The Official Fall/Fall Advantage 2010 Thread!

[Disney_Lover06]

Chicago Audition Experience:

They switched it up at this audition, I think because there were 156 people there - eek! So we did the dance first - two counts of eight, a relatively simple routine but I just flubbed it completely. After that they made cuts - I was cut the first round.

I'm assuming after this they did animation, but since I was cut I have no idea. And despite the disappointment, I enjoyed myself while there.

It was especially disappointing because I knew dance was my weakest spot but I hoped to redeem myself with animation. Oh well... not meant to be for Spring. The Fall auditions had better look out though!

I'm sorry!!! But at least you know what to expect for Fall!!

 

[MaryPoppins86]

I feel that way too. I think time's flying by. Next thing you know we'll be applying.

That just made me really excited to think soon we'll be applying!!!

yup. and i know with the all that time i will be spending trying to find and buy gifts for people for the holidays and trying to figure out my school stuff for the spring semester, this will help a lot in keeping my mind off the wait for applications. and at the begining of january i have to figure out routes to school and where all my classes will be and finding the cheapest books to buy. so by the time disney fully comes back on my mind, it'll probably (hopefully) be less than a week away untill the apps come up.

so how is everyone getting ready for their potential cp (besides just having a chat with your advisor about credits)?

I haven't been thinking about this for a few months. Actually, I wasn't sure if I was going to apply or not. I think I've decided to though. School has been so stressed lately, I think it would be good to take some time off.

I can't believe applications will be out in just a couple months!

 

[QueenofPrideRock]

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that! Getting cut is no fun, but it's part of a performer's life!

But at least you'll have the extra experience for the Fall auditions! Does that mean your going to decline for Spring 2010?

Between my parents, my advisor, and my school's Center for Career Development, yes. They ALL strongly advised for me to stay on campus for the entire duration of my freshman year. My parents are willing to support me 100% for fall, so now it's time to start figuring out my contacts at school as far as that goes... my advisor knew nothing about the program itself, so I need to find other resources.

I will also be dancing a LOT for the next two months. I wish there were a way for me to take a class for just the month of December... hmm...

This Monday I have my advisor appointment to talk about the DCP and transfering options, then Wednesday I'm going on a tour of Johnson and Wales. So hopefully I'll still be able to do it next fall through my current school and then actually transfer for their spring semester. Trimesters make everything difficult.

that stinks! Hopefully this time it will work out!

I'm conflicted about whether to do Fall or Fall Advantage as well. I should really work and take classes in the summer to save up to leave, but I wanna be there

Blehhhhh. What a decision.

Yeah it sure is a hard one. I hope things turn out for you in the end

I'm trying to figure out what classes to take in the spring. I'm already planning on volunteering abroad for a semester, so I need to figure out what to take so I still graduate on time.

Welcome fellow Utahan! The acceptance rate differs between Disneyland and Walt Disney World College Programs. Generally it is higher at Walt Disney World because the fact of the matter is that there are just more positions available there. However, there are more applicants for WDW, but I still think it doesn't even out.

I'm not sure about an exact percentage though...

hellooo i'm Cinnamon, i'm a sophomore and i go to Florida A&M. graphic design majorr. i just found out about the college program about 2 weeks ago and it' been the only thing on my mind ever since! loll i cant wait to apply! i am extra nervous about the whole phone interview thing though. i really reallyy hope i get in. i'm going to apply for merchandise, attractions, quick service and costuming. yayyy

 

[AliSW]

I think I'm going to apply for this for next fall! I'll be a junior. I've never even had a real job before so I'm nervous about working so much haha, and I don't know if I'll be able to credit there or not. What months does the fall program start?

 

[BabyPiglet]

Fall starts in August, Fall Advantage starts in May (and there maybe some dates in June). They both end in early January.

Hello to both!
Cinnamon, I'm planning to apply for merchandise and attractions as well. I might apply for quick service but I'm still not completely sure . And I know how you feel about it being the only thing on your mind.

AliSW I've never had a real job either but what could be better than saying that your first job was at Disney World?!? I'm so exited!!!

yeah i have definitely been in disney mode nonstop ahaha yeah i picked quick service because i felt like i didnt have enough. but i wouldnt mind doing it though. do you think 4 roles is enough? i cant really see myself doing anything else lol so i hope it is.

Well, I think picking more roles will never hurt but if you think you would dislike doing anything else stick to those 4 roles. It wouldn't be much fun being accepted in a role you don't wanna do.

You should be fine! Especially with quick service, attractions and merchandise on your list. I know when I interviewed and when a couple of my friends interviewed for Spring 09 they were asking us if we would like to add quick service to our role check list. I'm assuming it was because they have the hardest time filling that role, but I could be wrong.

They also seem to need a lot of attractions CPs and merchandise seems like a popular role, too.

As long as you meet all the CP requirements and do well on your interview, you should be fine with the roles you've selected
