1:42. Favorite part of the video. Cinderella's Castle with the Christmas lights is quite a site to see. I was transferred to MK in early January, when the lights were still up. I also got to go to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (I didn't have work that day, and I believe I had the next day off, so I made sure to have some fun!) I', strongly leaning towards doing another Program, and perhaps seeing if I can go FT.
I was down jan - may of 09 in attractions it was the best thing I ever did. I am going back in a little more than a month for transportation and I am looking to go fulltime. I would reccommend this to anyone it was the best time I ever had
I'd say just be really excited. Make a point of saying that you love the idea of meeting people from all over the country and the world! Make sure you say that you thinking living with roommates is very exciting. Also, be prepared to answer the typical interview questions: Tell me about a challenge you faced at work, how do you deal with trouble with co workers...etc!
few questions, did you take any classes? are the classes worth taking? also, if you work a lot over time will you make some decent money out of that semester? most importantly, how much money does the average CP bank as profit at the end of the program
IT really depends on how much you spend. you pay for your apartment weekly but you can leave with a good amount of cash. they really have NO problem ever working anybody overtime! they are not stingy at all! haha I did not take any classes because I really wanted to enjoy my days off but I have heard they are good classes. :) You'd love the program... its absolutely incredible!
I got accepted and am going for Spring 2010! I'm excited. Next month I'm auditioning for a character role. I hope I get it. If not- i'm in merchandise. Even though it's retail (which I despise)...It's freakin DISNEY WORLD!! :) What'd you do in Entertainment? Which apartment did you stay in? What all did you buy extra (like closet spacers or appliances) for the apartment? I'm not going to even ask if you had fun, I can tell by the very well-made video that you did. :)
Ive been wanting to do the college program since 6th grade im thinking of doing spring maybe spring advantage 2011 any tips or just general knowledge?
Oh man, I love this. Me and my best friend/future roommate just watched it... we're going to get there August 12 and stay through January 2. So exciting.
So exciting!! :) I have a couple friends that are going to start their college program on the 12th! I am actually going to be in Orlando then too! YAY! :)
Well I would say it totally depends on the person! My biggest bit of advice would be to just make sure you are taking advantage of all the fun things available to you! Don't sit around in our apt bored after work or on your days off! Make sure you go have fun in the parks, or resorts, or water parks! It will make all the difference!
Oh My GOODNESS!! I have been watching College Program videos for the past hour and a half! I applied the other day for the 2009 Fall Advantage program, and my interview is tomorrow EEK! I'm kind of nervous but more excited. I want this more than I've wanted a lot of things in my life. I couldn't ever imagine a better reward than being a part of making people's dreams and experiences absolutely perfect! If you have any advice I would appreciate it! Glad to see you had a great time on your program
Make sure you are excited and positive! But it sounds like you are looking to do it for the right reason! Just express that and you shouldn't have a problem!! Good Luck!!
I've been watching Disney College Program videos for three hours now, and this one is amazing!
I told myself I'd go my first semester of junior year...so, the semester after next. I cannot wait! But that doesn't stop me from going to the meetings every semester...
The program is what you make it. Remembers that it is in fact a job and not a vacation. But make sure you get out there and take advantage of all the cast member perks! oh! and DEFINITELY go to Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party! And go overboard with your costume! lol
Hey, I've been doing a lot of research on this and I'm really thinking about doing the program, and I just had a question - do you get to choose where you want to work in the parks or do they assign that?
When you apply they give you a list of roles and their descriptions...such as Merchandise, Front Desk, operations, quick service food and beverage, Outdoor foods etc. You decide which of those you would be WILLING to do. If you don't say your willing, they won't put you there. You don't get to choose where you work on property, but you can request if you are esp interested in working a certain area. It doesn't guarantee anything, but it doesn't hurt to ask! :)
Okay, I see - thanks for clarifying. :) I was thinking of doing something in either Animal Kingdom (because I love animals), The Living Seas (because I love sea life & Nemo), or the Animation Center in Hollywood Studios (because animation is a big passion of mine). Would I be able to choose from those as "certain areas" I have interest in?
Well when you interview you can totally stress your love of animals and specifically mention DAK, Nemo, or Animation. Giving then that many options will prob help you get you in one of those areas. Again it really doesn't promise anything BUT they are fairly good about placing people in areas they are interested in! If you have any questions about the interview or program in general send me a message and I can help you with that! :)
omg alex i love your video!!! Seriously girl i am mad excited about you coming! Bring your cam and we will get some more footage! Luv u and see you in a few days!

Hey! Me too!
When I saw my acceptance email today, I freaked out!
My entire life I dreamed of going to WDW.
In 2010, that dream will become a reality.
I guess when you stride for them, dreams really do come true!

There is a list of roles (jobs) that you can do, and you pick from that list the ones you would do. Then they pick one for you.
