ACCEPTED


September 20th at 6:30am I checked my email while I was laying in bed, and guess what?!! This girl was accepted for Spring Advantage Quarter at Disney World for Merchandise. My first choice! :)

It was exactly a week from the time I interviewed to the time I heard back. I was beyond excited and grinning from ear to ear all day long. 

I'm so nervous and anxious to move all the way across the states but I know it will all be worth it.

My arrival date is April 8th! Can't wait to become a real life cast member for Disney.

VLOG #2


This was before the phone interview… Subscribe and ask questions if you would like! :)

Phone Interview… Round 2


Let me just start by saying…. THIS PHONE INTERVIEW WAS MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE I DID. 

Yes, it's true. My first interview wasn't very good now that I reflect back, but that's why you should always apply again! It gives you practice and you'll be older and wiser the second time around.

So, this is how my phone interview went.

I was dancing around the room to pass the time and to get my jitters out when I nearly had a heart attack as my phone started to ring and I fumbled to answer it, afraid that I hung up on my interviewer I said Helloooo!! (very enthusiastically, and out of breathe I might add). 

Hello this is Lynn from the Disney College Program, is this Paige?!

Yes it is! 

Is this a good time to speak?!

Yes, Yes it is!! (Smiling ear to ear like a complete goober)

The rest of the interview went swimmingly. This time, I talked for 30 minutes as opposed to the 10 minutes I spoke last year :/ oopsies…

She asked me about my previous work experience and where I would like to work in WDW and why. She also asked me a few situational questions like, "If you had an angry customer, what would you do?", "How would you expect a Disney Resort to look if you were a guest?", "What would you do if you had too much to handle while multi-tasking?" -- Questions like that.

I asked her about extending my program at the end and she explained the process to me. 

I was so excited about the whole interview. I feel more confident this time than I did last time. Fingers crossed I did well!!! 

Good Luck DisNerds.

Here we go again!


Here we go again, Lovelies!

Okay, just to update everyone on my Disney Adventure I wanted to let you know that I am applying for Spring Advantage Quarter at Walt Disney WORLD.

Wait… What?! I thought you wanted to work at DisneyLAND. 

Well, I do want to work at Disneyland but here's the thing…  I only have two terms left of college before I graduate and my college is on a quarter system which means that my terms don't match up with Disneyland's semester system. My only option for Spring 2013 would be to apply to the Walt Disney World College Program. I weighed my options and decided that I don't want to sit around and wait even longer after I graduate to do the Disney College Program so I'm doing DWorld and then I want to extend to Disneyland if I can! Or just keep networking with Disney as a company.

I'm excited and I'm nervous and I hope to goodness that I get accepted this time around!

I just sent in my application and I'm waiting for the email that lets me take the WBI :)

If you have any questions, let me know below!
