If you deny to live in housing do you pay for any of that?

Does the fact that my arrival date is not eligible for roommate matching say anything about the size of my arriving group? Why are some arrival dates eligible and others not?

 

[wdwislife]

just a question about CM's in general...

if you are a CM at WDW do you get a discount and/or in free at DLR, and vice versa?

Did you pick the very last day? That happened to me when I picked the very last day and then they sent me an email and asked me if I'd switch to an even later one that they added..

What is roommate matching? Is it a system that matches you up with other CPer's based on compatibility/arrival dates?

And you can choose your own roommates through facebook groups/threads on here too, right?

thanks, that's awesome!
I might be going to college in southern California, but do the CP in WDW, so it'll definitely be nice to be able to go to DL for free when I get back!

They let you know the name of 1 of your roommates...I assume it's based on compatibility? I wasn't eligible. But arrival dates for sure; you'll only live with people who get there the same day as you.

You could also arrange to room with someone you meet on fb/here too...arriving at the same time and such. I like to leave it up to fate.

Thanks!

I'm not sure what I'll do yet . I've had excellent luck with roommates when I've left it up to fate in the past, but then again, it would be kind of nice to choose people.

Would I be allowed to put a small band aid over my cartilage ear piercing? When I head down to work for Disney, it won't have healed up yet from getting it pierced (Gotta wait till I'm 18), which means I can't take it out or it'll close up. Btw, its only my left ear and my hair mostly covers it. Does this matter as much in entertainment/character performer?

Unfortunately, Disney Look is quite clear that you may not wear anything in a non-approved body piercing while working, even if it's covered up.,

You have to take it out and put it back in DIRECTLY after work to try and keep it from closing up, but while you're doing anything Disney it can't be in there.

I've known people to break disney look rules before and not get caught but....I wouldn't risk it.

Hi everyone! what can you all tell me about the application process itself? i'm currently in the process of it for fall 2011. ive sent in the application and i attend the presentation on february 16th. also, for attractions, if they select you to be an attractions host, do you get to select a preference as to what attraction you would like??

 

[AllisonMak]

^^^You can definitely mention what is your favorite attraction, but the decision is up to them.

Awesome, do you know of anyone that did that and were actually able to get it? Like what are the chances? Just curious, because if I don't make entertainment I definitely have a few attractions in mind!
