College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[Goofster18]

I'm not sure I would go and ask, so you don't look you didn't do your research (like don't go ask). But if you stop by and ask a few questions, pick up the packets, then at least you see what Disney Casting looks like and you get a cool packet. I thought it was cool, but either way it doesn't really matter. It's cool to see the inside, we took like 50 pics just there hahahahaha.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if there are any specific procedures for my daughter bringing her car down? The car is in my name--does that matter? Is there anything specific she needs to do? She's decided she wants to bring her car now so we would like to be prepared if there is anything we need to do. She has her car insurance card and I spoke with our insurance company and all is ok there. But is there anything specific that Disney requires?!!!

I believe the only thing is that your daughter's name has to be on the insurance card. Even if it's in your name, her name also has to be on there.

Oh, and jessaboo, you can't apply for the CP at Casting. Just enjoy your vacation time!

Thanks for your response! I appreciate it! Her name is not on the card at the present time so I will contact my insurance company!

Speaking of when do they start hiring for Spring, I was wondering, does Disney give us any warning of when they're gonna start hiring or is it the sorta thing where one day BAM it's up on the website?

if you're subscribed to the e-mail notification for the disney college program, they will send you an e-mail letting you know when the apps will go up.

Is it better to apply in person at the casting agency? I'm saving for a vacation, and if I'm already going to be down there, I might as well... right?

unless you want a FT/PT position, i'd go to casting and apply. but as for the cp, you'd have to do that either online when the apps come up or go to a school presentation.

So Tomorrow-- er, today, as it's 2 AM lol-- I'm attending the college presentation at my local universaty just to watch it and ask questions... I know it's pretty dang straight forward seeing as I'm not even applying for Fall 09, but is there anything I should know/think about going in, and any questions you think that I should ask that only they would know???

 

[disney&me]

Thanks for the well wishes guys!

The interview went pretty well. I smiled so hard my face hurt! There was actually a Disney recruiter there who came over from the US so I got to do my interview with her, so get to skip the phone interview part.

She said we would find out in 3 weeks.

It's going to be a verrry long and nervous wait!

I got a small white envelope in my mailbox today and about had a heart attack....

Luckily its a pending letter saying that they will let me know by June 1...thats a long time away, but at least its not a no....they really need to change the color of the envelope for the pending letters

Kate - I got a pending letter in the mail yesterday too! It also scared the life out of me! I just kept thinking, "Aaaaaaaah! Bad things come in small envelopes!" I don't know if I can wait until June 1st to hear! Too long!

maybe disney really should change the envelope color for the pending letters. then at least you'll know it's a pending letter and won't get some huge heart attack when you see it.

Does anyone have the links to any really good CP blogs? Full ones, not the ones who haven't gone yet (although I do love those and am looking forward to all the posts while they're on the program!).

I'm reading sarbruis's second blog, his custodial one. He's really informative, but his tone is off-putting. He's really bitter and negative about everything. Ugh, I just can't read it anymore.

So, any links for at least semi-positive blogs?

Here's mine, if you would like to read it (I started it in 2007, for my third CP, and kept it up ever since):

Could I get the link to your blog? I'd love to read it.

 

[BabyPiglet]
