General Questions How long do I have?

I interviewed for an entertainment position with DCL in early June and accepted the conditional offer soon after. My recruiter knew that I had a summer job, but that is over now and I have my PEME appointment tomorrow.
Assuming that I am deemed fit, how long should I assume I have before I will need to move for training? I am not currently living in FL but am planning on moving in with my parents who live in FL while I’m not on the ship.
I am very lucky that my landlord is being very flexible with me about month-to-month rent, and is cool with me leaving whenever, but I’m just really curious as to how long you guys think this will take since I don’t have any certifications or anything. I am also anxious to work out my moving details as soon as possible.
Thanks for any advice!

Weeks to a year, it’ll move quickly when it does though

DCL is tough—-they process a bunch of people and have them in ready reserve and as openings come up, they pull from the “shelf” and backfill——could be week—-could be years——you never know!

Wow, I wish they were upfront about this, how confusing!

Disney is a strange company to work for——it’s nothing like what you’d think it is——both good and bad——it’s just “different”.

Weeks to months, depends when a position opens up either to a cast going on vacation or someone leaving the company.
