So that 10 December stuff... yeah. I wouldn't put too much stock in that.
Hello, fellow pendees! I just wanted to check in and say hello to everyone.
Keep thinking purple.
Hello! I'm still thinking purple after almost 6 weeks of waiting!
Sooo.... not good news. In fact, it's (in my opinion) worse than being rejected, because somewhere, someone messed up. So about three weeks ago, feeling dejected from DW, I decided, to heck with it, I'll apply for the CP at DL. Even though I really want DW. Because you know, I had been pending for a long time. I go through the whole process and just today, I received a phone call from DisneyLand, offering me a merch position. While excited because I love Disney itself, my heart was really with DisneyWorld. So I thought, well, to heck with it! I'm going to call Disney World and see if I can even get a hint of whether or not I will be accepted; if I should keep hope alive. Because at this point it's been 7.5 weeks since I've been pending, and 10 weeks since I applied.
I get put on hold for quite a while, until a really nice lady comes on and re-asks me the last time that I've heard from them. I reply, "September 13th, the day I got my pending email." She then proceeds to tell me that in fact, they had accepted me into the program, but since they never heard back from me, they rescinded the offer. It was for the PhotoPass position, for Spring Advantage. On the verge of a panic attack, I kind of say that's not possible, as I've been checking my email's everyday, and I had received both emails thanking me for my interview, and the one saying I was pending, as well as receiving hard copies in the mail about a week after those. I never got anything with acceptance! And my pending letter had said not to call as I would be notified by December 10th. She was really understanding and said that unfortunately it says in their system that they sent out the packet two weeks ago, in the middle of October (about the time I applied for DL). She said that what she was going to do was to talk to the lead in that department, and they evaluate it on a case by case basis. And they might be able to re-offer me my job, if there's still a position still available. But unfortunately, if there is no position available, I'm out of luck and there's nothing she can do. WHICH IS TOTALLY UNFAIR!!!!!! I mean, how come I receive EVERY SINGLE email and physical letter at my house, but I don't get ANYTHING for this acceptance?! I seriously think someone just skipped over my name when sending out the acceptance packets. And worse, the lead isn't in tomorrow, so if I don't hear anything in the next hour, I have to wait til Monday. I basically just started crying because I want this so bad, and I've waited for over 2 months, and now this is the letter I don't get? Some people didn't get the thank you for interviewing letter, and I don't get the acceptance.

Aw I'm so sorry. I can't imagine if that happened to me. I really hope they at least give you another role but I'm sure Disneyland will be really fun too. You could apply again for WDW for another semester if they don't offer you your role. I'm going to start calling every 13 days now. I don't want to bug them but this worries me. I haven't changed my address since I moved to Florida so it might get forwarded to Indiana.
I shot an email to the recruiting email address and am probably calling on Monday. The time frames of my interview and pending letter fall near BigDreamer's and I am very nervous that perhaps my stuff was lost.
my bf called after i read this and the lady said they dont tell people if they were accpted of not over the phonethey only resend stuff out
Clearly, in BigDreamer's situation, they would tell you, because her offer had been rescinded and they had to explain that to her. So if that same thing happened to anyone else, it's entirely possible that it could happen.
Hey guys, thanks for the encouragment. Work's been busy so it's keeping my mind off of things while I wait for Monday to come. I didn't want to start a panic with doom and gloom, but at the same time, it happened to me, so it's like I wanted to put it out there.
Broghantaylor, I have to say that I'm really scared the CP people will think I'm lying too. Like, think that I just waited too long to respond and am now trying to get back in. And I'm totally confused why they wouldn't send the stuff back out again, like the lady on the phone said they do. I mean, something has to be wrong in that I didn't get the email or the packet, and when the lady was talking to me I was wondering why they wouldn't have tried harder to get a hold of me to find out that I really was going to pass on the job. I know that they don't tell you on the phone whether or not you've been accepted, but in my case it was you WERE accepted, and now you're not. I think my case was closed. If it had still been in the window for me to accept or deny, then perhaps they wouldn't have told me, just sent the stuff back out?
Also, I'm not sure how long DW would have given me to respond to the offer, but I know that DL told me I only have a week to accept the offer.
