I know eh! Pretty epic ... can't wait for applications to open so I can apply and get the ball rolling!

 

I need to start my cover letter. It's just sooo hard to start.

 

Urgh, I know what you mean. I keep thinking about it and I'm like.. "Hmm.. how should I write this?" haha!

Anyways, good luck - I'm sure your cover letter will be awesome.

 

whooooo just got a brainwave for her soon to be spectacular cover letter??

i just really hope we can all get through, it'll be an amazing experience!! the more i read blogs, forums, etc the more excited/nervous i get! ahhhh :-[

good luck everyone with your future writing endeavors!

 

Awesome! Yay for brainwaves!

So the big shiny red button has now appeared on the yummy jobs website.. needless to say my official application is going in either tonight or tomorrow!

For all those who have already applied or are going to, good luck! I know we won't hear for a while, but keep me updated and hopefully it's all good news!

 

Hey on the yummy jobs website they didn't have a place for my cover letter... I just filled the rest of it out like my whole account/profile. and atttached my resume where applicable.

 

Also on the Yummy Jobs website, do I put my education as degree? Because I'm starting it in September so by the time applications close I'll be doing it but at the moment I've just finished my A levels...

 

Other... because you don't have the defree yet...

 

Hi guys!!

My name is Olivia and I just applied for the WDW ICP 2011

It's my second time around, I applied for 2010 and got as far as the face-to-face interview, but didn't make it to Florida this summer. Now I'm back and hoping this will be my year, since it's my last chance as I'm a third year. It'll be worth missing graduation for if I get it!

So happy to find a place where I can talk to fellow applicants, I hope we make it to the place where dreams come true

xxx

 

Yeah, I'd recommend saying "degree" disneyspike (if you already haven't). Even though you don't already have the degree, that's what you're studying for and I'm sure they'll know that based on your resume. Sorry I never got back to you via facebook, it never showed that I got a new message on my phone and that's the only place I check it! .. weird.

Olivia, that's awesome that you found this website! Where are you from/what roles are you hoping to get? Good luck, I hope you get to go this time!

Anyways, a little update on mine if anyone cares to know: I haven't submitted it officially yet because I'm in the process of interviewing with another company that would definitely add some more experience to my resume. I'll hear sometime next week, and submit my application then!

 

Hi emmdee,

I'm from London, England and I'm hoping to get pretty much anything really! Last year I was hoping to be a Character Performer, which I would also be happy with this year, although having put a bit more thought into the roles I think I'd like to do something like working on the attractions or in one of the shops. In all honesty, I don't really care as long as I get to go! What about you, where are you from and what role are you hoping for?

Also if anyone has any questions about the telephone/face-to-face interview process I can be of service

 

Awesome, Olivia! I would love to be a character performer too (as I mentioned above).. Specifically face... I know I could be great friends with Alice if I can learn a proper British accent haha! I am just her height, and i look really young (a guy actually told me it was illegal for me to be working the other day, he told me he thought I was around 12-14.. I said no, I'll be 19 this year xD) not only that, but ive seen the movie a gajillion times and can definitely embody the character (i hope) But unfortunately that is really rare, so it's not going to be my first choice on the application. My first choice (although its my second) will be merch because I have the most experience in that and it would still be awesome to work there! But I would be just as happy with attractions, operations or pretty much any other role.

All that aside, that's awesome that you are from London! I've always wanted to go there, I live in Canada and unfortunately I've never had the chance.

 

Ps... Thanks for offering to answer our questions about the interviews! I'll let you know if I have any!

 

Yeah character performer would be amazing, I put that down as my first choice on the form at my interview, but I fear that might has lessened my chances, as they like to give you your first choice...hmmmm. Also I was told that they only let ICP employees play 'Head' characters, like Mickey and Minnie? I think it's just because you'd have to interact with the public if you played a face character...I'm not 100% sure if they're strict about the head/face character thing though. I do know that you have to do a little audition though.
Yeah London is great, although I've been working there full time this summer, only 4 weeks so far but the tube and Topshop Oxford Circus (which is where I work) can be a nightmare at times. So crowded! One of my best friends moved to Canada last summer, but she didn't like it very much sadly, she was in Toronto for the whole of last summer before coming home for University. That's a bummer you've never been to London! I hope you can come one day. Have you been to Disney World before?
