F2F interview 19th of february

don't get me started on musicals. I LOVE them. It's a family thing...

no, haven't heard but didn't expect to over the weekend. It would probably be better for my degree for it to be the friday...but then I'd have wasted money on the Germany trip and my friends would be a bit annoyed...
will have to see what they say...

x x

 

;D hello everyone I am new to the site, I also have my interview on the 19th very excited and nervous at the same time, cant wait to meet you all xxx

 

Heya Tink84!!

Welcome to the forum and well done for getting an interview it's so exciting isn't it lol!!! I'm Lucy btw!! Where abouts are you comming from for the interview?

Katlou26: I guess you have to see what they say but if they say you have to come Friday i hope you come, i know it's a bummer wasting money on a trip but this is like a once in a life time opertunity!!!

 

lol well u cud do the mon interview so its not a missed opportunity, ther bound to hav a few days planned for f2f like ther is the 2 we al no about but mayb they wont find wot ther lookin 4 at the interviews n hav another session u never kno lol tho hopin we al get in.

 

yeah lucy, I'll definitely be there. There's no way I won't be! Not going to pass up the biggest opportunity of my life! x x

 

Definitely up for meeting on the day and having starbucks and general fun london times while waiting for interviews!
Im going to come down the night before from lancaster, but im hopefully staying in Stevenage with my auntie and then getting the train into london on the day. Im quite worried about getting the tube though, Ive never been on it on my own before. and i dont really know london, like, at all!
What else is in the area? Is the place difficult to find?

 

Hey SophiAmelia

I have never been to the interview place but it is by the imax i do know which means if you get the train into london waterloo you don't even need to get the underground it's walking distance, you'll be fine as long as you leave yourself enough time



Ooooo i wonder who we will be having our interview with because we have it in pairs right, i wonder if they ask both of us the same question of different once it would suck if your going second all the time and the person your with says everything you were going to say lol!!!

 

So excited guys, I may also do the 'night before' thing, catch a show or something as it's my birthday on 17th, maybe I could celebrate a few days late!
We must make a plan to meet up and be tourists...bring some comfortable shoes!

 

Hey! Have done my dissertation on the tube, and sat on it for a lot of last summer. It's really easy to use and not too scary. There are signs everywhere so you won't get lost. If you're coming from stevenage you're likely to be going to kings x/ st pancras- they've just opened their new tube access which is really easy to find, you just have to walk for miles to get to the platforms- unless you know the short cuts! x

 

Tube is easy peasy...just at that time in the morning it is PACKED!
The restaurant is so super easy to find from waterloo Promise!! Maybe we should all arrange to meet at waterloo before hand?! and we'll all recognise each other. Its so weird, i'd never seen pictures of the 5 people i met before my icp interview, but i walked straight up to this girl who looked a little lost and i just knew and now shes one of my besties .

On the musicals thing...i went to see Avenue Q yesterday and i recommend it to EVERYONE. Its fabulous!! I laughed so much my sides hurt!! I love wicked too! <3 I want to be Elphaba...one day...one day. hahaa.

Has everyone had a nice weekend? Hope so! ;D xx

 

Thanks for the tube advice Belle and Katlou, I'm sure itll be fine! I do need to book trains and sort everything out though. is it best to buy tube tickets before i go do you think? How does that work, do you get a pass for the day, or just for the specific place that you want to go?
I think it would be nice to meet at Waterloo! Would be good to meet people before actually getting there.

Im jealous of all the musicals you guys have seen! Ive never heard of Avenue Q though. The only thing like that ive ever gone to see is Dirty Dancing, and i dont think that really counts as a musical. it was still really good though! Lucy, phantom of the opera is my favorite film, and i would LOVE to see it!! ive heard its awesome.

 

Avenue Q is amazing! I saw it in New York last summer and just loved it. I really want to see Legally Blond now, oh and Wicked! I wish more of these companies would tour.

I'd love to meet up before hand. Just tell me when and where

 

I saw Avenue Q on new years eve it was amazing i love the song....Theres a fin fin line....AWWW....Meeting up would be amazing i'm probaly going to get into waterloo around 9:00 maybe we should all meet by a ceratin shop of coffie shop in waterloo? We should know each other as we'll all be smart and probably looking quite nervous/excited lol!!!


P.S and SophiAmelia phanotm is amazing i saw it last christmas and i could see it again and again lol!! The film is actually very true to the stage show!!

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

We definately should meet at waterloo, that would be brilliant!
I'm so glad I found this site, I feel like I've made friends already
We're in February now guys, sooo close! Just about to sort my train tickets out, I've got to get up sooo early if i don't stay in London the night before! Argh!
Just a quick question...what prompted everyone to apply for this programme, other than the obvious choice of working for Disney?

You can either get an oyster card (which is good if you know you'll be going to London at some point in the future). They cost £3 to buy and then you put money on it and can travel around, and it will never charge you more than a day travel card, and is better if you don't make that many journeys.

Or you can get a day travel card- they're about £6 depending on which zones you use.

You can get tickets before hand if you get them with your rail ticket but they might not be as flexible. Probably the best thing to do is get them at the ticket hall of the tube station- the new one at kings x is really big so hopefully you shouldn't have to wait too long!

Hope that helps a little!

As for musicals, I think avenue q is brilliant. Could listen to the soundtrack all day! Saw Billy Elliott over xmas which was also good. Think my fave is defo Wicked through and I loved Mary Poppins...really want to see Jersey Boys- my sis bought the Ryan Molloy CD with all the Franki Valli songs on it and it's amazing!!! x x x

p.s I have to tell you all about a funny thing that just happened. My boss calls us all in to a meeting (me and several builders, i work in construction) and hands us all a sheet of paper that claims our office has the highest internet usage in the region...the most frequently visited websites being amazon.co.uk, ebay.co.uk, google.com and some website called wdwip.com. Everyone was like, wdwip.com? What is that? I just sat there like....hmm yeah, that would be me..whoops! Here begins the questioning...lol!

 

Have been studying for too long and want to bridge the gap between uni and a career, learn some new skills, work abroad!!! Oh and I'm up for meeting at waterloo too! x x
