I checked off 7 different things: operations, merchandise, full service food and beverage, recreation, hospitality, vacation planner, and character attendant.

Just a reminder, if anyone has a livejournal (or wants to make one now), you can go to the WDW CP Fall 2007 community I made: http://community.livejournal.com/wdwcpfall07/

If you have Facebook, you can join the group there made by my friend Katie. Search WDW CP Fall 2007 and it will come up.

hey everyone. i need some help. i really REALLY want to do the cp, however it's more comlicated than just wanting to do it. i live at home right now and do NOT get along real great with my parents. i had finally decided that i wanted to just finish school and then get a full time job and get my butt out of here as fast possible. yet a part of me still really wants to do it. argh...i don't know what to do. i have looked at the schedule and the people don't come to my school until April. I'm one of those people that if i have too long of a wait i'll just keep going back and forth between what to do. please, opinions, would you go for it, or would you try and get out of your house as soon as possible to save whatever chance of a relationship you might have with your parents. thanks for your help!!

you gotta do what's best for you (and you are the only one who can determine what is best), but if you don't want to wait, you can watcch the epresentation and interview immediately. if you get offered, then you will have a date to look forward to.
the epresentaiton is available on disneycollegeprogram.com/epresentation

I hear you. Well, sort of anyway. For my first CP I had a HUGE disagreement with my parents. They didn't think I was ready to go away for so long at the time (I had applied during my first semester at school). To make a long story short they finally let me go, but I had to switch from Spring Advantage to Spring. But to get back to you, you would not have to wait for your school presentation. My 2nd CP I did the E-presentation (online presentation) because I wanted to audition and the audition was weeks before the presentation at school. Also, if you want to finish school quickly, do the CP right after you graduate. Good luck.

Hey! I'm also hoping to do the Fall 2007 CP Program. Does anyone have any advice for the interview (what kinds of questions do they ask, etc), and for the character performer audition? I am hoping to be a character performer, and would love any advice (both for furry and face character performer auditions). Thanks!

Sent you a PM.

 

[Disneygirl3919]

Thanks, Joanna! That helps a lot! Another quick question...do you recommend taking the classes even if you can't get school credit for them? If so, which one(s). How often do classes meet, how long are they, and how many weeks do they last? Thanks for all of your help!

Anyone on here going to be a custodial worker or hospitality? If I work at the hotels, I would like to be a bellhop than a desk clerk. I'm not good when it comes to talking straight up with people to explain something. I'm better off organzining someone's luggage and deliver to the right room. If I choose hospitality, what is the likihood that I can make sure I be a bellhop.

0% Bellhop isn't an available position. The bell services aspect of hospitality is working phones, doing dispatch, and storing luggage for the cruiseline guests and magical express. You wouldn't be bringing it to the rooms.

 

[packwingfn]

Thanks for the tip. What kind of phone calls would I have to deal with and what is working dispatch exactly? I understand the whole organzing luggage for the Cruise Line/Mag Express

 

[khancock]

phone calls would I have to deal with and what is working dispatch exactly?

Guest calls bell services requesting someone to pick up their bags. You call/radio (dispatch) a bell hop to go pick up their bags.

Some of the resorts are really spread out, so there could be someone running bags/guests to their room and you radio them to swing by another room to pick up bags.

 

[packwingfn]

I have never worked in a hotel before. Would you find this difficult for someone who has never worked in one before? It's my #3 option in the CP but I want to be prepared for it in case I dont get my #1 or #2

Hi all !!!!! I applied for the PI that started in January but did not get it. I believe I got pretty close though. I interviewed four times with one actually in Orlando. I thought that maybe I would increase my odds for next time by attending the college program first. I think it would be alot of fun but I have one concern. What are the odds of getting a day shift. I heard that all of the college students generally get stuck with the night shifts. I want to do operations. I have two kids and think they need mom home at night. I don't mind weekends, I just don't want to be headed for work every night just as my kids come home from school. Does anyone know if I will doomed for nights??

 

[packwingfn]

I just submitted my application. Printed everything. Now I plan to watch the E-Presentation sometime this weekend, then call to schedule my phone interview, I wonder how leniant they are with the phone interviews, I would love to have my phone interview on next friday since I have no classes and don't have to work so it would be the most relaxing day for me.

Has anyone heard back if they got in or not. I have been waiting for about 3 weeks now. The lady told me 3-4 weeks. I did everything and sent my stuff out. So I guess I just play the waiting game now.

I haven't heard back yet - I interviewed on January 26th, and my interviewer told me I'd hear back 3 weeks from then.....BUT, I am going to the character performer audition, so I won't hear back until after the audition.

You should be hearing from them pretty soon then!
