Money Money Money!

Hey Allie,
I am just finishing University after 5 years(took me a little long cause I switched programs) So this was a bit of an easier decision for me. I love Disney and was looking for a new adventure. This just make a lot of sence to me. It is a way for me to learn something new, earn enough money to get by, have an adventure and meet a lot of new people. You really do have lots of time to decide, the application process seems to take from 9 months to a year to get through but there are people up to the age of 30 doing it. I say go for it! But I am a little biased.
Leigh ;D

Hey for all of you in school, or just finishing where did you go. Especially Canadians and Brits (because I don't think I'll know any from other countries) but hey any one else too! I always like to hear about other peoples school experiences! Never been to any other country but the US, so maybe this will further enlighten me I go to Queen's University in Kingston

 

Hi there Allie!!

My name is Robyn, i am 20 years old, and i am just finishing up my 2 year diploma program at Douglas College in Hotel and Restaurant management and i am really excited about Florida. This past summer i got a job through my program at 5 star resort called the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. i had an absolute blast there and i imagine it will be similar down south. Really hope you will decide to come...i think you will be thanking yourself if you do

 

Totally agree ;D

 

Hey Robyn! Is thast in BC? Hte Jasper Fairmount Resort? My western Canada geography skills are fairly lacking! Where is DOuglas College? Man I am embarassed I know where nothing is, not even in my own country! Where are you from?

 

Hey Allie,
I'm just finishing my first year of college, not taking any specific degree because Disney has been my focus this year I live close to Vancouver, B.C. going to Florida June 21st to work in Merch. I don't expect to have any money whatsoever by the time my contract is done, i mean, really a discount on Disney merchandise i'm going to be spending all the little "savings" i would be able to have It's a great opportunity and i highly recommend it (mind you i think we all would seeing that we're doing it) Good luck with whatever you choose!

Hey Lisa! BC eh? I want to go out west so badly. Everyone who I know who has gone there never wants to leave. Which is why on the other hand I am afraid to go because I may never come back. I have discovered I like adventure but am always one to end up back home at the end of the day! Thats so exciting you are going to Disney.... Thats what I feel like is that I would go to Disney see all these discounts and just go crazy? Which is why maybe going between university might be better, but than I'll get out of the "school mode" as I like to call it...decisions decisions!

 

Hi Allie!!

I live in Vancouver B.C, Canada and Douglas College is in a suburb of Vancouver called Coquitlam. Haha and yeah you were close by saying that the Jasper Park Lodge is in BC...it is actually in Alberta which is right beside BC. and no worries about your geography...mine are just as bad with the european countries...for the longest time i thought that Amsterdam was in Germany and that Heineken was a german beer. Boy was i wrong!!!

Whereabouts are you from?

 

Hi Allie,
I'm finishing off my degree at University of Edinburgh in the UK. I've heard of Queens Edinburgh uni does an exchange programme with your school. One of my workmates went there for the year and loved it

Hey I am just finishing up my last year at the University of Windsor(Canada) and I majored in Drama. After working at Disney I want to go back and do hotel managment. School never ends.....

@Robyn- I have actually heard of that suburb for some reason. Not sure why! I am from Kingston, Ontario, which is where Queens (my school is) I am one of the many Kingstonians who decides to stay in Kingston. However, I went to Ottawa for two years of boarding school and my first year of uni was at Dalhousie in Halifax, NS so I have been around the block!

@Marie I have heard of that school. All the uni's in Great Britain sound so majestic! I have a friend who is living in Englang right now and loving it. One of the many things on my list of things to do!

@Leigh I know where Windsor is!!! I have never been there, but my bro goes there for basketball tournaments. Its quite far from here! I know Windsor is a popular choice for Law school for ontario kids since its one of few! Where are you from (hometown)

 

My hometown is Welland.... No one really know where that is though so near Niagara falls

 

I know where Welland is. I played the Welland Warriers in basketball all the time. So how's that for geography skills?

 

That's Awosme! No One knows where Welland is! Way to go!

 

Sweetness Allie!!!

Sorry but for whatever reason i thought you were from the UK...Man i feel like an idiot...Oh well...yeah i have been all over too. Did a road trip of the maratimes about 5 years ago and loved it out there...Nova Scotia is absolutely amazing...and i have driven across Canada twice. There is a lotta land out there. When do you leave again?

 

@Robyn
Oh no I have been caught! Actually (as mentioned before, I swear) I do not have a leaving date...I actually haven't even applied yet. I posted in here cause I wanted to see what the accepted people knew about the money situation (since that is a concern of mine) - thus the post title. I'd love to be leaving in September, but hey that's wishful thinking. If I go I will apply to leave after university which will be 3 years from now, since I am taking a bit longer to finish my degree..tres lame! So i'll just keep dreaming til then!
When do you leave?

 

Allie thats so cool youve heard of my uni!
Wow 3 years is such a long time to wait - and i thought waiting till june (since i found out last december) was a long time! Though i supose u can apply in two years. Best of luck with everything.
