College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[Wonderlandmom]

My DS is a freshman, got accepted for fall CP. I think he has decided it would be better in his case to wait until his Jr or Sr year. Will they hold it against him if he turns the position down? Will he be able to try again? It is for QSFB which was not really something he wanted to do. He is doing SO well in school and hates to take the semester break at this point. But he is torn, of course!

He did this without much thought nor research, so we are rather clueless on everything.

No, they will not hold it against him if he turns it down. Yes, he will be able to try again.

Thank you! He really had NO idea he would be accepted, thought it would be good practice for later. Should he call or just decline online if he decides to turn it down? I know NOTHING about the program. I would have studied up had I known this would happen. He needs to join this forum!

If he decides to decline, he can just do it online.

I applied for the Fall Advantage Program '10. I had my interview last Friday April 16th at 1pm. It went pretty well, I got asked a lot of attractions questions.

Question. If I get accepted for the Fall Advantage, can I change it to Fall?

You will probably have to e-mail and/or call and see if that is doable.

Ok so I have a question I don't have my actual Social Security Card given to me at birth. So dead beat stole it when he broke into our house. But I have a replacement card. Am I going to have any trouble checking in?

I don't think you'll have an issue. Mine has a name change (my step father adopted me, and I took his last name) so I don't have my original card either. Heck I'll be getting a new one again next year after I get married, since my name will change again

 

[ZeroToHero]

The replacement card has the same name and number as your original card, so you should be fine. It doesn't look any different, it's just a new card, right? Blue paper?

And if you really feel like that's an issue, just bring a passport instead.

Haha don't have a passport never left the country but yes it's just a regular card so I think it will all be ok!

 

[ZeroToHero]

Yep, sounds good then.

Does anyone know what the showkeeper role is? I had never heard of it until I watched some persons vlog on youtube. In her case, she was rejected from character performer but hadn't checked anything else off so she was put in that role. What are your duties in that role?

 

[ZeroToHero]

That's custodial... it's the Disney term for it. Like Housekeeper = Mousekeeper.

You're keeping up the show's appearance!

more than likely, custodial. That is my only guess.

 

[AliSW]

So, the roommate matching thing is optional? or do you do that and then find other people too if you want?

If you don't want to find your own roommates you will be roomed with someone. But if you want to try to meet people to room with then you could have a chance to room with them. So it is optional but it helps your chances if you already have people you want to room with.


Another question from me now. Is buzzed hair ok for the "Disney Look"?

Showkeeper is a term for custodial, as others said, and the place I've heard it used is at Downtown Disney.

It's also used at DHS

You keep the streets/restrooms clean, emptying garbage cans, lots of guest interaction, and so on

Any help?

Another question from me now. Is buzzed hair ok for the "Disney Look"?

On the Disney Look info section about the CP it says:

Hairstyling
Following are the Disney Look guidelines for hairstyles:
Hair must be neatly cut and tapered on the back and sides, forming a smooth, symmetrical appearance so that it does not extend beyond or cover any part of the ears or the shirt collar. The overall style must be neat, natural, and balanced proportionally.
A shaved head is permitted, as well as a very short military-style cut.

I'd call a buzz cut a military-style cut, but I think that's something to ask a recruiter just to be on the safe side.

here's where I found it:
