I did a PI this past semester (well, still doing.. my last day is Friday) and I'm doing a management internship this upcoming semester. It is very similar to your CP check-in (if you had one). Your check-in day at Vista Way can last anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour or 2, depending upon your status with the company. If you're a current up-to-date cast member (including campus rep), all you'll do it give them your name, check with housing (if you're living in northbridge.. i didnt, so i skipped that line), be approved by disney look people, and get your blue main entrance pass. I was done, litterally, in 10 minutes. You then need to head over to access control to get your new ID (still white, unfortunetly), and a housing meeting if you're living in northbridge, then the rest of the day is yours.
if you've never been a CM or haven't been kept up to date, it takes a bit longer. You have to fill out all of your hiring paperwork (W-2, Proof of Residency, etc), check-in with northbridge (if you're living there), talk with a disney look rep, get fingerprinted, and then get your packet. You'll have an orientation to the program and/or a housing meeting later in the day. chances are, you'll have traditions (the 4-hour disney orientation class) at disney university the next day (saturday) either 8-12ish or 1-5ish where you get your nametag and ID. Then you'll either start working on sunday or monday.. Usually sunday if you're working in the parks, or monday if you're an office and technical roles.
I hope that helps! You guys can PM me or IM me with any questions
