On top of all of that, I have been working on applications for the Disney College Program and the Disney Professional Internships. While the PIs pay more and would target my major, they start in June and my current lease isn't up until August. Obviously, I would be willing to make something work if I did get a PI, but I was hoping for the DCP...and yesterday... I GOT ACCEPTED!
I was not offered my top role, but I was offered one of my moderate roles, which is Vacation Planner! Basically, that means "ticket seller." At first I was kind of surprised I got offered that role, but then I realized the main thing is ticket sales...and I worked at a movie theater for almost 4 years. So I guess that makes sense. I also mentioned upselling in relation to the Merchandise role during my interview with my recruiter, but it makes sense that she would see fit for that as a Vacation Planner as well.
I actually have not submitted any PI applications yet and I think I will hold off until this Fall for the Spring 2016 PIs. Just because the timing works out much better for the DCP, plus it would give me Disney working experience, which is usually a plus for the PIs! Either way, I am so so excited! My boyfriend will be moving with me along with our two kittens (yes, we are moving to Orlando PERMANENTLY). My check-in date is August 10th, so I look forward to meeting any other CPs then!
This year has been so exciting so far. We leave for New York City (for my Wentworth Fellowship) in two weeks! Our flight leaves at 5:20 A.M. (yikes!) but that puts us in New York around 9 A.M.! We are staying at the Shoreham Hotel in Midtown and we will be seeing Constellations on Broadway on March 13th. :) I seriously cannot wait! (Plus, I get to look over JD Salinger ORIGINAL manuscripts and such...what could be better?!)
