Not trying to start a huge argument or debate here...but am I the only "alumni" that feels the Alumni section doesn't live up to it's description? "The place for Alumni to chat and reminisce!".... it seems like it's a lot of question-asking from new recruits...and too often threads get out of control that they'd be better off in the "General" section as opposed to this one... Or threads get into conversations between only two people, and the threads lose their meaning and topic...they get too sidetracked. If two people want a conversation, then PM each other, email, or get onto live chat. It's frustrating. This is just an observation.....and my intention is not to start a fight...but it is a little disappointing, that's all.
;D completely with you and hold the same viewpoints..... just i wasnt able to put it as diplomatically (if thats the word) as you have sarah jane!!! nice one!!!! guess it worked cos a thread has been moved, woulda moved it meself but not a mod anymore, cos mods for this board are not around often????? well, heres to new topics about our time in disney..... Laura xxxxx
Hey guys Sorry about that! I'm on here a fair amount, but only a few minutes at a time, so I don't have time to read that many threads. If there's ever anything you think should be moved, pm or email me and I'll do it next time I'm on! Charlotte x
sorry charlotte, totally didnt mean u wen i said that, was meaning the 2 mods that are down on this board as alumni mods...... cheers hun laura xxxxxxxx
Hey im not an alumni but i agree with what your saying, this section is for your guys to like it says catch up. Like you said SarahJane i dont want to start a debate or make it look like im being a bitch but i kinda agree with your sayin. xXx
charlotte there are a few posts on this board that do need to be moved tho.... several by poster called winnie....... "trips outside florida" "how to get to disney" etc........dont know if u could move them as they are the sorts of things that new people to the boards will look for under FAQ's and applicants so will be helpful for them to be in the right place, there are some others but cant rememebr them rite this sec thanks xx
oh yeh i remember there another person who posts called melisng all of those posts really dont belong here so need to be moved
;D hey yeah defo understand..but sumtimes others dont understand.....as in a few months i will be part of the alumni...so i want to reminisce ;D ......... xxx
Thanks everyone...I'm glad no one flipped out on me! LOL! Hey another thing (but this is beyond anyone's control!) is that I seem to be the "oldest" alumni here!! I'm a 97-98 'grad'....anyone as far back as that? Or further? LOL!
I'm a 2001-2002 graduate which is not as far back as you but now seems like a lifetime ago after seeing all these new people on here excited about starting their Disney adventure! It was 3 years the other day since my last working day at Epcot and it still feels like yesterday!!! I didn't totally lose the Disney thing though as I went to work on the Disney Wonder for a year after Epcot but now I'm back in sunny Scotland and still missing it all like crazy! But this site's great for reminiscing!!!! We had a UK Merch (+ a couple of F&B!) reunion the other week in Brighton and it was fantastic to see everyone again and talk about the good old days! Keep posting on the alumini section, it's great to read everyone's tales of the Commons and Epcot!!! Take care, Laura. xxx P.S. As I said I'm not as far back as you but I did work with an English girl on the ship who worked at Epcot in the 90's not sure exactly when though. Her name was Rachael Hillman, she did UK F&B and then the Millennium Viillage too. ;D
Sorry Sarah jane, I'm still a relatively newbie alumni myself. Got back last august. :'( Laura, where abouts in Scotland are you? I'm in Glasgow. Ona x
Sarahjane and the rest of you are right. If you didnt bring this up, I would have! The alumni section is for alumnies! All newbies out there can ask for stuff in the other sections.. and I'm sure many of us are happy to answer questions there!
I'm in a wee place called Larkhall about 20 minutes from Glasgow. Near Motherwell and Hamilton! Most people know it for being full of Rangers supporters!!! What Uni are you at? I went to Strathclyde before my Disney experiences!!! Laura. xxx
agree with you We as newbie just wanna seek professional advice from those who have been there. We know that you are EXPERt in all those things. We just wanna seek your PROFESSIOBNAL advice. Sarah has been very helpful. She has been kindly answering my Qs. Ona is nice too. She has given me useful advice. Julia has been very helpful too. All of their advice are VERY USEFUL. Thanks a million. AND WHILST WE UNDERSTAND THIS MELISNG, THESE ALUMNI BOARDS ARE NOT FOR TOPICS SUCH AS "WAT CAN I DO WITH MY DAYS OFF?" AND TALKING ABOUT SHOPPING TRIPS AND HOW MUCH MONEY YOU WILL EARN, THATS WAT THE APPLICANT ADVICE PAGES ARE FOR. GO AHEAD AND ASK YOUR QUESTIONS, JUST DO IT IN THE APPLICANT DISCUSSION PAGES, COS MOST ALUMNI DONT WANNA BE SIFTING THRU STUFF THAT ISNT RELEVANT TO ALUMNI AND YES YOU ARE RIGHT,ALL OF US ALUMNI ARE REALLY HELPFUL AND NICE
I have to say sorry to all alumini. I don't know the rules. If I had known it, i would not had posted here. Sorry guys.
