For Fall 2009, program information and interviews will begin the last few weeks of January and/or first few weeks of February 2009. Summer programs recently have been limited to alumni, but if offered, they'll be posted at some point in the spring.
You can view the current season's E-Presentation and other general information currently available on wdwcollegeprogram.com right now, but specific information for the season(s) you mentioned won't be available for some while.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick reponses!
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to go the e-presentation route because they don't come to my school (or didn't this past year), but there's a chance I can catch the presentation at another school that's in reasonable distance I guess. We'll see when the time comes.

How does the presentation work?? I don't think there are any Disney ppl coming to my college anytime soon and I want to know what to do in the future when I go.

The E-Presentation is pretty simple. You watch a video online, then send in the application. You also call to set up an interview. And that's it.

When you get to check-in, they will ask you what size/complex you want. They will try to grant that. I have been lucky, and gotten my choice for each of my 4 CPs so far.

Do guys and girl have different areas to live in or is it a mixing pot??
I'm hoping different areas so the girls and guys aren't sleeping in the same rooms.

Guys and girls live in the same buildings. It's just the apartments that are same-gender. So girls live with girls, and guys live with guys.

Thats good :lol: and so I move on to more annoying questions.
What size are the beds and draws?
Do they supply you with toilet paper or do you buy your own after the first role?
Cleaning supplies, are they given to you or do you buy them yourself?
I'll take a break and let you answer those.

Beds are twin beds. For drawers, there is a dresser with 6 drawers per bedroom (so 3 each).
You have to buy your own toilet paper (same for cleaning supplies).

Do they supply you with a vaccum cleaner?
Do you bring your own pillow along with the bedding supplies?
I'm trying to think of very good questions so I don't sound stupid lol:ROFLOL:

Aww, you don't sound stupid!
Yes, there are vaccum cleaners at the clubhouse that you can borrow.
You will need to bring your own bedding.

Aw thanks
Wheres the best and easiest place to shop for food and supplies at without a car, cause I figure why not use the bus systems and save money lol.
I read there are certain black out dates when you can go in the parks for free, do you know any details about this?
I also heard you can bring family into the park for free, is this true?

Well, I have never had a car while on the CP. I always go to Walmart for shopping (and the buses go there). If you need something in a hurry, there is a Walgreens near Vista.
The black-out dates are for the Maingate (the pass you use to get friends/family in). I don't believe the ID (that gets just you in) is blacked out.
Yes, it is true. You can get up to 3 people into the parks on 6 different occassions.
My plan with doing the college program now is to apply for a professional internship with Disney Imagineering or at least some engineering spot at Disney after my Junior or Senior year. Do you think do you think that the college program is a good place to start? or is it even worth it in my case?

Which is the best housing to pick from??
How much of a discount do you get on Merch?
So you just show them an id they give you and you get into any of the parks?
Can you do different parks on the same day?
Sorry I didn't respond till now, was watching a vid on youtube lol.
