Has anyone been through the Disney College Program???

I was looking for some people that have gone through the Disney College Program. I was wondering about how your experience was and if you felt that it was worth going to. I also wanted to know if you think it really helped you with your career. I am interested in the program but I dont know if it will be worth missing a semester of school. I love Disney World, I live in iowa and have been to Disney World 5 times. If anyone could share some info with me about their trip, or a website about thier trip, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I am a former CP (college program participant) as well as a current college rep. for the program. No matter what your major is, you can have a great time there. I’m a Psych/Criminal Justice major so working at Disney seemed like a waste of a semester but it wasn’t. (And after being there, I realized that it had a lot to do with my field of study, mainly because of all the interaction with guests.) It looks amazing on a resume. Any time I apply for a job now, that’s the first thing my potential employer wants to know about. I worked the main entrance of Epcot and the people were amazing. They became my family for the time I was down there. I also had 5 roomies. Almost 2 years later, I still talk to every single person I met there on a daily basis, including the full-timers who live down there. You should at least apply for the program, you will have the opportunity to accept or decline your job offer.

As for missing a semester….yes, it did put me behind a little. But you can do classes online (through your school, if available) while you’re there. Or you can do summer classes to catch up. The experience was WAY worth it! :) Also, make sure you talk to your school. Sometimes they will be willing to give credit for the program. My school gave credit as long as you were willing to take the time to talk to the Co-op office.

If you have any questions about the program, feel free to contact me. I know basically everything about the program (and I have 24 hour access to people who can also help with any questions you may have.)

Why is our HDB flats/public housing (be it resale or new) being shared with those Private Property Owner or?

The Goverment don’t even provide free education, affordable medical bill, and pension for the elderly, do you think they care whether you can afford to buy your flat?

Burn Photos on Dvds for Storage and Share

Posted on Apr 18, 2010 under Time Share | 3 Comments


Now today in a digital world, many digital photographers always face to tons of digital photos in the laptop and confuse how to deposit and share in a better way. As a shutterbug, I prefer to put photos on DVDs for storage and share.

DVDs are a great way to backup photos from computer for storage and share. With inexpensive prices, a standard single layer DVD can store 4.7GB of data while a dual layer one has a capacity of 8.5GB and both easily to be burned copies by common DVD writer for share. For larger capacity, Blu-ray disc (25 GB single layer, 50 GB dual layer, 100GB 4 layer, 200GB 8 layer) may be a better choice. But problems of these high-tech products are not only the costliness of BD discs, reader, writer and player but also the non-popular of use and result in the disaster of share. So, I still use the common DVDs.

In order to start putting photos on DVDs, a DVD writer is needed. The speed of the writer all depends on what type of DVD drive you have. 1X DVD write speed indicates that the DVD writer can burn your data roughly the same speed that a DVD player can read a DVD. So if your DVD writer writes at 16X that’s 16 times faster.
You don’t need to burn a specially formatted disc but just a regular data DVD full of digital photos if you own a DVD player with built-in slide-show features for viewing JPEG images. Lots of new type DVD players have the features such as Sony DVP-NS57P, Pioneer DV-490V-S, LG DN788, Panasonic DVD-S53S/K, Philips DVP5982 and etc. Different types of players with different play menu, photo quantity limitation and so on. So, DVDs display in this style via my Sony player but that on my friend’s Panasonic.

If your DVD player doesn’t have such features, creating DVD photo slide shows via apps will be help and it is a much more stunning and professional way for storage and share. Bellows are kinds of apps.

1. Free apps that can create photo slideshows.

Google’s Picasa, is a free software download from Google. Picasa can make photo slideshows with simple clicks and copy files to DVD media using both the “Backup” and “Gift CD” features, but DVDs create by Picasa can not be played on all types of DVD players.

Windows Movie Maker 2, included free in XP and Vista, helps to create AVI or WMA slideshows. Although it doesn’t natively burn DVDs playable by many DVD players, Windows Movie Maker has many powerful features (say exquisite effects) to magnetize users and adding DVD writing capabilities to Windows Movie Maker with inexpensive applications will figure it out.

2. Commercial apps wholly make for creating DVD slide shows.

Nero PhotoShow Deluxe 5 ($39.99) is famous and powerful software which includes a massive amount of slide-show-authoring options for photo DVDs. Nero has a 15-day trial for PhotoShow Deluxe, while the free PhotoDVD trial lets you create slide shows with up to 100 images. As a sub-product from Nero, it has highly stability on its writing capability.

DVD Slideshow Builder 4 ($39.95), another professional and popular app that can create DVD photo slideshows with photos, video clips and music in high-resolution HD DVD video format and burn directly. It provides a free trial version with Watermark on output, 30-day trial limitation. What it attract me is its plenty 2D/3D transitions and Ken-Burns effects.

Although photo online sharing is a hot trend, such as Flickr.com, DVDs displayed via TV set and player can not be instead by other things. It is in a popular style for years.
