Program in General and Length:
You may have received another email from our team explaining that due to
the
popularity of the SUMMER ONLY program to our Alumni, we have held these
positions exclusively for WDW College Program Alumni for this up-coming
Summer 2002. I wanted to send you a personal email to let you know when
I
would be on your campus!
I am a campus representative for the College Program. This email is from my Disney recruiter. I received the same statement from WDW College Program as well. For non-alumni, you must choose from Spring (Jan. - May.), Spring Advantage (Jan. - Aug.), Fall (Aug. - Jan.), Fall Advantage (May - Jan.). These dates are approximations. If accepted you have the choice of your arrival and departure dates.
Check out wdwcollegeprogram.com for more information or PM me.
Hopper role:
Hoppers
In this role you may experience more than one working environment within any one day, week, or month. This means that you will either "hop" to different locations within the same line of business (for example, you might be a Quick-Service Food and Beverage hopper and work in a variety of restaurants), or you may be able to experience more than one role (for example, you may work in both merchandise and quick-service foods). If you enjoy change and are able to adapt to it well, then this could be a great fit for you. Some of the benefits of this role include the opportunity to network with a diverse group of leaders and teams as well as the opportunity to develop time-management skills.
This is taken from the CP website mentioned above. From talking with my recruiter, wdwcp officials, and the reading, a person is stationed at one park and will not go from park to park, but can work at different places in a certain park.
I have also been told that you will only be trained in one role now (food, merch, attractions).
Shadowing:
Shadowing is still an option. However, CP's are strongly encouraged to attend Career Insights before trying to shadow. In my experience, it was easier to shadow after attending a Career Insight.
Like I said, check out the website or private message me with any more questions.
