dms25, im going to be a conservation education presenter next semester! how do you like it, can you tell me a little bit more about what you actually get to do.

also just to keep everyone updated I got a packet of information in the mail today, it was mostly the same information thats online about the disney look, the disney difference and housing... one new bit of information that it had was that anyone under 21 at the beginning of their program will be put in wellness housing.... is anyone else out there under 21 and planning to live in patterson?

I applied for YES as well!! Since you're down there, did you audition in person? I think that would be extremely nerve-wracking. And I would be afraid of going over time. As it was, I had to re-tape my audition a few times because I kept going way over the 5 minute mark even though I didn't think I had enough info to fill 3 minutes

Still waiting to hear from them, though, even though they said they were making their decisions on the 28th. Casting is killing me with this waiting

I am SO happy for you It makes me extremely happy that one of us heard something today and gives me hope as you were one of us just a few short hours ago talking about The Wait.

Congratulations

I didn't audition in person because the days/times they had available, I had to work. I emailed a video in to them for my audition. I agree that the live audition would be very intimidating!

I applied for YES last fall too during the time when internships were being cut. Let's keep our fingers crossed this time!

I have been MIA the past few weeks, but reading through this tonight it is nice to see people getting offers! Yay for guest relations people. I think that role would be awesome!

I am still waiting for some finance PIs, since I got rejected for my top choice of retail management.

Fingers crossed that offers keep rolling in this week!

The waiting game is killer! I lived through it last year and ended up getting my dream role in Youth Events. If you are interviewing for it you can PM me and I will fill you in on stuff. I wish I could have that job full time! It has been fun to sit back and read the thread this year as to how it is all going. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting to hear back!

 

[DsnyGrl05]

Well I'm guessing that they would call all the accepted GR in the same day, so I am giving up on that one

But its ok...I applied for 1 other role, and who knows...maybe I got that one! If not, it will all work out. Good luck to everyone still waiting!!

Dont give up hope!! My friend got a call at 1:30 and I didnt get mine until 8pm!! Thats another thing, I was all bummed b.c I thought Casting closed at 5, so when that time roled around I was like o well...but they apparently call at allll hours!! My fingers are crossed for you!! Hopefully we will be working together!

 

[spectroaddy]

I'm so glad offers are finally going out. And congrats to everyone who has received offers, I know you are happy the wait is over. I applied for cast deployment, college recruiting and college and Internation coordinator at MK, and am still waiting, at this point I hear everyone is getting call by now, I probably won't get one. I losing hope everyday.

Hi I've started my housing search and have been recommended by a friend who previously did a PI with Disney to to a great place. Its a 3 bedroom (1 master, two others). The two others have two twins in them which is why I say at least 2, when my friend lived there his roommates just pushed the twins together to make a king, but if you and a roommate decide you want to share the room it'd be cheaper for you and the place can support up to 5 people. At $1450 a month this is cheaper (even if we only have 3) than disney sponsored housing. Please contact me if interested I need to put the deposit down.

I just got rejected for the catering MI. I have mixed feelings about this. I have to admit, it will be nice to have 5 months doing a physically hard job but not too mentally difficult in the CP after four years of college. And by doing the CP, more PI's open up for me. But I have to leave my dog at home and that sucks.

Oh well, good luck to those who have not heard yet!

I'm sorry, I feel your pain on being rejected. I have a feeling I know why I was rejected, but my mom's friend gave me some insight. She told me the other day when I was stressing about jobs that that there is probably something better coming your way, and now when it comes you'll be ready for it!
Doing the CP you will have the chance to apply to more PIs, good luck with your CP!!

As for everyone else, congrats on hearing back and for those waiting, don't give up!

I'm sorry to hear that sneekypeeks! At least you still have the CP job, and like you said - you can apply for PIs after your CP ends.

I'm still waiting to hear back from mine...hopefully soon!

Good luck to everyone who is still in the same boat!!

Thank you for the kind words. That is my feeling as well. I know I should be bummed about this, but I am not. I am just excited to be doing the college program!! Less stress involved with the CP regarding housing and such, and since I am moving to Orlando, it will give me time to find the perfect job and an apartment I like and can afford.
