CP 201_: a thread for college program hopefuls who have to wait a few years.

I HATE the cold. My favorite season is summer and I love going outside and it being all sunny and pretty even though it may be blazing hot. That is perfect weather for the pool and beach. Do you live in the north? I live in the south, so winters here would probably seem mild to you. Ha.

I'm in the midwest, so not as cold in the north but pretty similar. Probably, but with all that weird weather that's happened recently, you've probably gotten some snow

If you go to the disneycareers.com site and look up jobs in New York, there's currently a posting for interns for Disney Theatricals in areas of publicity, guest service, casting, marketing, etc. It'll teach you a little more about the company. I've applied and I'm dying to get one. It's my dream job.

Is there anyway I can look at it without uploading a resume? What did you apply for, and which internship do you want the most?

It has snowed here 3 times this year, so it has been crazy. Very unusual for the south. Ha. It only last for about a day or 2 each time though.

Yeah, we got a foot of snow in one day, which NEVER happens. I think it broke some hundred year old record for most snow in our area. Normally we only get around an inch or two per year.

We got like 6 inches, it was crazy!

This is kind of totally random- but aftertoday's post about interning with Disney Theatrical made me go look at the Disney Careers site. And after some snooping around- I just applied for an internship on the set of General Hospital this summer. I'm so excited. Chances are I won't get it, but who knows- it just may happen! That would be SO amazing. Okay- sorry for going off-topic!

I applied for Casting, Guest Services, Creative Development, and Publicity. Ideally, I'd like to be a company manager, but Casting and Guest Services sound good for me. I'm not as much of a story creator, though I'd love to dabble in creative development. Publicity also sounds fun as well.

I'm just a huge fan of Disney, former WDW CP, and Disney Theatricals is my dream job. I'm hoping they contact me. I also hope they got all my things - the website is super confusing. They should really just have an email you can send these things to.

Thanks soooo much! What's your major in college? Do you think with a public relations major that I could still get accepted even though it says you need an emphasis on theatrical/performing arts?

have any of you thought about going to University of Central Florida, and working full time at WDW?
I'm considering it!

Well, I've already decided on a school, since I'm going to be a freshman next year! Crazy stuff, high school really flies by, especially senior year.

I didn't look into any schools outside of Texas, but that's just my personal preference, I wanted to stay sort of close to home (I'll be about four hours away). But I just visited the UCF website, and it seems really nice. It's about the same size as the school I'll be attending next year (i.e. HUGE).

Alright, sorry if this post seemed a bit incoherent. I've got a massive headache and I'm slightly congested, so I'm probably not making much sense.

No, I'm kind of concentrating on in-state schools/northeastern schools. Is it primarily a performing arts school? It would be nice to work FT at wdw though...

I've thought about it, but I would really like to get a HOPE scholarship, which is only good for instate schools, so idk. I would really like to go to UCF and work at WDW though, but its expensive if you don't have a scholarship or are from out of state.. We'll just have to see when the time comes. But, I did look up Freshman scholarships on the UCF website and it is possible I could get a Freshman scholarship for UCF because I have really good grades and I take lots of honors/AP classes, so I would definitely apply to see if I could get one of those. If so, I would definitely go!

I did think about that when I was looking to transfer my freshman year. (my first year here at WVU wasn't as wonderful as hoped...) They have a great theater program so I was planning on doing that or their TV/Radio Broadcasting degree. But I changed my mind about transferring and stayed at WVU. I only have one year left

I have thought about getting a second degree (the TV/Radio one) while I'm working at WDW after I graduate.

ipodluvr287, thanks for the info on photopass a few pages back!
I searched and found a girl who was accepted for photographer and will be keeping a blog about it when she gets there, so I'll be following it.

That's definitely going to be my #1 choice when I apply for the CP.

Anyone know of a role that could be related to a public relations major?
