Hello My name's Ashleigh! I am not even eligible for the international programme yet.. for a good number of years! I am 14 and last year I was at Disney world ( I go every year) and an English person working in the UK pavilion talked to me, and I told her I was extremely passionate about roller coasters and theme parks etc. She told me about the programme and a year later, I'm still researching about it! I'm not a newbie to forums with "grown-ups" in them . I will not flood your boards with ridiculous spam topics (this one aside!). I wrote to Yummy Jobs asking a few questions.. four years in advance! I just thought I'd give you a heads up. Sorry if theres an introduction forum for new members, but I didn't see it. I wont be posting often but I joined simply because I know I'll have a few questions in the future. Hello to you all
LOL cute, welll if ur this passionate about it. I dont see u getting rejected! 4 years! wow, just keep moaning too yummy jobs every month! Cos when ur 17 u might find urself able to get listed into a programe, cos u only have 2 be 18 on ur arrival date! So u could get offered a job on say feb but wont start untill september or u might get offered a job in january and not start till october, As long as ur 18 in october u are eligible! So just keep moaning lol! Its a great exprience one which u will find very helpful!
Hi! Welcome and good luck to you! 4 years must be a long time to wait when you are this eager to go, but at least you have plenty of time to prepare! As Jim MAn said, you should try to apply when you are 17. That way it won't be as long to wait, and you also have a better chance at getting the position/arrival date you want if you apply well in advance. Are you from England? Join the discussion here, it's fun while you are waiting May I also say, you do not type like the usual 14-year-old!
just keep up the dream.... the same thing happened to me... since 14 i had the dream of working as a cult rep @ epcot... and 6 years later here I am, as soon as I became 18 i started all the process and paperwork, and now I'm only 2 months before my arrival at disney, all I can tell you is that if you never forget your dream it will happen...
I thought I have to wait for a long time (5 weeks tops to see if I'm in or not) I couldn't imagine having to wait for 4 yars. Luckily I only found out about this programme when I was 17 despite having the dream to be a cast member for years, so I didn't have too long to wait even though it did feel like a long time.
seriously i am in almost the same boat 4 years for me but i am 16 ..... so plan ahead and never ever give up best of luck !!!!!!! ;D
aw good luck chick! u'll defo get in for sure when ur 18! i can see it happening huni, and believe me it will be worth the wait. I'm leaving in 3 weeks, i'm in uni right now, and that's how i found out all bout disney giving jobs to people this young. i'm glad i went to uni for that! hahahah and if it's ur dream, then go for it, reach the stars. It's my dream, and i made it. i was lucky in that this was the first placement job i went for for my placement year at uni, and i got it, so i didn't have to go through loadsa interviews for office jobs! lol well, keep us informed petal and good luck xo
Thanks for all your kind replies I went on holiday to Florida this year and when we went to EPCOT, I talked to alot of the cast members in the UK pavillion, so now I'm even more determined ^-^ Goodluck to all those leaving soon xx
