College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[ZeroToHero]

Argg.. has anyone else emailed Disney with school forms? I've emailed them twice (once on March 2nd and once on March 22nd) and they haven't gotten back to me. They said they will approve or deny them no later than two weeks after you send the forms. It's been two months... arg!

I had to email them again, because I really need to know before I get out of school if this will count for an internship or not. I only have one week left.

dude, my stupid school is taking forever to even decide if they will take it as an internship for credits D: plus I've been trying to call Disney everyday about getting my time changed to earlier in the day and not ONCE in the last month have I gotten a person or a phone call back. just goes to voicemail >:C anyone else having this problem?

 

[ZeroToHero]

When are you calling? Do all calls go to the same number in Florida? If so, the hours are 9 - 4 eastern time, so that's 6am-1pm your time.

If you have a different number, then I don't know what's up for you.

day twelve since my interview! haha. sadly, it seems like the amount of people getting accepted is dwindling everyday.

Yes! I sent an email to them about a week ago, I got a phone call from a woman , saying that they received my email and I would be hearing back soon. No word yet.

Really?? Ohhhhh noo What have you heard? 10 days since my interview... still waiting!

i haven't heard anything, but i haven't seen nearly as many people posting about getting accepted but its probably just because its almost the end of april. & i'm sure florida is a different story! i've heard that florida accepts many many more than anaheim. these days of waiting are kiiiilling meee haha.

^^^The rep on my campus said Disneyland is like 200, and WDW accepts around 6,000!

Ok my question--
I am arriving in Florida September 1...the very last day available. Do you think I will have ANY options for apartments? It would be ideal for the 8-person apartment...I REALLY don't want the 2-person...think that will be the only one left?

 

[SportsChick]

They supposedly hold apartments of each type for each arrival date. Get to check in early for the best chance. Good luck, I'm the opposite of you, I want a 1 BR apartment

The one bedrooms would most likely go first.

 

[AllisonMak]

^^Oh yeah? Thanks for the info.

Aw really? I just think the fewer roommates, the less likely I will find someone I "click" with haha.

I think Joanna said that only Chatham has the 4 bedroom?

 

[Joanna71985]

Correct. Chatham is the only complex with 4-bedroom apartments

How long do you have to wait in order to apply again after a rejection?

 

[krystina&thebeast]

How long do you have to wait in order to apply again after a rejection?

i'm pretty sure it is 6 months. i had applied for the program a couple semesters ago & got rejected & was told i had to wait six months to apply again

 

[WDW_lover_in_SC]

I actually think it's 6 months only because of the web based interview now that I've had some time to think it over. So you have 6 months from the web interview.

 

[rockaustin]

Ok what if you had a phone interview? When is the next recruitment? August?

 

[WDW_lover_in_SC]

Ok what if you had a phone interview? When is the next recruitment? August?

Yes I believe in August be I'm pretty sure everyone did both a phone and web interview.

 

[rockaustin]

That would stink if I had to wait till October to apply again because then I would still have less of a chance to be accepted because I missed two months.

 

[WDW_lover_in_SC]

Yeah that does suck. Are you trying for DW or DL?

 

[rockaustin]

Dw
