I don't mean to bump this after so long, but I've been reading this throughout the day today. I've loved the advice given so far, so thank you to everyone!
I'm an upcoming high school senior and I wanted to know when it would be best for me to participate in the program? I don't plan on doing it until the summer between my junior and senior year, but those plans can easily change...
Also, can you be a character while being in the CP? I would love to be Belle, and the current plan is to go back for a few years after college and do something like this, but if I have the option to while in college, that'd be wonderful; though I'm not jaded that it's an auditioned role and it probably won't happen.
Are you required to take classes? If so, what kinds of classes are offered?
Finally, are there any specific majors that can help you get a full-time job at Disney? Or are there options for careers in education at WDW? I've wanted to be an elementary school teacher since I was little, but Disney seems so compelling right now I'd love to work there, and possibly incorporate both..
Like I said, I've been wanting to be a part of this for a long time, and the positive reviews on the site are making me antsy to go! I'd love to go every summer during college, and I'm so happy to hear that it's possible to participate more than once! Thanks so much!
