I know where all of my managers are. Most still go by every now and then. All of them are still at Epcot. I thought you might not have been back since you finished your program even though I would die if I waited that long.

Also tell Craig (Tatooine) that he needs to e-mail me. :D


Yo, I think my friend may know you. He did internship Spring 2000 and worked Merch in MGM. He was in Tower of Terror and RnR. My sis and him are recruiters for Minnesota and I'm going to do this internship next spring (2003). He is applying for the advanced internship. His name is Jon Halvorsen from Minnesota. Do you know him?

i too might go back down this summer if i don't get an internship in washington, d.c. like i want. of course, i'd only work for a couple weeks, but i'm still excited to do it.

i honestly miss florida so much. coming to this board doesn't help me get over it any faster either. :cool:

I'm looking at going back down this summer for the summer program. I couldn't afford it to try and find a place to stay. Housing doesn't have any spots for seasonal workers in the summer.

I don't know what I would do without this board.

Hey everyone!

I did the program in the spring of 2000. I was a custodial host in Future World Center.

I now am the campus Rep for Towson University in Baltimore MD

I go down every winter break to work for 2 weeks and to enjoy the parks on New Years.

I know where four of my 5 managers are.

If you want to read up on my collegeprogam or to see if we know some of the same people go here: www.geocities.com/gocrispy_o

Hey...Yeah. The name sounds familiar. I was, technically, zoned in Muppet Courtyard but I spent a lot of time in Hollywood Hills...The name does sound familiar though. I'm sure I probably worked with him once or twice. The only places I worked in Hollywood Hills were Coaster Photo & Fansatmic! but those were the places many CP's ended up at. Do you know if he keeps in contact with any other CP's from that area? TTFN.

Hmmm...The name sounds familiar. I think I only had 10-12 shifts in Coaster Photo total (that and 2-3 dozen Fantasmic! shifts. I LOVED working there.)

I loved my CP experience, I was an advanced intern in the Animal Programs Department. I was an Animal Presenter at DAK. I was there Spring 01 and was one of the first residents of Chattam Square. I am going to do another advanced internship down there when I graduate and hopefully stay with the company. The next internship I do will be the Animal Behavior one (Hopefully!!!!!!!!!)

ah chatham how i missed thee. Actually i had horrible experiences in chatham. I was there for 2 weeks in January 2001 and they were still building the building next to mine so i was woke up at 4 every day with a jack hammer. I would love to go back now that it's done, but now i keep winding up in good ol VW

no one better knock vista. you have to admit that the set-up at vista (buildings situated around ponds/green spaces) is better than that at chatham (we live in one huge parking lot!).

I lived at Chatham during my CP. When I went back at Christmas as a seasonal, I was at Vista.

I loved Chatham as far as living area. The apartments are so much better. Vista was too small with low ceilings and BAD CABLE. Chatham gets like 20 more channels. Chatham is pretty bad as far as living on pavement. Vista does have better scenery. It is much louder from traffic than Chatham is.

Over at http://www.disneyalumni.com/login.asp, there has been a big debate about the rules.

Apparently starting with the new groups that arrived in January, apartments are either 21+ or under 21. Also no big congretations and parties and underage drinking. They said that Chatham is deader than usual and Vista is just the same.

Well I was in Building 9 at Vista Way. And I loved my appartment and my roomates, but that pond was almost bone dry while I was there in 2000.

The Commons!!!

hehehe... sorry guys... the "internationals" had the pleasure of staying in The Commons.... it was awesome! Not comparable to VW at all...! sorry...

The apartments were so pretty and spacious, with laundry machines inside each of them! I loooooved my apartment at building 28. (2816). My group of 80 ambassadors was the first one to move into the whole building, so we loved our neighborhood. We knew everyone in the buidling, so there was always something going on at the stairs. It didn´t really matter if the clubhose was that far! We had our own privacy and a backyard for parties and even "pool parties" facing I-4! lol :lol: ;)
