Valerie wdwcp Vlog #03 - Surprise Surprise!

My third vlog :)

It's official!

Hey there guys! [or just myself.. hehehehe]
Well now it is finally official! I have just reserved my space in the Disney College Program! I'm officially checking in on June 6th and checking out January 3 for the Fall Advantage Program and like I said I'm in Quick Service Food and Beverage! :)

One of the best things to happen to the college program in my opinion now is.... FACEBOOK! it's easier to connect with people, get extra info and find a roommate if you're not planning on going with a friend! [which is my case.. i did all this aloneee] so I had nobody to room with :( but then ... like sent from above hahahaha nah I asked Kathleen, who had posted in one of the discussions threads that she was looking for roomies in Chatham complex, so I sent her a message and tada! She was already rooming with Taylor, but was looking for a roomie for Megan! So yey! And also at that same time Crystal had sent me a message looking for a roomie, now we are looking for the missing 6th link and the apartment is all done!

So apartments... what is up with them?

There are 4 apartment complexes

1. The Commons [for the international cast members] 
2. Vista Way [the oldest] - this one has a rep for being the party central, and kinda old and smelly [idk] 

 

3 bedrooms - 2 bathrooms = not gonna happen!

      3. Chatham [second in line] - this one is pretty awesome actually, it's not that new, but it's a good size and that...]

 

Chatham - 3 bedroom, 3 bathrooms, small kitchen [i don't really mind the kitchen thou] and balcony (: it's pretty spacious, i like.

       4. Patterson [the newest]

                                                                           Patterson


well, those are videos of 3 bedroom apartments (:

Val WDWCP Fall 2011 vlog - 2

This was a video blog I made, i'm still doing it, but I need to update it! yikes! lets see!

The Waiting is OVER!

I really don't think this is normal. I mean, accepted after only 5 days?! YEY!! But I asked around and usually the waiting time is from 2 - 3 weeks! So people be patiente!!
I'll be working in Quick Service Food & Beverage, still don't know which area, cause you get it once you are there! You could try asking your recruiter, but it's mostly a thing of chance!
But think purple!!! And your folder may arrive soon!
Also! Once you get an invitation, you have to accept it by paying the fees! I still haven't done this, seeing as I have to go to my house 'cause my parents want to see it before paying for it, idk.
But yeyyy, also, now is the time you should start looking for a roomie, if you don't have a friend to go with!
There are many blogs, and Facebook groups which you could start looking for!

I'm in that process, soon I shall post the Roommate Survey (:
Btw.. is anybody reading this? LOL
=]
Have a Magical Day/Night!

College Presentation!

So on May 14th I went to my college presentation of the Disney Program. Ever since I was a freshman I saw the propaganda for the program but never actually attended one, so, this being my last semester I decided to give it a try. It was actually pretty fun and entertaining and i found it was better than the e-presentation 'cause you can ask questions directly to the presentation recruiter and get things cleared out! They also had fun games and you could win Disney gadgets like a deck of card, a pen and stuff like that. After the presentation was done, they gave us a paper with the information of all the campus reps. and the school/faculty contact and the next steps to take after watching the presentation. So... what do you do next????

• Steps to take after watching the presentation: 

1. Visit www.disneycollegeprogram.com 
2. Select the location in which you wish to work [most people, as I did, choose the walt disney world college program, but you can pick the disneyland on, but that one's more costly] 
3. Click "Apply Now" - Here choose as many roles as you think you can, the more you pick the better chances you have of getting a role as a Cast Member !!!
4. Enter the presentation code when prompted
5. Complete the web-based interview. Answer as honestly as you can! Remember this is Disney, they want people with Magic, not grumpy people working with them ;)

If you did a pretty good job chances are you will get an email saying that you have what they are looking for and will give you a number so you can schedule a phone interview! For the interview be prepared!!! And try to set the appointment as quickly as you can, you want to get this done with before the rest of the other college kids at your college did so, if you wait too much then the process might be longer =]

You should hear from them in about a week, or 2 or 3, it all depends. In my case I did this all quickly, as soon as I got out of the presentation, i  went online, applied, did the web based interview and then the next day I called to schedule my interview. I schedule it the next day, and so I got the call. I was everyday checking my email, and I couldn't wait for 2 weeks to pass by, but to my surprise... I got an answer 5 days later!!!!! :D And that day is today ! lol well i'll keep you posted!
