The Official 2013 Fall/Fall Advantage Thread!!

Does anyone know if choosing a later arrival date will mean fewer apartment choices? I really want to live in Patterson, so I don't want to choose the later date if that will hurt my chances. Thanks!

I'd like to know this as well. Because my school semester doesn't end until the 24 of May (My last class would be on the 22nd) so I'd have to do a later checkout but I really want to live in Chatham.

I don't think it makes a difference, they have a set number for each day. How many at each complex available depends on the spring advantage people leaving.

I'm one of those "this is my only shot" people, and it makes me feel a tiny bit better to not be alone. I think that's why pending is so frustrating--I didn't attend my school's recent career fair because I had such high hopes for the CP.

As far as apartment choices go, it's hard to say. People are coming and going all of the time, so it really depends on what's available. I had a super small check-in day, arrived at 9 am, and was only given Vista as an option (my date was June 14 on my last CP because I did the Quarters check-in). I heard there weren't any Patterson spots offered to my group, and only a few Chatham spots. If I get accepted, I'm hoping for Chatham so I have a new experience, but I really didn't mind Vista the last time!

If anyone is interviewing today, Heads up! The system has been down for an hour now. I just got the call at my interview time that I will need to reschedule it. Then they gave me a number to call later. So don't be surprised if you get a call like that!

Honestly, it all depends on who is leaving when you arrive and what apartment complex they are in. I'm arriving Mon May 13th so If the people who are leaving Fri May 10th all live in Chatham and Vista then those are the only places that will have openings. Getting there earlier on check in day does improve your odds of getting what you want, but there is no guarantee that what you want will be available in the first place.

Does anyone know if you would be able to switch from a PI to the college program? I've got my heart set on the CP, but I also applied for a couple PIs that I don't really think I have a shot at, but who knows. I figured I'd hear about the CP first, but now that I'm pending I'm not sure about that.

I'm thinking you could but why would you want to? PIs certainly rank higher than the CP.

 

[touchthesky]

I know its weird. But I've always wanted to work in the parks, and the PIs I applied for wouldn't be in the parks.

Does anyone know of any photopass acceptances at WDW? Also if anyone is stressing a lot, I would recommend staying off of the Facebook group. I deactivated my Facebook until I get a final decision because I would constantly check the group and the frantic energy on FB made my stress so much worse.

Yes there has been a couple WDW photopass. If you want to know roles filled without the drama of the fb group you can go here ( http://disneycollegeprogramplacements.weebly.com/placements.html ) it is a website that someone on the fb page made just of a role call sheet.

I had my phone interview today and unfortunately Disney is having technical difficulties, so we have to reschedule. Hopefully I'm not the only one that this happened to. I'm not too bummed out about it, I just want to get done with the interview. Anyone else have this issue today?

I did too. Mine was for a PI though. I'm happy cause it gets me another day to study. We talked about it and it started at like 11:30 EST today. I would just hate to have been interviewing when the system crashed! That would be horrible.

Anyone else notice how few character attendant and attractions acceptances there are? I thought those were some of the biggest roles.

I totally agree with you! Do you think that has anything to do with the pending notifications that we received?

I had considered that, but I'm really trying not to think about it too much. Every time I think I have a pattern figured out, its proven wrong Probably because they aren't kidding when they say there aren't patterns.

Honestly I havent seen any attractions acceptances. Which to me helps me feel a little better, only an answer will cure the nerves though

As for character attendant, I really didnt pay any attention to them sorry

I think it might seeing how most of us who got pended on here had Attractions as our first choices.

I had it third, character attendant first, but there have been very few acceptances there, too. Who knows...

Is this link not working because of the problems Disney is facing today??

 

[touchthesky]

^ Nope, that link is not officially affiliated with Disney. Someone on the Facebook group made it.

 

[PrincessChelsea]

The link won't work for me!
