Congrats, and welcome to the DIS!

See you in FL (I check-in Aug 10)! What role do you have?

 

[SakuraSaku013]

Awesome! Nice to meet you...I was hoping to meet some others who would be there. I'm going to be in merchandise ^^, not my first choice, but honestly I'm just happy that I got accepted, haha. I was going to do a character performer and do the audition, but my interviewer told me it would decrease my chances of getting in >.> so I decided against it. C'est la vie!!

Well hello there! I'm Abby, I'm 18 and just about to start college in the fall. I'll be attending Kalamazoo College, right next door to Western Michigan University, where I'll double major in Art/Art History and English with a concentration in Media Studies.

I'm a CP hopeful - maybe Fall 2010. I'd love to be a character performer, especially face, but we'll see how that goes. I'm also interested in the new concierge role, attractions, photopass, and fsfb.

Eventually I'd like to be an Imagineer. If that doesn't work, I'd like to do museum/gallery work or work in advertising.

Hey Im lindsay, im 22, and a senior at Buffalo State College. I did my 1st college program back for the fall advantage program 2008. I had the best time of my life and now I am applying for the Spring 2010 program in attractions. I really want to work Jungle Cruise. anyone else applying for spring?

 

[disneychickforever]

So I'm pretty sure I introduced myself when I did my first CP, but I doubt anyone is looking that far back (heck, I don't even want to look that far back to see if I did) so I'm just going to reintroduce myself.

I'm Fallon . My first CP was for Fall 2007, but I ended up having to leave after about a month due to a knee injury. But since then, I've been dying to go back, and applied for Fall 2008, Spring 2009, and Fall 2009. It took 3 semesters and a knee surgery to get my butt back in the program, and I am determined to make it work. I'm majoring in Hospitality, and plan on working full time after I get my degree at WDW. I currently go to Broward College, and will be going to UCF eventually. I arrive August 19th.

I also work for an awesome website called castmember.com and I recommend everyone to sign up and join. It's a free and fairly new website for past, current, and future CMs and a great way to meet people and everything. I actually met my roommate on there, which was wicked awesome.

Ok shameless plug over lol. I hope to meet up with all of you, feel free to PM me or message me on Facebook (look up Fallon C.L. Adamo, I'm the only one), just tell me who you are and everything .

I'm going to close with a little wisdom for future and current CPs. Do everything in your power to not get termed and don't quit unless you have a REALLY good reason. I mean I quit because I couldn't even walk, and it still was extremely hard to get back in. And Disney owns so many companies, it might damper your job searches in the future even if you aren't planning to stay with Disney now. I wasn't my first CP, I was going to be a teacher, but look at me now.

Ok now I'm done

Hey! I'm a Communications major, and I can't wait to apply for Spring 2010!!!! I found out about this program last year but dropped the idea for some reason. I think I just decided that I would wait and go after graduation. But I don't wanna wait now!

I know I'll check off merchandising, FSFB, and attractions, and probably a lot more. I don't remember all of the roles off the top of my head, but I remember reading a lot of them and being really interested. I'll tell them I'm willing to do QSFB as well, if they ask. Don't they get paid a little more and get tons of opportunity for more hours anyway? Money's not my concern- but I do think that would leave me making more than I do now! That would always be a good thing to tell my parents

I'm excited about doing some of the classes too! I might ask some questions about that or if anyone has any stories they want to share, that would be great! Classes isn't something I've been hearing a lot about when I look at forums, blogs, and Vlogs.

It's nice to get to know all of you! I've been looking at these boards for awhile and found myself wanting to reply and realizing, I haven't signed up yet! So I finally joined

Hi
I'm Kelly, 19, and I attend the Univ of Alaska-Fairbanks. I am majoring in Ecology/Biology.
My home is in Homer, Alaska, and although my hometown and my college town are both in Alaska, the weather is much different in Fairbanks than in Homer! Not that I wasn't aware of that before but I hadn't spent an entire winter season up in Fairbanks until going to the university.

During the summer months I work on a charter fishing boat and I also drive a water taxi for one of the local water taxi companies.

I've been to WDW and DL several times ... with family & friends.

I'll post a picture when I get a chance!

hmmmmm ... upon reading more postings on this college board, it appears that it's basically for those individuals who have attended or will be attending the CP at Disney ... I was under the impression that it was a general college themed board. Whoops!

Guess I'm in the wrong place!

 

[DisneyDiva22]

Hello all! My name is Katie. I am 22 years old and I live in Racine, WI which is just about 30 minutes away from Milwaukee. I am a theater education major and will be graduating this May. I am planning on doing the Fall Advantage 2010 program, so I would be moving to Florida right after I graduate.

I hope to get a role in Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, Attractions or Merchandise. The attractions that I would LOVE to work at would be easily The Haunted Mansion or The Great Movie Ride. I love Disney and Disney World especially and am hoping that I am able to work for such a great company next year.
