Good luck all Round 2 applicants!

I have reserved to figuring out what day I’ll get the “thanks but no thanks” email. Figured it would be emotionally safer to expect disappointment. Can't be disappointed if you except disappointment right?

Lol, true. Its amazing the stress we put ourselves through for an unpaid job that gives you 1 trip to Disney at the end! .

Completely agree. For me it is being able to share and on with people who truly understand and share a passion I have. My best friend gets me on so many levels, but Disney, she will never fully understand. Maybe she will see a little insight when we are there in a few week.

For me it's really about just wanting the experience. It seems like an awesome group to be a part of. I love Disney and I actually just love to write, so I think it's a natural fit for me. The trip is obviously a perk, but we go enough anyway, it's not like we wouldn't go otherwise. I think the thing that excites me the most is the training, because it's an opportunity to be around like-minded people who love Disney as much as I do.

That is an excellent way to phrase it. I wrote for a newspaper when I was younger so it is something I have always loved to do.

Wow, it's not even been two days , and I know it's like 95% chance of not advancing, and yet the waiting still feels like torture.

The good news is that we'll likely hear within the next week. The bad news is, it might feel like the longest week ever . Stay strong! (and as busy as you can!!). I'm trying, although the rain might mess with my weekend plans.

Good luck to you all! I am considering this for next year. Although I already feel like I will be disappointed so I am not sure it is worth it!

I took the day off to work from home so that an electrician could do some work. I have been catching up around the house. Thought for sure I would be distracted. Absolutely NOT!!

Don't say that! You have no idea. Last year was my first time giving it a shot and I made it to R2. You don't know if you don't try! This board is incredibly supportive and encouraging to each other. Kept me so level headed the last two years.

Well I have taken to good luck charms at this point. And I did something I swore I wouldn’t do after it nearly destroyed me last year. I joined the Facebook group and watched other applicants’ videos. Last year it as the biggest confidence killer. But just as it did last year, curiosity killed the cat and got the best of me.

I’m in a similar group, and same! Watching everyone else’s videos was very humbling lol.

As far as the good luck charms, I’ll raise you a deck of tarot cards that I am clinging to for hope right now

I know it’s easier said than done, but don’t get too discouraged by watching other people’s videos. I’ve seen people with videos I thought were perfect not make it on the panel, or even round 3. You just never know what they’re looking for.
