Hi! I'm Brianna, 18, female. I will be working in Store Operations, and will be in the housing too! I look forward to meeting everyone!

Ooh, finally! Me and Britt were beginning to worry we were the youngest ones going to DL!

I am driving there Monday afternoon and I was just curious to see where everyone is staying at? One more thing....am I going to be the oldest person there? ug!

 

[MiaTurner]

Don't worry, the myspace group and facebook group are mostly where the older students lurk. Me and Britt were actually worried we might be the YOUNGEST there, so no worries. Seems like there's going to be a very even age range.

I'm driving up tomorrow and spending the day in San Diego with my fam before driving up to DL. We're staying at the Howard Johnson.

Is it already time for a new CP semester????

We just said goodbye to the past semester. The programme itself might have a horrible reputation, but this past semester's CPers rocked, IMO.

Oh well, if anyone is heading to Tomorrowland Attractions (or Tomorrowland Restaurants) for that matter, I'd love to hear from you !

I just feel that those considering the DLR CP should be aware of this.

We had a Union meeting recently with regards to what to demand in the new contract for Frontline Operations that will be negotiated in the next few months.

The College Programme was raised as a topic, and was nearly the most controversal topic of the night (quite easily the one that provoked the most raised voices), which seemed to come as a surprise to a few people.

After listening to everything, I would at the very least expect a cap on the number CPers accepted in the very near future. As it already exists in Park Food & Beverage and is a fairly extreme sticking point (heck, it overshadowed discusision on wages) for a lot of Part-Time CMs.

These are all proposals at the moment, and may or may not occur, depending on the upcoming labour negotiations. However, I do think it is something to take into consideration. The proposed cap, at the very least, would make the DLR CP extremely difficult to get into, as it would apply to almost all the roles available.

On the upside, there wasn't anything against CPers themselves, who most seemed to agree were generally good people. That's a big improvement from even just recently, lol.

Hey everyone!! I got accepted for the fall semester as a food and beverage worker at Disneyland. I'm 19 and I'm from Phoenix AZ. Anyone else going then?

paramore, have you checked out this thread: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2168665 it's got few people going into the dlrcp for the fall semester. if you also haven't checked that one out yet, there is another thread titled "DLR Kids".

Man, this is always how it happens. A few months ago there were a ton of people going into the DL program, and now they have all disappeared. I wish they would come back and give us the DL since they have done it!

They were probably the Spring 09 crew of CP-ers at DLR and hopefully they will be back to give us some insight before we leave! xD
