Does anyone know how many cable outlets each bedroom has?

In Chatham there was only one cable outlet in the living room. If you wanted cable in the bedrooms you will need to get a splitter and a chord that will reach to your room.

ok sooo i'm starting to freak out just a little bit. i though i was anxious for auditions...but waiting for a final decision is SOOO much worse! it's been 3 weeks since my audition, 1 week from the big NO from entertainment, and i'm still waiting for my application to be reconsidered. now i'm starting to get worried about canceling my housing license. i hope i get my final decision before my deadline.

Good luck Carissa. Hang in there.

Hey there everyone. I never got a response to this post under the Spring '08 thread so I thought I'd try here:

As I had said, I have had to change my role from attractions to hospitality due to medical reasons. However, when we all got the e-mails for the pay rates I was still considered to be in attractions. I have not received any more information as far as what the rate for hospitality was.
Therefore my question: Does anyone know what the pay rate for hospitality is?

 

[Joanna71985]

I don't know if anyone knows yet. The pay rates are being changed in Jan.

 

[**Disney_Princess**]

Everyone got e-mails about what the new rates were, but they are all different depending on your role. So the e-mail I received was for attractions and I wondered what the hospitality rate was because I changed my role after I had already gotton the e-mail.

not many ppl get hospitality unless you have a GOOD reason for doing it such as its your major or you have past experience in working in hotels (thats what I was told at least). So I don't think this group is large enough that someone would have hospitality. Do you have facebook? There is a group for the college program spring 2008 and I know of a few ppl that have hospitality. Check that out, I'm sure they can help you out more. If you have any ?s about it let me know.

You had to ask Disney to change your job due for medical reasons, why not follow up with them about your rate?

So what are the first few days like? When do you begin working?

 

[Joanna71985]

So what are the first few days like? When do you begin working?

Day 1 is when you check in, get housing assignments, housing ID, and all the stuff.

Day 2 is when you find out your work area/location and sign up for classes (if you are taking any).

Day 3 is Traditions (yay for work ID).

Then you usually start training Day 4-5.

Thanks Joanna for the update!

This may seem like a silly question - but do the PI's get to take classes like CP's do? Is there a limit on the number of classes?

I think attending an audition has something to do with a long wait. Because I had to wait for awhile after my audition too.

I attending an Audition and had a very long wait. I went to the presentation on my campus September 17th, had my interview on the 18th but yet my audition wasn't until October 26th. After my audition it wasn't until 13 days later did I get notification that I had been offered a position as a Character Performer (I didn't get an e-mail just a white packet).

Yeah. In 2006 I interviewed in early Feb, auditioned March 30, and got my letter almost 3 weeks after that. So overall about 2 months.
