I recently attended an interview for Disneyland Paris for one of the maintenance roles, not performing. So things such as working the shops, ticketing, hotels, guest flow, rides, etc. The interview was in London and in total I'd say there were around 40 people there. We started off in the reception area where everyone was sitting silently which was very un-Disney-like and I sat in silence for about 10 minutes. We were then called into another room with chairs and a projector and sat down, being given an application form on the way in, all with a nice Disney background on the sheet. We watched an intro video and were then given a quiz as an audience answering various questions about the Walt Disney Company and some prizes were given out; I got a Vinylmation (go me!) for answering almost all the questions :D (well, I do know my Disney stuff). Then we continued watching the v

I'm now a member of Lovefilm and get unlimited games and DVD rentals of 3 disks at a time for under £20 a month. This also includes a relatively new addition would is the Lovefilm player.

The project I had selected was painting at Battersea Dogs and Cats home. Me and my friend arrived and we immediately noticed a big orange rock corps tent with music blaring out. It was hot as well, like 25 degree hot. After registration and an ice-breaker activity which involved us trying to untangle a giant know formed by picking a random strangers hand. It was fun and I started to notice that the age of the volunteers really did vary, although I am sure the website said up to 25 years old I think there were a few people in their late twenties there to get free tickets. Though I am a bad judge of age, so sorry if you were all under 25! We got painting dog kennels in groups of four and these were not little dog kennels, in fact they were more like box rooms in a house. And we had about 3 hours left to paint four of
