I'm not sure if this is for every country, but the summer program is back for Canadians. Check out Cast-a-way.com at the event and interviews section... runs from June to August.
hey Pham-tastic....Im on the Summer program. ;D ;D ;D Im not canadian,from the Uk.,just wondering if u have applied for the program? ;D nice to meet ya. ;D
Hey Pham.... just a question. Do you have anymore info about the program? Is it to work in the Cdn pavilion? Would you still get to live in the commons, vista, chatham? I'm wondering because before I applied to to the IP, I applied to a 3 mth program at wdw in quick service a few years ago. It wasn't through Cast-A-Way. It was directly through Disney here in Canada. I was accepted, but the problem I had with it was that you had to find your own housing and transportation to and from work. So, I turned it down. Sandra
I was accepted to the 12 month program... and my faculty won't let me take a year off... The summer was just brought back to Canada recently. I talked to Eric at Cast-a-way and he said that the Toronto interviews are May 14th, the program starts June 6th until August 26th. People can work past the August date, but can't start any earlier. Housing is provided...I'm assuming it's at Vista Way or the Commons. The three types of positions are Quick Service Location (F+B), Merch, and Custodial. You won't be working at the Canadian Pavilion... The positions are located at all 4 theme parks. Same pay, I assume. I didn't ask how many positions they are filling... But the summer program is back! Eric said that they scrapped the summer program after 9/11, and this is it's first year back... for Canada I guess. Adam
wow this sounds so awsome! to work at any theme park!? i checked the cast-a-way site for more info but didn't see anything on there so i emailed eric. are there any other sites about this program?
I think I was wrong about where the housing will be... I talked to Nicola and she said housing is provided, furniture and pots and pans too... there are pools and tennis courts... except she mumbled something about it might not be at vista way or the commons? Don't quote me on that. But, I retract my earlier statement about where housing is located... I don't think there are any sites talking about this... I know that at wdwcareers.com they mention that some countries have summer type programs... Hey Tinkerbell, is your position limited to the UK pavillion or anywhere in the parks? and has there always been a summer program for the UK?
hey !!,no i am sure i am able to work in any park,as julie did ask which park i was interedted in working in! xxx
thats way cool the summer programme is back ;D, it now means we have something good to fill the long uni summers, without having to move back home can't wait to apply
