The Official Spring/Spring Advantage 2010 Thread!

[MaryPoppins86]

What do you plan on applying for?
This is what I'm going to put down:

Attractions
Bell Services/Dispatch
Concierge
Character Attendant
Full Service Food and Beverage
Hospitality
Main Entrance Operations
Merchandise
Recreation
Vacation Planner

I'm really hoping for Recreation though. It sounds like a lot of fun!!

in random order i'll be applying for these roles:

character performer
character attendant
fsfb
qsfb (backstage)
qsfb (onstage)
merchandise
attractions
costuming
housekeeping ~ this one is a maybe

but i'm really hoping for a character performer role.

I'm hoping to get into Spring 2010 as well!!
I've heard that the more roles you add = the better chance of you getting accepted into the program. So I'm going to be applying for a TON of roles! Lol.

Yes, it does help. Just make sure you only pick roles you feel comfortable doing (you don't want to pick any you don't like, as you could wind up with that role).

I'm iffy on Character Performer and Housekeeping too. I'm not too well of a dancer and have a feeling I wouldn't pass the audition, lol.

for me i thought if i can't see myself doing it for even just week, it's not part of my role checklist.
before i was counting down till when the fall 2010 apps would come up. but now i guess i'll be counting down till august. i'd rather do a fall program but i'm desperate to go to disney so spring or spring advantage it is.

I'll keep that in mind, I'd be willing to do about anything that didn't involve housekeeping.

 

[FlappyPaddle]

Sorry, I have another question...
I read somewhere that they have regular classes you can take for credit, is anybody planning on doing this?

I can not wait to apply for the spring '10 program! and I'm even more excited that I came across this forum with all the CP-ers! I've been all over the various disney rumor and news forums for years but never saw this one for some reason.

Welcome to the DIS!

Just got my acceptance letter, will be working 6 months in attractions and 6 months in hospitality! I'm so happy!

I look forward to meeting some of you there! Good luck with your application processes!

congratulations on your acceptance! when do you arrive and depart? maybe i'll see you there next year.

 

[disney&me]

I arrive in Jan and assume I will depart in December.

It's an International CP so a bit different from what you guys do but I think the basis is the same!

 

[Cloudless Nights]

Good luck to all of you applying for Spring '10! I have to wait until either Fall '10 or Spring '11 (my junior year) for my CP because of my major requirements. I hope you all get the role you want!

I know you can extend your stay but I remember hearing you can't stay a full year as a CP. So, how does that work exactly? For example..I plan on applying for the Spring advanced (Jan-Aug.) then if I extend I'd be there for the Fall, right? Or would they cut me off in like December?

I think that's how it goes. Either that or you'd pick a date in January that doesn't make you stay there for a whole year.

I have a question. Can you still participate in classes if you are on the Spring Advantage Quarter?

If you extend Spring Advantage, you would go Jan-Jan.

No need to do that. Just sign up for their email newsletter. They send out a message the day or the day after everything is available.
