Okay nevermind my last few posts...I just got my acceptance letter as an Attractions Cast Member for Spring 2011!!!! So excited wow! I will continue watching vids and vhlogs and perhaps even start a vhlog of my own. I appreciate all advice and looking forward to meeting so many cool people along with this wonderful experience!
Hope i'm not bugging. 1 more thing. While I feel I did well on my phone interview, there's 2 things I'm worried about from the interview alone: #1 I was asked "how would i feel walking into a restuaraunt that's filthy" and I pretty much responded "oh i would feel disgusted"....not realizing that this was most likely just my interviewer inquiring about how I would handle a situation...(man that sucks). #2 while she seemed pleased with our convo, she never asked if i had questions. is that bad?
I Think the main reason I even have a temptation to call and ask a rep or recruiter general questions is because I am so anxious at this time and was wondering if me calling them would irritate them and get me an automatic "no" or if they might actually be glad to see I was so enthused. What is your take on that? And I know questions similar to this probably get asked a lot but what are the chances of someone making it if they selected at least 8 or 9 roles? I appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Hey I enjoy your vids! I've been wanting to do the WDW college program for the longest and finally applied for Spring2011 last Tuesday (sept.21st) after going to a presentation, & had my phone interview that Thursday morning (sept. 23rd). I feel I did well and let my personality/enthusiasm show through the phone. I am however still very anxious waiting this 3/4week period & nervous cause I really want this!lol. Any advice on relaxing? Also, Is it a good idea to call a rep for general questions?
i thought that was REALLY weird cause u started talking about a girl named lauren with red hair and graduated from millikin and i fit all that but i do not know u XD
I can answer the question about the age of DCP entry. On the website (if I read it correctly) the minimum age you have to be to get into the program is 18. At 18 (If I'm correct) you'll be put into a certain dorm (the "dry" dorm). What I mean by "dry" dorm is that the "dorm" is an apartment that is a no drinking dorm.
hey john i have a question i noticed in one of your earlier episodes you said that the cut off height for the princesses are 5ft 6in what is the minimum height?

You V-logs rock!!!!!!!!! I was at the MK about two weeks a go with my family. We took my nephew to the Jungle Cruise. I was looking for your boat but I couldn't find it. My question is..... Do all the JC Boat Drivers have a sense of humor? When I went to the JC the guy that was driving the boat was so funny. He was an african american dude. I can't remember his name.
Hey John, for your 50th vlog you need to video the whole thing in the magic kingdom! You should also make it at least8 minutes long, we need more John!
I just discovered your channel and have been watching your videos. I'm doing the career program in fall 2010, I find your videos helpful and entertaining. I hope to see more of your videos in the future. :)
Was thinking about your 50th episode and you could do your top 50 things you love about Disney World... or 50 things you learned being a Jungle Cruise Skipper.. or just go eat at the 50's Prime Time Cafe... Have fun!
HEY! I drank out of that cup a second ago! Except, mine has an R on it...so not the same cup.
i voted for loren! hooray!!!
and I just went to Disney last month for my birthday, and if I had known you worked at JC, I would have looked for your boat. But alas I discovered this vlog a week ago....bummer. But my friend works for Disney so I'll visit soon and hopefully you'll still be there!
hey john....i counted 5 scoops of coffee in there....are you ok? are things treating you well? 'cause that much coffee for just 2 cups of water....yeah, not good.
"If I could have thrown this guy off my boat, I think my managers would have supported it. I have never had a guest so rude before. Wow." -- Tell us what challenges you face as a Jungle Cruise Skipper in the 50th episode / whatever happened with this particular rude guy.
Thanks for the plug!!! I miss you...and being on the vlog with you :(. But yay thank you thank you thank you. I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!! kthnaxbai. -Loren
I LOVE your vlogs! :D What kind of camera/camcorder do you use? I've been trying to find a nice camcorder to make vlogs with when I leave for the CP on May 14th. :)
Hey John, I have a question- do they let people in the college program work on Kilimanjaro Safaris in Animal Kingdom?? Can you tell more about the cp roles at Animal Kingdom??
@elephantologist they do, i know several CPs who work there, there are a lot of different opportunities at DAK but they usually fall under Attractions, QSFB, Merch, Main Entrance, Custodial, and Entertainment (plus others) if you are talking about roles that work with the animals there are tons of professional internships that do this. But if you are wanting to work at Safaris i would email your recruiter and request to be placed there (if you are in attractions)
@JohnWDWCP I applied for Fall 2010 and had my interview on April 9th so I am still waiting for the answer. Attractions was in my top three roles. So I should wait to contact my recruiter after acceptance right?And I was thinking of the professional animal internships too-I was waiting for that after I graduate with my Biology degree. Want to try the college program first. It is my dream to work in Animal Kingdom as an animal keeper.
Please visit Anaheim California!

Question! Do you think it would be more fun to wait until you were 21 to do the program, or could you have just as much fun at 19 or 20?
