hi everyone! I'm getting ready to apply for the program but don't have a lot of time to sit down and do it. Does anyone know about how long it will take to watch the e-presentation and fill out applications. I have 2 midterms tomorrow so hopefully after that I should have some time. thanks!

Not too long. I would say about 30 minutes or so.

 

[CelticBelle]

Thanks! you always seem to have all the answers. What would we all do without you?

Aww, thanks. You're too kind.

 

[Dee/Belle]

Aww, thanks. You're too kind.

Tonight at dinner I was telling my mum about a question I posted and how I knew you would answer (I said there is this girl who knows all the answers) and she was like, "Joanna?" and I laughed because she is on the "family" section of the boards and knew who you were and that you always know the answers to everything



Another random thing, though...what size are the beds? I think they're twin or double but are they normal length or the long ones? Thanks!

Are you serious?! Oh man, that is crazy!

As for the beds, they are twin beds (unfortunately, because I sleep in a double at home). I am not 100% positive, but I believe they are XL twins.

 

[Dee/Belle]

Sweet. Thanks. I found some super cute bedding and it made me think to ask in case I do get accepted and see some more like it

 

[Joanna71985]

My bedding has been Disney bedding for my 3 programs. Silly, I know.

 

[Dee/Belle]

I want something exciting because I'm not going to see my apartment much except for sleeping so it has to be colorful

Exactly!

I keep seeing things about Traditions.. what exactly is that?

 

[Berlioz70]

While we're on the topic of bedrooms - I know it is frowned upon to use a lot of nails, but what exactly is considered "a lot?" I would like to bring framed pictures to hang above my bed area, what do you think the max amount of nails should be?

traditions is the process cps go through to recieve certain training (like sanitation, what to do if a guest has a disability), and tells you more about the program and about disney. it's condensed into 4 hours (seriously, not as bad as what it used to be), and you learn about what your role does. Traditions is when you get your ID, so it is VERY important to attend. Traditions is also considered your "first day of work."

that's just a whiff of what it is...

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe we weren't allowed to hang anything on the walls.

Oh sad - how did you decorate the walls??

Oh sad - how did you decorate the walls??

My roommate and I didn't get a chance to. She had these posters that you color in with markers that we were planning to put on the walls, but we didn't get to do that. So it's kind of strange, staring at blank white walls. I did hang and stick stuff on my side of the mirror, though!

They told us about this "no putting stuff on walls" rule at the housing meeting we had on Day 1 of check-in.

Also, this is kind of off-topic, but there are apartment inspections about twice during your program.

Thanks for the heads up!

I was looking at the 360 views of Chatham Square on the CP website http://www.wdwcollegeprogram.com/sap/its/mimes/zh_wdwcp/students/housing/housing_360_views.html does that top pink border come in all rooms - or is that something they brought?

No problem!

Oh, interesting - I never thought much about that until you mentioned it. I think that pink border is something the occupants of the apartment brought because my apartment didn't have that (neither did the other apartments I visited during my program).

Hmmm interesting - I wish I knew what they used to put the stuff on their walls. The last thing I want to do is make Disney mad at me for messing up their walls - but I love pictures!!
