spring 2009

[_frazzle]

This coming Monday will be the 3-week mark for me as well. I'll give it until Wednesday and then I'll make a phone call but let's hope it doesn't come down to that for any of us!

My 3 week mark will be on Tuesday. This is driving me insane. Thankfully one of my best friends is doing the program with me so the two of us have each other to ***** and whine to (besides everyone from here and Facebook)... without all of you, I would have COMPLETELY lost my mind, not just casually lost SOME of it while waiting...

As the poster above me mentioned, I'm so gald im not waiting all by myself either! My friends and family just don't get it. lol... I vent to my best friend about this waiting process and she's just like "yeah sounds sucky, but whatever."... she's not a disney fan like I am so she just doesn't understand

Anyway, i'm hoping that the recruters that have said "no delays" type of responses are the right ones. lol My 3 week mark is on monday, too and i HOPE i get it then

Truthfully (and this is me just making an educated guess) I highly doubt Disney is gonna bleed the clock much longer on this. The on campus presentations start soon and there are still a ton of us on here who haven't gotten any response outside of hearing they received our stuff. With all the applications that are going to be coming in I'm sure Disney won't want us calling constantly and will probably process whatever that have fairly quickly to prevent future backlog.

I just heard from my recruiter that it was going to be another three weeks before I heard, and I interviewed three weeks ago next Monday. That's a month and a half if she's right! I feel like something not normal is going on. Hope we all start hearing this week. Glad everyone else is waiting with me.

the thing that gets me is disney tells you to call them if you havent heard in four weeks. So if people are saying that letters arent going out for another three weeks that seems insane. That would put me at 6 weeks since my internview. There is no way they are going to wait that long. I personally need to know because i am trying to get all my grad and law school applications out before i leave for disney and if i need to schedule interviews i need to do it before i leave in january, so i will be calling next friday if i havent heard.

I am sure they hear my name and are like no her again. I called every day for about a week and a half clearing up my rehire status. Needless to say i know have a yes rehire instead of a restricted lol

From the site:
If a student attends the e-presentation:
Because these students must mail their applications and role checklists to the College Recruiting office, students should receive notification within two to three weeks of their materials reaching the College Recruiting office.
This is not necessarily two to three weeks their interviews.

Depending on a school's internal mail system, this time could be a bit longer than three weeks. Everyone who interviews should receive notification. If the time frame after your interview (if you attended a campus presentation) or when you mailed your materials (if you attended the e-presentation) has exceeded four weeks, please send an e-mail to College Recruiting at wdw.college.recruiting@disney.com with your full name and complete mailing address. Please also explain your situation in the message.

Ahhahah I was just about to post this.

ok i've beent rying my hardest to look at the bright side of this, since i try to be an optimistic person and i've finally decided that:

People may be waiting a long time now that applied early on in the process... BUT, can you imagine how longyou'll be waiting if you haven't applied yet? Yikes.

So if you have already interviewed, just be happy about that You could be waiting a LOTTTTTTTTTTT longer if you hadn't

so did they announce dates for the Spring 2009 CP?

No one will know what the dates are until someone gets a letter and can accept the offer.

 

[joepic]

I wish I was a year older so I could participate in Spring '09, I have to wait until Spring 2010... Is it too early to create a thread?

LOL probably a little early although you never know.

I know the site says 2-3 weeks from receiving your info, but my recruiter told me 2-3 weeks from the interview, plus I faxed my application the same day as the interview and mailed it the next day anyway. Today is my 2 week mark

 

[Jules76126]

So I heard that they just started making offers this week. Talk about being behind. However, it was assured that everyone that applied early should hear in the next week or two so I suppose thats good news for everyone. As long as I know by the beginning of Oct I'll be happy.

I couldn't sleep last night so I started packing XD That's right, i've probably jinxed myself but I couldn't help it. I'm way too excited

you started PACKING?

What exactly are you packing this early?

I thought i was going to be packing early if i get accepted by starting like 2 weeks before i go down. lol....

XD They weren't things that were absolutely necessary just things I didn't want to forget because they would make my room more homey. Stuff like photos, a few stuffed animals, my video camera, I think I got some disney stuff in there too XD

ARE YOU FOR REALS? ahhhhh! did you talk to someone in the know? oh god i hope so! this is the perfect end to my already nice day!

Yah i called them the other day as did some other people. They assured me that everyone should know soon. I mentioned that I personally needed to know since I am currently applying to law schools and PhD programs and need to schedule interviews before i leave for Orlando. The lady was very nice and said if you applied early that you should know within the next two weeks. Monday is my four week mark so im hoping for something by mid next week since i do live in MA and it could take a while for the letter to get here.

yup! I emailed my recruiter and she basically told me that they started making offers this week and everyone that interviewed in the very beginning should hear something within the next 2 weeks ( i'm assuming that time frame is to make sure everyone's stuff gets out and then for however long the mail carrier takes) and she said that if I don't hear anything within 2 weeks I'm to contact her again, and she'll let me know

From the sounds of her saying "startED making offers this week" leads me to believe stuff has been sent out and people should be hearing really soon

ugh I'm dying! I'm hoping the first arrival date is the 5th so I can be there over New Years and chill at the resort until check in.
