Hi ya fellow Disney Lovers! I've started this new thread to get some information on the whole application timeline. From what I've read it seems like a long process! ;D I'm going to apply in Jan 2010 for the first time and was unsure of the whole process e.g the interview process and how long it all lasts. ??? If I were to apply in Jan 2010 when would I hear (roughly) whether my CV was successful or not, and then if successful, when would the phone interview be and following that, how long after is the face to face interview? And for the people who have been offered places, how long after your final interview have you had to wait before actually flying out to WDW? If I applied in Jan 2010 would I be lucky to get there by Jan 2011? So yeah I'm interested in hearing everybodies individual experiences within this application process, as I'm totally new to this whole thing. Thanks guys! 8)
Heyy there Kim !! This is my 1st time applying for Disney and so far its been quite a long application process! I applied late August on Yummy jobs by submitting my CV and filling in some details, then a few weeks later (roughly 2 or 3) I received an e-mail to say I had got through to the next stage (Phone interview) and that it would be within 4 weeks.. Soo 4 weeks went by and I had another e-mail asking me to select a time and date for my phone interview, which was again another week later. After the phone interview I was e-mailed roughly 2 weeks later to say I had got through to F2F (About a week ago now) and my interview is the 21st. Then you find out if you've got in like a week later, so as you can tell its a long process! I'm applying for June 2010 so I'm guessing if you apply January 2010 you will definately be there around about 2011 Thats just what I'm guessing tho hun !! Hope this has sorta helped I know its abit mumble jumble lol Tasha xx
Hey Tash, Just out of interest are you applying for the year long Cultural Rep program or the ICP summer program? Kim, I applied back in January and August for the Cultural Rep Program and I got through to the phone interview in my first application. I had the phone interview at the beginning of Feb, and found out a couple of weeks later that I was unsuccessful. Other candidates found out at the same time whether they were through to the face to face or not which was over 2 days at the end of March/Beginning of April. Then after that I think it was about another couple of weeks until people found out if they were successful/got on the wait list/ unsuccessful. So altogether it was about 4 months. Whereas with the August applications it was about 3 months, the August applications closed very early after opening due to a lot of applicants. So I don't know whether that is a factor within the process. The applications for January 2010 will be for start dates from about sept-dec 2010. So yeah you would be there by Jan 2011 I hope this is of use to you
Hi ya guys! Thanks for both of your answers, it has cleared quite a lot up! It seems that the process isn't quite as long as I thought it would be. I just wanted to know roughly how long I should expect to be waiting for the results. Well good luck to both of you! Perhaps we will meet in the Wonderland! ;D
