College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

[bgirl781]

I am a character attendant. Here are some questions that could be asked:
*What would you do if a kid was being rough with the character?
*What would you tell a guest if the line to the character was closed?
*What would you tell a kid if they asked you why ___ can't talk to them?

What would you do in the first case? Because I honestly have no clue.

For why they don't talk, would it be good to say it's because they actually speak mouse, and so you wouldn't be able to understand them anyway, without the extra magic the movies use to translate for them?

for character attendant I was also asked about "character integrity" but I forget the question

For the person who posted about being an avid reader, I actually work at a Barnes and Nobles, and although I'll be taking a leave of abscence, my discount should still work while i'm down in Florida so we shall see. I'd love to have an easy place to go to while i'm down there to chill out for a while though.

Ooo lucky!
For whatever reason I can't seem to get a job there...Only amusement parks and fast food places will hire me right now haha
Guess I am going to renew my B&N card then since I should be able to get some use out of it.

For me, what I do depends on the age of the person. If it's a little kid, I tell them that we don't want to hurt our friend and we have to be gentle with them. If it's an older kid or an adult (definitely someone who knows better), I tell them to please be more gentle with the character.

For the speaking question, I have a couple of different ones. I either say they have to save their voice for the parade/show (like Mickey for Dream Along with Mickey), or I tell the person that since the character sees so many people, they wouldn't know how to speak that many languages. But they love to give hugs instead.

So I have my interview in an hour, and I was really surprised at how many people responded and wished me luck! So thanks! Also there were some really good questions presented with answers so I have an idea of what to expect more, so my mind is a lot more at ease now

I'm nervous, but trying to relax and channel the nervousness into more excitement!

I'm probably just more nervous about getting accepted...which I am really hoping for!!

Thanks for all the advice!

Yes, the people are really great here and eager to help

I was definitely less nervous about the interview...but I am just like you...really nervous about getting accepted! It's been two weeks since I interviewed, and I'm growing evermore anxious. The first day was torture, but then I calmed down. The first two weeks weren't too bad, but now, that I could feasibly be getting my letter soon...I'm getting anxious again.
They should have a support group for this

quick question-

Someone on a different thread said that if you were planning on do the college program you had to take off a semester...

is this true? because i thought that you could take some classes while you are doing the CP and they could be transfered into college credits if youre college/university is willing to do so?

im just a little confused

you can take classes while one the CP. disney will offer and allow you to take up to 2 classes with are taught by disney leaders and accredited by the American council on education for 3 credit hours each

The internship program itself is also accredited for 6 hours by ACE.

there is also the option of taking classes online through your university or another university.

One of the former campus reps from my school earned 18 hours on her CP utilizing both the disney classes and the online classes through our uni.

you have to leave college for a semester to do the college program
while you're there, they have classes you can take. your college may or may not give you transfer credit for them when you get back.

edit: wow you beat me to it

Exactly. Unfortunately my college doesn't wanna give me credits for the classes but they are giving me 6 credits for the internship itself.
