Fall 2012 Disney College Program Applicants

[Princesscan123]

*Oh my gosh your name is Canada? That is so gorgeous! Sorry, just wanted to say that.. from what I've heard applying to both doesnt hurt. I only applied to FL. Good luck!

Haha thanks alot! I love my name too. And ive heard that too. And i heard that if you are really open to what jobs you'll do youhave better chances. I put high to low interest for all of them except custodial and photopass. Me and my grandma figured that standing around taking pictures of tourists ( half which turn you down) probably wouldn't be fun

So, I wish there had been a date closer to my web based interview to have my phone interview. This wait to interview is killing me! To pass the time I have read every blog, every discussion board, and watched every youtube video that has anything to do with the college program.
I decided to start a Vlog on my experience- I can't post links yet, but my name is ALLIWDWCP and the video is Alli's Disney College Program VLog #1
Follow me, share advice- whatever you wanna do lol. Im going to start a blog too. When I get a chance

Best of luck to everyone!

Haha i am the same way! Me and my grandma spent the whole morning doing exactly that! I have to come to the conclusion that if i dont get ini just might die! Haha there are so many things on the internet that make the program just look like so much fun. I alreadyhave a blog ( not much of a video person) and we couldfollow eachothers! Haha ill post a link when im not on my nook

My daughter's interview was short like that too. She made it in...is at Disney World right now...checked in on the 9th of Jan. I wish you the best of luck!!!

Your daughter's short interview experience relieves me a bit. Thank you very much for your positive thoughts.

I feel the same way- I do not know what I'm going to do if I don't make it! What did you apply for? my blog is w w w. ifyoucandreamitdoit2012. blogspot. com ( I spaced it weird so I could post it, I'm still a newbie as well)

Hi, my name is Adam.

I'm a senior graduating with architecture, and applied for the Fall CP at Disneyland and WDW (can't decide!!). I had to wait a bit for my CP since the architecture program tends to get messy if you interrupt it . I took my WBI on Wednesday and passed, and now I'm waiting for my phone interview this Wednesday. Hope I see you all wherever I end up!

well my blog ishttp: //farfro mde ad.blogspot.com / and I applied for both the florida one and the anaheim one. but really, as far as the jobs go, I would be happy with almost anything. except photopass and custodial. Although i think i would be happiest in the BBB as a fairy godmother in training )

Is photopass that bad? I actually put it as one of my highest choices, because I tend to be pretty good with a camera, and it seemed like a way to have lots of guest interaction. Interesting...

Oh it's probably not that bad. It's just not for me. I like taking pictures but not anything professional. I don't think I'd enjoy doing that all day. but I've heard for other people it's tons of fun because you get to be all over the park and just like you said the guest interaction

I think it's all about what you like to do. Some people would say photopass would be horrible and others would say it's the best job. Depends on what YOU like, not what other people like.

I've met lots of super great photopass photographers. I had my senior pictures taken at Disney... and by that I mean I wore nicer clothes to the park and stopped at every photopass photographer and said "I might use this for a senior picture!" so they helped me out a lot.

That's exactly how I see it. And did you really? I would have loved for my senior pics to be like that!!!

 

[Que_Sarah_Sarah]

I didn't end up actually getting the pics (I had others done at a studio that I liked better and it was really sunny the day I took the pics so I was squinting in ALL of them xD) but it was really fun and easy to do. We chose EPCOT as the location, I wore a nice shirt and capris, and then we stopped at every photographer to get shots.

 

[amwalser]

I considered applying for photopass..I enjoy taking pictures, by no means a professional though lol.
I am so ready for my interview on tuesday. Tomorrow is going to drag by.
Oh, and by chance do you guys know if they ever hire any one on the CP to work at Fort Wilderness to work with the horse program there? I grew up with horses, still have 9 and that would totally be my second choice, if its a possibility.

Hello everyone, my name is Mark. I applied for the fall program. I had my interview on saturday, and felt everything went really well. I am still waiting for an email regarding acceptance into the program. For all those who are new to the cp, Smile during your phone interview, and just speak as if you're talking to a friend.(they judge personality and character, not intelligence, or your answers)

Feel free to send me a private message if you have any specific questions you wish to ask me about my past experience with the program.

Good Luck!!

You said "new to cp" have you already done the program?

I have my interview tomorrow (Tuesday) at 11:15am. I'm so nervous. Good luck to anyone else with upcoming interviews!

 

[lynne222]

Hi all! I am new to disboards. I am 22, a senior in college in Nashville, TN, and will graduate in May.
I did the app and WBI last week, and my phone interview is scheduled for next Monday evening. I hope to work in WDW doing Full Service Food & Beverage, Merchandise, Concierge, or Hospitality.
My boyfriend is also applying to the program and one of my best friends is too, and I just hope we all get accepted! The next few weeks are going to be full of anxiety.
Good luck to everyone!

 

[lynne222]

also, does anyone know how long you have to accept the job offer after they accept you? Is is like 24 hours or a couple of days? ..because if my bf gets in and I don't or vice versa then our plans might change haha.

Yes, I was assigned to qsfb at all star movies during spring 2011

You have 10 days to respond to your invitation, and if they don't hear back from you within that time then they'll assume you're declining. Good luck! Hopefully you'll both hear back within 10 days of each other
