Two weeks out.mare1203 said:does anyone know how disney does there scheduling? Is it weekly, bi-weekly, monthly?
I realize that they're probably just going to stick us in where they need help, but I was just wondering how it was done.
Whoever asked if they should save up, you probably should. I did and it's helped out a lot. If you choose the fall program you get a lot of holiday discounts including 40% off of merch. from 20%. Plus you get to experince both the slowest and busiest times of the year, not to mention getting to see the regular shows, parades, etc. but also the holiday shows, parades, and events.
One thing I have learned from the CP is that most kids down here aren't here because they like Disney as you might think. Most are here to put it on their resume and for a fun semester-long party. So be prepared for that. Can you tell I wasn't?
I would say the CP isn't that hard to get into if you sell yourself to Disney. Show them you are passionate about their company (but not an obsessed freak) and smile. Being fans you know how Disney wants their CMs to be. If you can sell that is what you are, you should be fine.
As far as living goes, if you can bring your car I HIGHLY SUGGEST IT. Those who left their car at home regret it. There is busing provided, but it isn't always dependable. I live in Chatam Square in a two-bedroom apartment. I like it. There is quite enough space compared to any dorm many of you are living in. Chatam also has more bathrooms/bedrooms compared to Vista and more cable channels if that matters to you. I have heard good things from Vista too, but I haven't lived there so I couldn't say.
As far as "ruining the magic" goes... yes, you might encounter some of that. Those that work in some areas will encounter it a lot more than others but it's still there. If you work at the Magic Kingdom you have the highest chance of seeing things you might not want to. Overall I've just viewed it as a learning experince and tried not to let things I've seen ruin it for me, but just make it more exciting when I see them as a guest.
If you have any questions you can contact me. My information is listed in my profile. I'd be happy to chat with you.
