Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, Walt Disney World is proud to present... Us! The ICP 06' cast members!
It's finally our turn to post here and mean it! Let's get introducing and getting to know each other!

Firstly though, a MASSIVE congratulations to everyone who's been accepted!

So, let's get goin'!

Me...

Name: Kevin Casey
Age: 19
Residence: Cork, Republic of Ireland

Position Offered: Attractions
First choice?: Yes!
Interview Location: Birmingham
Interview Date: 9th November

College/University: NUI Cork (University College Cork)
Studying: BSc Business Information Systems (First Year)

Height: Not sure. Under 6ft, anyway...
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue
Status: Single *cough*

Interests: Disney (duh!), Scouting (I'm a leader with Scouting Ireland's Beaver section-that's 6 to 8 year olds), Music (just not rap. or reeeeally hardcore metal, death metal etc.), Film (just not horror), Theatre (just about everything), Computers (BIS is Computers and Business. Love it!), Internet (would you have guessed?), Travel (13 countries under my belt-and that's not including the ones in Epcot )

Other stuffs: I'm totally available if anyone wants to learn Irish. It's a great language and the fact that no one else speaks it makes it great for speaking in code when you're abroad *cough* : I'm generally pretty outgoing and friendly but I can be shy from time to time. Once you get to know me though, you'll realise I'm (and I cant overemphasise this enough)... MAAAAAAAAAD!!

And Finally: I'm soooo looking forward to next summer now! Chances are for the first few days I'll be homesick or a bit shy-but just gimme time and I'll come roaring and screaming out of my shell

Yay!

Hiya all  

Just thought I'd say hello. I'm Gemma from Liverpool and I was a ICP this summer as a Lifeguard  ;D

It was an amazing summer.. but hey some of u F&B guys work some sh1t hours, but hey there are ways around it (3 days off a week some people used to have by being unfortunately sick  )hehe. But when u think about it would u rather be doing it in UK or Florida baby!!!

I made the bestest mates out there, we went to Miami, road tripping, sky diving in Cape canaveral, skinny dipping in Vista Way pool.. opps nearly got sent home on last nite - but it was good fun!!

I even topped it off by staying on for 3 weeks after - went on a caribbean cruise with my boyfriend and road tripping down the Keys.. now I'm back in my 3rd yr of uni - oh I miss it and just think you have it all to come... so so jealous.

Anyway if you need any advice etc. Just ask as it saves me from uni work.. urgh  

Love Gem xxx
