College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[Berlioz70]

What kind of jewelry is acceptable for Traditions? I know we have to be in the 'Disney Look', but are there any acceptions (like necklaces, bracelets, etc)?

Disney Look allows a necklace and a bracelet for non-costumed CMs, what kind of exceptions are you talking about?

This might be a stupid question but if we're wearing peep toe shoes like that for traditions, can we have nail polish on? I know it's not ok for finger nails but not sure about toes.

You can wear polish (fingers and toes), it just needs to appear natural; so no bright neon colors and they should be consistent against the hands or the feet.

I wear a light pink to work everyday. F&B cannot wear any polish.

Ok, that's all I needed to know. I was just wondering because I know while at work you're only allowed one ring on each hand and stud earrings for girls; I just didn't know if we were allowed more than that for Traditions. Thanks!

Aw man, I have bright pink nail polish on my toes. I guess I'll have to take it off for Traditions.

Okay great. And I know they always ask people who do not check off QSFB why, and if you have a genuine reason why you don't want that role, is that ok? Like, do they favor people more who are willing to do that role? I worked in that sort of industry for 4 and 1/2 years and it just wasn't something I was happy with.

It's not a problem saying no to QSFB. I did for my last CP, and I got my second choice (attractions).

I'm just curious, If I were to take an art class that is worth 3 credits at a community college would that meet requirements for Disney?

I don't think so.. My girlfriend is a mechandise CP and she couldn't wear the Angel necklace I got her from Kay's.

Merchandise is a costumed role, so it does not follow the same rules I posted or Traditions.

All you need to apply for the DCP is to be taking one college credit. It doesn't matter what class it is, as long as you are, in some way, shape or form, enrolled in college. So you should be fine.

Hi Everyone. I'm more of a lurker than anything else... LOL! But I'm writing because I have a question that I'm having difficulty finding the answer through all these pages. Can someone give me an estimate as to when are the last possible weeks to apply for Fall and Spring? I want to know if the latest to apply for Fall would be in April or May and when it would be in Spring... etc.

Thanks so much. It's greatly appreciated.

 

[Berlioz70]

There is no official "end" to the recruiting season as it's a first come first serve application process. Once the progam is full, they stop accepting more individuals. However, most pending individuals are contacted in early May, so I'd say the end of April is probably the tail end of having a shot.

Spring would be end of November - ish.

Hey guys! I've got a load of questions for you, but don't worry...I won't ask them all now (I have to leave for work very soon, and don't have time to look through the thread properly). Anyway, I'm interested in the CP, but I'm going into my last year at university...have I waited too long, or is there still a chance I could get in? I'm still not 100% sure about it, but I've been curious about it for a few years now.

As long as when you apply, you are enrolled in college, you're fine. I personally feel like its actually better to apply later in your college career because you won't have as much to catch up on being away on an internship for 6 months.

I'm QSFB and got placed at ABC Commissary. I can pick up other shifts at different locations, right?

 

[Amanda08]

I worked at ABC! And yes, you can.

Can anyone tell me any information about staying in non-disney housing? I can't seem to find any anywhere. I really want to do the program but I have a dog that I can't leave while I go so I wouldn't be able to stay in Disney sponsored housing.

Also, completely unrelated, has anyone done the Spring Advantage Quarter program where you go March through August? I'm in a grad program that ends in the end of March and would like to go do the program then through August. Any info on that would be great too.

Thanks!

I believe the Quarter programs are only for people in schools that are on the Quarter system
