My dd checked in on Sept 6. We got to WDW on Sept 3 and hung out in the parks for those days prior to checkin. She had an 8:45 check in time. We had packed the car with her bags, and arrived at Vista at the appointed time. She went to check in, got her key, and we went to the apt. Started getting her unpacked. About 20 mins later, she had to head to Casting. She returned about an hour or so later. We then headed to Target to get the stuff we hadn't brought with us, and food. We returned to the apt, continued unpacking. About an hour later she had to do drug testing, took about 30 mins. When she got back, I had her bed made, and groceries put away..pretty much. It was probably about 3:00...we said goodbye and left. We flew home the next afternoon. She had Traditions on Sept 10...so lots of time was spent with her roommates. The girls got to know each other pretty well in that time!!!
Sadly, yes, sometimes. I know of two girls, personally, who had to wait until the last day, and then were told they were on a waitlist!! They got accepted about a month prior to checkin!!!
Sorry to hear that PrincessKsMom. Did you DD get a WBI and phone interview? My son is still waiting to hear--he had his phone interview on Oct. 27th.
Awww...my son JUST received his rejection email. I really thought this was it this time (3rd try). Oh well...Good luck to your daughter finding the right internship.
Yes, the bus system is as horrible as you have heard. It is not run by Disney. It's contracted out. The buses break down (they have actually had some catch fire!!), some drivers are unprofessional, sometimes they are late (driver gets off to take a smoke break and no one monitors that.
