'Opportunity List Update'

The end of August came, and it was getting to the point where we were beginning to think that we'd been forgotten about, until we received an email at ten to 8 in the evening. I'm so glad I was busy yesterday, otherwise I'd probably have been going crazy refreshing my inbox every 10 2 minutes!

The email said, basically, that we have to keep waiting.

And as it is now the end of August we did want to send an update regarding the Opportunity List, and just keep you informed that currently your status is still the same where you are being considered for future roles that may arise at Walt Disney World. These roles can be a variety of reasons, and we will keep you informed of them.

Obviously we all emailed back and asked for a bit more information, and were told that they're going to hold onto our details until January 5th, when the applications reopen. I don't want to have to go through the whole application process again (though believe me, I will if I have to!), so I really really hope that I get given a date in the next 4 months.

I admit, I'm upset. Nick's email in June made it sound as if they were waiting for Disney to give them a whole other batch of dates that would be given to all of us waiting, but that doesn't seem to have happened. When others from the waitlist have been given dates, they've been in dribs and drabs, not all at once as I'd always imagined it to be. So I kept believing (or trying to believe) that the rest of us would all receive dates at the end of August. Turns out, there's more waiting for us to go through. Which, as I mentioned in my previous post, I expected to happen. I did. But that didn't stop it being any less gut-wrenching when I read that email.

The email tells us not to put our life on hold, but how can I help but do that? I can't plan more than a couple of months into the future in case I get given a date.
