    I reckon it must be really likely otherwise there would be no point in waitlisting people in the first place!!!!

    i bet mentalists...eh i mean people with "better" stuff to do turn it down alot!

    I hope the chances of not getting it are extremely slim to impossible if they've told you you were "successful" ... but it's still hard to get the thought out of my head. I want this so bad ... and the sooner the better, I've already planned to put of Grad Studies for a year ... I don't wanna make it two. Just to be safe I'm still persuing Grad Studies until I know something concrete from Disney.

    I have a question ... who would be nutty enough to turn the opportunity down? Call me crazy, but this job has been my dream for the last 6 years ... I'll move planets if I have to.

    i know what you mean i wanted to do this since i was twelve!!!!!

    but iremember at my interview who just weren't that bothered just kinda "it'll be cool to go to florida but it's a pity i have to work for disney" i wanted to slap them...but i guess it shows not all people that apply will be 100%

    and peoples lives change quickly

    plus there are the terminations! (enough said)

    Yeah one thing I totally didn't expect was that the reality is, that for the majority of folks out there, it's not their dream job, they haven't wanted to work for Disney their whole lives, and they really wouldn't be seen dead wearing mouse ears. :-\

    Don't get me wrong, there are Disney Dorks ;) and you will find each other, but be prepared for folks who are there for the sun and who never even visit the Magic Kingdom. Ever. :eek:

    Hey Ana, I've wanted the job since I was 12 too!

    Mara, hang in there. I remember the feelings of changing my plans and panicking because I thought that I'd be putting things on hold for too long and that I'd miss registration for another college semester and be screwed without school or a job.
    But, they did call, promptly! I'm so sure you'll make it and make the most of it too.

    and theres many reasons to decline a offer, sometimes u get a better offer and ur date its too away to wait, or i dont know, i mean in the group of july in mexico theres a girl who is thinking about decline, i dont sure for what... but well she had her reasons, so the waiting list its ready and waiting for that call right??

    Thanks for the support guys! Ana used a word that pretty much describes me today... deflated.

    But I am noticing some different terms here Mara said she was told she was successful, I was told hired... maybe theres a difference, maybe not (maybe it just depends on who you got on the phone)... oh well hopefully it won't be long and I'll have a date.

    No worries Jorden, there are definitely people that will turn this down. Unfortunately my friend Amanda decided that it wasnt for her while we were in Montreal, and if she's offered a position she has decided not to take it. I absolutely believe in you, I was and still am certain that you're going to get it. Good luck and let me know as soon as you find out!!!

    Oh Nitsa, I didnt know you got it! Congratulations!

    Jorden, I wish there was something more I can do but just think happy thoughts and soon you'll be flying....down to Orlando!

    Ana, lol, I so know what you mean! I kept my hair really boring in the time up to my interview and now..it's purple, I had to do something exciting for my last couple months here!

    Yeah I was listening to my iPod and the Spalsh Mountain medely came on and I was going to skip it, but I didn't and it somehow helped bring me outta my funk a bit... oh well just a lot of waiting now lol.

    Thats about what I'm hoping... It'll work out because it'll let me focus my energies a bit more on my university work with out the distraction of going being there... I just don't want to wait a year, and I'm also a bit bummed out that pretty much everyone I met at the interviews is going in Aug/Sept so I'm pretty sure I won't be in their arrival group which would have been cool.

    ya thats true enough....well who knows something will probably come when you least expect it.....have you found out if anyone else you met got waitlisted or how many exactly they accepted and didnt?
