I did it twice. First in fall of '98 and again in fall of '06. Second time I worked at POTC.All I remember about the interview is - If they ask about outdoor foods or quick service, say yes, you are OK with that position. I kinda got the feeling if you say no, its an automatic disqualification. It's not stressful but it's a program where you will either love it and go back several times or you will hate it and curse Disney for the rest of your life. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground. Basically, its a job in the tourist industry, and all the crap that goes with it. I will warn you though, during peak seasons (Xmas being the biggest), you may be looking at a LOT of work. I don't know if regulations have changed over the past 10 years but some people were scheduled well over 40 hrs a week. You do have the option to trade away or pick up shifts if you want but you have to be trained for it. Like if you work splash mountain, you can't pick up a shift at Pirates, unless you are trained for both rides.The housing is 50/50. If you get roomartes you can tolerate GREAT. But you can also get ones that you hate and that will make the program a bit tough to get through.
As far as bad roommates go sometimes you can convince them to switch apartments. I had one roommate that liked to leave huge messes and then blame them on me, she told our other roommates I said things that I'd never said, she would call in sick to work and then go out partying with her friends, she was drinking underage, she allowed a boy to sleep over in our apartment without asking us first--not to mention that it was explicitly against program rules and we all could have been fired if he'd been caught there (so if she had asked we would have definitely told her no!), and so many other little issues that escalated over time. I was the first to see through her act, which is why she tried to convince our other roommates that I was the one responsible for all the messes. I refused to put up with her garbage (she claimed to be an adult, after all) and my other roommates knew that I hand washed my dishes (and I didn't use the apartment dishes, I'd bought my own) so there was no way that the messes were mine. After three months we'd all had enough and someone else called her out on her crap. She got butthurt and cried to the apartment managers and they switched her out. The rest of us had a grand time after that.

I know a few people who were terminated because their guests never signed out by midnight )or whatever time curfew was) and the next day, they were terminated. The second time I extended my program with a roommate and we were moved together into a new apartment with 4 other girls. One girl never showed up. We never seen her. I guess she changed her mind. Anyway, Vista security came by one day thinking that she was still there. We said none of us ever seen her. They though we were hiding her or something, and every 2 hours for a few days, they were knocking on out door. The girl that was supposed to be sharing a room with the MIA girl, would sneak her boyfriend in by hiding him in the trunk of her car. I was one of the ones who called out all the time. They make it soo EASY. Call in sick for 1 day and get 3 days off. Call in personal, get 1 point but you can still play in the parks. As long as you spaced the points out..you could seriously work the system. But it caught up to me with only 2 weeks left to go. (I had .5 of a point to spare but ended up with phemonia). I think they did away with this system for the CP though.
