Spring Advantage 2012

[*idreamofdisney*]

Hey guys! So I know it's a bit early, but I thought I'd start a thread for those of us who are applying for the Spring or Spring Advantage College program. Hopefully we can all be successful! Has anyone who is applying applied in the past? I applied last semester, but I didn't pass the web interview. : I'm a bit nervous about doing it again, I don't want to fail again!

Thanks! I didn't know there was one yet, but now I do! Are you in the program already or applying for the Spring for the first time?

I am applying for the Spring!

What are your top role choices?

I'm a Spring 2011 alumni and I'm doing another program in Spring 2012! This is going to be a long 5 month wait...

I am applying for the Spring!

What are your top role choices?

My top choice, BY FAR, is character performer. I am a performer to the end of the earth and back! I worked as a character performer at SIx Flags so I have some experience with it. My other top choice is Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, but I'll also take FSFB, Attractions, Hospitality, and Character Attendant. How about you??

Hi!
I'm sure I've posted this before, but I want to do it again because I'm so excited for apps to come out next month!!! My top roles are character performer, attractions, merchandise, and character attendant. But I really wouldn't mind anything except for QSFB, custodial, or hospitality.

What was your role in the Spring of 2011? Did you have a car? I'm like freaking out because I don't think I will have a car and I'm afraid I'll be miserable with out one!

Hey all! I'm hoping for spring advantage.
My top role choices are Attractions for sure and then character attendant and photo pass but I don't know which one I want 2nd and which one 3rd!
I’m scared about the WBI since I am graduating in Dec this is my only chance to get into the program!
I'm really excited though!

Yep! This is my first time applying to the college program. I'm also really excited for the audition in addition to the regular application

I'm nervous about the web interview as well. I applied for the program last semester but I didn't pass the web interview. I made a note of the first day they said I could reapply, so I'm like counting down the days!! I've been researching what people say about the WBI and so far, most people say try not to answer neutral on too many questions, which is what I did the last time and probably why I didn't pass.

Where do you go to school, what do you study?

I'm excited too! I love the audition process. Have you watched any of the Disney audition videos? There's a couple on youtube and also one on the college program website.

I took the WBI during the Fall Season for practice (using my roommate's info), and passed it. Some tips I used/would reccomend are try not to answer neutral (most of my answers were either strongly agree or strongly disagree), read the questions carefully, don't second guess yourself, and make sure to be consistent.

That was a good idea to practice it! Yeah I think answering neutral too many times is why I didn't pass. I'm going to apply the first day I'm able to and watch the e-presentation so I can get right to the web interview. According to the prompt that I got at the end of the web interview last semester, the first day I can apply is August 16th.

QSFB actually isn't that bad. Where I was last program we got paid the highest out of most of the CP participants.

Not having a car is not a problem. Disney's buses take you everywhere you need to go. I also did not have a car but one of my best friends had one so I almost never got on the buses. I didn't miss out on a thing down there even though I couldn't drive. Believe me you will make friends with people who have a car. just remember to offer gas money.

How efficient are the buses? Like is there always long waits and stuff? I'm not applying with any of my friends so I'm like nervous that I'll have a hard time making friends when I get down there. I'm like very open and friendly so I'm hoping to make friends tho!
