2009 CRPs

Email Kristen@yummyjobs.com

I pretty sure thats her email address..She asked if we wanted to be put on a list and that list would then get emailed to everyone who is starting around the same time as you..

I can't really remember if september was on the list though? Maybe they'll send yours out at a later date...

 

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the info anyway, might contact her anyway

 

What does it feel like to be off the wait list?

Although I was only on it for 5 hours! It was still such a feeling of relief when I got "the call"..

I didn't know what to do really! Just started jumping up and down! haha..

 

I didnt get the email about making new friends or about visas but i did get the pack yest bout crb and stuff xxx

 

I didn't get the email either - I don't start til August though

 

It was wierd cos I never thought they'd call me! Range of emotions you might say. But now, excited!

 

They sent the email to everyone going between may and late July

 

I still don't really think its kicked in yet for me too be honest..Guess its coz I still have my exams to pass yet!

Just read the email..It says its for the May-July 28th start dates! So I guess you all won't get the email till later...

Beat me to it by 50 seconds! haha..

 

Ah that's cool, something more to look forward to ;D I've met a few people from my date, anyway, and have booked my plane seat next to the wonderful Sarah ;D

 

Yep, because your keeping busy and only just been accepted, is the reason it hasn't sunk in.

I'm kind of just sitting on my hands now waiting to go.lol

 

It hasn't sunk in for me either... I don't think it will til I go under that Disneyworld arch for the first time ever ;D Or til I have to say Bye to my family for a year... either one lol!

 

Yeah, if coming on here and facebook when I should be proof reading my dissertation is keeping busy, then fair enough, haha..

11 weeks today we'll be there man!

 

Yep, 11 weeks is all it is and it's going to fly by. seems like nothing since i was accepted back in November

 

Seems like nothing since I was accepted, erm..a week ago I think it was? Maybes it was 2 weeks ago now!

Can't wait for uni to be over with! Only got 3 weeks left!

 

A few questions who are already there and doing the program

1. How many hours are you roughly doing a week?

2. How much is your food shopping roughly coming to?

3. what kind of times/ hours are the shifts? Is like opening till 6pm and then 6pm till close?

4. How frequent are the buses to Walmart and other shopping places?

5. Do you earn enough money to enjoy going out and eating out?

6. Have Disney mentioned the Volunteer program yet? What have the said?

 

Lee dont worry it will all be ok!
I thought i worried alot!
Sort him out JP on the flight
a few Vodkas to stop him fretting!

 

Just wondering so i can get an idea on money ect.

 

yeah true it'd be useful to know! the good thing is that they take the accommodation fees from our wages so we don't have to worry about paying for them!

 

I can answer questions 2, 4 and 6..As I've already been there before..

2. That completely depends what you buy...Like I hardly ever used to spend any money on food if I'm honest..You tend to be having that much fun, you just grab a quick snack all the time, as there isn't really enough time in the day! If you get me..But as an honest budget, I'd say about $40 a week..And that includes eating out and food at work and everything..You've gotta remember, eating out in america is so so cheap..I even wonder to this day whether its cheaper to eat out than it is bothering to waste your time cooking a meal!

4. The buses used to come like once an hour if I remember rightly..But I'm hoping they may have improved that schedule, as it wasn't good enough and the buses used to be too busy!

6. Which volunteer thing do you mean? Make a wish? If so, you can just apply when you get there and they'll find a slot for you to do it..

As for the other questions..I don't really think it matters that much how much you take..You've just gotta take what you can afford really..I no people who've gone over with $200 and been able to survive..You normally get paid your second week there..So about $400-$500 would be ideal I guess..But anymore is a bonus..

 

cheers me ol mucka, sounds good

Another question. ;D

Disney give you a 6-8 hours shift a day. Do they give you like a lunch break or afternoon break or something? How long do you get?
