wait listed... so did they only hire like 2 people? Im glad they made me quit my job with DCL to do this interview...
Yeah, I wonder how many got hired too.... It's putting me on edge! I'll be checking my email a thousand times a day now, as if it wasn't bad enough already
to anyone who hasn't already, you should join this group http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/home.php?sk=group_155952574459391&ap=1 and by my count there are about 20 of us on the wait list, which seems extreme!
Let the waitlisters join forces! Steffie: It just clicked! I used to head peer counselors a million years ago.
Steffie: My name's Allison Cole. I used to head it with Stacey back when I was in grade 12, I think you were in grade 10. Anyway! I was so sure I recognized your name. And I'm sure most of us waitlisted will make it : )! Or maybe I'm just a crazy optimist.
I've only seen a date in August and 2 dates in September...and soo many waitlisted. And they told us they were recruiting for October - February. They probably just wanted to let people know where they stand while they sort out the rest of the starting dates. I think the majority of people who are waitlisted will get dates...
i remember you allison! thats so crazy! i ended up running peer counselors after you graduated! it's a small world, after all...
Am I right in thinking that no-one has got a date after 20th Sept? This is the lates date that has been given out for the UK applicants aswell- the rest of us on the waitlist have been told that we're being considered for Oct onwards and may here in about 5 weeks at the latest. It sounds as if they've waitlisted you guys so they can sort out those later dates. I'd take this as a really positive sign! Stay strong people, I've been on the list since October and I suspect the majority of you won't have to wait anywhere near as long as that! Btw to the person that asked, they could call you with a date any time from now until the date they specified as the end of the list. Good luck all- with a lot of luck some of us could get the same departure dates!
Stay strong guys! I know how all you waitlistees feel and you just want to know what's happening. I've been on the list since October too, and like Vicky said it seems like a coincidence that you haven't been given dates past the 20th September. It looks like Disney haven't forecast visitor numbers that far ahead, so it's likely that once they have they'll be in touch to let some of you know dates. We got told that they're going to be recruiting for October and November, with two departure dates each and if there's roughly about seven positions for each date and only about twenty of you on the list, there should be plenty of positions! Obviously, I'm only speculating for you guys but at least it's a little glimmer of hope! Stay strong! Everybody makes it off the list more often than not.
Thanks Vicky and Dandan. I'm trying not to get too anxious about waiting, easier said that done I know My birthday's in October, would be great to get a date then ;D Plus it won't be as hot as the summer I'd really love to be there for Halloween too
My e-mail said they would keep my information until September, which worries me a bit because when they said they were recruiting for October - February I asked if I could put my preferred start date in December. Eee. Good news for the rest of you, though, cause I bet that puts me somewhere on the bottom of the "opportunity" list. Steffie-- here's to hoping we both work together again!
I emailed Kristen and asked her what exactly the chances are of getting called. It sounds pretty positive! Greetings Many thanks for your email. This season Walt Disney World had very limited positions available right away, and are still awaiting further positions to arise. You did extremely well and that is why Walt Disney World has offered you an opportunity on this list so when further positions arise they are able to consider you. Definitely keep an eye on your eyes as last year we saw positions arise for many of the Opportunity List Participants. While I can not guarantee the exact results this year, we do anticipate further opportunities to arise at Walt Disney World! Also, if you obtain any further experience do let me know as I will add it to your file. But again, you were a great applicant it was just the limited roles but that could change in the next few months. I look forward to keeping you updated about the Opportunity list! All the best,
Hmm well that's good to know...thanks for the info. I always get so nervous emailing in questions LOL. But I know she must get tons! I just started a new job actually and it's serving so that's good for my F&B experience. I wonder if I should send an email telling her that... Ahh I dont know why I get so anxious about just sending an email haha.
Wait-listed. How fun. I was so sad lastnight when I read that email Fingers crossed I get in for the fall!!
