College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[DarthBob_2005]

From the housing policies:

Alcohol & Substance Abuse
The legal drinking age in Florida is 21. Under-age drinking, supplying a minor with alcohol, illegal drugs, kegs of beer and party balls, as well as disruptive or destructive behavior because of excessive consumption are all prohibited and can lead to termination from the program.

lmao Party Balls? what is that? like ping pong balls for beer pong?

I have no idea...makes me feel innocent.

party balls are also know as beer balls, and they are just that balls filled with beer. its like a ball version of a keg(a big barrel of beer if you dont know what that is) usually for smaller amounts of people has a tap and everything usually as much beer as a quarter keg. They are pretty stupid thats why you dont see them unless they are super cheap, your better of getting a 30 block

[MickeyGurl]

Hey I have a question... it might have been asked, but I am asking anyways... Where do we take our classes?

Hey I have a question... it might have been asked, but I am asking anyways... Where do we take our classes?

The classrooms at Chatham, Vista, and I believe Patterson.

 

[DisneyAfternoonKid]

Hey my recruiter is Jannah as well. I tried and had the same problem I finally got in tough with someone today and I guess she is no longer with them for whatever reason. I had a new recruiter, Rebecca, call me back and help me. She said she would be my recruiter now.

 

[MickeyGurl]

Hey I have another random question... which was prolly asked... but are there elevators in the apartment... if not can you request to be on the lower level of the apartments? With my asthma I don't wanna take any chances

 

[Berlioz70]

I'm 99% sure there are no elevators... but you can request for a specific floor. We requested floor one and got it no problem!!

Question about Costumes...

I think I saw this info in my purple folder. But women's sizes start at size 4 for costumes. I wanted to know do the sizes of the costumes coincide with regular clothing sizes or do you need to go up or down in a size. I'm a little worried because I fit a size 2 right now and I'd have to let them know ahead of time, a 4 might be too big.

You will not have to worry I'm sure. Most people have to go up at least 2 if not 3 sizes for Disney costumes.

I JUST GOT INVITED!!!

I was just so excited to see the invitation in my inbox this morning!

Now, I don't want to be one of those people who doesn't realize what an amazing opportunity lies before them, but there were a few things that bummed me out when I read the invitation.

First of all, I REALLY wanted the Fall Advantage season. Come on, who wouldn't want their Disney CP experience to last 7 months instead of 4? I don't have ANY plans for this summer, and have struggled to find any because I've been banking on getting the FA CP season.

So my question is, would it be worth it to e-mail my recruiter asking if there is any way I could be switched to the Fall Advantage season? What are the odds that this would happen? Has it happened to anyone else?

Also, I got invited into Custodial. While I've heard this is an awesome, independent job; this wasn't near to the top of my list. (I actually was never asked for my top choices during my interview) I have a lot of experience in Retail and stressed that I have very good cashier skills. I just feel that I would fit better in a Merchandise or QSFB role. Now I know that QSFB is the most common role, so do you think I should tell my recruiter that I would prefer this over Custodial?

While it is unlikely that they will be able to switch you from Fall to Fall Advantage because of space availability, it couldn't hurt to email your recruiter and ask. They definitely can't look negatively toward you for this because it only shows how excited you are to get there and get started! And as far as switching roles, again there are space limitations, but it never hurts to ask especially since QSFB is a role with so many spaces as is Custodial. I believe I have heard of someone being able to switch before they got down there, but don't quote me on that! haha. Good luck!

I've read through most of this thread, but I don't remember if there was an answer to this question.
Why does Disney want car insurance in your name? Is it a Florida law? Is it to discourage people from bringing cars?
I know it's part of growing up to get your own car insurance eventually, but if Disney was concerned about turning us into adults, they would require proof of health insurance.
Anyways, why does car insurance have to be in our name?

It has more to do with Disney wanting to make sure that you actually have insurance. If your name is not listed on your insurance card, all you need to do is get your insurance company to print out the complete policy so that it shows you are listed as a covered person on the policy and bring this with you to FL. If you forget it, you can always get it faxed there but it's just easier to have it with you when you on check in day.

Hey my recruiter is Jannah as well. I tried and had the same problem I finally got in tough with someone today and I guess she is no longer with them for whatever reason. I had a new recruiter, Rebecca, call me back and help me. She said she would be my recruiter now.

Hey how did you end up contacting someone? Just through the main hotline? Or email???

Jannah is my recruiter too, and reading that she is longer with them makes me think I should call and check on my application. I interviewed on Feb. 9th, and received a pending letter two weeks later. So it's been a while since I've heard anything..... I've been thinking about emailing her to check on it....and this has me wanting to even more. But now I don't know how!! haha. Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated.

[Goofster18]

Ok this is really upsetting!!!! Jannah is my recruiter or was, and I got accepted and all but I had put down like a preference for a park and such, does that get transferred? and who would I contact I haven't gotten a new e-mail or anyone, and it has been 4 weeks since Jannah first contacted me, I know that it said 4-6 weeks and they will contact me......HELP!!!! Do I call or something, wait, I don't know!!!
Have a Magical Day!!!

I just e-mailed the general program and told them the situation. I also let them know that I have really crazy hours and rather than bothering them if they could just have someone contact me at their convience I would greatly appreicate it. I had a new recruiter call me prolly within an hour and leave me a message with her availability. When I called her back she seemed already pretty well versed in whatever info they had on me and gave me great feedback. She also went over and must have fairly immediately spoken to entertainment as she said she would because she told me she had a meeting until 3:30 and I got a phone call being accepted from entertainment at 5 and they mentioned they had spoken to her. So for all you Jannah folks I'm sure your stuff has been tranferred already so unless you have a problem I wouldnt worry about it and rest assured the other recruiters on their game with us Good luck to all those waiting!

Hey just wondering. If I do the program will i loose student aid forever? my mother, the over dramatic woman she is, says if i do this I will lose my aid for good.

Erm.....no. You are more than welcome to reapply for Student Aid upon your return to school.

It is the stated aim of the Government Student Aid programmes in the United States to permit every willing student the opportunity to access Tetriary education, regardless of their age or social position.

If you have any questions, please contact the Federal Department of Education, the Student Financial Aid Office/Department in your state, and the Financial Aid office at your school. The Federal Department of Education provides Student Aid information at http://www.studentaid.ed.gov/

 

[MarinaAndCharlie]

You can reapply for financial aid, but I know at least with my loan, I can't go over six months without being at least half time enrolled in school (6 hours). If I go over 6 months of not being enrolled half time then I have to start paying my loans back then and continue to pay them off from then on. Call your loan institution or the FASFA people and ask them about your specific policy.

 

[MickeyGurl]

thank you guys. I have a very nervous mother and worried about me. She actually wants me to change my session but I don't. ugh.
