[Amanda08]

Your ID is your ticket... so yep, you can get FPs.

Oh awesome! Thanks!

I'm excited! I have my phone interview at 8!! i should totally be sleeping right now but I cant...

I do have a question tho, I have lots of past experience with being a "friend" to the characters, does that help my chances at possible being in the character part?

 

[Berlioz70]

It will help you get an invitation to an audition. But as far as becoming a character, it's solely based on the audition, past experiences are not considered.

well I just got off the phone with my college interview, it was the strangest thing I've ever done... They were asking me questions like "do you like pancakes?" and "how is the weather right now?" and things about socks and art patterns : it was really awkward.... I totally wasn't expecting the questions. I feel I answered them well but am worried, anyone else have strange questions asked?

Well, I don't have my interview until Friday, so maybe I have no business answering this question. But the weird questions might have been to see how conversational you are and how well you perform under pressure. Just an idea. Hope you did well!

Interesting I've never heard of that being done..were you asked CP specific questions as well? The intention was probably to make you feel awkward and what response you would give, sometimes guests have awkward things to say. (Like what the person above me said!)

 

[gunner52589]

Well, I may not have phrased it as well, but I was trying say essentially the same thing.

 

[Cesilie]

yea, they also asked things like "how do you react when something bad happens" and what I thought a team was, in my work experience have I ever made someone feel special (which i have fersure) and then stuff like if i was willing to work with a lot of people on a day to day basis and if i would like to be part of attractions that I would "guide". the only ride I can think of in disneyland that has a "guide" for a ride is Jungle Cruise (which I would LOOOOVE to be a skipper!) and she was pretty interested in the fact I have volunteered 7 years to work at a place 3 hours from where i live every week. She kept asking questions about that and how I felt with narrations and such (i work at the monterey bay aquarium lol). I told her i was totally comfortable around lots of people and actually preferred it. I feel like I did well with my responses because I was expecting weird things, but not something like pancakes and socks. My dad thinks it was part of a personality thing because he said people who would've said "white socks" are seen as people who aren't willing to be a little crazy and I guess you have to be willing to be a bit crazy to work at disney

I dunno, I really hope I make it in! This is something I've wanted for a while, and I tried to let the interviewer know that. so we'll see... cross your fingers for me!

 

[gunner52589]

Of course, good luck!

I was wondering if I needed to buy a ironing board and iron or if there's already one in the apartments....?

You can borrow one from the clubhouse

You can borrow one from the clubhouse

Oh, okay. Thanks

 

[Anarnee]

I just finished my interview (Nice to meet everyone by the way, I'm Tiffany, I'm new here!)

I was just wondering how many of the 3-4 weeks did it take you to get your reply? I'm so excited, my interviewer, Brian, was very nice! XD though I'm a little nervous that I should have expanded on some things...

OTL

I'm confident though! I hope I'll be seeing everyone there! XD

OH! I was also curious, would someone link the Facebook page? I've seen people talk about it, but I haven't been able to find it.

 

[ZeroToHero]

It took me over 4 weeks, but I was an anomaly it seems.

And here is the link:

hey, just had a question for anyone who can answer.
when i have my interview can i express that either the
fall advantage or fall program is fine with me, i just want to go period lol
either time frame works for me, so should i just say i'm applying for both programs?

any help would be greatly appreciated, thank youuu

 

[lala88]

they ask you what you would prefer and you can say either. She asked me and I said Fall then she asked if FA was the only thing available, if I would be okay with that and I said yes. I got Fall. I have heard of people who have said that they are fine with either and whatever is needed is what they will take!

 

[Cesilie]

strange, they didn't even ask me if I wanted FA or F at all!! lame...

i'm beginning to think I didn't do well with my interview since it seems everyones seemed to go better than mine

My interviewer didn't ask me what season I wanted either. I just called as soon as I could (my interview was a Friday night so I had to wait til Monday!) and told them which season I preferred. And everything was fine. Believe me, I was getting worried too because I hadn't heard of another interview in which the interviewer forgot to ask what season an applicant wanted. It all turned out fine though

 

[Cesilie]

ah yay! thats good to know!

haha, i took mine on a friday night too, and OH I did the WDW friday too!! LOL smart me!

well thats good to know :3 thanks

 

[Berlioz70]

I'm pretty sure if you do not preference a season then they assume fall.
