WDW college program!

[AbbyO14]

To take a car or not? If not, how should I travel from Ohio? Bus? Plane? Walk? (I would if I had to, I am soooo excited!!

I'm pretty sure there is plenty of parking at the apartments. (I think you'll be at Vista Way)

But you wo'nt realy need a car, buses are provided to all WDW areas, and there is also bus service to a shopping place. It used to be the Super Wal-Mart in Kissimmee, not sure if it still is.

Congratulations! Which area did you choose to work in?

How cool! Congratulations!

If you have a car & don't mind the drive, bring it! You will be very popular

I would love to hear about where you'll be working & well, everything! I wish I had known about the college program back when I was in college. It sounds like a great experience.

How great - I'm jealous. But I'm looking toward retirement.

Let us know where you'll be so we can say HI from a Dis fan. We are down there about 3 times a year.

I didn't specify--I just interviewed Monday and am looking to hear in the next few weeks. I am dying counting the days to find out. As for what job, ANY! Any that will allow me to work with people--I am a very social person. I have never been there--at age 19, I would be fulfilling a childhood dream! So cheer me on--if I make it, you all will know! Because of course, it's a small world...

P.S. Just wanted to say that I feel like all of you DIS members are wonderful--I love how you surround and advise even us "newbies," helping us so kindly with every possible question. That is one reason I want to go--to meet the awesome faces behind the caring posts!

I hope you are accepted into the program. My daughter leaves in 39 days for the Fall Advantage. She is so excited. She is not bringing a car because it sounds like they do have a lot of transportation.

 

[AbbyO14]

great--good for her! If I get in, I will definitely be in touch!

I finished the college program in May of 2000. I drove from NJ. They do have busses that take you everywhere but having your own car is much more convenient. You can leave for work when you want and get back to Vista Way quickly afterwards. Also for day trips to Daytona, Coco, or Clearwater and downtown Orlando it is a must and well worth it to have your car.

My other daughter lives in Melbourne so she will pick her sister up for day trips. I figured a car would be a distraction and everyone else would want my daughter to be driving them places. Also it will make her appreciate the car she drives here when she gets back.

Where do you find the official info on the college program? My DS may be interested and I would like to let him know about it.

 

[safetymom]

There was information at my daughters college. They also have a web site.

At Miami University, they are done for the spring. However, they will be back in early fall to recruit for the 2003 spring/spring advantage programs. Just look for the information tables, free Mickey stickers, and big yellow posters all over campus. Remember--you MUST attend an information presentation to be allowed to interview!
