and thank you to the other user also, i believe i read earlier your name was anna? or was that someone else?

Yup, that's my name I'm somewhat in the same boat but my situation is a little weird I made myself sick over worrying about getting in and I just had to relax and tell myself that there's only two options, either I get in or I don't. As much as I REALLY want to get in there's no point in worrying! I want this to be a positive experience so I just have to relax and wait for something in the mail. Keeping busy helps too, that way i'm not nervous when I go to get the mail It's been almost two months now but my recruiter said that I should hear something soon so i'm just going to have to wait a little longer

I was wondering how everything was going with you...did you get the performer thing worked out?


PS: by the way, you can all call me Caitee.

Thanks for asking Caitee They said that the performer role was taken off but the recruiting office also told me that I had chosen some limited roles; it's really my fault for only choosing three. So I re-faxed my application in with twelve roles I was really starting to get nervous so I checked everything that I would be okay with doing, not just things I really wanted. I'm hoping that helps them place me easier. My recruiter said I should hear something soon (I hope) I'm sort of stuck in limbo but I think I will be okay.

i think if they werent going to accpet you, they would not have gone through all the trouble to try and help you. i had paperwork issues (i checked instead of initialing the last page of the role checklist - silly me), and thats kind of what my mom told me too. also, 12 roles is a lot! i thought i was doing well by marking off 10 hahaha! i think your chances of getting rejected are nearly non-existent.

Oh good, I'm glad they could take it off. Hopefully they can still take into account which roles were your top 3 and go from there. Honestly it seems strange to me that they would say you were too limitied, it wasn't like you just checked one role. I mean I checked five, but still, I told my interviewer that I really wanted the top three, the other two were safeties. She kind of got stern with me and told me that if I wanted to get into the program I had to be more open. So that was really worrying me, but then it turned out that I got my top choice anyway. I don't really know how all that worked. But I had a feeling that you will get a role that you will like. (Hopefully really soon, too! lol. )

Yeah I thought it was a little strange too because I applied really early. The only thing that upset me was that my recruiter didn't tell me. She just told me to wait and see what happens. I thought it was a little strange so I called the recruiting office and they told me what was going on. I'm glad I did though! At first I was thinking more about what role I wanted but now I really just want to get it; I don't care where they put me! I think i'll be able to have a good experience no matter where i'm placed.

Okay, this is going to sound weird but when I was at Disneyland a few weeks ago my mom and I were in the magic shop and we were asking the magic eight ball questions (i'm superstitious like that) and I asked it if I was going to get it in and it said yes and then I asked it if I was going to get the role I wanted and it said no. Shortly after this whole thing happened and I was like....the eight ball was right!

I would say that they second question might have been pushing the 8-ball's magic too far and you should just count the first answer.

But you know what's funny...I was at an amusement park (not Disney...gasp!) a week ago and they had some fortune tellers and I asked her the same question! She told me to hush, hush because I can't talk about working for the mouse while at this place, but then she told me that she felt that this would all work out in my favor.

That's so funny! What attraction are you hoping to work at?

I haven't decided completely yet...I am thinking I might be placed in the Magic Kingdom, and if that is true then I think I want to be in Fantasyland and do Peter Pan. Really, I am pretty open, I am just excited to be going.

Just had my interview! ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh

I was asked a question about what I would look for if I was interviewing applicants for the phone interview... I don't quite remember what I answered for that.
I've never noticed posts about being asked about getting along with roommates or resolving conflicts...
I also hadn't realized they only ask you about 3 of the roles you select, when I asked my interviewer she asked me about a 4th. I put down Transportation, Attractions, Character Attendant, Merchandise and Recreation. I was asked about merchandise, attractions, transportation, then she also asked me about character attendant.

I was surprised the interview only lasted just over 20 minutes, is that about how long everyone else's was?

No, Character performer requires an audition, character attendant is the cast member that escorts/chaperons characters
