The Official Fall/Fall Advantage 2010 Thread!

I was wondering if anyone had advice on housing. I want the most inexpensive housing. Is that Vista, with a million roomates? Ive read that an appartment can have up to 8 roomates. About how much a month will that cost? I have a roomate now and we never see eachother so there is no conflict. Is this true with the Disney appartments?

The cheapest apartment option is a Vista 2/3-bedroom apartment. Then it's Chatham 3/4 bedroom, Patterson 3 (and 4?) bedroom, Chatham 1/2 bedroom, and Patterson 2 (and 1?) bedroom.

Wait, so 2 and 3 bedrooms at Vista cost the same? and 3 and 4 at Chatham cost the same? So picking a 4 bedroom over at 3 bedroom at Chatham doesn't give you a lower rent? Just making sure I'm understanding correctly.

Hi there! My name's Deborah, and I've been lurking these boards for a few days now, looking up everything I can on the CP. I figured it was about time I poked my head up and said "hi!"

I'm currently a Senior in college majoring in Graphic Design and will (hopefully) graduate in May, so this is my only shot at doing to CP. I almost applied for my Junior year, but decided to do a semester long study abroad instead. At the time, I thought I was giving up on doing the CP at all, but my roommate told me we could apply for the semester after we graduate, and I got super excited! Yay for second chances!

My top three roles I want to apply for are Attractions, Merchandise, and PhotoPass, but I'll take anything that will get me into the program. I'm also going to try my best to get a PI as well, and if that doesn't work out, I'll probably extend the program for as long as possible.

All that said, I think it would be cool to get to know some more Fall '10 CP hopefuls. And best of luck to all of us!

Hey, I'm from AR as well. What school do you go to?

I can imagine with 8 roommates you would run into them some times. But the good thing is you can hang out in the FB group, chat with people, and find someone you would really like as a roommate.

I really really hope the app goes up tomorrow.

lol, this feels like applying for college all over again. and waiting to hear back will only reinforce that. not a very fun/stress-free time for me..

Soooooo. It's the 20th. And the application isn't up. What the heck.

Is there a specific time that it would go up if is today?

could be as late as this evening. or February. Keep in mind we kind of randomly decided they'd be out today because historically they've gone up after MLK weekend. So while there's still hope, there's also a chance we'll have to wait a couple days or a week.

When the applications come out do they send out the email that day. Cuz I'm on vacation in a small city in Texas. But I get email and this messageboard on my phone but not disney. But I brought my laptop to go somewhere. So can someone post here when the application. Go out plz and thanku.

Kristin posted on the FB group that it may be February 8th until 'they start recruiting'.

No fair! They've went up on January 20th for the past two years.

Anyone seasonal out there? I never thought about what would happen with my status as of right now. I'll be okay right? I had shifts scheduled..

 

[FutrImagineer]

You all will never guess what happened to me!

I just finished viewing the E-Presentation, but at the end, when I was supposed to be given a completion code, the space for the number was blank! Argh

Guess I will just have to watch it again. Hope nobody else runs into my same problem.

 

[Joanna71985]

Good luck everyone!

Take a deep breath and relax first.

Answer truthfully, but remember, this is for a job. So answer your questions as if you are in a work environment. What makes a good employee?

I remember reading on here to put mostly "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree" So that is what I did and it seemed to work! I had one neutral and a few agrees and disagrees, but I mostly went for the extremes.

I thought most of the questions were no brainers, honestly: I am friendly, I work well with others, I enjoy helping others, I work hard, I like meeting new people, etc.

They will ask you the same question, but worded differently. "I like to work in groups" and then later, "I like to work alone." So if you put strongly agree to working with others, don't contradict yourself by saying you like to work alone.

But mostly, just relax and you will do fine. Good luck!
