going to be refreshing my email every 5 minutes.

 

[rachaelfig]

Qube I am with you 100 percent.

 

[savannahjean85]

I wonder if this has anything to do with them switching the application role check list to being online (you use to fax it in or scan it then e-mail), maybe they are trying to move forward with being more online.

 

[MaryPoppins86]

it seems like there are a lot of things that are being done online nowadays, doesn't it. well this newer way of finding out may be better than having to wait for the letter. i also agree with some of you that, if i was in that position now, i'd be refreshing my email every five minutes.

 

[ckrisie]

Well all I can say is good luck with nerves now everybody.

At least the mailman only came once a day.

Not sure if emails are a good thing or not cuz I'd be attacking mine!

Is this going to be what I should expect?

Probably not. They test things all of the time with a few students to see what works, what can be improved upon, and what simply doesn't work (although they still don't realize that the program at Disneyland doesn't work). I digress.

I do know that they have been trying to do email notification for a number of years and they have struggeled with getting the necessary OKs from others (like upper management, legal depts, etc.)

Since they are almost finished recruiting for the semester and based other things that have suddenly sprung up that are sorta out of the ordinary, I'd venture to guess that this is just another something they are testing out.

You should only expect to receive what they tell you to expect and not expect what others (non-Disney) tell you that they received. Otherwise you will just work yourself up over nothing and think you are missing out on something that you aren't.

Notification info is here on their site:

ok thanks. However, I'm not sure you are correct about those last 2 lines. Work myself up over nothing? already done, just ask my parents. I had a breakdown this weekend, not a pretty site. More panic attack and only a few minutes, but it was bad. And thinking I'm missing out? Also check. People are getting accepted into their top roles (which tend to be mine as well) and I have received nothing, people are saying roles are almost full and that the program may be full soon, and I'm regretting doing the audition, and right now I'm just panicking. I want to get there any way in any role, but obviously the program is just more awesome if you get in your top role or park or whatever. If you get placed somewhere else, great, enjoy it, it may turn out to be better than what you had thought before or the other role you picked, but I'm worried I'll get stuck lugging baggage to rooms. I put it down cause I could do it for the time and enjoy the parks and I'm sure you get jacked arm muscles from it, but still, anywhere else. Even EPCOT!!! So yea, but thanks for the response lol!!

Awesome! Congratulations!

Now, just curious, how long has it been since your phone interview? The lady who conducted my interview said my invitation or rejection may come from e-mail OR snailmail. Just checking to see how much (if any) the turnaround is quicker for email.
