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

ok that helps a lot. thanks i really appreiciate that!!!! sorry i was just confused.

No problem- happy to help

I just heard that my friend who did the CP back in fall 2008 is returning for the summer alumni this year! I'm so happy for him!
When he did his first CP he was the Kilimanjaro safari driver, and LOVED it! I know him from theater, and safari is a great ride for aspiring actors since it is a spiel ride. I'm not sure what he's doing there this time.

That's awesome! I think KS would be SO fun. Every ride really would be different.

thanks you guys that makes sense. i had no idea about any of it lol. haha yay newbie!! so career start it is lol is anyone on here gonna do that possibly then??

I'm not doing CS because I'm already enrolled in college next semester. But I'll definitely be doing the CP - hopefully Fall 2011 or Spring 2012.

Me niether. Right off to college after high school. You should do Fall 2012 ajaz, because then I'd know somebody lol

I can't do CS because I'm already in college- a junior to be exact! I wish I would have known about CS when I graduated HS (idk if they even had it in 2007... anyone know when they started it?) because I SO would have done it.

Hmm...maybe I will! Although it would mean waiting a WHOLE YEAR longer than I planned. It really just depends on what classes I'm taking. And if I decide to minor in anything (if I did, it would probably be dance, but I'm still not sure I will).
I know I have enough AP/dual credits to pretty much put me a semester ahead in school, since I've gotten rid of many of my basics. But adding a minor would pretty much put me back where a normal student is. And with education, the really specific courses start my junior year, so I'm not sure how compliant my school would be with me leaving at that point.

Then again, I'm not even sure I'll stick with education, so it may not even matter. Haha, this sort of turned into a very rambling, nonsensical post.

Oh no it's fine, but if you ever change your mind... Plus waiting a year more than you have to would be TORTURE. I'm just trying to think only two more years...

I just saw Mary Poppins (the broadway show) and it was fantastic! It reminded me of all the magic that disney creates

My mom got to see it over spring break in New York, and she absolutely loved it as well! I wish I had been able to go, too.

One of my tap teachers was in it up until a few months ago! She just left recently for maternity leave haha.

I think I want to do the CP either my sophomore year (2011-2012), or my junior year (2012-2013). I want peoples opinion, do you think spring or fall is better to do the program?

I'll be a sophomore in 2011-2012, and I want to do the program sometime that year! I'm leaning toward fall, since I really want to be in Disney over the holidays, but I'm not entirely sure yet.

I want to do it in the fall (fall advantage specifically) because I would love to be there for the holidays and there are more oppurtunities in entertainment (which is the field I would like to be in) because of the different parades for Halloween and Christmas, plus there are more major holidays during this time. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, New Years, and maybe 4th of July. I want to do advantage because I can be there in the summer!

 

[wdwislife]

i'm also thinking about fall advantage. i'd get to be there for the summer and for the major holidays! (including my birthday )

 

[r1009t]

I want to do fall advantage too for all the reasons above

Just make sure you know all your school's policies regarding your class standing. I found out that I needed to have my major declared by the end of my sophomore year (and I had been considering doing the CP during the spring semester of soph year) which made me realise I'd much prefer doing it in the fall of my junior year. Not to mention it's nice to have two years of college done instead of going for three semesters and then coming back. It's nice to get settled in.

Also I'm biased because I think fall sounds a bit more appealing.

Hahaha YES PLEASE!!! A kid at my uni is from FL maybe we can live in his basement for the summer.

(But then we'll wind up staying in WDW forever and never go back to school aaaah!)
