College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[bellebookworm9]

Did anyone else pay on Friday 11-11-2011 after getting accepted? If so, have you received your next email so you can choose your dates? I just thought it was weird I haven't gotten mine. Thanks!

I know some people who have. I paid at 9:35pm on Friday and haven't received mine yet; trying to decide if I should call. Someone else said they called today and got the e-mail within 10 minutes, someone else said they called today and was told it could take up to a week!

I called yesterday (11/15) and they said it was a glitch in the system, but I got the email tonight (11/16)! So now what? Will they send another email?

They might send two. I called last night at 5:04 and they were closed. Finally got through at 9:34am and was told same thing about the glitch, and they would forward my name to a team leader. Got an e-mail at 12:47 reminding me to accept my offer-which I already did. Called again, they sent the dates e-mail within 15 minutes, twice.

I'm arriving on January 11th, how about you?

That's almost exactly what happened to me! I feel like we're going through all the same things lol. I'm arriving on the 16th I hope we get to meet!! I can't wait to find out what happens next. Do we get to register for our classes and stuff before we get there? Do you know?

We're supposed to get an e-mail giving us access to the onboarding website, and you can register for classes through there. I don't know if I'm going to take classes because I don't have to, but I do want to check out the days/times/prices. They should also have the roommate matching website up and running pretty soon.

My mom is planning to come visit me in early February. If she books the hotel now, can we apply the cast member discount later? Is there a waiting period like there is for CM price cruises? And does the reservation have to be in my name, or can we still get the discount if I am listed and there when she checks in? (I do plan to stay with her).

No. The discount has to be booked with your ID, at that time (so it can't be booked first and discount applied later).

Do I have to let Disney know of my change of major? I recently changed my major from Public Health to Hospitality..

Nope, once you're already accepted into the college program, they don't keep tabs anymore. You could fail/drop all your classes and they're not going to check up on you. (Not that you should do that, lol.)

 

[kevvvvv]

A couple questions....

1) Anybody else having trouble accessing the videos/syllabus materials on the course registration site?
2) I wrote my intended major on my application, but won't technically be declaring until late this week/early next week, I didn't know whether I should write undecided or what it was because either could be misleading....this won't be a problem will it?
3) Any word on when the roommate matching system will go online?
4) I got my onboarding email and postcard but not my purple envelope, anybody else not get theirs yet?

You don't get the purple folder anymore, just the postcard and the e-mail.

 

[shadowjelo]

Why don't they send out the purple folder anymore?

 

[bellebookworm9]

I believe it's because all the info that used to be in the purple folder is now online on the onboarding website.

 

[shadowjelo]

That's true. It's just a waste of paper to print off information that they tell you 3 or 4 times.

I'm Aaisha by the way I'm applying for Fall 2012, possibly Fall Advantage.


Has any one here done Disneyland AND Disneyworld. I applied for the Disneyland DCP for Fall 2011 but I applied to late so did not get accepted. Disneyland has been my first chose just because it's closer and my parents met there so I feel like of connected to it, but it sounds like the program in Disneyworld is better. Thoughts? Disneyland DCP VS. Disneyworld DCP.

When checking in, is it possible to suggest the number of roommates you want? Like, me and a couple people are hoping for a two bedroom in Chatham.

We're going down on the 9th, which is one of the earlier check in days, and we plan on getting there pretty early. So I guess my question is, can we pick the number of bedrooms we want?

Assuming you're there early enough in the day, yes, kind of.

Unless things have changed in the last couple years, you can tell them your preference for complex and sometimes even what floor. If you want to room with someone, they have to be there with you for that part of check in. They'll let you room with people you want, but you can't pick more than half the people in your apartment. So if you want a 2br you can only pick one person, if you want a 4br up to 3 others, etc. Also, if you don't want to live with anyone that smokes tell them you have asthma and they'll try their best (even though smoking isn't allowed IN the apartment)

I applied for the Undergraduate Intern, ABC Entertainment Group ,Development, Spring 2012 and under status it shows "in progress". Is that a good thing? All of my other submissions just show "submission" or "Thank you for applying!"

I posted a thread on here about being too old for the CP program but I hope I'm not - I will continue to pursue my dream of being a part of the Disney team!

I finally got accepted on Tuesday! The only thing is, when I went to choose my check-in date, it only offered me February 20th. Are the dates before that filled up? Is it normal to arrive that late? Is there any way I can get an earlier date? Sorry for all the questions. I just don't want to have to arrive about a month after everyone's met each other and gotten comfortable. I'd feel like an intruder. Of course, if it's the only date available, I'll take it, but I'd like to know if there are other options.

Congratulations! You must be so excited I would be wondering too why the February start date..... My dashboard status on two undergraduate internships still show "in progress" (which has been for last 2 days). Does that status mean they will call me for an interview? Maybe the undergraduate internship is different than the College program you got into
