hey guys just got back from my job interview and it went very very very well!!!
Based on my personality they are putting me in the spot as a restaurant hostess which is exactly the job i wanted, now though all the positions are open so i have to wait til around mid October for them to call me so i can start working! so excited though because that means as soon as the spots available i'm going to be a Disneyland cast member!!

CONGRATS!!! That is beyond amazingly great news!!!!
You must tell us where you will be hostessing at! I remember hearing that CMs rotate where they work....last month the guy working at the coffee shop on main st told us he was working at a food cart outside a few days earlier. So I wonder if that would apply to hostess jobs as well?
Again, congrats!!!!!

Thank you so much, Sara!! I love the Snow White theme for the maps this year. I think Jazz will be very happy to see those today when she arrives (well, I guess she's probably there now), since she's a big Snow White fan!!

I'm forgetting what the maps looked like last year (can you believe that in my haste during last year's trip I forgot to grab a map from each park? - I was so mad at myself), but it seems like they always look a little similar to the previous year's maps, don't they?

Congratulations. Do you know, will you go thru Traditions, or do they do that at DL--could be just a WDW thing.

If you start to work while we are there, we will definitely stop by to say hello and wish you well.

So exciting that you will have a name tag and all that stuff. Then we will be hounding you for all the insider information.

Hey guys! anyone who's been recently, or is there now, did you happen to see if they have the special antenna toppers for Halloween? like maybe the pumpkin head mickey or the candy corn one? thanks in advance for any help!

Check out pg 5 of this thread,
(http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2560082&page=5)
VictoriaAndMatt has posted TONS of merchandise pics, including some antenna toppers!
From the pics, I see a ghost mickey, vampire mickey, scarecrow mickey, and a pack of variety holiday ones (4th of july, thanksgiving, valentines day, etc)

Here are some pictures I took on Main street:

I liked these planters. I have never seen the use of the dark brown/burgundy colored grass in the planters before. There were lots of them used in the planters on Main street.

I was just searching for this post to show you VictoriaAndMatt's photos, including the bag of antenna toppers - just some of her many, many wonderful photos she has shared with us. I see that while I was doing this, JH87 already linked you to the post (too quick on the trigger for me, JH87!!). Oh well, here it is again!!

anyhow so the maps are nice for halloween this year...

does anyone know how late the Woody BBQ round up is open on Saturdays? Esp on Oct 30th? And.... is the French Market.... I think thats what it is called... is that open during the Halloween Parties? Thanks!

 

[where's_my_prince]

thanks so much everyone!!! and yes they do Traditions at DL, i will have mine as soon as they call me to tell me when i can start working =)

 

[funatdisney]

So I have looked at the pictures I took from last Sunday's visit and I realized that I have no night time pics (of course- I only did a half day trip duh) and no food pics. Not that I need to for this thrad- VictoriaAndMatt did a great job!!

So I know what I will be focusing on for my Oct trip. I also plan on taking tons of pics at the MHP. I thought I had taken a lot already!! I will have to make sure the card is empty when I go.

Boy I am enjoying all the Halloween Pictures. We were at DL for the party two years ago, missed last year as we didn't have our APs last year. Anyways, does anyone know if they have a new travel coffee mug available at the ODV coffee carts? I have mine from a couple years ago, but it is getting overused! That and that popcorn tub are high on my list of must buys if available.

 

[mmmears]

Just wanted to say "thanks" to everyone here for sharing all the information and photos. It's helping us decide if we are really going to go or not!

Totaly off topic but I had to tell someone......My DD 13 school called (my first thought was shes sick and I need to come get her), hi this is schools name Victorias school, we wanted to invite you to the assembly tomorrow because she is going to recieve an award. My responce wow an award for what? Well its a secret . and we don't want you to tell her. Okay so is it something a bunch of kids are getting? No she is the only ONE in 7th grade and then one other child from 8th. Mind you her school has something like 1,500 kids for 2 grades. Ugh so now my DD is going to get some type of award, I have no idea what, (did she win a drawing, getting reconized for good behavior, I could go on....) I can't tell her (it stinks because Im so excited for her and want to share the excitement) UGH its killing me. Just needed to share it with someone so I don't spill the beans to her. Thanks for listening.

Just wanted to say congratulations to you both, mom4princesses and where's_my_prince!! I have been skipping around in my replies and trying to go back and get the ones I missed, but I didn't want to forget to go back and address these posts!!

Mom4princesses - I can't wait to find out what the award for your daughter is!! The suspense must be killing you!!

Where's_my_prince - that is fantastic news!! It is not easy to get a job with Disney - at least not as easy as some folks think - on either the business end or the entertainment end. I was once told by a CM that an easy way to get one's foot in the door is to apply to Vacation Planning. A lot of people new to the DLR job situation start in Vacation Planning and work their way up - it's a great way to learn things and also share info with other people.

But you don't need to do that!! You got hired!! I can't wait to find out where you end up working!! You must tell us immediately. If I get to DLR in October after you start working - or later in December for the holidays - I want to come and say hello to you!!

Here are some pictures I took on Main street:

Excellent photos, Liza - as always!! In fact, I meant to say something about your pictures yesterday - the ones of the pumpkins over the turnstiles - and the pages moved quickly and I forgot. Those shots were so clear, and the zoom lens worked wonders because I loved seeing those character pumpkins up close!! Great angles and vantage points that you used as well!

 

[where's_my_prince]

disney parks blog has some new posts, and these events are happening in October, so i'm posting them here cuz they might be happening during your trip

I think Elec-TRON-nica is the reason there are little decorations in DCA because its starts Oct 8th another reason might be...


http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...isney-bear-debuts-at-disney-parks-in-october/
they are setting up photo spots all around DCA for Duffy,where you can take your Duffy and get photos, its gonna be a big deal at DCA since it will be an exclusive, you wont be able to buy him at DL or DTD
