I am never going to be able to make it til the Spring to apply. :(
 
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.

Sunday is actually "Service Industry Night" at the HOB. I don't know what the drink deal is...that was never the reason we went. Not that we didn't drink, but we went because that's where a large number of our friends went. Many of the internationals go, so we were always hanging out with our friends from Norway and the UK...and avoiding the crazy Brazilians!!! AHHH!!! We also had friends we met there who didn't work for Disney. Sunday night was the one night we could all hang out together--usually. It was a good time for us. The DJs would change...some weeks were better than others, but an adventure was always had :)

CM's over 21 get in for free w/ CM ID...under 21 get a discount ticket at the box-office w/ CM ID.

I am never going to be able to make it til the Spring to apply. :(

Awww :( I'm sorry you got delayed! Hang in there... You know we'll be here to help you through...

I know. I don't know what I would do without Facebook/my Disney message boards.:goodvibes

Pfff you don't need school! Join ussss join ussss XD

Oh I wish! But I can't miss anymore school. I've already missed 2 semesters.

...says the girl who mauled the mailman ;)

You could though... I can't remember why you had to switch? Will you be graduating this spring?

:rotfl: :rotfl:

I switched because of my remaining credits. I could have finished in Dec, but I would have had to rush home from Disney, take 2 summer classes in about 3 weeks or so, and then take 20 credits this semester. I decided to push everything back and spread out the credits (I am taking 17 this semester, but 3 are for ASL, which I didn't have to take. And I will be taking 12 next semester). It also allowed me to be able to relax in FL, and I was able to stay at AKL. So I now will be graduating in May instead. The good news is, it looks like I will be able to take a quick trip down in March.

I took ASL all through high school and I loved it! I bet you'll really enjoy it!

Also, I don't know if you saw this earlier...referring to the character pool.
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. :confused:

Thanks!

Oh I love ASL! This is my third semester taking it (I'm in 201).

As for the question, I'm not 100% positive. But I think you have to make a decision. Because I don't think you can go down without a definite role.

Ahh I see, so you have to hope they pull you within your 2 weeks to accept? That's harsh. Do you, or anyone else for that matter, know if you can reaudition a few weeks into your CP and switch roles to entertainment? I know they don't look well on transferring to a different role than you accepted, but maybe because they put you in the pool it would be special circumstance? Also, does anyone know if 5'1-5'2 is a range that fills up quickly? I guess if it isn't, I shouldn't worry about the pool!

No, you would have to make a decision before you check in. However, if you choose to wait, you also run the risk of other roles filling up. And no, if you choose a different role, you can't audition again (unless you are going to extend).

Also, 5'1-5'2 is a very common height range (it just happens to be my height range, as I am 5'2).
 
hi guys I'm from Italy and I'd like to apply to the international college program, they say I need CV (I know what it is) and also a cover letter, my question is : what is a cover letter? thank you in advance

A cover letter is a brief letter you attach to a resume addressing who the resume is too and why you want/qualify for the job. If you google cover letters you might come up with some good example templates to go off of.
 
omg. i know. i'm so excited. i think you should come visit me in vegas ;) but that's just me. haha.

if you drive to FL, you should stop in vegas after your fist day of driving :D

Omg I hadn't even thought of that! I would love to stop in Vegas!

Just use a few paragraphs...don't make it too long. Explain why you want the job, what qualifies you for it, etc. Look at a few examples online--that was a great suggestion, but keep it sincere to you.

For more information about the ICP/IP, look at this site. It has forums, but I don't know if people use them.

On another note...you live about 4.5 hours away from me! That's very interesting :) I've not met anyone on here who is in this general area (originally from Chicago) :)

Hey! I'm applying for the International Program too, I'm from the UK. A cover letter gives you the chance to show a bit of your personality and make you stand out. There are some great websites to help if you just google cover letter. Say why you want the job and why it would suit you and try to be unique - but NOT eccentric.

Oh and try and end with something memorable!

I sent my application today, I'm sooooo excited! Thanks to everyone who answered my previous posts (in particular Nell) they've been a great help! I'll let you know how it goes...

Fingers crossed and get wishing on those stars!

You're quite welcome! Hopefully, we'll see you around WDW next year :) Good luck! Do you know how long the application process for the ICP/IP takes on average?
 
I don't think I could try out for an entertainment role anyways because i'm too tall :(
