Hey everyone!! My name is Crissa and I did the CP Spring Advantage 2009 in Hospitality and I can't WAIT to apply again for fall 2010. I'm also going to be applying for a professional internship to have a plan B... and if there is an opening, i'm going to be applying for the Disney Cruise Line as well.

As far as a CP goes, my top choices are :

1. Character Attendant
2. Attractions
3. Hospitality
4. Merchandise
5. Concierge

I really really really really want to get in a park this time so I can have a wider range of Disney Experience since I already have the Hotel experience.

Where did you work and what was it like? I'm thinking of putting Hospitality as my first choice but I am curious as to what it's like...
Did you relatively regular hours? Did you have previous hotel experience?
I'm sure there are more questions, but I'll take answers to those if you're around :-D

I worked at Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa... and at Old Key West Resort.

I did have previous hotel experience working at Hyatt for 2 years. But some people I worked with had no experience, in fact, it was their first job ever...

I always worked 5 days a week and i always had 8 1/2 hour shifts. Other people were asked to extend frequently but the majority was what I had...

check out my blog I'm currently in the process of making... i think it will answer most questions people have!! I talk about almost everything. You might have to click the previous posts button a couple times to dig into the hospitality info area though

Let me know if you have any other questions!!!!

Did you work with any non-Hospitality majors?

 

[epfootballcutie04]

Did you work with any non-Hospitality majors?

I think 2 of the CP's were non-hospitality majors and I think at any given time we had roughly 15 CPs.

I'm not sure what it was like at any of the other resorts though

Nice to meet all of you! I'm planning to apply for Fall Advantage 2010, hopefully all will go well! My name is Joe by the way and I'm a freshman in college.

Hey Lauren!! I subscribed to your vlogs I loved your first one!!

I suppose I can post the link to to my vlogs/cp/other videos as well... most of the pre cp vlogs were done before leaving for my first CP SA 09... but i go over packing and stufffffffff lol

Also, something that doesn't hurt to start early is... PRE CHECK IN MEET AND GREET DINNER!!!!

I set up and organized a dinner of 65 people (which if you watch my vlogs you'll learn all about that) but it was at the rainforest cafe and it was an INCREDIBLE way to get to meet everyone the night before checkin!!

so here goes!

I have Pre CP 09 videos, videos from down on the CP and a couple non cp videos... I'll probably start making some more once applications go up!!

Thanks!!! Subscribed back!! Just checked out your vids, the one where you guys made snow is hilarious!!!!! They are really informative too, thanks!

A pre-check in dinner sounds AMAZING! That would be a really cool thing to do! I'm in!

 

[epfootballcutie04]

haha yeah making snow was really fun ah, good times!! haha

I don't mind taking on the responsibility of another dinner at all. I had a lot of fun planning it all out for my first CP. The ONLLLYYYYYYY thing is....

If we have a lot of people wanting to do it, I'm going to NEED a couple other organized people to help me out and make additional reservations. And we will all need to be in communication with each other and the restaurant too because the rainforest cafe at DTD kinda screwed it all up... but it was still REALLY fun.

but more on that later, once people start getting accepted. We'll have to move quick though for fall advantage people since they start arriving in Mayyyy!!!! I can't WAIT!

 

[c0pperboom]

I'll def help out!!! I love planning things like that! NP at all!

I wish I didn't have to work/take extra classes this summer so I could do fall advantage!

ahh... yeah i'm doing fall advantage assuming I get accepted

The regular program is just waaayyyy too short!! From what I saw and experienced through friends who did regular spring it's like you FINALLY get to REALLY know people and then you have to leave.

So it's advantage again... and then hopefully extending. haha... I looooooove the CP. A lot!

So looks like i'll be planning the dinner for my arrival date (all assuming I get accepted, lol) and looks like your arrival date is lucky, too! It's fun planning things like that!! You just have to stay organized But sounds like you're that type of person!!

May? Really? I don't get out of school until June 11ish!! Do you have any idea of, like, rough check in/check out dates? Because I'd be doing the quarter program, and I'd need to get back to school by early January... hmm. This is kinda confusing.

The check in dinner sounds awesome! I may be able to help organize that too, assuming I get accepted and am able to do the program and all. Oh, I subscribed to your YouTube channel as well! And will probably subscribe to the blog too, in a moment.

Ahh can it be time to apply now please??

Generally speaking fall advantage is mid-end of may until January 2nd-ish I believe... regular fall ends around the same time but normally starts up Mid August. That is very very generally speaking. The only real way to find out the exact dates is once you get accepted and can pick the dates!

I'm hoping my school doesn't go too far into May, haha. Normally it gets out around the 18th ish, so I might have to talk to professors and see if I can take Finals early!!

That makes me sad! I'm just doing Fall if I get accepted. I am going with my family to Hawaii in July and maybe Europe with my friends for a graduation present in June! So the regular fall season is the only option for me!
