The Official Fall/Fall Advantage 2010 Thread!

[BabyPiglet]

Hi Cinnamon! (What a cute name.) I think your 4 roles would be enough, especially since attractions, merchandise, and QFSB are the main ones and indemand. I don't think you should pick anything you wouldn't be comfortable doing, because you don't want to be stuck in Florida for 4-7 months being miserable.

If I come to do the CP for Fall of 2010, chances are I will be doing it alone. None of my friends will be able to. I know its very friendly and whatnot, but are there very many people in the same situation? Or do most people come down with a friend?

saame here, i think its okay though because we are going to meet soo many new people! and there are so many ways to meet people before the program even starts so you will definitely go into it with new friends

I have two friends who might be coming down with me, but honestly I would NOT mind doing it alone!! I think everyone seems really friendly and most people don't really know anyone! I think there are mannyyy people in the same situation!

I'd be doing it alone also.. unless my brother decided to do it which is doubtful. But I think with so many people doing the program, not everyone's going to know someone there. I think a point of the program is to meet new people from all over the world. I'm excited to not know anyone.

I doubt any of my friends will go with me, so I'll be going 'alone'. There's so many chances to meet people before you go though, especially on facebook and here on the DIS. Have you joined the FB group? They're all super friendly over there!

Don't worry, there will be lots and lots of other people going solo, I'm sure.

I'll be a "loner" as well... I feel like it's not going to be a big deal at all!

Ok, glad to know I'm not the only one in that situation. I figued there would be a lot of people. I don't worry too much, as I have heard the DCP is one of the friendliest and most social gatherings in the world.

 

[AliSW]

Yeah I'll be by myself too, a little worried about that because my first year of college sucked in the dorms. I had a horrible roommate and didn't have any friends in my building. I've decided I'm bound to make at least one friend there so I'll be fine haha.
And true, saying my first job was at Disney world would be pretty awesome!

Question. When is the regestration for Fall/Fall Advantage 2010? I'm starting to get antsy and I'm getting serious about possibly trying for the 3rd time for Disney CP.

 

[MaryPoppins86]

i too will be doing this program alone. i've talked to two of my friends about the program and i know neither of them are interested. they're supportive about me wanting to do the program but at the same time they don't want me to leave. one of my friends' actually said to me that she'll lock me up in her closet just so i don't leave her. i may have to watch out for myself the day i leave for fl.

Question. When is the regestration for Fall/Fall Advantage 2010? I'm starting to get antsy and I'm getting serious about possibly trying for the 3rd time for Disney CP.

To those who have done the DCP before, is fall a good time to do it? I think it would be fun doing it during the holidays. But I'm sure it is very crowded.

I've never done it over the fall before, but even doing it over the spring gets really crowded because of spring break and Easter and 4th of July and all that.

I can't WAIT to be there for Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years... and Halloween!!

And for everybody worried about going "alone". Don't be Everyone that I knew of doing Spring 09 was going "alone". You will not be the only one. If you are worried about making friends, I highly suggest living in a 3 or 4 bedroom apartment if you can, because you will have a higher chance of at least becoming friends with your roommates.

Also, before I left for Spring 09, i became REALLY active in the facebook group. I planned a monstrous dinner and because of that alone, became somewhat "popular" just because I was the go-to person for all dinner questions.

Eventually, I started to talking to people from my arrival date for HOURS everyday... seriously. And without having met them it was as if I knew almost everything about them so when we actually got down there it was like we had already been friends for years!

Facebook is probably the BEST place to 'meet' the CPs. This is a great spot, too... but there are many more people in the facebook groups!

 

[ltwentyone]

Thanks for the great reply. I will definitely check out the facebook groups.

One more question. I know applications go up around the end of January. Will my chances be greater of getting accepted if I apply early? I assume they will, but I don't know how it works. I still am not positive if I will even be able to do the CP. So I want to wait to apply until I know for sure. But I'm afriad if I wait too long, my chances of being accepted will go down.

Generally speaking, the earlier you apply and the more roles you check off, the greater your chances are for getting accepted since they will have the greater number of roles available to offer. (This is all assuming of course that you meet the other requirements.)

The later you apply, the less number of roles they will have to offer since they will already have given some away.

Now... if you are applying for things like Quick Service food & beverage, custodial, Main Entrance Operations, Attractions, or Merchandise (these are the rolls i've heard that need the most CPs)... you will still have a fairly good shot of getting in even if you apply later on during the application process.

Good luck!!!

So I know everyone's probably getting busy with the end of the semester, and the holidays approaching. But who else cant stop thinking about Disney CP Fall?
