The College Program Questions thread

[taylor2285]

I'm going on my first CP in a week, but I've noticed that all of the negative things I've heard came from "people who knew someone who knew someone who had the worst experience ever." And then if I ask a little further, every time they've told me that the person didn't really like WDW before going or had never been. No one who actually has done a program that I have spoken to had an overall negative take on it. I'd rather listen to anyone who's done it.

I loved my CP. Then again, I got some pretty cool stuff: Haunted Mansion, then Entertainment. There are a few things I didn't like ie the housing and having to room with someone else.

I did my first CP in spring 2004, I did an AI in Fall 2005 and this summer I'll be doing a CP summer alum. I can't wait I check in on May 22.

I have a quick question for all or any Disney CP Alum. I was wondering, if you're under 21, do you need a parent/guardian to be with you when you check in to sign papers? I was planning on coming down with a friend who got in, so I was wondering if we’ll need to alter our planes slightly.

 

[Joanna71985]

No, I don't think so. I was 19 last time when I checked, and I went around by myself. My dad was there, but just to help me move in (he stayed in the waiting area).

 

[TSR6]

Nope. Because you are 18+, as required per the CP requirements, you are responsible for yourself so you do not need them there. However, they are welcome to stay and help you move in, ect. They just cannot stay in the complex past 1am

Good question, you beat me to it. I am doing the same thing. Me and a friend are traveling down and we are both only 20. Glad to see I won't have any problems. I leave in 8 days so i'm glad we don't have to change plans at all!

Hey, I'm Jenny...and yeah, I'm a newbie. Nice to meet you guys (or at least read what you've posted)!

So...I got accepted for the Fall 2006 Program as a Custodian, but at the last minute, something came up and now I'm not able to go (what a bummer)! But I'm really hoping to go next summer though *crosses fingers* Anyway, both Custodial roles and QSFB don't sound very appealing, but I'm determined to get over that. I'm gonna have a field day trying to figure out which one of the two to pick. Any suggestions or pointers?

Thanks a ton!

I'm sorry to hear that Jenny. I am going down for Fall Advantage, but I also hope to do the summer alumni program next summer so maybe I will see you then.

Out of curiosity, are there any sports clubs or programs associated with the college program? Like maybe a group of kids who meet to play basketball or tennis or anything like that? Football maybe? I was hoping to play some kind of sport down there. Just wondering if there is usualy something going on or not.

I know when I was there for my Spring Advantage 2004 program I was placed in Vista Way then I put in a request to move and you have to write down your explanation for moving and I moved to Chatham which I was so happy for because it was quiter and nicer - but then I was placed from a 2 bedroom to a 4 bedroom with 7 other girls. I also had my car which was nice to get away from the roommates and explore Orlando a little bit.

Um about Job changes that's going to be difficult you can only change if you have a medical conditions that doesn't allow you to perform at your current job. I tried changing jobs and couldn't and that was like the 1st week when I was home sick and didn't want to work where I was but then I gave myself a chance and said if I still don't like it after training I'll go home and to my surprise I had a great time and glad I stayed! They have shut the top floor of the CHH for celebrities because I know that's what they did for Justin Timberlake when he was there. But I worked at Liberty Tree Tavern and we didn't shut off any of our dining rooms for celebrities. We had so many celebrities come in it didn't shock me we had Michael Chiklis from the Shield come in and I'm on his home video doing my spiel to his family when I sat his table!

But I had a blast and my grandma had such a great time down there when she was visiting me that she moved down there in August 05 and is now working down there! I try to make it back every year around Christmas to see everyone but this Christmas we're going to try for the 4-night Cruise b/c Campus Reps still get their discounts on the cruise! But I still keep in touch w/ people that I worked with down there and are still down there

Hey guys, so in the process of looking for sales for buying things for coming down in the fall I had a few random questions.
*Are the beds twin size? If so are they normal or long sized?
*Can we hang things on the walls? I saw some really cute wall clocks/frames but wasn't sure what we were allowed to stick to the walls and how.
Random I know! Thanks.

 

[sugahappy]

hey, do any former CPers know how close vista and chatham are? like could you walk from one to the other easily?? thanks in advance!!
