Hey y'all. Does anyone know if there are certain roles that are generally given solely to Spring or Fall Advantage participants?

It seems like everyone I've seen who has been accepted for Bibbidi Bobbidi is an Advantage. I am doing Spring, and BBB was my #1 choice. I am extensively qualified for that role, having worked at "Sweet & Sassy" ((Google it)) for over a year. But I didn't get it. However, a lot of other girls with no experience whatsoever have gotten put there. Any ideas? Just wondering/hoping if it might have something to do with the fact that I'm regular Spring VS Advantage.

I know that BBB is on a first come first serve basis so I guess yes Advantage semester people would have...well and advantage on the job.

One of my friends who worked with me in attractions requested the BBB for her extension into spring and got it without an interview or anything. When they announced extension role options they said they needed people for BBB so maybe that made a difference.

The apartment comes with...

Living room- couch chair coffee table and a tv stand table
Kitchen/Dining-Pots pans forks spoons cups bowls plates...refrigerator microwave stove and dishwasher dining tables and charis
Bedroom-Bed night stand and dresser

Of course the bath rooms are full. You would have to bring a TV or a room mate would.

thank you!!! is the closet big enough? should i bring like those plastic drawer thingys they sell at walmart?lol

 

[WDW_lover_in_SC]

It depends I lived in Vista and my closet was big enough for me and my roomie easy...but with us both being guys we don't need as much space...I would suggest bringing as much storage stuff as you could.

question... My school told me today that they may say no if disney calls because i go to a Christian school and WDW supposes gays and my school doesnt AT ALL i go to liberty if any of you know what that is and who started it can they say no for that? i mean if worse comes to worse i am doing online classes at my commuity college i could always get them to swich the school right?

I don't think your school can tell you that you can't do the program because WDW supports gays, I'm pretty sure that's discrimination and can get them in trouble - just tell them you're taking a leave of absence. Do you need to get the credit?

And do they know that WDW also does Night of Joy? A weekend all about Christians and their god?

ETA: I'm sorry, I just realized that question was a few days ago - I've been working weird hours and haven't been on much. My bad.

I don't think Disney calls the school after you are accepted. Is there any way you can get your school to put in writing the real reason why they don't want you to go? As OP said they can in no way, shape, or form tell you that you cannot go. They can only refuse to accept your credits. You can take a leave of absence or take some online classes while down there if possible. I too am a Christian and was thinking of going to Liberty and while they may not be supportive of some Disney practices, I know lying and acting out of hatred is not high on God's list either.

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts College Recruiting communicates a constantly-updated list of students invited to participate to each institution.

If the institution indicates that a student does not meet their requirements to participate, the College Recruiting team will contact the student privately to inform them that they may not participate and revoke the Offer of Employment previously extended.

But she meets all the requirements. The school just does not personally want her to go because Disney supports LGBT choices, which the school has no say whatsoever in the matter.

I would say wait until you get here and then start buying stuff. There's an IKEA really close, Walmart, etc. and you'll have plenty of time your first week to buy whatever you might need. My roommate ended up buying extra storage stuff, but I didn't bring enough stuff to need it.

I live in a Chatham 2 bedroom. Our closet is really tiny, but the other bedroom has a really huge walk-in closet with tons of shelves and stuff. My roommate and I make do with our closet (and we called dibs on the hall closet) because there's pros and cons to each- our closet is smaller, but we have a separate bathroom/closet entry. The other bedroom is set up so you have to walk through the bathroom to get to the closet, a pain if your roommate is showering or something. Also since our bathroom has two doors and opens into the hall, we get better air circulation and our room isn't as hot as the other bedroom.

I was on the very last regular Fall arrival group, and I knew of at least one person that was still placed in BBB. I don't think it has much to do with when you apply, it's more about where they need people the most. I was assigned to merch even though it wasn't on my role checklist. I was also hoping for BBB, since I worked for three years in child care, but for the most part I've really enjoyed my role in merch.
