The College Program Questions thread

[bcanderson78]

thanks for the welcome!

I know about the whole over 21 deal as far as placing is concerned. Thanks for clarifying it for me. I just don't want anything to interfere or distract me from the real reason I'll want to be down there. What are the chances of getting into each complex anyway? Is Vista higher than Chatham or vise versa? I'm assuming Vista is the larger complex of the two. Thanks for your help, hopefully someone can help us out. thanks!

Hopefully I can answer a few of the questions out there about the "responsible" housing quest. As far as which complex you are placed into, a lot of it has to do with your arrival date. There is a constant cycle of people leaving and arriving every week, so my best suggestion to you all is take a look around you when you arrive. The order you all line up in is most of the time the order in which the roommates are determined. I had chosen 3 roommates and the girl in front of me and the two behind me were all grouped together.

Another recommendation is to set up some ground rules early on with your roommates. This will help later on if you discover there is a real partier in the bunch. When you request to be moved to another apartment, you'll have documentation and "apartment rules" that everyone agreed upon to help your case.

While Vista has the bad reputation, it is really on a case by case scenario. Most people are really cool about it and won't cause any problems. The ones that do, usually get terminated from their work locations for not fulfilling their roles anyways, so you'd be okay.

This ended up being fairly long-winded but I hope I was able to answer at least a couple of your questions! If you have any others, please feel free to post more and CONGRATS on receiving an offer to become a CP!!

Hey I was wondering if anyone knew if it was to late for me to apply for the Fall 07 Cp?

Nope, not too late. Good luck.

 

[theblondebee]

Thank You very much!

 

[Joanna71985]

You are welcome.

 

[theblondebee]

Wait! Do you know when the deadline is?

 

[Joanna71985]

Not off the top of my head. But check out www.wdwcollegeprogram.com. That has all the CP info.

I went to the audition today. It was a great experience! There seemed to be many people there who were already in the CP.

The audition was exactly what people have been saying/what I was told by my interviewer. In the first part, we learned the short movement exercise. I was called into the 2nd round, which had the animation exercise and the more advanced dance exercise. It was fun, and we got to perform that 3 or 4 at a time in front of one judge.

The good news is....I was offered a role as a character performer!! It was a pleasant surprise to hear so soon! This is because the recruiters were right there and could tell you in person, instead of through email. They said I would be receiving my packet within 3 weeks.

I am so, so happy that I have been invited to do the WDWCP. Being a Character Performer was my top choice from the roles.

Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement!

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you- and so jealous that you got to hear so early! My audition was a week ago on Friday and I am waiting and waiting and waiting....

But good luck and great job to you!

WOW!!!! Congratulations!!! That is so awesome! Did they tell you what character or do you have to wait to find out? Were the same people who taught you the dance also the ones who offered you the role? Did they video tape you guys too? You are so lucky!!! Sadly, I am still waiting to hear.

CONGRATULATIONS, IRIS!!!! That is AWESOME! When will you find out what character you are?! That is SO incredible! You're so lucky you got to find out...like a lot of other people....I'm still waiting! I am so happy for you...and hopefully we'll both meet each other in person down at Disney!

Congrats Iris!! That is so exciting! I am so happy for you. And if you get advantage, we may get to work together.

As for there being CPs there, I think that audition may have been for people wanting to extend from the Spring 2007 CP.

Thank you caseface, BelleChick, Disneygirl, and Joanna!

They told me that I was in the height range for Mickey, so I will be friends with Mickey. The lady who taught us the dance was Gina. The lady who offered me the role was one of the ladies I talked to when I signed in. We weren't video taped yesterday.

It would be cool if we met each other down there!

Yes, there seemed to be many people there who wanted to extend their CP.

I hope those of you who recently auditioned hear back soon! You may get an email first before you get something in the mail (that is how they did it last year, I believe).

 

[Joanna71985]

yeah. I received an email before receiving my letter.

 

[packwingfn]

That must be the greatest news that anyone can receive. They get to be "friends" with MICKEY MOUSE! I know if it wasn't so hot in those costumes, that I would love to be Mickey Mouse for one day...

 

[Joanna71985]

Now I hate it that I am 2 inches too tall (I am 5'2).

I have a tough question, my mother is not too happy with my schooling right now. She does not like that I want to be and Education major, along with EMS. I really would love to do this College Program, how do I tell her??? I need some serious help with this one!

 

[Disneygirl3919]

I would emphasize what an incredible opportunity it is...it's a great thing to do not only as an education major, but any major. Disney is an awesome company, and the CP is a great way to get experience. Plus...mom's are usually all about opportunities, so you might be surprised...she might just be thrilled about it! Share the website with her, and just sincerely express how much it means to you. Good luck!
