Disney Career Start Program

My 1st choice is Attractions so she asked the MOST questions about attractions. But I also marked down FSFB and Costuming. So she asked a couple of questions in those two as well. But in her own notes, she asked me if I would be willing to do QSFB or Merchandise (because of my pervious work experience) and I said "I would be willing to do anything just as long as i'm there!" So she marked down in her own notes QSFB and Merch. but she didn't ask my any questions about them, just if I were willing to do them lol

That's pretty cool. She asked me a lot of questions about FSFB, that was my number 3. My first choice is merch, and second is attractions. So she asked questions about those two things. lol I cant wait to hear back! At the end of the interview I told her that I was very excited, she laughed and replied, "I can tell. I also have to admit that you are professional." Now....we play the waiting game!

I hope you get Merch.! I'm nervous because I heard of a girl for the CP got Merch. because of her work experience, and she applied early too. I mean, I really wouldn't care if I got it.. but I REAAAALLLLY want Attractions lol

Thank you!!! I really really really hope you get attractions!! That would be sooo cool. Are there any specific rides that you want to work on?
I've never hear of anyone who has even applied for this program....I found out about this from an ad on the internet lol

lol Well she asked if I would rather work indoors or outdoors and I said I didn't care and she asked if I would be comfortable reciting long narrations on rides and I said I would be comfortable and she asked if I would be comfortable controlling a ride all through a computer and I said yes.

But at the end she asked if there was one place in Disney World that I have always wanted to work and I said one of the 4 parks she asked me which one but I said it didn't matter lol

What about you? What kind of questions were you asked?

lol wow...she didnt ask me questions like that...(But attractions wasnt my first choice eaither...) Well, she asked me of I ever had any experience handiling money (Yes) If I could work outdoors...yes, (Because it's hotter in Lake Placid than in Orlando) She did ask me if I ever had to memorize lines....I told her I was in a drama class and did plays for school...but she didnt ask me what park I would want to work at...lol now I'm a bit nervous! Oh, she told me that I had a lot of work experience...so hopefully that will count for something!

lol I'm sure everyone is different! And she probably asked the park question because I was giving her like nooo feedback... I wanted to make sure she understood that I would do ANYTHING to get into this program and that I can be very flexiable lol So I bet thats why

Btw, will we hear in 3 to 4 weeks? or could it take up to 3 to 4 weeks?

*Sighs in relief* Okay well, I feel a little bit better....I kinda was the same way too. I would do ANYTHING to get into this program!!! I hope I didnt sound picky or anything!! Because I'm really not!!! lol
Well, my interviewer told me that we would hear something in 3 to 4 weeks, but on the cs website, it said that we would hear something 10 to 14 days after the phone interview...so I thought that was a bit confusing...

I'm so happy that you guys did well in your interviews! I really hope that we all get in! That would be awesome! I can't seem to stop using exclamation points! It's ok, periods are for losers!!!

LOL I agree!!! I am an exclaimation point all the way!!! I hope that you do well on your interview!! It's so exciting! It seems like things were super slow at first, and now its like BOOM!!!! I hope its 10 to 14 days too!! Then we will know!!!

I can't wait and I haven't even taken my interview yet! Here's how I'm going to go about this....
1. Post constantly here and talk to you awesome people!
2. Assume that I'm not going to get anything from them for 2 months so I don't freak out too much and then get all surprised when it comes earlier than expected
3. Constantly think about how, the longer it takes them to get back to me, the better... because I assume it's easier to send a letter saying you didn't get in than placing you where you need to go and sending you a packet of awesome acceptance!

wooo this was a long post.... I'm anxious....

If I graduated high school in 2008 is it too late for me to try and get into either of these programs? I haven't been in college much because I went the working route. Any info would be appreciated.

Well its 48 months since you graduated .. I'm too lazy to do the math lol

12 months a year would mean I have 4 years if that's the rule. I've not even been out a full 2 yet. I may look into this. I applied for an apprenticeship through the state of FL. Working at WDW under engineers for 4 years then having the opportunity to be hired as a journey man. But I wouldn't be able to go to college that way.

Hi all! I'm new here... I sent in my app about 2 weeks ago, snail mail as I am currently an exchange student in Germany! Now I'm waiting anxiously as to what I "hope/pray" my next adventure will be!

Oh and I am also a senior in high school, returning back to the states at the end of may to graduate!

Nice to meet you all!

How long did most of you wait after sending the first app in?!?!

Who all did you get to write your letter of recomendations? Also what is a short response form? I have the application just not sure what to do about the letter or short response form. Any help?
