Fall/Fall Advantage 2009 Hopefuls!!

[MarinaAndCharlie]

I feel so uneasy after my interview... I know people don't get into the program because it fills up, but does anyone know people that don't get in because Disney thinks they won't be a good fit? I mean I got in once, but had to turn it down. But I don't think I had a very good interview

I haven't heard of anyone who didn't get in because of a bad fit. Especially if you're enthusiastic about working for Disney, which I'm sure you are if you're on these boards.

What kind of stuff did they ask you and how did you reply?

Hi everyone! I'm Emily and I'm 21 (but I'll be 22 by the fall), and I just did my application yesterday and scheduled my interview today (for Feb 2nd with Christy). I've be waiting to do CP until I graduated because I couldn't lose an entire semester, so now I can finally apply! I'm hoping to be Photopass as Photography is my major...

Hiya everyone~! It’s Jordan again. I want to congratulate everyone who has survived their phone interviews, and wish the rest of you good luck! I’ve got my phone interview in a couple of hours, and I’m so excited! I’m hoping for a hospitality or PhotoPass position. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Here's my survey:

1. Your name?: Jordan
2. Your age?: 19; I will be 20 in May.
3. Male or female?: Female
4. Gay, straight, bi (optional): Straight
5. Where do you live?: Northwest Indiana (near Chicago)

10. Do you like to party? Will you be hosting parties/activites in your apartment?: I definitely want to get to know my future fellow cast members! ;-) Movie nights are my thing, lol.
11. What's your favorite food, and more importantly, can you cook well?: I’m definitely a foodie, and I particularly love Asian-inspired cuisine. I love being in WDW during the Food & Wine Festival. As for my personal cooking abilities, I’d rather leave the cooking up to the chefs, lol.
12. If your friends could describe you in three words what would they be?: Creative, responsible, and loving.
13. What kind of music/movies do you like?: I’m a movie buff; I love Disney movies (Beauty and the Beast), period pieces (the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice), vampire/werewolf films (Underworld), and anything that’s amusing and quirky (Serenity). I’ll talk movies anytime, btw. As for music, I mostly listen to movie soundtracks; I grew up listening to some great artists including Sting, Seal, Annie Lennox, Loreena McKennitt, and the list goes on…
14. Do you smoke, and if so, inside or outside?: I do not smoke.

17. Are you driving or flying down?: Flying.
18. What do you do for fun?: I watch movies, take photographs, read, write stories, ect.
19. What is your favorite quote?: Don’t get me started: I’m a quoting fiend. I love movie quotes, esp. Disney ones. My favorite Walt Disney quote would have to be, “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” Another one of my favorite quotes was said by Annie Leibovitz, my favorite photographer: “When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.” That holds true for me as well.
20. What are you most excited about in being in the WDWCP?: I’m excited to be able to spend six months in my favorite place either gaining real-world experience in hospitality services or helping families capture their favorite Disney moments as a PhotoPass photographer.

22. Name one good quality about yourself: I’m responsible; you can always depend on me!

Hi Everyone!

I'm Caitlin. It's possible that I have been chatting with some of you in the AIM chats from the Facebook group

I applied for the Fall program, and I had my phone interview yesterday. I think it went pretty well! My top choice is Merchandise. I can't wait to find out if I am accepted... I hope these next few weeks go by fast!

Good luck to everyone who hasn't interviewed yet!

 

[jewjubean]

So I wonder how the whole "overbooking" for the spring is going to affect us???

 

[jusTine87]

Hopefully not much :/

 

[ZeroToHero]

I hope not too. I'm glad we're all applying early, so that helps a lot... people who apply later are going to be disappointed.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

Welcome! What roles did you pick Briana?

 

[CheerBabe4]

I picked character attendant and attractions. My sister was in the college program a few years ago and was a few of the characters so she said the attendants have a lot of fun so it made me interested in it. What about you?
