Okay, so I just finished my interview for the Professional Internship Program. It was scheduled for 8:30 and I hung up with my interviewer at 8:50. I'm hoping that's a decent length for a PI interview. The questions were what I expected. A lot of them were about team work, flexibility, computer experience, etc.
She said she would forward my interview information to the managers of the roles I'm interested in and then they would decide what to do from there and that I would hear by May 1st at the latest. Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck!
It sounded like I was being seriously considered for the Graphic Design and Creative, Inc. PIs.
I'm excited! I'll keep you guys updated! :D

I AM A TERRIBLE BLOGGER...
I'm sorry guys! I totally didn't keep you guys updated. I still have lots of home video stuff from while I was there. I just haven't edited it together for vlogs. And everything's been so crazy here since I got home...I haven't really had time to tell you guys about the end.
I apologize.
But I thought about this blog the other day. I've applied for four different Professional Internships, and I'm calling to schedule my phone interview tomorrow. I also have a friend that's in Orlando right now on the program. I'm sure she's having a wonderful time. :)
I had a great time on my college program. I made lots of good friends, worked my BUTT off, and had a lot of good times. I still love the Walt Disney World resort, and the Walt Disney Company. My goals have changed a little since I started the program though. It's something that only practical work experience could have helped me see.
Anyway, I want to encourage anyone who wants to be a part of the program to just do it. To go for it. It may not be all sunshine and rainbows, but it's well worth it. Yes, you get to make magic, and it's amazing. But that doesn't mean it's not WORK because it is. So don't go there to party. Go there to help make people's vacations brighter, and gain rewarding experiences.
I'll keep you all updated on my Professional Internship application process. Thanks for following me through my program! I had the time of my life!

The Acceptances Have Started to Roll Out!
At around 3 PM yesterday Disney started sending out acceptance e-mails to people who interviewed on or before the 26th of January (which obviously doesn't include me, lol.) But It's still nice to know that people are hearing back before the 4-6 week mark! Maybe I won't have to wait very long to hear back from them! Some people heard back with in ten days of their interview!
My interview is tomorrow so ten days from tomorrow is...the 17th. That's a Wednesday, but it's looks like Disney sends most of their e-mails out on Friday afternoons so probably around Friday the 19th I'll start checking my e-mail and mail box obsessively. Also to help me out with the wait I took Abby of the Abby in Wonderland (who was one of the ones to get accepted yesterday) blog's suggestion and ordered a Disney Vacation Planning DVD. It should be here in 2-3 weeks. Here's hoping I'll hear back from Disney before it gets here.
It looks like a lot of people have been getting their 4th and 5th choices so I'm preparing myself just in case I don't get Character Attendant or Merchandise. I'll be perfectly okay with my other choices, but I feel like Merchandise is a realistic choice. A lot of people have been getting that one.
Anyway, that's enough DCP talk for today. You'll hear more from me about it tomorrow after my interview! For now though, since I'm snowed in, I wanted to fill out this survey type of thing that I saw on someone's blog. Just for fun! :)
Movies
Which movie is your favorite?
Sleeping Beauty
Which movie has the best story?
Beauty and the Beast
Which movie did you laugh the most at?
Finding Nemo
Which movie made you cry?
The Fox and the Hound
What is your favorite song from the movies?
"A Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid
Which Disney movie probably shouldn’t have been made?
Home on the Range
Are you sick of the sequels?
I'm sick of the ones that use the original story and tweak it a little bit.
The Park
Have you ever been to Disneyland?
No
Have you ever been to Disney World?
Yes, Twice.
Have you been to any of the other Disney Parks around the world?
No.
Which park is the best?
Disney Hollywood Studios. I love all the rides and all the shows. It just has a little bit of all of my favorite things.
What’s your favorite ride?
Splash Mountain...or Big Thunder Mountain. I love them both equally.
What’s your least favorite ride?
It's a Small World no offense to Walt Disney, but I just can't take that song. (Unless you're talking about the beautiful medley Kerry Butler recorded of Small World and God Help the Outcasts. I love that version!)
Who have you been to Disney with?
My parents, and my aunt and uncle.
Would you go back?
In a heartbeat.
Did you get autographs and/or pictures with your favorite characters?
No, but I probably would now. I have nephews now and they would FLIP out.
Would you ever work for Disney?
Again, in a heartbeat.
Which is the best show at Disney?
The Festival of the Lion King or Fantasmic. The Festival of the Lion King is my favorite park daytime show, but Fantasmic is my favorite night time show.
Which is the best restaurant?
The sad thing about being on a budget and staying at a Villa is that we really didn't eat at many of the amazing Disney restaurants. We DID however stop by the bakery in Paris at Epcot. THAT is my favorite place EVER. So delicious.
Which is the best hotel on Disney property?
Old Key West. I just love everything about it. The relaxed vibe, the service, the theme. It was just beautiful.

I got an Interview!
If you look to your right ---->
You'll see a beautiful little countdown "nametag". Do you want to know why?
BECAUSE I JUST SCHEDULED MY INTERVIEW!
I was a little nervous (I have no idea why) and it was a little awkward because the woman talked really fast. I had to ask her to repeat things a couple of times, but we got it scheduled! I'll be interviewing on Sunday the 7th at 2:15 PM! YAY!
Now I just have to be patient and wait for Sunday. *sigh* I'm really not good at waiting.

Some Interesting Reads...
Hi again!
No, I haven't scheduled my interview yet because it is, in fact, Sunday. It's killing me to have to wait to schedule my interview! I'm going crazy! I've been trying to distract myself by posting on disboards.com but the boards aren't really busy right now. So I went exploring for other blogs! I found a really interesting one by someone who JUST finished the program. If you would like to give it a read it's called "The Happiest Internship on Earth" and HERE is the link. It's really helpful for someone like me who is just starting this process. She talks about decisions she had to make and dealing with the work schedule and being away from home for the holidays. She brought up some things I hadn't really considered at every step of the program.
Also I found two blogs from other people who are also applying: "Working for the Mouse" and "Magic Magic Mousketeer"
If you're reading this and you have a College Program blog too, let me know! I'd like to read it!
So I've finally decided on how I'm going to rank the roles I want:
1. Character Attendant (I really really want this one, but there's a lot of people applying for this one.)
2. Merchandising (I want to interact with guests while they're in the park.)
3. Vacation Planning (I LOVE planning vacations. I really enjoy finding deals and utilizing benefits.)
4. Concierge (Again, I'm looking for guest interaction and service.)
I'm fairly certian I checked all of these, but I was very nervous and excited while filling out the application and can't really remember everything I checked. I'm sure, if I didn't, I could add them during my interview. I don't think that would be a problem. I've also heard that they ask people if they would be willing to work "Quick Service Food and Beverage", and I've decided that I will tell them "If you really need people for it then I would be willing to have that role, but I feel I would learn the most from the roles I have already chosen."
I've been thinking about and exploring possible interview questions. I think I'll be pretty prepared for it. I'm actually really looking forward to it! That's all for today folks! Enjoy!
