The Official Spring 2010 PI Thread

[Ayame]

I sit at my computer for long periods of time, doing homework, looking up research info for classes, facebook, etc. I sit there with my phone next to me and my hotmail messenger set to alert me immediately to all emails.

So in other words, I get to be a nervous wreck for hours! Everytime the phone rings, everytime I am alerted to an email I am sure I've got the PI or I've been rejected. I need to get away I think

I know what you mean!! My phone vibrates every time I get a new email... So either way, call or email my phone is constantly tricking me. Every time my mom calls me I get mad at her, hah. Yesterday she called me three times, so by the last time I was sure it had to be Disney. Oh well! I've thought about just not carrying my phone around with me anymore, because I'm getting pretty discouraged.

 

[Ayame]

Yeah I know, my sister called and she talked for like an hour... I couldn't concentrate on what she was saying and finally she said "are you listening to me??".

She better be careful, if I get this internship I won't let her use my disney discount to get into the park

FYI - On a Facebook page I just read that - supposedly - all alumni internship applicants should get the answer by this Saturday... "I was told everyone should find out by November 6th but my thinking about Saturday is that in the Disney work week ends on a saturday and starts on a sunday so you might hear something on Saturday. I'm positive that your decision will not take until November 28th but they're saying that incase anyone turns something down."

Now I have NO idea whether said information is completely accurate....but follow the link and decide for yourself!

Yeah, I just don't know. I would like to believe it, because then at least we all would know one way or another by the end of the weekend. But, look at all the different internships that we all applied for under the cp-alumni application and how many of those have we heard about? I find it hard to believe that with the number of us that have applied just on DIS boards, that we are all going to hear in a 2 day period. Last term it seemed like it took about a month and a half of offers coming out. The department I spoke with, which was an alumni department, said that the decisions have to be made by tomorrow, but that we may not hear from casting until the end of the month. So who knows

im going to go ahead and think that I didnt get it one of my friends got a call to schedule an interview tomorrow for a cp alumni role....

i applied for cp alumni roles, actually those being my top two roles, and havent gotten a call

What was the role she got an interview for?

 

[JessRawls]

What was the role she got an interview for?

youth events

 

[vamoose27]

I wouldn't give up unless you applied for youth events also, and then i'd only give up hope for that particular role!

yeah, i just feel like all the people who have been accepted have gotten second interviews...and the fact people are hearing so soon before they tell us. It just scares me.

but today is really close to tomorrow... so maybe you'll get a call tomorrow! And next week is really close to this week... so at least wait until the end of next week to give up

I still haven't even been contacted for an interview. Does this mean I'm out of the running entirely? Or is the Nov 6th date only for CP alum PIs?

The only way you are out of the running entirely is if you recieve a rejection email. Otherwise, if you were to call casting they would say you are still being considered. That's what I did last semester as I was in the same boat as you. I didn't end up getting the PI, but there were others in the same postion as me who hadn't heard a thing either and out of the blue they got an interview and offer within the same week. So don't give up your hopes!

I got an offer yesterday from Florida Tourist Sales. woohoo!

 

[fswm]

so im under the impression that some people HAVE received rejections? and some HAVE be accepted? can any one clarify this?

id assume if we havent heard anything this is a good thing? no news is better than bad news!

 

[CM-James]

They have been making offers and sending rejections so if you haven't heard yet I'd say thats a good thing cause they are still thinking.

Congratulations. What will you be doing? I was considering going into tourism if I can't go full time at Disney after the CP/PI.

Congrats!! I bet getting the call was an amazing feeling!

The work of the Florida Tourist Sales Office is fairly visible through much of Central Florida, and to a certain extent in other parts of this state, but not in a manner that is associated with the Walt Disney World Resort.

They handle relations and sales between the Walt Disney World Resort and the various Third-Party Agencies and Attraction Ticket Sellers located outside Disney Property.

Basically, most places where you see this sign:

work in some way or form with Florida Tourist Sales.

 

[secondstarlight]

I've been checking on some of the PI facebook sites and it seems that alot of people are getting offers! Can anyone tell me if DVC Sales Assistant, Youth Education Facilitator, FL Tourist Sales, etc are all alumni-only internships?

These are the ones that people seem to be hearing from today...
