I can't participate but I thought I'd pass this along...

I just got THIS email from Disney:


Dear Disney College Program Alumnus,
We have exciting news to share - we now have a limited number of opportunities for our Alumni to participate in a summer program*!
news_mar07_jedimick.jpg
Summertime at the Walt Disney World® Resort has so much to offer - you could catch a concert during the Epcot® Flower and Garden Festival, take a picture with Jedi Mickey during Star Wars™ Weekends, or experience the new Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor attraction at the Magic Kingdom® Park. You'll also get to make magic for our Guests everyday as part of the Year of a Million Dreams Celebration, and have the time of your life while participating in housing events such as pool parties, talent shows, and trips to the beach!
And don't forget about the Disney Difference! As a Walt Disney World Cast Member you will receive select discounts on food, merchandise and hotel accommodations across the Resort, as well as use of a Main Entrance Pass that allows you to admit up to three guests to the Walt Disney World Theme Parks six times during your program (Cast Members who have previously issued 2007 Main Entrance Passes should continue to use those).
<hr> Ready to sign-up? Here are a few program details:
Arrival Dates:
Arrival dates are May 16 or May 23, and the departure date is August 10th.
Roles:
Positions are available in Quick-Service Food & Beverage and Custodial roles only.
(Due to operational need, alumni participating in a summer term cannot be placed in other roles, even if they have up-to-date training for that area.)
Pay:
Rate of pay will be $6.67 per hour. Students placed in a Quick-Service Food & Beverage role will receive a $.50 per hour pay premium for a total pay rate of $7.17 per hour.
Housing:
Program participants will live in one of the Disney Housing apartment complexes near the Walt Disney World Resort.
Hours:
Participants are guaranteed 30 hours a week, but will most likely work between 40-45 hours per week. Participants are also welcome to sign up for extra hours if additional shifts are available.
Educational Opportunities:
Because of the short duration of the program, no formal education offerings will be available; however, all participants are welcome to participate in learning activities and sessions offered through the Disney Learning Centers.
Deadline to Apply:
The application deadline for this program is Sunday, April 15, 2007.
<hr> How to apply:

  • Your full name

I guess this is better than nothing. My take is that they are short on roles in QSFB and Custodial and are taking this route as a way to fill these positions.

I'm going to stick with Fall Program in Transportation

This is good news to me. If my extension doesn't go through for the summer, I'd like to do this, in qsr, I actually loved qsr back when I did it, and as much as I love entertainment, it might be a welcome break.

I think I am going to stick with entertainment. I wish alumni could do their old roles though. I was looking forward to doing the alumni program.

Okay... so the summer alumni are only getting hired for Custodial and QSF&B?? Does that mean we're not getting any summer alumni this year at our location?? *panics slightly*

When Disney gets desperate, Disney gets desperate. Just like when they started Career Start and the only available roles were qsr and custodial.
My extension got accepted so now I don't have to worry about it though. I wish I could talk some of my friends from my first program into this.

Those are pretty good. Of course, I wish people could be allowed to do their old role. I would do that in a heartbeat. But if I were to pick a custodial/qsfb role, I probably would do:
first- custodial at either MK or MGM (probably MK)
second- QSFB at Casey's or Pinocchio's
third- qsfb somewhere in MGM

I was thinking of DAK because i've rarely been there and closing times work for playing in the other parks (they close early)

And Epcot Custodial World Showcase.... (sigh) what i'd give to get that one and be able to watch RoE every night

I don't want to work at MK b/c i love visiting there as a guest.

I'll def do some PAC and perm greeter shifts there though.

Yeah, Epcot WS would not be that bad. I don't mind working MK because I've worked there the most (or all the time) my first 2 CPs. And PAC is great!! I love doing PAC.

Hey, just joined, wooo first post! Anyways--
I was a non-alumni CP last summer at the Everything Pop! food court/gift shop in Pop Century and I had a great time. What I liked best about my location was that because it was combined, I got merchantainment training too which let me go and do merchandise shifts in the Pirates bizaar (my faaaaavorite ride/shop!)
I was bummed when they announced there wouldn't be an alumni program this summer but was jumping for joy when I got that email! I put down a pref that I return to Pop because that was a fun team of people and heck, I'm an expert 'Twist'er by now (CMs do the twist at 8am everyday) Beyond that, any of the parks would be cool too.
I just wish I could find out if I was accepted yet!!
