You know what I think it went through. I tried it about 10 min ago and it didn't cancel it. Will they e-mail me if they got it? or can I call them and see? :goodvibes

They will email you but you can also call them just to make sure
 
Yay, I had my interview tonight and it was amazing. my interviewer was Kathy and I don't think I could have done anybetter. I'm really excited. She said it takes 2 weeks to hear an answer? Hopefully it'll be a little faster. OMG i'm so excited. :woohoo: :goodvibes :cool1: :yay: :ccat: :goofy:
 
Also, I've heard about the bus system in WDW, but how is transportation in DLR? Is it too far to ride a bike or ride the bus? Is a Car a neccessity on the DLR? I mean its not too far from home, (I'm in Tucson) so its feasable to bring my car, but I would rather not deal with gas and insurance if I don't have to.

Hello,
The DLR is not far from the housing you will be staying at. Its only a few miles up the road. I have seen quite a few cast members ride their bikes and a lot more take the city bus. A car is not neccessary. I did bring mine though because I did not want to rely on the bus system to go to the store or wherever I need to go. It is just more convienent.
I have taken the bus to work a few times and it was fine and you do get an extra dollar for everytime you take the bus or carpool to work.

First, congrats on the interview!

The previous poster gave you some good information. For the DLR you really don't need a car. For WDW it sounds like it would be pretty necessary. That means I have to drive my car cross country by myself XD

Oh well, good self reflection time I guess...
 
I read a quick thing on disabilities paper work on here before but I can't find it or remember what it said.

When do you fill out this paperwork, when you apply or when you get to Florida? I'm hypoglycemic and I have thoracic outlet syndrome which means I can't lift very heavy things. Would those be something to put on the disabilities paperwork or just mention to my manager?


EDIT: I also forgot to ask about CP nametags. Do they still put your college on your nametag? Is it by itself or along with your hometown? I'm transferring from a Jr college to a university for the semester after my CP. I'll be accepted but not an actual student at the university yet because i'll still have another semester before I transfer (The semester at disney). Would I be allowed to put my new university?

Does anyone have a recent picture of their CP nametag?

I would ask about disability info when your interviewer asks you if you have any questions. I imagine this could be important for them to consider...moreso the TOS... It may affect where you will be placed--it may not, but they may want to know now so they can put you at the most suitable role from the beginning :) If not, they can tell you how to deal with it...

As for tags...when I did my CP, it was my uni. I'm pretty sure it goes by wherever you were a student at prior to, but that is another question to ask during your interview. That seems to change. When I applied in 2003 we could have Uni name or home town. When I went in 2007, it was just Uni name and we got no say...

It never hurts to ask though...Sorry no pics. My tag is in the Chicago area--far from here!

Do you have to put the town you're currently living in? I'd rather put where i'm originally from

My 2 week mark from my interview is on monday. I'd be really ok finding out on monday lol... GOOD LUCK TO YOU! lol it will be the longest couple of weeks of your life!
 
At WDW you get to keep your nametag. I don't know about DLR. You might be able to pick a different town, but as I said, in 2007, it was Uni name only for CPs. I'm not sure what the deal is now.

When you accept your offer, it will ask for the info then.

Good luck to everyone... hopefully you all hear something soon! :)

Aww man I really don't want a community college to be on my nametag XD
 
Does anyone know the CM discounts for the resort spas - specifically, the GF? I can't find it on the hub.
 
I'm in the program right now - and yes every CP gets their college listed on their nametag - it helps to identify who the CPs are. It'll be the instiution that you are currently enrolled in.

Oh man, that's gonna be embarassing XD
 
Do NOT be embaressed by a community college - over 50% of our country's college students attend a community college and it's one of the greatest educational resources our country has. I see a lot of community colleges on nametags so don't even think twice about it.

Thanks. I had to go to community college because I can't afford a major university yet but I still wanted to get credits. I guess i'm still a little embarassed about it because all my friends went off to big universities. I just don't want someone to be like "what college IS THAT??!" Haha, oh well. At least I won't graduate 40,000 dollars in debt when I can take core classes for cheap right? :)

Your blog is great btw! I'm hoping to be a character performer in the fall. I'm a terrible dancer though so I don't know if I could pass the audition XD

The only character performer roles i've heard of are the "friends of" roles. Can you be anything else?

I am in the same situation as you and I kinda felt the same way about having it on the tag. But it'll be alright, I was kinda hoping for a hometown as well but it doesn't really matter if you think about it.
