CP 201_: a thread for college program hopefuls who have to wait a few years.

Do any of you guys want to work for Disney after college? I kind of want too

Definitely yes! I knew I wanted to work FT at Disney since doing my first CP.

What part of DHS do you work in?

EDIT: I just read it in your sig. Wow. I'm a loser. lol

Aw, no you're not.

Thanks Joanna Anyway, I remembered what other role I would want: Photopass Photographer. Even though I'm not a professional or anything I love to take pics and they turn out pretty well. It sounds like a fun role.

Do you guys think it would be better to do the cp in fall or spring? I just wonder.

 

[ipodluvr287]

Oops. Double post.

I've been debating this myself. I think I'd really like to do Fall, just because I love being at Disney during Christmas. BUT, my high school dance team (that my sister will be on when I plan to do the program) will be going to WDW during Spring 2012, so if I did that program, they would be there for a week with me.

Are you planning on doing advantage? I'm still not sure yet.

SPRING
I'm still debating Spring Advantage or Spring.

I think I would do Fall Advantage because I love Disney during the holidays. Plus you get more hours because you start in summer (very busy), you're there for Halloween (busy), Thanksgiving (busy), and Christmas (very busy). I might miss the holidays with my family, but I'd get over it. In spring the only major busy times you are there for are Spring Break and summer (if you do Spring Advantage). I just think Fall Advantage is a better choice.

I'm definitely doing Fall Advantage. Partly because I have to do it after I graduate- so the only time I could do it is in the fall. And partly because I would love to work summer, halloween, thanksgiving, and christmas. There are just so many changes in the parks at those times. You get to see all the decorations And I don't think I would mind working on the holidays.

I was planning on doing FA too! For all the above reasons mentioned, and if I happen to get into entertainment, there would be more of a likelihood that I could get trained in something like a parade, show, etc. if I had the right coloring code from my audition. (I forget the exact name of the coding system that they base your audition scores on, but I'm pretty sure for dance type things like parades you have to be in high yellow?)

I'm pretty sure its yellow and red. I would also love to do a parade or show. Its true that during that season there is more of a chance as they have at least 5 different parades at Magic Kingdom and more at the other parks at that time. There is SpectroMagic, Celebrate a Dream Come True, Move it and Shake It Street Party, Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party parades. That's just at MK.

I definitely prefer Fall over Spring. I love being at WDW for the major holidays (plus, my birthday falls over the summer).

It ranges from blue to red (for both animation and dance). It all depends on the show/parade, and the role in the show/parade.

My birthday is in summer too, July 28th to be exact. Another reason to do FA.

That's what I'm hoping for! I graduate in 2013 also. Go freshmen! Haha

I don't think I'd be able to stand waiting that long! If I had known about the CP my freshman year, I don't know how I'd manage to stay sane. Haha, I've pretty much already gone crazy, obsessing over the program, and I've still got at least a year or two before I can go.

Anyways, hi! Do you know what roles you're interested in?

Also, I know what you mean about high school not ending soon enough. The days seem to go by so slowly, but the years really do go by fast!

So. I had a nightmare last night about the college program.
I was assigned to work at the Poly as a server but my trainer hated us and tried to make us fail. My roommates were all character attendants at the parks, and my trainer kept making us fail at our jobs. And we had to wear these cute dresses that kept getting shorter and knee socks with flip-flops.

Oh boy. that was horrible. and it made no sense in reality.
