who is doing a Pro Internship in 09?

[Rufio]

Rufio, is your interview for Retail management on the phone or in person?

I am doing over the phone due to my location- washington state...now if they said i had got the job and wanted to interview me still i would fly just for fun i guess but school is the big bummer here.

 

[Rufio]

Sorry, Couldn't help myself...Just trying to cut the tension for ya'll. My son is currently doing a CP and applied for the F&B management internship.

Will let you know how it progresses (if it does!)

"I would be surprised if Disney were concerned about the lack of an old, old wooden ship, but nice try."

heyoooh! love that movie- IT IS A CLASSIC!

"brian, im going to be honest that smells like pure gasoline!"

"stings the nostrils"

 

[GiAnnie]

Hey Rufio, I am from WA state too! Have you made the long drive to FL before? I have always flown, so the thought of that cross country trek seems daunting!

 

[namara87]

I got an offer and accepted a position for the Front Office Management Internship today!!! I interviewed for it last season when they ended up canceling the position, so I didn't have to interview again! I'm so excited!

Best of luck to all those with interviews coming up!

Congrats! I interviewed for Retail Management last season, and I was hoping that having done so, I would be able to avoid an Interview for the Fall '09 season. But I still have to interview...at least I know what to expect this time. Hope to see you down there.

Good Luck Rufio...it looks like we'll be interviewing right after each other on Wednesday. Hopefully it's good news for both of us. For my sanity, I will probably avoid these boards at all costs till I get an answer.

Bonne Chance to those still waiting to hear something!

What are you going to do for transportation in FL?

Yeah Bellingham can be pretty cool. I am getting sick of it though. Ready for the next place... like Orlando!

I have a myspace, but am barely on it. I am on facebook all the time though. You??

And my PI status is non-existent. I applied for MI in Ops and Retail, and I applied for all the finance PIs. Still have my fingers crossed I hear something back next week! Good luck on your interview next week though!

hey washingtonians!!! I am from washington too! who knew there were so many of us!!!!

 

[lauraebeth]

I would like to comment that it's interesting that we're creating our own lingo. . . for example, MI.

also, I think people @ disney still consider the program an advanced internship, because I was talking to someone @ Saratoga the other day about the DVC one and she referred to it as the advanced internship. as do some of the leaders in my region

 

[Berlioz70]

I agree about the advance internship! During my CP I was talking to my captain about networking for a PI and he kept talking about these advance internships... he convinced me that there really was something with that name. Needless to say, he had no idea what he was talking about and I ended up going elsewhere for CORRECT information.

Last summer I drove from Portland to Orlando I know it is not Washington but almost the same. We made a stop in Salt Lake City, UT so the ****ty part was Idaho. There just isn't anything there, so pretty much we drove Portland to Boise to Salt Lake City to Denver to Kansas City to Nashville to Atlanta to Orlando. That route is 44 hours and 49 minutes.. I like driving and stoping at the roadside stops that are weird and kinda kooky. So it took us a little longer then that. I would recomend if your AAA member or your parents are, stop in an office and get a triptik made for the trip. It will have updated road construction, rest stops and mile markers on it.
If I get the internship I will be driving from Califorina, which I have done before and its a cakewalk.

[islandears]

Good luck to everyone.....I dunno what's going to happen but I've reached that "two months since applying" mark so I'm a little dejected...but I have to focus on finals so I have to rip myself from the computer screen...if there are any updates I'll let yall kno....but for now adieu!
keep your fingers crossed!
islandears out.

 

[kristilovesdw]

It seems alot of the Management PI's are now gone from the Disney site... good sign hopefully everything is nearing completion. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[einahpets126]

Congratulations!!! You are giving me hope...

Did they tell you where you would be placed yet?

Thank you!! I don't know yet where I'll be placed. I think when I interviewed they might have asked me where I would like to be placed, but I don't remember what I had answered- there are so many I would love to work at!

nice one!
NOW thats what im talkin bout- you are now SHAKE FREE!
great job...now do not leave without us ok?! we are a nerdy strange disney freakish family!

It is good to be shake free, but I'll definitely still be on the boards. My friends are happy for me, but they really DO NOT understand how excited I am!! I'm sure they need a break from hearing me talk about FL and Disney.

I'll also be putting my two cents into any housing conversations, because that's my new challenge!

For those still looking around about housing options incase you do ever hear back from Disney, there will be 2 female openings where I am living come June when I go back home when my PI is done. I currently pay $425 a month but I believe it might be cheaper with 3 people living here not 2 like there is now. It is fully furnished vacation rental in Kissimmee down the street from Coral Cay and the others. Everything is included in the rent and the unit is right across from the clubhouse where they have a pool, workout room and other fun ammenities. Let me know if you are interested. I know how you all feel I was there last semester, and had to rush to find a place when I finally found out I was going! Goodluck to all that are still waiting to hear back!

 

[dopeyrunner]

Thanks for the tip about the available housing... The people I interviewed with on Friday said that people should start hearing back as far as decision go at the end of this coming week and begining of the following. Thank god I have a 1/2 marathon in two weeks so I have something else to focus on and burn off those Disney Shakes.

So there are two roomates now, or three? Also, what is the pet status? If you can't have pets there, are there any places that you know of that do take pets? I have a cat and a 15 lb dog that I really can not leave. Hard to believe, but they mean more to me than Disney they're my babies.
