Fall 2007 College Program

[zada82]

So glad that you guys decided to start talking again. I just interviewed today so I guess I should expect to wait at least three weeks huh? What did you put for the roles you would like to do? I picked operations and vacation planner.

What did you put for the roles you would like to do?

Character Performer, Character Attendant, and Merchandise.

Awesome!!! By the way, I had to take fall because they only let certain people get in on the fall quarter. I couldn't do the fall advantage because my kids don't get out of school until early June. That is when I will be moving down there permanently with my family. Is there really a difference between fall and fall advantage other than an extended time period? Look forward to meeting all of you.

hey

I also interviewed on the 7th..I have a really hard time with waiting lol so this is going to be the longest 3 weeks of my life.

Oh well..what can ya do!?

 

[packwingfn]

Just interviewed! she said check your mail in 2 weeks!

 

[zada82]

Well it's been about a week since anyone has posted anything. I assume this means that everyone is still waiting? How about you all that interviewed in January. I only interviewed eight days ago so I know that I have at least another week or more. Well good luck to you all.

Hey all. First post, lurking for a little while though. I just discovered the program last week and had my interview today. I think it went really well. I had Danette in case anyone was wondering. I'm going for Fall Advantage I believe.

Anyone got in yet? I'm hoping to meet a bunch of people on here before I go down (if I get in) so I feel like I know people, lol.

Can you apply for the fall 2007 program if you graduate from college May 2007?

Can you apply for the fall 2007 program if you graduate from college May 2007?

Yes!!!! The only requirement is that you are at least a half-time student at the time you apply. Very nice to meet you. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Can you apply for the fall 2007 program if you graduate from college May 2007?

Yup - in fact, that is actually what I am doing. As long as you are enrolled in school when you apply for the program (what zada82 said).

Yup, still waiting. I interviewed on January 26th, and today is actually the 3-week mark (my interviewer told me that I would be hearing back in about 3 weeks). BUT....since I am planning to audition for a Character Performer role, I need to attend an audition (dates TBA), so I will not get a letter until after the audition.

 

[packwingfn]

Who are you going to audition for?

 

[Sehsun]

Who are you going to audition for?

I believe the auditions are general - what I mean by that is, you just go there, audition, and they place you into a character according to your height and their need. I would be happy being anybody.

I have also been reading around, and I hear that they measure up or down according to what they need. I am 5'1"....so I hope they measure me down.

My WDWCP support recruiter told me that the dates and locations for the auditions should be up late next week (!!).

 

[hudie1311]

I applied today for CP and am going to the presentation next week!!! I am so excited!!! I am 21 from Pittsburgh and have been to disneyworld about 16 times!!! I want to be a charater so bad!! I would give anything! Does anyone know how the auditions go and how much experience you need? I'm 5'5/5'6 so i don't even know if there is a character for me! Can anyone give helpful hints or tips for the interview next week? Thanks!! Hope to see you All in Florida in Fall!!!

 

[Sehsun]

I have not been to an audition yet. From what my interviewer told me, they call the first part of the audition a "short movement exercise," not a dance - because it doesn't require any prior experience.

I believe there are characters in every height range? However, it says on the WDWCP website that "special consideration will be given to Disney Animated Character "look-alikes" and individuals 4' 8" - 5' and 6' - 6' 3"."

I posted some interview tips on the College Program Questions thread. Good luck on your interview!

 

[zada82]

Hey all!!! I received an e-mail today from the college program. It gave me the name of the person I should contact for questions and several other phone numbers to contact for other reasons. It also asked me to fill out a survey about my interview experience. The questions were pretty general. It did not say that I have been offered a position or anything but that I am still in the process. I just wanted to mention the e-mail because I wanted to know if everyone else received one. Well, good luck to all of those who are waiting for the auditions. I can't wait to see you charming the fans (I'm one of them).
