And can CPs find their own apartments or do they have to live in either Chatham or Vista? If not I guess he could come stay over a few nights a week or something... oh and maybe I can find a 'dog friendly' apartment! Just thinking out loud here.

Yes, CPs can stay elsewhere.

But don't CPs have to get some sort of permission to live in housing other than the Disney housing.

I believe so. I know people who have done it, but I have always stayed in Chatham for my CPs.

Hi Everyone!! I asked this question on the Spring '08 CP but I was just kinda getting an idea from everyone else (those who have already done the presentations) which is better to do the E-Presentation or the Live Presentation. The issue that I have is that the one in Pittsburgh that I want to go to is a Wed afternoon and I'm student teaching in the fall so I would have to leave school early and I'm not really sure how that all works but is there an advantage of going to the Live one? My roommate did the live one and gave them a resume and asked questions

so how did you apply...E or Live???

 

[Joanna71985]

I posted on the other thread. But I did the live presentation my first CP, and did the E-Presentation my 2nd CP (had to so I could audition). I didn't really find any disadvantages. However, I would say live presentation if you could because the live presentation has a live recruiter and alumni there to talk to. Other then that I found them pretty much equal.

I am arriving for my CP on Sept. 5th & i'm planning on having my mom visit me around Thanksgiving. Would it be better work schedule-wise if she came during the beginning or the end of the Thanksgiving week or about the same? i.e. when is it busiest @ the parks during Thanksgiving?

I would say it is less busy after Thanksgiving is over. That is a busy time period.

Does anybody know how transfering to another apartment works? Like, say I wanted to leave my current apartment and switch to a new one, how would I go about doing it? I know paying $50 is involved. About how long does it take?

You go to the clubhouse. It depends on how long it takes for them to find one.

Oh No!!! First road block in this whole CP thing!! I went online to print out another copy of my application to change to date b/c I had the date of 10/31 but now I want to do the E and when i went to print it out, my info for Hobby Language and Skills is not listed and it was on the print-out on 8/22!!!!! WHAT DO I DO!!!???? I can turn in the one I have printed and white-out the date but I do not know if it was sent to WDW w/the info not there

any advice?!

All you need to do is act like you are going to fill out the application again. However, when you put in your email & city twice and go to the next page all your information will already be filled out from what you already did.

Then it will allow you to change most of the information. A few things like your social security number and presentation date can't be changed this way though.


All of my additional qualifications were missing as well, so people might want to check and see if their application has been messed up.

Thank you!! I fixed it. When it asked you if you have submitted an application, I clicked on the No because I havent, I was just fixing it, is that right or should I have said Yes since I fixed things and submitted it? Oh well, its fixed thats the most important thing!

Hello~

So I had my interview today and I am really nervous about the role I will be assigned. Listed in my prior jobs was a lot of experience in lifeguarding...and I did not check it in my role checklist...and my interviewer spent time trying to convince me that it would be perfect for me. If I am assigned to be a lifeguard, how easy is it to change jobs once I am down in Disney? I really want to learn something new...and do NOT want to lifeguard but feel as though I did not express this during interview. Any comments or suggestions?

 

[vamoose27]

If you get assigned a role as a lifeguard i'd suggest calling and trying to get it changed before you accept the offer. I'd think you'd probably have a good chance of getting it changed since you didn't mark it on your role checklist.

i watched the E PRESENTATION FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was nice being able to watch the video w/o the loading/buffering screen every 5 seconds!! I think it just made me even more excited about whats coming up!! It said on the final screen I have to call mon-fri 8-6 so I guess I'll have to wait until Monday and hopefully get my interview for later in the week. I'm so excited, I can't wait to get down there and meet everyone!! Have a good day everyone, I'm off to take my 2nd praxis test, then i'm done!! (unless i fail ah!)

My daughter just arrived at the college program. There are some black out dates (from Christmas to New years). Does this mean she won't be able to go to the parks those days at all if she isn't working?
