I got a rejection letter for catering and lodging...I have an interview with retail and lodging next week. I have not heard anything from operations yet. Calling now to find out what is up with lodging!

[sneekypeeks]

At this time, they have no clue what happened. Waiting on them to call me back.

Did anyone also apply for the college program as a back up?

Hopefully they get everything fixed for you! It sounds like that shouldn't have happened.

Did anyone also apply for the college program as a back up?

I did that in 2008 (waiting for Spring '09). It paid off as all of the management internships were outright cancelled, so I would have been without a job at Disney if I hadn't done the CP. In hindsight, it was the path I needed to take.

Sounds like a computer glitch to me. Sending pixies your way!

I just applied last night. I am just hoping it doesn't hurt my chances by making me look less serious about the PI's. Because it's actually the opposite. I hope they see it that way.

DVC Marketing anyone? It's my number one

I did apply for a cp program since I am moving to Orlando regardless. I am graduating in May and I want to have a career with Disney. Since I got my rejection letter yesterday from an MI, I am happy I applied for a cp. I was wondering since I won't be in school anymore, is it possible to apply for an MI or a PI next season while doing a CP program??

Good luck to those who are still waiting to hear from other PI's and who have interviews

Yes you can! You can be with the College Program for up to one year.. So you can be a Cp in the Fall and then a PI or MI in the Spring.

This is not the case for the PP's question. From the website:

"Q. I have already graduated from college. Can I apply for an internship?

A.Disney Professional Internships are reserved for those who are currently enrolled in college. For employment opportunities available for college graduates, visit disneycareers.com.

The only exception is for Disney's Animal Programs. Disney's Animal Program Professional Internships are available to individuals within one year of graduation.

Q. I am graduating in May. Can I still apply for an internship?

A. Whether you are graduating in May or December, as long as you are a current student (emphasis mine) at time of application, you may apply for an internship that immediately follows your graduation date."

There's always grad school...

There is a length of time on a student program limit, which is the year, so one cannot do Fall Advantage, or extend the CP and then do the PI. Or, if one does a CP immediately followed by a PI, the PI cannot be extended (BTDT)

Is anyone else getting a merged interview? I will be interviewing for Retail Mgmt and Lodging Mgmt at the same time. I am a little nervous and confused as to how this will work. Just curious if this is a normal thing or not.

I had a merged interview for both a PI/MI which was totally not the best cause she's called me late so we had a tight twenty minutes to talk about both internships that had different qualities that I needed to talk about. I had her laughing though cause I was kinda funny punchy tired cause I took the call on break from ESPN weekend and had already been working for 12 hours. But it didn't seem to affect anything.

 

[dopeyrunner]

We'll I didn't get any rejection emails but I also haven't heard anything back after the preliminary interview but she said that I would likely hear back by May 1st.

If you choose to go this route, you can only do the Fall program.

In the "assessment" questions you are asked when you apply for the PI, one of the questions mentions that you must either be in school at the time of application or on a college program. Since you can't spend over a year in an internship role, that's why you can only do the Fall program. Fall advantage+PI=14 months.

It's pretty much the only loophole there is (well, not really a loophole) in applying for a PI and not being currently enrolled in school.

I did and accepted a spot back in February.

I graduated in December. I am currently on the college program and I have applied for quite a few PI/MI's. While you are on the CP, you are still considered a student in Disney's eyes. You CAN apply for an MI/PI after you graduate as long as you are currently doing a CP. This will only work if you are doing the fall or spring program, not if the fall advantage/spring advantage, since you can only do a student program for one year.

If you graduate, take a semester off, and then want to apply, you can not do that though. Hope it helps.
