College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

[razzery]

hey everybody!! finally the time has come and i can apply for the cp and to be a pi!! it took a lot of convincing of the parentals, but here's my big chance! i'm a marketing major and would really love to do one of the pi's but i know how ridiculously competitive they are so i also wanted to apply for the cp...i was wondering if you apply and are accepted for the cp, how long you have to accept the offer?? pi's don't hear until nov. 28th, but i wanted to get the process going for cp as soon as possible...if someone can help me out i'd really appreciate it!!

thanks!!

good luck to everyone out there applying!!

I believe they ask you to accept or decline your offer within 2 weeks.

I believe they ask you to accept or decline your offer within 2 weeks.

That's correct: You have two weeks to accept or decline your offer, so if you know that you want to go, accept. If as time goes on, you get offered a PI, then you can always call CP Recruiting and deal with that. It's not such a big deal...
Explain to them during the interview for your CP that you are a PI applicant though...

whew, for a second there I thought you said the "Professional Internship closure"

I almost died after realizing you meant the Pleasure Island closing.

EEEK! Sorry, Joe! Definitely meant Pleasure Island...haha. The stupid Disney abbreviations. Back when I first started looking into the CP, we had the CP and the "Advanced Internship, or AI"... Things have been renamed and now I forget that PI can mean both! No worries about the PI's you want though...after the end of the month, the other PI will be a piece of Disney history. I couldn't care less, aside from Adventurers' Club and Comedy Warehouse...

Good luck!

Haha I went to get the mail today, even though I knew it the packet wouldn't be there I was still hoping, and I was rushing over and the mail man wasn't finished and I think I scared him XD I was like "I'll come back later!!"

Anna...don't attack the mailman! He might call the pound on you

I wish you werent in Germany and that you could come visit sometime this week and go to the Adventurers Club

I had my phone interview 2 weeks ago and the interviewer said that i would be recieving an invitation to the audition. When should I expect to recieve this? Is it an email or U.S. mail? I'm getting kind of nervous because I sent an email to dcp last week with a change of address and they never replied so I don't know if they recieved it. I just don't want to miss anything...

Me too, my friend...me too I'll miss out on a farewell "Kungaloosh!" *sigh*

I did hear a rumor that it might be moved to DAK, in time, as an entrance to the proposed 'Night Kingdom"... we'll see if any of that actually come to fruition. I hope they bring it back somewhere...

XD They'd never catch me! I'm the master of stealth! Pff yeah right i'm the clumsiest person I know haha.

All this talk about PI and Adventurer's Club is making me sad I went to PI once when I was five but I was too small to do anything. I always told myself I would go and have fun there when I got older and now it's gone!

haha...

Yeah, AC and CW were great... The clubs did nothing for me. If we wanted to "go out", we'd got to the HOB on Sunday night with the internationals. It was always a great time. I went into one of the clubs with a friend from Norway one night...we were bored, wandered around, and left. It was a great idea when it opened, but the dance clubs at PI were only frequented by CPs... I don't blame them for closing it in lieu of something more productive. AC and CW were always packed though, so it's sad that they will be lost--even if it does only end up being temporary...

If you get put into the pool, you stay there until you get pulled. If you don't, you have to re-audition again. Also, if you are put into the pool for the CP, you have to make a decision by the time you go down.

And no, you don't need to bring those to the CP auditions. It is not necessary.

What do you mean by make a decision? Decide if you want to be in entertainment or take a different role? If you decide to stay in entertainment, do you still get sent down as a part of the program and you just don't work until they pull you, being responsible for your own rent? or am I completely misunderstanding you... haha.

Hello everyone! I cant believe I didnt find out about this site sooner. Ok so anywas I am doing the program at the dlr and I was wondering how bad would it look if i quit the program. Like will it follow me my whole life or what? Like will it really effect me in the future? Im not saying that I am going to quit but I am thinking about it

It certainly can...and likely will, depending on what you plan on doing as a career. Take a look at this thread. It will give you a bit more information about what to expect if you quit. There is also a link to all of the companies Disney owns and operates--if you quit, you will essentially be blacklisted from ALL of them. If you are TERMINATED, it is even worse.

Take a look and if you have more questions, please come back and ask...

Why are you considering quitting anyhow? Where are you from? Perhaps we can help with the situation Good luck...hopefully, you'll hang in there...

Do they have local bands at House of Blues on Sunday nights or something? And another question do CM's get a discount on tickets at House of Blues?

No, Sunday night at the HOB is CM Appreciation Night = free drinks until like 10 or midnight. I never went so I'm not really sure. I was more of a Howl at the Moon half off drink kind of girl. More entertaining.

Man I am sooo tired of school, I really need to do this CP!

 

[cristielo]

All the stuff that I see that disney owns is all film and television and things that have to do with disney and I am not interested in doind anything like that for a career. So will it effect me any other way if I quit?

Among other things, if other employers in the future were to ask Disney, they would say that you have a No Rehire status (one of the few things they CAN say under the law).

Most employers would probably go from there and wonder why you have been blacklisted for rehiring at one of the largest companies in the country.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to quit?

Also, quitting any job looks bad. Any time you apply for ANY job ANYWHERE they will ask you where you last worked and why you quit.

It's pretty bad. You get a Restricted Rehire, and it would be really hard to work for any of the Disney companies.
