My daughter is still pended as of yesterday.

Sorry to hear that. I hope she gets her acceptance email soon

My daughter just got accepted yesterday for fall advantage as a lifeguard. Any advise?

 

[Dave Dizney]

My DD was accepted to the CP this fall and will be moving in August 8. She mentioned she has already been in contact with a roommate and they're already communicating online. This will be a real change for our family as one of us for the first time crosses over the fourth wall.

We're really excited for her and trying to figure out how to coincide her move in with a short visit to the parks. Glad to be a part of this community!

Congratulations on your Daughters acceptance! What role did she receive?

Also, what is the "fourth wall"?

Thanks, and Have a Magical Day!

Congratulations to all the new acceptees! My daughter was granted her extension, so she will now be coming home August 3rd. We are fortunate to live close enough and have enough school breaks to be able to see her every 4-7 weeks. Still, she has had a bout or two of homesickness. By the time she finally returns, she will have been away from home for 6 months and 3 weeks! She is having a wonderful time and is doing a lot of growing in the process. For the newbies, if you have any questions, let me know!

Thanks!!

He pretty much put in for anything and everything he was allowed to. Was a little surprised he didn't get a lifeguarding position since he's done that for a few years now & instructs. But he's thrilled just to be given this opportunity!!

My DD is doing the CP. This is the most horrific and tragic news. My heart goes out to this CPs family.

My daughter is doing the CP now as well. I just hung up with her a little while ago. She said she's a CP - an international student from China. My daughter didn't know her but was so upset. She said, "Mom - she was from China. Who knows the last time she spoke to her parents? How about her parents getting that phone call? It could have been any of us? What if you got that phone call about me?" She just kept going on and on... I told her to pray for that girl's parents and to be careful!

Really so sad... prayers to all!: grouphug:

My DD and Neice will be checking in on Aug 15th to the college program. I am curious if any other moms or dads will be there during check-in. I am the only one traveling with them as my husband has to work and my neices parents could care less! I am hoping to meet some of the parents of other CPS.
We are taking the Autotrain from Lorton VA to Sanford FL on Aug 6th for a weeks vacation prior to their start time. Due to my work schedule I do not have to return to work until Aug 20th so staying until the 19th. Hope to spend a few relaxing days and make sure everything is ok before I fly the long flight back to NY. I feel sorry for who ever is sitting next to me!

Good morning! We leave a week from today I'm getting so excited

Only 7 more sleeps!

Hi. Why not anyone can start a post for parents? Even many of us having more knowledge for this so do it soon.

This is the thread where parents can ask questions. Ask your questions and we'll see if we can help you.

 

[nicolearielsmom]

Very excited to be taking my DD to check in on June 11th. Are there any family type gatherings planned. Right now just her roommates and moms are getting together for dinner.

There were no family events planned when I brought my daughter in January. When you first drop your daughter off that morning... she checks in by herself. There is an area for parents to hang out, they give you info on the Disney College program and there is coffee and cookies. They also offer apartment tours, will answer any questions you have, and DVC is also there giving presentations.

Good luck!

Hey you CP experts: Do you know if the parents of CP's get a discount on Disney Cruises?

Your son/daughter gets a discount, so if you join them on a cruise then it would help benefit you. There are no discounts solely by "relation" except for spouses/partners (which only apply to PT and FT CMs).
