The College Program Questions thread

[Mirage]

Anybody know what position the people who work at the Kidcot stops would fall under? TIA

Are those the arts and crafts tables at the different countries in World Showcase? If so, I think that's relegated to international students who work at those particular pavilions.

it's part of the rotation of working the pavilions. My friend was at Living Seas and it was a position you could be rotated into at the Seas.

You can work in the Living Seas? What kinds of positions do you work there?

I knew someone from my CP who worked at the Crush the Turtle show.

From my friend that worked there: Greeter, Exit Greeter, Bruce's Lair, Turtle Talk, Kidcot.

What is that position called when you are applying?

 

[teh fish]

um...for the CP is called "operations." You never know what location you'll get though.

Question:

Does one have to be a full time college student in order to qualify for the College Program? Will part time fulfill the requirement?

Thanks!

I have always wanted to do the CP, but was unable to previously because I could not afford to take a semester off... Well, along came the return of the SUMMER PROGRAM and I am ready to try it out.

I know that it is limited to quick service food & beverage and custodial... I am hoping for QSFB.

Has anyone worked QSFB and want to share insights?

For those of you who have done the character audition what is it like? I've allready watched the video on it. Just wanted some more information on it.

The audition wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I went to the audition in Boston this year for the Fall 2006 CP. When you arrive, they measure you and give you a number (I turned out to be 5'2 1/2" and was #13, out of 42 people). Then you have some time to stretch and talk to people (usually) while they get ready. Then it is time to begin. What happens next depends on the amount of people and how much room there is. Usually at the audition everyone goes together in the beginning, but since we had hardly any room, we went in 2 groups. First, Gene (our auditioner) demonstrated how to animate. Then he started going over the dance part. It is in counts of 4. Finally, it is TIME. You go in groups (it was groups of 4). First you animate (the topic varies, but mine was animating meeting a character and getting a snack). Then you go into the dance part. it starts out easy, but gets harder throughout the dance. Gene did the dance in front in case we needed to look up. After this, what happens next depends on different factors. The next part was the puppet audition. If you were too short, or whatever reason, you weren't called back. I wasn't called back. So I don't know how the puppet part went, but I heard it was just moving your hand in time to music. And after that, more people were let go and some people were kept for more (I'd assume more difficult) dancing (and again, I got these 2 from my friend- she stayed for both). So that is how the audition went. 1 thing to remember- do not practice while the groups are going. One of the audition people actually asked people to stop practicing. So keep that in mind- it's rude, and distracting. And for those auditioning, good luck!

Thanks!

The website says you must be enrolled as either a full-time or part-time college student and have completed atleast one semester.

Hey guys.

I'm new to the forum and right now am waiting to hear back from Disney! I auditioned last week in Ann Arbor and apparently my audition went well because they'd like me to be a character performer! I did my interview and right now I am waiting to hear back! As you can tell I'm really excited and hoping everything works out.

Is anyone out there trying to go Fall '06? Let me know, because that's when I'm shooting for!

Bear with me as I try to figure out how this whole forum thing actually works!

~Holly~

Hi Holly. Welcome to Disboards. I too auditioned to be a character (in Boston). Unfortunately, I didn't get the character performer role, but I am still waiting to see if I was accepted (hopefully character attendant or operations). Good luck!

Hey guys-

I have a question for you experienced ones out there. I'm graduating this coming fall, and hoping to do the Disney College Program next spring. The only problem is that in the fall, I will be doing my internship at home (south Florida) and not at school (Tallahassee), so I will not be able to attend any audition stuff at my school- most likely.

Would I be able to attend the presentation/ interview/auditions at another school in south Florida? Or should I just try and go to Orlando? I sort of feel like Orlando might be pretty crowded, and maybe I'd have a better chance elsewhere.

Has anyone done their audition (to be a character performer) or interview in Orlando? Or do you think I may be able to go to another school? I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!

 

[teh fish]

you can attend any audition, as long as you watch/attend the presentation and have the interview.

 

[FSUDisneyGirl]

thanks teh fish!

Hey MissHolly and welcome to the boards! Congrats on your acceptance as a Character Performer, that is amazing!

I am going down for Fall '06, and so are a lot of the people here. If you search through some of the old threads you'll find quite a few. It's going to be great!
