Hi everyone! I'm in a bit of a quandary at the moment and am having to decided between going off to uni or going to work at WDW for the year in the UK country of Epcot. However, I am clueless in how long the process is, when to apply and how much money to save?!?! COULD ANYONE PLEASE HELP IN ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS?? thank you
Heyy they are currently hiring for July onwards and the next set of applications open in June. You can check out the Yummy Jobs website here http://www.yummyjobs.com/opportunities/programmes/15/disneys-cultural-representative-program/ for more information If you're thinking of going to Uni this year, i would say do that and then maybe look into doing a gap year to do the CRP or you could do the ICP over the Summer next year
Hey so I had the same problem last year and decided to hold off uni and apply for CRP as a Jan 2012 applicant. Unfortunately i didnt get in and if I wanted to go to uni in Sept Ive missed this years applications anyway. So I think maybe of you think about which you want to do first?
I'd think carefully about what you want to do, but if you think you might want to go to uni I'd apply there, as you can always defer your entry by a year if you were successful for Disney. Hope that helps Also, bear in mind it is extremely competitive for the CRP - just look at how many people on here don't get it! And, if you are at uni you can apply for the ICP - the programme I did twice, and loved it. It isn't as long as the CRP but you can work in a lot more places and in a lot more roles xx
I'm in a similar position! But I've decided that it's now or never, and I'm going to take a gap year! Though I have the added problem of I'm not 18 til August :'( I hope that you're successful in whatever you decide! xxx
Hi everyone, thanks for replying! Yeah, I think I'm going to do the uni thing but if I get into disney then I may defer, is probably best option atm. With the summer in disney, I'd be worried I wouldn't be able to afford it on top of uni! Good luck to you all xxxxx
