The Official Fall/Fall Advantage 2010 Thread!

[Invisible_ears_82389]

Hi everyone!

My name is Emily, and I'm a CP alum from Fall 2008. I worked attractions (Splash Mountain!) and it was every bit as incredible as you would imagine!

I graduate with my Bachelor's in Marketing Communication from Emerson College in May. I am determined to go back to Disney. I'm really hoping to be accepted into the CP again - or, better yet, be offered a professional internship.

If I do the CP again, my top choices would be: 1- Hospitality 2- Concierge 3- Vacation Planning. Attractions was fun, but I'm ready for something a little different. I also feel these roles are a bit more focused on the industry I'm looking to enter.

So excited to get to know all of you! We can suffer the excruciating waiting process together!

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.

Yay! There are not many of us out there that are not actors. I am a stage manager as well.

hello everyone!

My name is Jillian and I'm hoping to get accepted into the WDWCP Fall 2010! I'm graduating college May 2010 and the CP is something I've always wanted to do, so I'm finally doing it and couldn't be happier! I really hope to be able to make the most of my CP and progress into a Professional Internship and hopefully a career with Disney.

My choices for roles are Character Performer, Attractions, and Merchandise. I'm nervous already for the audition!

I've found so much information about Spring 2010, but this is the first time I've come across a forum for Fall 2010!! So good to meet you all!

Hi Jillian.

Do you plan on attending the Orlando audition? I'm also in Florida

hi Briana,

Yes I do! Hopefully... I don't know if I'll be able to skip classes if it's during the week. Do you have any idea when the audition will be?

I have a lot of dance training but not so much acting, and I've kind of been out of dance for a few years, so I really have no idea what my chances are. Probably not so good. But being a parade performer has been a dream of mine for a while, so I figured, what better time to see if I can cut it?

Are you nervous for the auditions?

From what I've gathered from the boards it's possible they will be around March or April.

Have you watched the video on the entertainment section of the WDWCP website?

I'm sure the dance training will definitely help. As far as acting goes, I really haven't done too much either other than a drama class in the 9th grade. My aunt has her own theatre company so I am going to try and get involved with what she has been working on now.

I am pretty nervous about auditions in general. The great thing is we have time to prepare as best we can for it.

I'll also be sure to tell you guys as much as I can about my audition experience. It probably won't differ much from the advice that's already been given on the DisBoards, but I'll do what I can!

Awesome! I just finished stage managing my theatre program's fall main stage - Moliere's The Imaginary Invalid. And now I'm working on my Senior Capstone... directing an abridged version of Arthur Miller's The Crucible. What have you done?

Sorry this is off-topic :-/

Hi, I'm Ashley and I want to do the Fall 2010 program! Right now I'm a freshman at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Attractions is my #1 choice, merchandise is my second, but honestly I'd be happy with anything.

ahh I want it to be next semester already so I can apply!!

I'm just as anxious as you are!
Attractions is my #1 choice as well but just like you said I'd be happy with anything as long as I'm working at WDW.

Ditto!

Love the pix in your signature, btw... especially the one with Goofy!

THANKS! That one is my favorite too. I asked him if he could hold his ears while I held my pigtails. He seemed to get very exited about the idea and gave me a bunch of hugs afterwards. I love Disney!

maybe i'm the only that's feeling this. but with the holidays coming, the wait doesn't feel as bad anymore. yes i'm still very anxious to apply but it doesn't feel like torture anymore.

I thought I responded to this already but I guess not. Next week I am starting work on our mainstage musical, Bright Lights Big City. I did a couple shows over the summer but haven't done anything yet this semester as we can only do one a year. Really looking forward to getting started on BLBC though.

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!!!

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!

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?
