Hi Everyone
I just accepted and I am super excited! I was wondering if anyone else has signed up for Aug 20th arrival. The roommate notification is not working for our date at least not yet. Anyway I thought it would be cool to get to know some people who are going down the same time. We can exchange Myspace or Aim. I just think it would be really cool to befriend some people before we get there! Talk to you Soon!
Jessica
Congratulations, where will you be working or do you even know that yet?
I am returning to Disney after a 2 year absence and will be starting back on May 24th in Entertainment.
Best of luck to you.
Hey I will be doing custodial work I basically left all options open so I could get into the program I didnt care what job I got or how much I was making. My main goal is to work for Disney or Pixar one day because I am a Graphic Design Major so I hope it all works out. How was the expierence for you do you have a myspace or anything?

As for custodial, that was my role last summer. I worked at Epcot WS (which was a great location).
I have never been College Program I have always been a regular CM. But I have worked with many CPers and they always have a great time.Quote:

A good friend of mine started out as a Custodial CP and eventually became full time in Attractions then became Indy at the Stunt Show and is currently a precision driver at LMA.
I know others who have become animators such as Lon Smart and still others have gone on into acting and stunt work. A good friend of mine is now in Imagineering. If you know how to work it, it can be a great company to work for.
Have fun with what you do.
Ooo, where will you be at? Indiana Jones? Beauty and the Beast? Fant? None of the above?
I used to be at Indiana Jones primarily but was trained at several stages at the Studios and a couple at DAK.
I expect I am returning to IJ although they haven't confirmed that yet...
what are the chances of actually keeping a job down there when the CP is over? My main goal is to stay down there as long as posibble to work my way into becoming a graphic designer for the company.
Maybe I will see you there, then.Quote:

It would be awesome to be able to Network with people there or even get a job down there in entertainment eventually. Do you have any advice/tips/ideas on how I would go about doing so? I would greatly appreciate any help:D

ok, Thanks!
