Dw

I applied 2 months late and still got in easy at DW. So I don't think 2 months will hurt you too bad.

Alright, I'll keep that in mind. I'm gonna call my recruiter and ask if I actually have to wait 6 months.

Good idea and good luck next time.

 

[rockaustin]

Thank you!

If you failed the web-based interview, you have to wait 6 months. I got rejected for the spring program, around October, and reapplied for the Fall in February. If you passed the web-based interview, you're fine, you don't have to take that again for another 6 months. Right after you send in your application for the next program, you'll go right to a phone interview.

Ok I didn't have a web based interview. What about that?

 

[SportsChick]

The web based interview is for the CP

 

[rockaustin]

Ok well I passed it. Do I still have to wait 6 months?

 

[krystina&thebeast]

does everyone get an acceptance/rejection email? or do some people just get a letter in the mail?

No, you don't have to wait six months to apply again. If you decide to apply in six months time, you will have to take the WBI again. The scores for that test resets 6 months from the time you took it.

does everyone get an acceptance/rejection email? or do some people just get a letter in the mail?

I believe most people get a acceptance/rejection e-mail. But there are some that receive their letters without getting any e-mail.

 

[rockaustin]

Alright, that was what I wanted to know thanks!

Aww, congratulations! So jealous.

I've heard good things about Merchandise... It really depends on where you are. For instance, World of Disney at Downtown Disney can get ABSOLUTELY crazy. But Magic Kingdom has ridiculously long park hours, especially in the Emporium. Sometimes you might be pushing around the glow carts or things like that. There are so many options for Merchandise, really. You'll know right away whether you like it or not, but it's all about what you make of it. Keep a positive attitude and find ways to have fun with what you do! You'll enjoy it so much more, guests will as well, and no doubt your managers will notice!

Thank you, Carmen is it? Thats what your sig says so I hope your name is Carmen! Thank you so much! I'm really excited. I see you did the CP, where did you do yours at?

I would LOOOOOVVEEE to push around the glow carts! I wasn't sure about Merchandise at first, but the fact that there are a lot of options for Merchandise makes me happy! I would love to pick up shifts at different parks, push the glow cart around, be in the parks period!

 

[ihearrtsushi]

Has anyone taken the Creative class from Disney World while working as a CP? I was taking a look at the syllabus and was wondering if you were taught how to draw the characters or anything art wise.

Thanks in advance.

Yep, that's my name!

I worked at the Magic Kingdom doing Custodial, and it was fabulous.

Glow cart girls sure did seem to enjoy their jobs, so it MUST be fun! haha. And yeah, you can definitely pick up shifts anywhere you want. They'll show you how to check on the Hub to see where shifts are available.

Did you request to work in a specific park or anything? I told them MK was my favorite AND that that's where I wanted to work, and well, I got it!

 

[mollay]

Speaking of Merchandise,do you stay at the same spot all the time then? Like you said the glow carts... aside from maybe picking up extra shifts, I'd be at the very same store/cart/location for probably my entire CP? (That is, if I get accepted and if I get merchandise. hahah)

 

[Berlioz70]

For Merchandise you are assigned a location... which can be one specific store, or can be a group of stores. But as mentioned, you're globally trained so you can pick up shifts at other locations.

For example:
World of Disney
Pin Traders
Tomorrowland (which is all Tomorrowland stores)
Adventureland (which includes the Glow Carts and all of Adventureland)
