Disney College Program!!

Hello everyone!
So applications for the Spring 2017 Disney College Program have dropped today!! (August 25th).

Here is the story:
I woke up for work and decided to put on my Mickey Mouse shirt with some jeans and my newest Disney shoes. This was the first time that I had worn them so I felt like it played at least a little part to the day. I headed to work around 7:30 and when I got into work I logged into the computer and got all of my sites set to where they need to be. I decided to check out the Disney College Program website (as I have been doing since the 1st of August) and I noticed that it was no longer saying "Opt in for notice". I literally screamed... well silently screamed because I was indeed at work. I thought that it would be around August 25th but it came so much earlier!

My first thought was to start the application right then and there but I decided that the way for me to be successful would be by waiting until I left work at 12:30. Oh my goodness... I don't think the day could have been slower than how it was today. I had so many times that I wanted to just dive right into the application but I couldn't. My twin has also wanted to be able to apply so I went and messaged her about it and she was super excited as well. We decided that since I get home first that I would apply first and that way if she needed help I would be able to help her.

The time came for me to head home and I would just like to note that I drove very safe all of the 30 minutes that it took me. I did not rush! haha! I got home and right away went to my computer and started the application. It wasn't too hard but it took me awhile because I wanted to get everything perfect! I was at the point of submitting it and it said "Before closing the window, please push sign out". I looked everywhere on the page and there was no place saying sign out so I decided to push the close button... Well advice for others.... DO NOT DO THIS! haha! It asked me if I was sure that I wanted to exit and I said yes. Well then I noticed that the sign out button was on the page for Disney Careers. So I decided to sign out and then log in again and check if there was an application on my dashboard. Well when I went to log in, it kept telling me that the username and password was wrong. After many attempts and me trying to retrieve my username. It would not work.

I made the executive decision to go back in and start all over. I had heard from reading a bunch of blogs and it was stated that they did not want you to apply with multiple applications. I had not received any kind of email stating that they had received my application and so I figured that it had been compromised. SO I went through it all over again and got it submitted the right way! WOO! I got an email and thats how I knew that it had actually worked this time.

About 20 minutes later, I received my Web Based Interview email and I had to decide when I wanted to take it within 3 days of receiving the email. My sister came home and we started her application around 3:00. She took a while for her application and she finished around 4:00. I had to leave for my dance job at 4:50 so I decided I was going to go ahead and start my Web Based Interview. *If you freak out under pressure and don't like having a short amount of time then I would definitely advise you to not give you the amount of time that I gave myself.*
What is the result???? I PASSED!!! WOOO! It told me that I would need to schedule a phone interview and that an email would be coming in about 24 hours. 15 minutes later I got my email and went straight on the site and scheduled it for August 22 at 2:45! NEXT MONDAY! So I have a little bit of time until I have to do the interview so I can plan and get all prepared!

Megan got a Web Based Interview as well and she took it and passed as well! She scheduled her phone interview for August 23! Its pretty crazy that we both got to this point. I hope that we both get in because that would be beautiful! I will update you more later!
