“I have often dreamed of a far off place… where a hero’s welcome would be waiting for me… where the crowds will cheer when they see my face… and a voice keeps saying ‘This is where I’m meant to be.’ “
You’ve gotten that big packet in the mail, and you’ve been extended an offer to participate in the Disney College or CareerStart Programs. You’re definitely excited (rightly so), and you’re pining to take the next steps. Feverishly, you look through your packet, and you find a couple of things you need to do in order to make sure everything is in order.
Respond to your offer: The first thing you’ll want to do is respond to your offer. While this doesn’t officially seal the deal, it confirms the acceptance of your position and arrival date until you can get everything else done. For the College Program, you’ll want to login here to accept your offer and complete a profile. For CareerStart participants, you’ll want to complete the electronic participation acknowledgment form at the URL listed on your role offer.
Pay your Program Assessment Fee: The next step after recruiting receives your response is to pay the program assessment fee. This step officially reserves your position in the program.The fee currently stands at $75.50, and goes to support your application process and the various housing events. It unfortunately is not refundable if you decide not to participate at a later time. If you don’t receive this link, be sure to email recruiting at the address listed on your offer packet.
Complete special requirements for your role: if you’ve been selected to either perform your role in the show as a lifeguard, or need special medical accommodations in your work area, you’ll need to submit additional documentation. Follow the the instructions listed on these forms carefully. If you don’t have a copy of the form you need, just email the recruiting address listed on your offer packet.
Get ready for the experience of a lifetime: You’ve completed all the steps necessary to reserve your spot in the program- congratulations! Start packing and preparing now: your arrival date is sooner than you think! I’ll be discussing what to bring and how to prepare for your arrival a little later on.
Just a note on this blog- as you could probably tell, my publishing schedule obviously got a little backed up this past week or two, but everything it back on track now, so thanks for your patience!
