From what I know they might come to your school. I know they have come to my school in the past but I'm not sure if its a yearly thing or not.

I was able to complete the application, but people have posted Youtube videos about the application and all of them talk about attending a presentation...


In times past, they had a schedule posted on the College Program website, indicating when & where they would be giving the presentations at various schools across the country.

If you had missed the presentation near you, or there wasn't one near you, there was an online version you could watch, and whenever you'd apply, the application would ask where you saw the presentation, whether in person or online...When I applied, the application didn't mention the presentations at all, that I noticed...


But to go back and answer the question of whether you HAVE to attend one...not necessarily I don't think. It basically just introduces the Disney College Program, and explains how things work...if you explore the website thoroughly, and read up on the various components, you'll know just as much as you would have gotten from a presentation.
My incredibly, laughably sad stats:
Theme parks: 5 (Disneyland, California Adventure, SFMagic Mountain, SF Over Texas, SF Fiesta Texas)
Wood: 3 (Rattler, Terminator, Judge Roy Scream)
Steel: 26

I'm just imagining a Vekoma Boomerang, overpriced lamingtons and way too many hung over CP's putting on broad Australian accents.... Sounds like Disney bliss :)

^Same thing happened with me! Did the Internet interview and then got an email to setup a phone interview. I'm scheduled for tomorrow!

Anybody have any quick tips? And good luck to everybody who is going through the interview process right now!

Good luck to all those applying! I hope at least one of you gets placed at The Seas so we can keep the TPR-Seas thing going =) .

My phone interview was last night, and the follow-up email after that said I should have a response in the next 2 weeks. To say I'm excited would be an understatement!

I was going to apply for the Fall program, but I've decided to wait for the Spring round. Going this Fall would mean losing my housing on campus, whereas in the Spring my school can replace my spot easily when I leave. So hopefully I'll be headed to Florida in a year from now to work with the Mouse!
Last Ride: California Screamin' (DCA)
Next Ride: Intimidator 305 (KD)
