Hi Guys ............. So I say waitlisted we hear back in 8 weeks if we get our dates...........!! Its good its not a NO........and more waiting commence!!!! Who's on board for this 8 week journey with me ! ? xxxxx
Hey! I got waitlisted too! don't know whether to be happy about that or not, but you're right at least it's not a no. Do we know how waitlisting has gone in the past? Like what the likelihood of us getting out to Disney will be? Congrats to everyone that got a date!!!! : )
Aw......... Yes from prev forums........It appears they clear the waitlisters and they mostly all go !! so keep positive and cheers to another 8 weeks of waiting hahaha xxx
Waitlister here :-[ I can't help feeling that this says 'you were okay, but you weren't quite good enough'. The word 'considered' in the email is making me really nervous.

Yea I feel the same the email makes it sound like we won't hear from them till august! I never understand how they don't know all the dates cuz surely they know everyone on the programmes leaving date? I read in another forum that if u get offered the place of someone who drops out u take on their visa so aren't out there for a full year?! That would suck! I'm gonna go read the other waitlist forums from last year to try and make me feel better about this! But at least it's not a no! Xx
Haha, well thank God it isn't that long! I think I might go crazy! I remember reading about a girl who was offered the chance to take someone else's place, so would only have been there for however many months there were left on the visa, and she declined because she wanted to go for a full year. She ended up getting the full year place. It was a massive gamble, but definitely paid off!
Don't be sad guys! They obviously really loved you all but they can't possibly give you all dates at the moment. I was waitlisted for 6 months the end of last year, beginning of this year. And we all made it off! It isn't a polite no or you werent good enough it must be really hard for Disney to choose between soo many good applicants. If they didn't think you were good enough then you wouldn't get waitlisted because most waitlisters if not all get off. I am going in December and I was given the latest date for waitlistee's. Trust me you must have all done amazing! Keep your head up you will get there. ;D ;D ;D
YAY sounds good. Yes from all prev everyone seems to off got off the wait list !! fingers crossed! weve only got two months till further notice............. ahhhhhh xxxxxx I just wanted a date.....its my 21st birthday this week boo!!xxxxxx

Thats what i thought so it is true everyone that goes on waitlist gets a place ? if they didnt want me it would be a no and some people did get that! i am just going to keep positive and save lots of money and hope that i get a date soon xxx --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
have requested you on facebook so you can add me into the group! is the other facebook group that was going on still about? i didn't ask anyone to add me into it because i didn't want to jinx myself haha. just got the second email from nick at yummy jobs seems a little more positive but i'm still not convinced!
That would be me!! ;D ;D Congratulations first of all to all you! This is very good news and as has already been mentioned, last time everyone (I think) got off the waitlist and got given places. They have a waitlist every year and every year most if not all people get off it eventually. It honestly means that Disney liked you and they are trying to find dates for you. I'm not going to pretend the waiting list doesn't suck because it does, and be prepared to have your phones stuck to you for a while, but it's honestly worth it in the end. I ended up getting a date in August, and everyone else in my arrival group is from the same interviews as me and got the acceptance straight away, so in actual fact I'm ending up waiting no longer than them overall! They all had their flights and hotels booked and all the plans made so it was so easy for me cos I just copied them. Hold on a bit longer. It's not over yet but I'm sure that when it is it will be good news. I hope you don't have to wait as long as we did (I found out a little sooner than a lot of people but it was still almost 6 months in total), but the feeling when you get that email is worth it in the end. x
Congratulations everyone! Being waitlisted is really amazing and I have no doubt you'll all be off the list in no time, particularly since it seems they've only given a few people dates this time so there's loads of space - they'll just be waiting until a little bit closer to the time to make sure that they know how many people they need. I applied last time and got a date but don't go until Sept and I know LOADS of watlisters who are either already there or are going before me (Vicky is one of them) so you may end up having a shorter wait than lots of people who got dates straight off. Basically what I'm saying is, definitely don't feel disheartened because you've done amazingly and Disney clearly thought you were great. In the grand scheme of things, a few more months of waiting is nothing in comparison to the amazing time when you actually get out there!! Congratulations again xxx
