The Official Fall/Fall Advantage 2010 Thread!

[PennyLou]

CPers don't find out their positions until their first day, and Photopass can move between all 4 parks - that's why it's a really cool role.

they move even more so now as they are now part of entertainment.. they used to be there own area but now Photopass, characters and attendants are all one group

Congratulations to everyone accepted this week! I'm so excited to get there and meet you all! August feels way too far away right now.

OK, so the interview went really well and I was invited to the audition---YAY!
BUT I did make one mistake which I'm fretting about now, one of the questions asked was do I work better independently or with teamwork (now it seems blatantly obvious what I would want to answer), but because I'm fine with either I answered that I'm pretty independent and like to set goals for myself and reach them and even when working in a team setting I make sure I pull my own weight (GRRR dumbest answer ever!!!). I was thinking about school projects (due to midterms coming up) NOT WORKING IN THE PARK!!! AHHH! I would prefer working with a team 10Xs more than independently while at DISNEY!!!! So now I'm afraid that they'll disregard my second choice of attractions due to this answer. BUT best advice ever in regards to the interview: Make sure you answer in regards to working in the area you want, not in school or personal settings. They can DEFINITELY be different, as I found out. The waiting game begins for me now. Congrats to everyone who has already been accepted! I hope to join you soon.

You do work a lot independently in Attractions - you're usually positioned by yourself at different areas... I think that was a good answer. I mean, yeah, you're a team, but you work independent of each other.


Maybe I'm missing something though.. haha.

I don't think that ansower is awfule, they want to make sure you are not like "I hate people and I can't work with them" lol.. But you said you can work in a group but wont slack with your part which is great! I wouldnt stress out to much about it! Break a leg at the audition! I can't wait for mine it feels ssooooooo far away and like I've already been waiting forever lol

Thanks so much! You both made me feel better!
I guess I was just overanalyzing it.
I was so vamped up that I thought maybe independent was code for working alone not in a park completely away from everyone, but now I realize that's just silly.

Thank you! Break a leg to you as well.
I know it seems like it'll take forever...I can only imagine how long the wait has been for you!

Hi everyone. I'm new here, just been looking around the net for information on the CP. I went to an information session at my school (Florida Atlantic University) on the 16th and had my phone interview on the 22nd. They said 3-4 weeks to hear something but it looks like a lot of people are hearing far quicker than that.

I'm hoping that I'll get to meet a lot of you this fall!
