College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

[Joanna71985]

Wow Joanna thanks for all your help and speedy response!

Monorails and Boats are just what I wanted to do! That's awesome. Hopefully there's someone on the boards who have done a transportation role...

So Joanna, how did you go about doing it 3 times? How did you take care of your college and all the time off?

You're welcome.

The first 2 programs were full-length programs (Spring 2005 and FA 2006). My school was great in letting me go down for both, and I actually got credits for both programs. My third program was just the summer (Summer 2007), so I didn't have to miss any school.

Good luck!

Now I think I may put transportation down as one of my options. There are too many interesting choices!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I definitely want to do transportation, but I need to find people who have done it, so they can share their experiences. Does anyone know anyone on the forum who has done it?

Well, that gives you a reason to go back!

Unfortunately, it's a one shot deal with me. I'm finishing college late December. And I'm not going back for my masters right away, so my hopes are to go down there, extend it out to a full year and then hopefully go full time, and basically see where it takes me, this is all pending I get in of course!!!

 

[Joanna71985]

That's exactly what I plan on doing (except I won't be leaving once the extension period is over). I want to work FT at Disney.

hmmm..well dude, we'll probably end up having to have the same hairstyle...we can just go in to get out haircuts the day before we head to florida

hahaha sounds good. I just want to make sure we're both accepted so we don't cut our hair for no reason

Joanna, what was the third role you did besides Character Attendant? Were you also in Merch?

It has been merchandise, character attendant, and custodial/character attendant.

Yep same for me. My ultimate goal right now is eventually work my way out to LA, to Touchstone or Walt Disney Pictures, my degree is in film and when I go back for my master's I'm going to get a degree in entertainment business, so I'm really hoping I can work with one of Disney's film companies one day. But I think the park's is a great place to start!!!

Oh that's awsome! That would be so much fun.

Joanna how did you like your custodial role? I know a lot of people say they enjoy it because of the freedom they get - but what about you? Would you ever do it again?

Specifically, what did you like/dislike about it?

I did enjoy the freedom. It was great being able to wander around the WS at Epcot (that is where I worked). It was very low-paced. And I got to interact with guests a lot. I wouldn't say no, that I would never do it again.

Now, the only bad parts were that in the beginning I was so sore/tired. But that went away after I was there for awhile. Also, the cleaning parts sometimes were not fun. But that was pretty much it.

Honestly, how bad are the bathrooms to clean? lol

Hi there, and welcome (again) to DIS. I can't answer the first question, but for the other 2:
2) Yes it can. You can be there for up to a year. Say you do FA 2008, you can extend up to May 2009.

3) I would give them 3-4 weeks, and then call if nothing has come. Good luck!

For the most part, they were really not that bad. I got used to them pretty quickly.
