College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

[Jules76126]

I just wanted to say that Disney is not on schedule and none of the packets have been mailed out you. They said they would start mailing them out sometime next week after Labor Day. The only reason I know is that someone from the college program office called me today to talk about my rehire status and she mentioned that nothing was mailed out yet.

Thanks for letting us know!

And I love the quote in your sig, the one from Hook. It's one of my favorites<3

Also, there is no way to know what date you will be going down (because there are several check-in dates) until you get the letter and can accept online.

Not surprising... I don't think they ever go out before then anyhow. The lottery was more of a joke on my part. Apparently not funny in the least...haha. That's what delirium and insomnia do to you!

And no, you won't know exact dates until acceptance, but odds are a majority of these people will go down in January...

So is the arrival date in the physical letter, or is it when you go to accept the offer on the site?

When you get your letter it gives you a username and password to get onto the site so you can reject or accept your invitation. If you choose to accept they give you a list of a few different arrival dates that you can choose from.

Hmm that's interesting. How about...THE SOONEST DAY POSSIBLE!!

It is on the website, when you go to accept/decline.

Also, the earlier dates go to Spring people, and later dates go to Spring Advantage people.

Oh no! I'm doing Spring Advantage so now I have to wait longer!!

Oh well, i'm going to stay all year XD I'm so excited!

Do you know what role you want this time Joanna?

Hopefully performer. But if not, then character attendant again.

I thought Spring started up in March?

 

[Joanna71985]

No. Spring is Jan-May. I believe the Spring Quarter program starts in March.

I'm sure you'll get it.

Also, I was looking at your sig and I saw all the hotels you've been to. My mom and I were planning at staying at the Allstar Music for our short trip in October but i'm a little worried about the quality. I saw that you stayed at Port Orleans. I keep wanting to upgrade to the French Quarter!
Would you recommened that hotel?

 

[Jules76126]

Actually I did finally get some answers. Everyone was really vague at first and telling me not to worry it was a very common process but I am worried. This is my lst chance to do the college program since I will be starting law school next fall. But evenually someone from higher up called me (persistence pays off) and she said that the reason is because someone enter my departure date wrong. I left in August 2007 and they put October 2007 so I technically left early for school (voluntary leave) but in actuality i never did because i ended my program when I was suppose to and was never scheduled after my departure date.

So I have two options. A. I can get in touch with managers in my old area sicne they are the ones who put the restriction on my file and get it cleared up. Or B. i can wait for the rehire paperwork to come in the mail, submit a letter and my completion certificate with it and then hopefully they will see that it is a mistake. I am trying to do option A first but if not than i will just have to wait longer.

So all of you that are upset about waiting. Try getting your rehire papers in two weeks then waiting another three weeks for them to process adn then hearing back. Thats a long time.

I sure hope so. My next audition will be my 5th. I really want to pass so much.

I love Port Orleans!! My family has stayed there several times (both at FQ and Riverside). I definitely would recommend staying there.

I thought it looked really nice. The coronado springs looked nice too.

Wow...that's strange. I'm glad you figured out what the problem was though. At least you'll be able to fix it. Hopefully your managers will take care of it for you. Even if you have to wait, you know it won't prevent you from getting rehired--that's most important!

Where are you hoping to work this time?

 

[Jules76126]

Well I definitely want to do attractions again because it was so much fun. So I told them that I wouldnt mind going back to Epcot. It is my favorite park and loved riding the bus with everyone from all the dfferent countries. I also said that I wouldnt mind going back to Spaceship Earth since last time I was there it closed for rehab right before I went home and it would be cool to work since it has reopened. But I am open to working somewhere else and i mentioned that as well. Basically I just want to get accepted.

 

[jusTine87]

I haven't been on these boards in a while, but I missed them, so I'm back.

I was accepted in to Fall 08 CP for Costuming, but I had to turn it down (hardest thing I've ever had to do) because I was transferring schools and it just wasn't possible. I have to wait until January to apply for next fall. I really want to audition to be a character performer. That's my dream. But I'll do anything they take me for!

In the mean time, I just like to talk to fellow Disney fans. All I do is sit around and read blogs of people that are down there. I'm so jealous!
