Fall 2007 College Program

[luckyme86]

Hey everyone!

I just did my phone interview for Fall '07 this morning. And now I'm playing the waiting game...lol, anyway, good luck to everyone else who's planning on applying and everyone who's waiting for a response! I'm hoping for operations (attractions, of course ), character attendant, or merchandise. What's everyone else applying for?

The auditions consist of 2 parts- animation and dance. For animation they tell you something to animate and you do that (for example, animate making a sandwich). I had 2 for my audition. Then comes the dance part. It goes from relatively easy to harder. You may also be called back for a puppet part.

Hey Johanna, I IMed you I hope you don't mind!!! Like I said I was wondering if someone has character as their first choice and wouldn't make it because of height or no vacancies etc. Do they get considered for other CP jobs or are they automatically out of the program?

Good luck to you Brenna! I had my interview last Thursday and also am hoping to get a role in attractions. Do you have a particular ride you'd love to be placed at? I know for me I'd love to man the Twilight Zone Haunted Tower ride.

Thanks MickeyD! Good luck, and I hope you get Tower of Terror! I'm hoping for Haunted Mansion or Jungle Cruise myself (or maybe American Adventure in Epcot). A friend of mine did the program last fall, and she said I "have Adventure Land or Frontierland written all over [me]" so it'll be interesting to see where I'd be put if I got in and got attractions

And hudie1311, another friend of mine who's doing the CP now tried out for character and didn't make it, but was still invited to the program as a character attendant. So no worries, if you don't make character, they'll still consider you for other roles

Of course not. I would love to hear from you. If people audition and don't make performer, they get placed in other roles. That is what happened with me. I auditioned and didn't make it. However, I was given character attendant. So good luck.

Hey Brenna. If you have any questions about character attendant or merchandise, let me know. I have done both on the CP.

hey! an update about any Sep. arrivals!! I just got a call from someone at Disney and the Sep date I had picked is now closed so they asked if i would be okay with Sep. 5th instead. I said sure!! which is actually great because instead of working I will take my kids to Disney on The 3rd (labor day)!!

 

[WDWCP2007]

Good evening.. I have accepted a role for Fall 2007 and I am under 21.. I am looking for a roomate for a 1 bedroom.. If ne one is interested Please get back to me.. my email is Jaydeloge@gmail.com or my aim is Jfluff18.

I had my interview yesterday, AH. I am so nervous! we'll see what happens! I would really love to find out the percentages of acceptance & declines.

 

[knash7777]

i agree with you.....knowing the percentages of acceptances/declines would be nice....im wicked nervous myself....

btw, what part of mass are you from, i go to school in boston

 

[luckyme86]

Good luck Kelly!

My recruiter said they don't like to release the percentages on how many people apply/get in/decline/etc. becuase then people start worrying and freaking out about the numbers or something. Thinking on it that way, maybe it is better if we don't know (I'm freaking out enough just trying to figure out how to make time go faster...)

 

[sparkellyy]

knash7777; I am 25 minutes south of Boston, a little town called Seekonk. right near Rhode Island.

I want to know the numbers though! everyone seems like they are getting accepted. is it because it is still early? I really want to know, I just got interviewed YESTERDAY and I am watching the mail already, gosh this is going to be soo long!

 

[mwhope]

I received my acceptance letter today! I am in operations for the fall program.

 

[zada82]

Yea!!!!! mwhope

It has been two weeks and two days since I interviewed. I am getting more anxious now. I had a feeling mine would be here today but it wasn't. My recruiter/helper e-mailed me a few days ago and said that I will know my status very soon. I kind-of took for granted that it was on the way or something but it wasn't.

Lady V, you have kids too? I thought I was the only crazy mom trying to do the college program. Well I think it's great. You only live once and I am livin' it. Hope to see ya soon.

 

[sparkellyy]

My recruiter/helper e-mailed me a few days ago and said that I will know my status very soon.

did you e-mail them first? or did they just e-mail you informing you that you would know your status?

and is your "recruiter" the person that interviewed you?

I am SO nervous because I'm leaving to go to Disney exactly two weeks from the date I was interviewed (1 week and 6 days from today), and I am DYING to find out before I go!!!!

 

[luckyme86]

Congratulations mwhope! What are your first choices for operations?

Lol, I totally know what you mean Kelly! I keep having to force my self NOT to go check my mail. And the three week mark from my interview is my school's spring break, so if I don't have anything by then, I'll be going crazy all through spring break!

 

[Feigned]

Yea!!!!! mwhope

Just because you are told that you will know your status very soon doesn't necessarily mean it will arrive right away! I called at my 4 week mark and told me something was "in the mail." It took me another 2 days to get something... and it had been mailed out 5 days earlier than I received it, so you have to account for the whole mail system.

Good luck!

I e-mailed him first concerning a first e-mail saying I needed to turn in paperwork or something. He wrote back to tell me that he had everything he needed for me and just added the fact that I will know very soon about my status. I didn't ask at all. I guess I would wait until closer until the vacation and then call if you don't hear back. Some of us have been waiting for many weeks. I have been waiting for two weeks. Some got their acceptance in one week. I guess you really have no idea if you base it on what the rest of us have had happen. Good Luck!!! Have fun on your trip. I will be there Saturday but I was just there a week and a half ago and twice before already in 2007. I'm a junky that only lives about 2 1/2 hours away so I go all the time.

Thanks. Maybe something is on the way for me. I just need some closure. You know, something to be hopeful for on my move. We are moving there anyway in June because I want to work for Disney permanently one day soon and my long-time boyfriend decided to go back to school and wants to go to UCF.
