The Official Fall/Fall Advantage 2010 Thread!

[Disney_Lover06]

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.

I know this year had a check in date for June 15th if you are on the quarter program!

 

[epfootballcutie04]

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!

awwww, don't be sad! I didn't mean to make anyone sad

The regular length programs are still an incredible opportunity and you still learn so very much and still make beautiful long-lasting friendships with people from all over the world!!! Just please take advantage of every opportunity and live every second to the fullest because even with the advantage program, it's over before you know it!

And psh! You get to go to Hawaii and maybe EUROPE?!? ... do you know how lucky you are? Hawaii is absolutely gorgeous and I've wanted to go to Europe since I could say it haha.... and then you might get to do the CP afterwards just in time for food and wine festival at Epcot, the Halloween parties, and then thanksgiving, christmas and new years... you, my friend, are one incredibly lucky individual

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.

That sounds like so much fun and I'd totally be up for it if I get in and am able to go! Are you talking about a dinner for the regular Fall session or for Fall Advantage?

I guess I can't complain too much!

I think that is a great idea! I'll help set up one dinner for Fall session!

I'm applying for advantage, but if the only way I can get in is by doing regular fall, then that's how it's going to have to be. haha.

Another option I was thinking of, would be to have it at something like Pop Century or All Star Resorts in their big food court type of area. It's cheaper... (a LOT cheaper)... it's got a wider variety of food... and they have a lot more areas just to sit and talk during/after/before and whatnot.

While going to an actual restaurant was a lot of fun, you do have to worry about people who don't pay/don't show up/what if someone doesn't like that food, etc.

Just a thought

Ok, bumping this thread because, well, I just found it.

My name is Ashley and I've pretty much decided that I will applying for Fall '10. Whether or not I get it, and whether or not I can go are a different story. I will be graduating (college) Spring 2010 so this is my only chance to apply for the CP. I'm originally from GA but I live in NYC right now for school (and hopefully forever, ha!) I'm a theatre management major.

It is less important for me to be at Disney and more important for me to be doing the role I really want to be doing (I know, HORRORS), so I won't be applying for many roles. I actually haven't even looked through all the roles too thoroughly yet.

My top (and kind of only) choice at the moment is Costuming. I'll have to look through and decide if there are others I would be willing to put my career on hold for.

Ok, that was a quick intro as I am on my way to class. Nice to meet you all and hope to be talking to you soon!

 

[kmg148]

I'll be graduating in the spring and applying for a PI, but I think I'm going to apply for the CP as well!

I did the CP in FSFB during spring of this year!

 

[c0pperboom]

Where in NYC, what school? That's where I'm from, and live, and go to school in haha. I'm also applying for the Fall 2010 CP!

 

[DisneyGirl421]

Ashley - YAY theatre majors! I'm graduating in May too, and Costuming is my first choice as well. I will do the CP no matter what I get, I just REALLY want costuming because I want a career with Disney Theatricals eventually (stage managing probably) and this will look great on my resume.

I've decided that I am going to apply for Fall 2010.

Do you think it's too early to start a blog?

Any idea when applications and audition dates will be available?

I truly love Disney and so excited for the opportunity to be a part of it

a) I love your screenname... Babyshambles?

b) Nope! I've got like 15 entries in mine (abbydoesdisney.blogspot.com), including 4 official vlogs. Go for it! I also recommend joining the Fall 2010 Facebook group, which is here.

c) Sometime around Jan 20th the application will go up. Audition dates will be POSTED shortly after that, and auditions will probably be scheduled for like... late March, maybe? Not as sure on that one. But applications will be up roughly around the 20th!

Nope, it is definitely not too early to start a blog! I already did, haha. Besides helping you get excited, a blog is a good place to collect information about the College Program.

I'm not sure about audition dates, but applications should open sometime in January. Hopefully closer to Jan 1 that later--the anticipation is already killing me!

 

[La Belle et la Bête]

Thanks.

I've started one -- going to work on my first entry and play with the html. It's official now

January will be here before we know it. Especially with the holidays coming up. SO exciting!

Super cute blog. Before I even read, my first thought was you should be friends with Ariel. What date are you auditioning? What other roles are you interested in?

I'm excited to read your blog! Definitely post a link when you get a chance!

And thank you sooo much! I'm auditioning November 6 in Chicago. My top three were Character Performer, Attractions, and Concierge, but I was just accepted into FSFB. I'm super excited and a little surprised that they picked me for it, since we didn't talk about it in my interview or anything and I don't have a super huge amount of experience in food service... I worked in a coffee shop!

i think this such an awesome idea! i'd love to help you organize this in anyway. so if we're both accepted and have the same arrive date let me know how i can help. i agree with you about having dinner at one of those resorts. plus not everyone will want to eat. some might want to do a little shopping or simply go swimming. i know the pools at Pop Century closes at midnight.

 

[MaryPoppins86]

i look at my mickeypath siggy and go "omg 88 days. that's such a long time from now" then i go "omg 88 days, that's not too far away". i never realized just how much waiting to apply can be so much torture i remember when i first put up the countdown name tag, it read 320 days.

Congratulations!!!!

That's great! I have a slight obsession with the Grand Floridian and would LOVE working at any of their restaurants (really any job at the GF). All of the park & hotel restaurants are amazing and I'm sure would be super fun.

Now you're next step is auditioning -- how exciting!! I'm sure you'll do great

Sounds good!!! If I get accepted I'm going to try my hardest to get the first arrival date possible. I want to do everything in my power to make sure I can celebrate another birthday in disney and my birthday is June 1st so it's like right in the middle of the arrival dates

I will definitely let you know though

I love your blog layout! Yeah, I'd be happy with almost any restaurant... California Grill would be AWESOME, 50's Prime Time Cafe, Cinderella's Royal Table... I'm a fan of the GF as well. And the Poly. Ooh, or Boma. So yeah, not much I'm not a fan of, haha.

 

[Lyanne and Stitch]

Hi everybody!
My name's Lyanne. I'm 18 years old, a freshman in college and I'm from Puerto Rico.
I'm a 2010 Fall Advantage hopeful and this is my first post in the forums, although I've been lurking around for a while.
My top role choices are:
-Attractions
-Photopass photographer
-Character Attendant
and Merchandise
but when it comes down to it, I think I would do any role just to work at WDW.

Before finding this thread I thought I was the only person looking forward to the program so early but I see I was waaay wrong. hehe
Anyways, I'm looking forward to getting to know you and HEY, hopefully we'll all get accepted when the time comes.
