The Official Spring/Spring Advantage 2010 Thread!

[Pure_Imagination]

It is And you'll definitely have to go on it again if you get to do the CP!!

I think I'd have to say either Pirates or Space Mountain. Pirates was cool because it's classic, and I loved finally being able to ride it after seeing all the movies. Space Mountain was cool because I rode the most roller coasters I've ever ridden in my life on this trip (about three or four, lol!), and I really loved it!!!! Not to mention I loved the whole Space-theme of it.

As for princess, I think I'm going to say Belle. I don't really know anything about the Disney princesses- I was way more into all of the Disney sports movies (Angels In The Outfield, anyone?) and the more recent animated movies.

It's almost tiiiiiiiime!!!!

3:16am and nothing yet.

I wasn't expecting but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try.

3:17am. Still nothing.

and so it begins...

As for princess, I think I'm going to say Belle. I don't really know anything about the Disney princesses- I was way more into all of the Disney sports movies (Angels In The Outfield, anyone?) and the more recent animated movies.

Oh, man. Tony Danza, Danny Glover and Doc Brown from Back to the Future? and it's a baseball movie to boot. I liked it when I was a kid. I'll probably love it now. haha.

As far as what Disney character I'm most like, it probably wouldn't be wise for me to throw out obscure characters, would it?

Gyro! Kuzko! Darkwing? Gosalyn? Launchpad! Scrooge! Zipper! Chip AND Dale. I should just stick with some kind of Aladdin/Abu/Genie/Magic Carpet hybrid of sorts. I'll stop there.

Someone from the FB group said that they talked to their recruiter and he said the apps will come out anytime between this week and Sept. 1. They are not allowed to give an approximate date.
So. if not tomorrow then sometime within the next two weeks

 

[thatbelle]

^ yeah i'm like gahhhh! i know i'll be up late, so i hope it comes out midnight, but i work tomorrow at 5:30 i need to make sure i can watch it before that and have enough time and whatnot. i'm just like....its all come down to this.

i'm gonna have to make a to-do list. so here it goes.

1) read about roles again and make a final list
2) look up more blogs and read
3) decide spring or spring advantage
4) go thorugh possible interview questions and practice answers
5) look up parks and figure out rides and whatnot i would like

ughhh thats all i can think of right now

Its 8:52 a.m. I got on to the site and it said you can apply now. But when I clicked on the e-presentation, it told me it wouldn't be up until the fall. Then I tried to get to the application and it said that they were no longer accepting for fall....yada yada yada, etc,etc,etc... So it looks like they're in the midst of putting it up but haven't fully set everything up yet

 

[Pure_Imagination]

I believe it's been saying you can apply now all summer, but everything's been offline. I guess we'll just have to keep checking and see. Oh well, at least we know it can't be much longer!!

 

[khancock]

gang,
I know you are anxious/excited/nervous, but keep in mind that there has not been any formal communication sent that stated August 18th.
I checked with my sources down there and they wouldn't commit to a specific date. Just said that there were significant changes coming to the interview process for this fall. They didn't say exactly what those changes were.

Your best bet is to get sleep, go on with your day to day life, and wait for the email that they will send stating that they are ready.

Contrary to what seems to be the popular belief, you don't have to be the first to apply, apply in the first week, etc. they have hundreds of positions that they will be filling.

 

[Pure_Imagination]

Yeah, we know, lol. I wonder what the major changes are... I think they only recently started having everything for the applications done completely online and all the interviews done by phone. Who knows.

It seems like the last couple of semesters there were too many people applying- more people were turned down than unusual. I'm just wanting to apply really early in case something like this happens. Plus I'm impatient and I don't want to wait until the middle of fall, lol! It's nice to know what you'll be doing the next semester as early as possible, but it is a huge program that would take tons of planning and time to set up

 

[DisneyFan2000]

Man i really really hope my college will accept the DCP credits -_-.. I'll be going to Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) and then off to Savannah College of Art and Design next year. If anyone knows if the program credit is accepted that would be great!

Im a freshman this year... we are allowed to apply for the DCP right?

Hmm... that makes me wonder if they ARE gonna start combining the interviews for DL and WDW, because they were talking about doing so (partly to make things easier, and partly to fix DL's CP )

Here's the thing. Your community college might actually accept credit if your major has any internship classes. The question would be if Savannah accepted that credit as a transfer. I don't know how transferring internship credit works or if it works. That's my problem. I'm thinking I can actually get credit through my community college for the CP, but I don't think the state school I want to transfer to would accept it as a transferred credit.

The best thing to do is to talk to your school and then also talk to Savannah. If I get into the program that's what I'm going to do- call the school I plan to transfer to and talk to whoever I need to talk to and see if they'll accept the credit themselves.

So long as you're a college student when you apply for the program, you'll be fine.

Well, whatever they need to do to fix DL's CP, they need to do, but from what I can tell the application/interview aspect of it is fine. It is their overall program that is a mess.

Your comment makes me wonder if they are going to change WDW's process to more closely match Disneyland's, though. Disneyland has had that extra step of filling out a Gallop profile for a couple of years.

 

[ashliejere]

What's a gallop profile?

 

[Simple_Motions]

Careerstart applications are up!

 

[ashliejere]

Hopefully CP isn't too far behind! I've been watching the e-pres since I heard they came up. haha.

 

[spectroaddy]

Hey guys,

Here is an update again, remember this not exact date!!! I emailed my recruiter again about CP application dates and was told it was moved to Aug. 23rd. So we will have to see!!!

haha the carrot is dangling further and further away.

I just realized what an awesome and strange word dangle is. That is all.

 

[Pure_Imagination]

We know it can't be too far if the Disneyland presentations start Sept. 15th. Hopefully that's the latest we'll have to wait!!

 

[khancock]

I made a typo. It is actually Gallup.

What Disneyland had as its step was this online "interview" that was a series of questions that asked you about your likes and dislikes. You would indicate how much you agreed or disagreed to each one. they call it an interview, but it was totally profiling people. When I looked at it, there really weren't any right or wrong answers.

People applying for Disneyland would then call for their interview. There are some old messages on here from people who did this. Those that passed went on with the telephone interview. Those that didn't were told that they didn't pass and that was it. Game over. No telephone interview. Nothing.
