Will I have a good amount of time to spend in the parks while I'm down there doing the careers start program?

Yeah, it is awsome! Last year was my first Christmas in Disney, and it was wonderful. I loved going to the MVMCPs. But Christmas Day was so crowded. I have never seen the park so crowded, and I didn't get there til 7pm (I was at MK).
Oh i alwayz had this question during extra magic hours can cast members stay like if your off or is it just for resort guests? I can't wait to go I go there in two weeks.

Unfortunately it is just for resort guests. And it's 18 days for me!!
Are you doing the college program or the career start program?

Usually there is a program for people who have done the CP before. It is just for the summer (May-Aug).
that sounds like fun! So its what you do after you have done the career start program and the college program?

You usually can do your old role. But this summer, they are only doing custodial and QSFB unfortunately.

I have a question about the discounts on hotels.
My girlfriend will be visiting me for a weekend in October but I wont be booking the hotels until after I arrive (on august 13th), do you think it shouldnt be that difficult to get rooms in a hotel in Mid August? And are all hotels available for the 40-50% discount or just the value resorts?

No it shouldnt because all the schools will be in session then.

I would do the reservation ASAP. It is a first come, first serve. And it is for all the resorts. I stayed at the Contemporary.
Exactly what I said but with better explaining. lol!

You'd be surprised where you can use the Disney Discount. Once I was at Ron Jon's Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach and got 20% off there! It never hurts to ask when you're at the register.
Really I love that shop!
I leave for disney in two weeks. I'm so excited!! Any advice anyone can give me?

If you care about where you stay I suggest getting to check-in as early as possible.
