It think it ranges from 70 to 90 (something along those lines) a week depending on the size and location of where you're staying. It's deducted from your paycheck automatically except for the first week, and then they take double rent out of your second week. Not really sure why they do that XD

It's because you don't make enough to pay rent the first week, so they take out for both week 1 and 2 the second week.
 
No, because you're hardly working that week. Training doesn't really start until your second week.

what do you do the first week?
just orientation and get settled in?

DBF is planning on coming with me. He's going to have to cut his hair if he gets accepted (it's pretty shaggy) but how does it affect his chances of acceptance if he doesn't interview in dress code?

Here is the first week:
Day 1- check in and housing meeting
Day 2- find out the work area, and also sign up for any classes
Day 3- Traditions
Day 4-6- Start of training (first day varies for everyone).

For your BF, I don't think it will make a difference at the presentation (especially since 99% of interviews are done over the phone now). The recruiter at the presentation may say something, but it shouldn't make a difference in being accepted.

I would wait until he gets accepted to cut his hair. I'm not saying that he won't, but it would be awful if he cut his hair and didn't get accepted!
 
So my family is planning our vacation from January 2nd through January 9th and we're trying to accommodate for the program. Barring that I get accepted, we have to plan accordingly

How do I go about planning for specific arrival dates?

As there are several for both Spring and Spring Advantage, you really can't plan until you are accepted.
 
This is for all of the current or former CPs...If you are taking a Disney class (specifically one of the exploration courses) do you get the rest of the day off of work? I can't find the answer anywhere and I need to know ASAP because I am trying to plan a short trip home at the end of October!! Any help is much appreciated!!!!

Not always. On my first CP, I took one of the WDW classes. I did not have my class day off. I always worked after class (I always worked evenings).
 
I GOT A PHONE INTERVIEW!!

Doesn't sound like much I know, but not all IPs get them so XD

I'm really really excited, can anyone tell me what sort of questions they are likely to ask me on the phone interview??

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks x x x x:flower3:

Wonderful!!! I'm going to write to my friends today. Hopefully they respond. Sorry I didn't do it sooner. It's been a crazy and emotional week...

When is your interview for?

They usually try to find out why you want to do the program. I always get the question: What does Disney mean to you? You also get role-specific questions. They'll give you a situation and ask how you would respond. It's not difficult and you should be just fine. Be honest, be friendly, and remember to smile...they'll hear it! (Yes, that sounds crazy, but it's soooo true!
