    Hello.

    I'm just wondering if anyone has applied for the AEP hoping to start in 2016?
    I can hardly find anyone else who has applied, only two or three.

    Would love to get to speak to more people about it.

    Here's the facebook group if anyone is interested: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1654473861457042/

    Oh wow!! Is your application process the same as in the UK? I know so many people started getting interviews literally just as I applied so not sure how hopeful I am at the moment haha

    No ours is different! The application date opens and closes after you guys. We also apply directly through Disney so we don't go through yummy jobs at all because of this we only have to do 1 interview (I read a blog that said this ahaha) we don't have to meet with an embassy or anything to get our work visa we just get one once we arrive there! Also I think we start earlier then people in the UK! I saw on Canadian blogs that we start in May and UK people start in June ! I think it'a because we are neighbors to the U.S. So it's easier for us to work there and get visas !

    Yeah the idea of going to the embassy is pretty scary haha! Our applications close on 27th September so won't be long until I find out about a possible interview. I put my availability as from 6th June because my uni year finishes on the 3rd which is sooo late haha. Good luck with applying!! :)

    Other people have said we won't hear until mid-late December so I've got a while lol but they opened a lot earlier this year so hopefully it means we will hear sooner ! Usually in Canada they don't open until the end of September but this year they opened August 4th !
