Yeah girl! FA 2015 here!

He is thinking Fall of 2019!

Fall 2017 is probably what I will end up doing or maybe Fall 2018. I definitely want to do fall, and I want the first year of college already under my belt.

Nice! Who knows, maybe we'll already go in with a friend?

What area are you hoping to work in?

Hey guys! I started this thread over 3 years ago in the beginning of my sophomore year of high school, and I had already been waiting since 8th grade to do the program. Now I'm a freshman in college and I just submitted my Fall Advantage 2013 application!

It really does seem like a long time to wait, but it'll be here before you know it!

I am a freshman in high school and it seems SO far off. I have been planning for a year and a half now! Ugh! Oh well, I know it will some sooner than I think.

What roles did you apply for?

Congratulations on applying. Your persistence will most likely pay off. Excellent goal to achieve, and I hope you do!

Have a Magical Day!

I don't really care about location, just as long as I'm in a park, but I would love Entertainment, Character Attendant, or maybe even Attractions, depending on which attraction I would get And call me crazy, but Costuming and BBB doesn't sound too bad!

I wish all the people in the Fall 2013 facebook group could see this post. First they were complaining about waiting for apps to come out. Next they were complaining about waiting for the phone interview. Now it's the people who are pending. Even as an alumni I'm getting kind of impatient waiting for a response, but this post is the ultimate in having patience and puts the application process in perspective. Congrats on finally applying and good luck!

I want to work in a park also. I mean, working in one of the hotels would be a fine job, but it wouldn't feel quite as magical, you know? I really want to work attractions, with Character Attendant, BBB and Merchandise in a close second. I heard costuming was basically just laundry, which I do enough without doing other people's

Being a dancer in the parade would be AMAZING, but I don't think I have enough dance skills, and even if I did, I'm pretty sure CPs can't get that as their role.

I totally get ya! Berlioz (she's somewhere around here) works in costuming (pretty sure she's a manager) and she said it's cool-there's two divisions of it, and one of them supplies the costumes for shows and works backstage and the other is the laundry side-unfortunately, I'd have to do both-_- See, unless I got to pick the attraction, I don't know if I would like it-obviously GMR would be great, but honestly I would kind of love Carousel of Progress or Peter Pan's Flight I'm a dancer/singer/actor type, that's why I really want to get into Entertainment, but I'll probably have to go seasonal or something for that, you're right. Entertainment roles for faces or dancers are extremely rare

Thank you so much! I'm in the Facebook group so I see all of those posts, and I'm pretty sure I've seen you in there!

Well, I just got ACCEPTED for Fall Advantage 2013 Merchandise! I can't even believe it!
All those years of waiting and preparing really paid off!

[leeg229]

5 hours after posting about being impatient I GOT ACCEPTED AGAIN!!!!!! I just can't find out my role or Fall or Fall Adv because there is a glitch with the link they sent.

[misscpround2]

[theworldneedscolor]

Congratulations to the both of you, that's amazing!
