Umm, I hate to sound ignorant, but what's this box that everybody's going on about? Should I have gotten a box? All I got was a folder.

Haha no, the folder is what you want from recruiting.

The box is a bit of a community project that's going around so we all can get to know each other better. I'll be the first to admit that I don't get it 100%, so if Joanna or someone else could chime in and explain it in detail, that would be great!

It is a box that includes an notebook that we all write about ourselves and put in pictures. Then everyone puts in little gifty things for each other and as the box goes around we all learn more about each other. There is a longer post explaining it further back and I will post it on the thread that I made earlier if you want to read it.

I don't know if this is something that interests you, but 7 of us from Spring '03 did something called "The Box". It wasn't an original idea among us, as someone else had done it prior...anyhow. One person starts it and compiles a list of addresses of the participants. He/she also buys a journal or some sort of blank book--hardbound is a plus, but nothing too big or bulky...dollar stores are great for this. Each person will take 1-2 pages and put some photos of themselves, a brief bio and description of where you live (picture!), and a favorites list about Disney related things, etc. (Ride, Park, character, food, color,...). We filled the box with a few Disney related gifts, DVDs, CDs, books,etc. Ours, by the end included:
-pencils, pens, erasers, stationery, princess bubbles, candy(NO CHOCOLATE! It melts!--use good judgement).
-DVDs: MMC, DL Sing-A-Long, Modern Marvels, Travel Channel Specials, etc.
-Books: Imagineering field guides, Mousecatraz, park maps, etc.
-CDs: Soundtracks, park music
-Gifts: Socks, Disney bubbles, stickers, any other gifts for your new friends!

Be sure to tag certain gifts for each member, if it matters what they take. We also included a postcard or letter...to be opened first which explains what we included, why, and what each person could take, if it wasn't tagged. Some were obvious, if there's a pack of untagged pencils, you get one. Multiple erasers? Take one, etc.

Finally, after filling the box, and the first few should not fill it all the way, he/she sends it out to the person below them on the address list (in a flat-rate box available at your local post office--this way everyone pays the same amount, regardless of weight). DO not forget to include the address list and rules sheet when you pack the box (and have a copy of the address you're sending to outside). The rules list includes many of the guidlines here...I can send a run-down of our if you're interested.

We had one major rule: everyone gets 2 days with the box and it MUST be sent off!

This way everyone has a chance to get it at least twice, to put their offerings in, and recieve gifts/materials from those below them. Again, keep the group small. Whoever has the box last, closest to leaving brings it down with them.

I forgot to quote it but this is from sweater in june.
She had a great idea and we wanted to do it.

hey! umm the box is already out...but that does not mean that you can not be added to the list! I will try and add you to our list! I would need two things....first> you are Fall Advantage right? and Secondly>i would need ur address...you can PM me.

 

[sas0824]

[sas0824]

i guess i could have IMed you on aim.. i sure do know how to do that ..oh well... im not too much of a computer person

 

[CheshireSmile]

Hey Sarah, it's probably not a good idea to have your full address up here, if you're still on you might want to edit your post, just to be safe.

 

[Pendragon1515]

yea can we please take down your address...it makes me too nervious!


the way to fix that is in the bottom right of the box click EDIT and please remove your address. I have already taken down your address it just makes me scared...please and thank you

I'm new to the boards. I have an interview with Disney today at 2:30. I'm in a computer class now and I have a class 12-2. All I can think about is the interview. I'm so nervous. I'm kind of scared that I won't get in, even though I know it is fairly easy to get into. My top three picks for roles is Character Attendant, Vacation Planner, and Merchandise (I have worked at the Disney store in a mall). Keep you posted on how it goes.

Nicole~ welcome to the boards!

Also, good luck on your interview! Just remember to smile and answer the questions honestly and truthfully. I think if you show how excited you are then there will be no problem.
