The College Program Questions thread

[Joanna71985]

I plan to do the same thing. My family is already telling me that I might end up liking FL and staying there. I still would like to work at Disneyland though. I figured you were talking about the factors in entertainment. I figure it depends on who is already in the positions and personality and all. I seem to get along with everybody so I'm not too worried there.

That's good. I have never been to DL, and would like to go there someday.

Alright I am back for more questions, by the way I decided I am going to do this and leaving in January. FIrst how does the bus system work and do you have to pay for it. Do you get to pick the apartment complex you want to live at or do they pick it for you. ALso is there a desk in the bedroom. Since I will be graudating and this will be count as my internship my advisor said that I need a signature from the people i will be working for, since I wont know till I get there do you know who I can contact with about this. I am also wondering how the traditions class work is it an all day thing? Thankyou in advance.

The bus system is free. There is a bus schedule with the times for all the parks, DTD, Walmart, ect. You can ask to be placed in a complex, and the # of bedrooms, and they will try to place you in what you want. There is no desk in the bedroom (at least not at Chatham), but there are nightstands that could work for a laptop. As for Traditions, it is about 6-7 hours long.

Hey, I was wondering about after check in. If you get placed at Chatham or Commons, will the bus be there to take you to your new apartment or do you need to get a ride? I really want to stay at Chatham, and I'll have my suitcases and computer with me, but I won't have a car.

Thanx!

hey totally off topic but how did you get your ticker to work? I tried cut and pasting the ezboard code and it didn't show up.

I am not totally positive about this, but I have seen buses drop people off at Chatham (actually drive inside at Chatham) so I have a feeling that now people can get dropped off at Chatham.

Try the bbCode one, the first one on the bottom.

Contact either your rep (if you have their info) or contact WDWCP Recruiting: wdw.college.recruiting@disney.com.

Since I don't have a champus rep I should be able to ask the e-mail person about certian things right? I was just wondering because when I asked a question about the "ticket" for auditions I was kinda brushed off and didn't get a great reply.

Oh yeah. You can ask the Disney person in email anything. I was constantly emailing them about stuff.

That def makes me feel better. I'm trying not to ask the typical common questions but there are little things. I suppose until I get my packet I should hold off on some. I was just wondering how long it will be after auditions that they will send out packets and stuff.

I don't know if it varies by audition. But I found out about 5 days after that I didn't get performer, and about 1 1/2 MONTHS after that I got character attendant.

Well hopefully it doesn't take that long. I wanna get my packet and everything in order sooner rather than later. And my bday is nov 20th so I hope I hear something by then!

Hey, I am new to this but my mom is on here all the time. She told me that I should take a look at the forums for information on the college program. I have not seen anything on the program that is offered in Anaheim. The majority of these threads are based on the program in Florida. Does anyone know anything on the program in california?

I want to work with the marketing and advertsiing team in Burbank when I graduate college in 2009. But I don't know whether I should wait to take the classes and enroll in the program when I am a senior, or do it as a junior. Any information you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!​

Welcome to DISboards, LulubellesDD!
I found a link that you might be interested in, but when I tried posting, it wouldn't show up. If you go to Google and type in "Disney college program Anaheim," then it should be one of the first links that shows up.

As far as when to do the program? I'm not exactly sure....but I know there are other people on here who have done it already and can help you out. I'm planning to do the College Program the semester after I graduate.

I hope you find the information you need!

 

[MissSpooky]

Well my plan is to do my CP at WDW because it's more encomapssing. But I eventually want to work at DLR because I'm just a Cali girl at heart. But who knows once I get down there and immerse myself in Disney....

But on another note I got my letter inviting me to audition today and it says "for a character performer position only". I'm a little scared because I'm not sure if face characters are included in that. I'm just getting more and more stressed as it gets closer. Anyone from CP now know if there is a difference?
