No Role Specific questions

[IWasBornToLoveDisney]

Hey guys!

Hope you all are having a good day and aren't stressing about applying/phone interviews too much!

I had my interview today at 2:36 and I feel really good about how it went. However, I've been thinking about it (I mean how can I not) and it is starting to strike me as odd that I didn't get any role specific questions.

She asked about my top roles (and oddly only took my top two, she later noted that my third was merch because I had high interest, but that was really it) and I told her attractions, preferably something spieling, GMR, or more character based like a TOT Bell Hop. Then we went on to my second, BBB/PL. She originally only said BBB so I asked if the PL is included in the casting section for that role. She said yes and asked if I would prefer the PL over BBB. I said it would be interesting to work with more boys and girls, but that either would be fine with me because of the character work behind the role (I'm a theatre major).
She then went back and noted that I had mentioned TOT and asked if that would be my top location preference and I said that I love the ride. She then asked if I would like GMR and I said I would love it so she put that as my first attraction preference... She then asked me about other spieling attractions to gauge my interest in them and asked if I was sure about playing a character within the roles. I said that that is what I am extremely interested in.

There were obviously other questions and what not, but I never got the role specific questions like what to say if a child is too short for an attraction or what to do if a child is shy/scared at BBB/PL.

Has that happened to anyone else? What do you guys make of it?

Thanks in advance!

Good luck to everyone still applying and interviewing soon!

I name dropped Enchanted Tales with Belle as a character attendant and Jungle Cruise and GMR as attractions because of my theatre and improv experience, but I never officially requested them. :/

I had a lot of role specific questions but some of them threw me for a loop-despite my extensive research there were a few I'd never heard before! As long as you feel confident in everything you said that is what matters! I wasn't asked where I would want to be placed or anything and it would have been awesome to give a request like you did-I would definitely look at it as a positive. You told your interviewer what you wanted about locations and roles, so I wouldn't worry about it. They accept thousands each year and everyone's interview is different. At least you have had an interview as lots of people are still stuck in submission. I'm sure you did great!

Great perspective! When she asked me how I was feeling I was respond, "I'm feeling Supercalifragelisticxepledicuos and she ATE IT UP. So good vibes
