The College Program Questions thread

[MissSpooky]

People sometimes let their friends skip the lines. Keep in mind that this is against company policy. I had a guy come through with a stack of re-entry passes he got from his friend. I had him turn them over to me.

I used my advisor as the faculty contact.

Thanks I ended up listing the closest thing I have to what I heard the most. My counciler so I could get my date locked in. I would never let anyone past the guests cause I don't think it's fair. I think I saw on another board someone else talking about it.

 

[Darth Sidious]

that's correct. Keep in mind, if you called in that day and use your ID in any way (admission, fastpasses, discounts), they'll know and you can be reprimanded or terminated.

so basically what your saying is not to use my ID to get in on a "day im sick" or something? i don't think ill do that anyway. but just incase i do ill always have my annual pass handy

 

[sandicinderelli]

also a question about food. for our breaks during the day, is there free food from the cafe? or do we have to buy it? is there even a cafe?

Does anybody know the answer to this question? Thanks.

 

[Joanna71985]

There are cafes at each park. You have to buy food from them. The thing is, some are pretty far away from breakrooms or main areas, so it might be better to bring lunch.

^don't forget cheaper. Better to bring your own food.

Hi. Im really interested in doing the Disney College program my Junior or Senior year in college. I read about the housing and was discouraged. My boyfriend and I have been planning to get married my sophmore or junior year of college. Does this mean I cannot live with him or is there special married housing ??

I'm pretty sure that they don't have that type of housing....Also keep in mind that it's a strict rule to have visitors overnight in your apartment.

even if its in the same complex? like people in vista can't have other people from vista? or chatham people can't have other chatham people?

So another random question from me... If one does a fall cp when is the departure date? Is it in the beginning of jan? I was just wondering if I extend how when the fall dates seem to be.

.. thats sad. I was really interested in the program, but if they segregate people due to marriage then I guess I won't be able to participate in it.

I know it would be tough, but you could always go off-site. You don't have to stay in their designated apartments. I believe that is possible. Don't let it discourage you from the program!

Thanks! I should do more research on it because I wasn't even sure you could stay offsite. I really appreciate it though and I'll definitely look into it more. I really want to do the program and my boyfriend wants to try to get a job in security down there if I do. So, we'll see! Hopefully it works out!

Yup, beginning of Jan. Mine is January 5th.

as long as you and your overnight visitor are from the same complex, they won't kick you out.

The problem is when you check in people not from your complex. They keep a list and will find out where they went if they don't see them leave. They don't do bed checks.

I know that I don't mind it! If it means it cuts down on huge blow outs and people that aren't supposed to be around. It is a bummer though if have friends that are in a diff complex. I suppose though there isn't going to be much down time...

I already asked this question on "The Official Spring 2007 CP" thread, but I'm hoping to get some help on this one too.

How exactly do you go about requesting time off? Has anyone asked for time off on their CP before? I'm doing the Spring 2007 CP, but have a religious conference that I previously committed to. I need to be able to go for at least one day of the conference in February.

I'd figure I'll ask for Feb. 9th off, because then I would have been on the CP for 30 solid days by then. I think they really can't say no since it is for religious purposes.

Thanks.

Hi all, I've been lurking on this board for a couple of weeks now. I'm in total shock , I just got an acceptance packet for Spring '07, and I was sure I completely bombed the interview Any way I have a few questions before I hear back from my faculty contact and officially accept.

1.) I know you can't leave at all but do they make exceptions for family emergencies, like allowing you to leave for a few days and then come back? I'm not expecting anything to happen, but I do have some elderly grandparents.

2.) This might be kind of a dumb question, but: How do you cash your paychecks? Can you do direct deposit?

3.) I was accepted for Housekeeping. My # 1 choice. But since applying I've seen a few people on this board say that housekeeping( hey wait isn't it supposerd to be "Mousekeeping" ?) is bad. What makes it bad, and/or is it only bad if cleaning isn't your thing?

Thanks
Julianna (or Jules)

I was originally accepted into housekeeping, but called and got switched into merchandise after talking to someone who had done it the year before. I'm sure if you like cleaning it won't be so bad, but she had problems with all the constant bending over to clean toilets and make beds and such, and I guess all the chemicals were really bad, and hurt her eyes and dried out her skin. You have to do a lot of rooms, and I wasn't looking forward to having to clean the gross messes some people leave behind, and the chemicals tend to give me headaches.

I have another question for people who have already gone about drinking. I'm under 21 and in no way would I risk doing anything that would get me thrown out. But what if my roommates sneak in alcohol? Would I get in trouble just for being there even if I didn't drink? Because I don't want to be a jerk and report them and make them hate me, but I also don't want to be seriously penalized for their mistakes.

Yes, you can get in big trouble. Disney and the CP does not mess around with underage drinking. So if you have a roomate who is sneaking alcohol, I would ask them to get rid of it.
