Hello Sir, great job reading all the pages. I read everything, which is very informative.
1. According to the Disney Look, "Intentional body alteration or modification for the purpose of achieving a visible, physical effect that disfigures, deforms or similarly detracts from a professional image is prohibited. Examples include... earlobe expansion." Looking forward to your next question if you are waiting until next year of 2013, you should be safe. Even so now you should be fine, as long as it is not completely visible. Yes, I have the Disney Look memorized but if you need the official link-- Here You Go.
2. Your two best resources are going to be the Disney Careers Culinary site and signing up for information on the Disney Culinary Program. In addition the Disney Programs Blog pretty much covers the major questions.
If you are looking for a May 2013 Arrival date you will want to apply for Fall 2013 Advantage as the first dates for that program begin in May. Spring Arrival dates are usually January-February-March. Let me know if you have any more questions Sir!
This is a little awkward. First, I'm a girl. Second, I was really looking for some first-hand experience with the B&P program. I am already familiar with the website. Thanks.
