Accepted!!!!
Yep that's right Ive been accepted!! I received the email this evening. I just about had a heart attack! I have been accepted as an Attractions cast member for the Spring 2011 season. It was my second choice out of my top 3. I'm quite happy I got this role rather than qsfb or merch.
I figure I may as well tell my story as to how I found out because I'm supposed to be studying but got bored. So I was taking a nap and woke up to a text from Bree saying someone had been accepted. I was like WHAT!? WHO!? So then she told me and I went outside to sit on the patio because its super nice here right now. So both of my parents were out there as well, and I was saying how someone got in. So I went on my phone and looked at facebook and TONS of people had been accepted. I had yet to receive an email. So I was a bit bummed. I said to my mom well I guess I didn't get in today. No more than two min after that my phone starts flashing purple which means an email. I was like omg there is no way that i got in. So then i looked to see what account it was under and it was the one I gave to Disney. So then I really started to get anxious because I NEVER get email on that account. So I opened it up and I read,
Dear Sarah,
Congratulations! You have been selected to participate as an Attractions Cast Member on the Disney College Program in the Spring 2011 Season.

Anxious!
Ok so pending letters have been out since Thursday. I was a little nervous about that but now people have started to receive rejection letters. So now I'm really freaked! I was rejected for fall 2010 so I'm all freaked out now!! I feel bad for the people who were rejected its an awful feeling.
I do however find it odd that they have not sent out acceptances yet. Its complete torture knowing people are pending and rejected but yet nobody knows! Some one asked them and they were told that people who interviewed the 20th would hear between the 10th and the 17th which is the 3-4 weeks. So that means I should be hearing between the 15th-20th. This Monday will be my second week.
So me being the broke college student that I am I went on Craig's list the other day and posted a babysitting ad and a lady emailed me. So I called her and I have a babysitting interview on Tuesday. And then all the Halloween stores are opening now. So the guy called today from the Halloween store and I have that interview on Wednsday. So this could be interesting.
Here is to hoping myself and everyone else who is waiting gets in! Especially my soon to be roomie Bree!!!

First post.
Well hello! This is my first post as you can tell by my title! Where do I start? Well my name is Sarah and im 21 almost 22. I am waiting to hear if I was accepted in to the Disney college program or not. I was rejected for fall so im REALLY hoping I dont get rejected again.
My top 3 Roles were/are Recreation, Attractions, and Main Entrance Operations. I applied on the first day apps were posted as did many others. It was an interesting evening. My parents and I were in a hotel room in TN. And the internet SUCKED! The Epresentation did not want to load and so it took like 2 hrs! So then I went to go and do the online interview and it would not let me. So i FREAKED and there was a number to call some company who did it so i called them the next day on the way to a wake. Thats why we went down there for a wake and funeral. But back to my story. So I called them and they said that it was a problem on Disney's end. So I figure the worst that they dont want me or something! So I call them and got a voice mail so I left a message and they called me back but the phone never rang. So then I get a voice mail. SO then I call them back and get ahold of someone. And the guy thought I was just having technical issues. So then he asked for my name and social and it turned out that I didnt have to do it because it had been less than 6 months. So then we scheduled the phone interview for Monday the 23rd because I was not going to be home until sunday night so it was set for Monday the 23rd of August.
So my dad gets home from work at 3 everyday so I say to him when he gets home if he could please be quiet till im off the phone. He says sure. My interview was scheduled for 3:30. So around 3:15 I turned the TV off and got on the computer and talked to some friends. and then it was 3:30, and nothing. So I start to worry thinking oh no they dont have the right number!! But like 2 min later my phone started to ring. I look at it while it is ringing and im just staring at the blocked number. So I finally answer it. And I talked to my interviewer for like 27min. She said it would be 3-6 weeks but it shouldnt be more than 3 weeks. So we hung up and I go to tell my dad that he can mow the lawn now and he is in bed sleeping with his work clothes still on including his boots.
So now its been 10 days since my interview. And the longer I wait the more anxious I get. I have already picked out my bedding and I really want to know so I can go shopping especially with college and summer clearance!
Thats all for now. Im sure there will be more to come!
