    Applications 2020

    There's no need for a cover letter. I don't know whether they check it or not but it's not a requirement. You will essentially end up listing off all your valid job or life experience in the application itself, and throughout the phone interview. My application was actually very short, and I was...

    Is 25 Way Too Old for DCP?

    I’m turning 25 the week before my program! There are plenty of other people in the same age range. It is a little weird seeing people who are younger than me refer to themselves as old because they must think I’m really old, but don’t let that stop you!

    Best Birthday Dinners?

    Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I'm a pretty adventurous eater so I'm not bothered by much. I know everyone loves California grill but I'm not sure about the price of it. Trader Sam's might be fun, especially with the Polynesian theming I like so much.

    Best Birthday Dinners?

    I'm staying in Orlando for a week, just before I start the DCP. My birthday falls on the second day that we'll be there, and I was wondering where the best place for dinner might be? It doesn't have to be fancy as it's just my mother and myself. We're not doing parks, so it would need to be...

    Priceline Express Deals

    Oh wow! Yeah I hadn't considered SWGE as being a problem because I'm looking for August 1-6th so it won't be open yet, but I'll keep an eye out! Would really be better to not have to rent a car if I could help it. Thank you!

    Priceline Express Deals

    Im curious if this has worked for anyone during the busy season? I was considering trying it for a stay in August but so far the only thing coming up is Swan and Dolphin, but I'm hoping for something with DME or I'll stay offsite.

    Drunk Mickey shirts — inappropriate??

    I don't drink so I personally wouldn't wear it, and it's not a shirt i'd feel comfortable wearing it what I generally consider a family atmosphere. That said I can't remember a single outfit I saw anyone else wear on vacation, because that's not what I'm there for, chances are no one will really...

    Getting over a rejection to reapply

    I haven't had to deal with the cultural exchange interviews so I can't comment on what it's like, but some people on the DCP apply four or five times! Keep trying. Sometimes it takes a lot of tries. Personally I think what helped me get accepted was being able to talk about experiences with...

    Anyone know which colleges/universities Disney actively recruits at?

    Your school isn't related to whether you are accepted. Honestly, as well as anyone knows, there's not a lot of rhyme or reason to the process! My recruiter wasn't even really aware of my school, I had to tell her the name, etc. The school is only needed to verify that you are currently enrolled...

    Should Disney reboot Song of the South?

    People around my age (24) would likely lose their minds over this film being re-released. I've never seen it, but we could argue that there's a number of things that Disney and other companies that are racist, or at the end of it have aged poorly and err on the side of "that could be a problem...

    What is your Disney shameful secret?

    Dole whip is really gross. Reminds me of what I can only imagine eating foam tastes like. A lot of the restaurants on site are not good, even though they're fan favorites. Looking at you, Boma.

    How does Disney Professional Internship program work?

    Sorry I know you just got a question about this, but im hoping to jump to a PI after my DCP. How does the housing work? I've always been told they don't even have it. Also, can you be considered if you can't drive? I would find other ways to get to work, because I'm uncomfortable driving with my...

    College Program Questions Thread, Pt 4

    Balloons are a type of outdoor vending, which is under merchandise. If it's a role someone is specifically interested in they might need to hint at it during a PI, from what I've seen you are trained on how to handle them though? It might be too much time to spend on it for a CP.

    Is Disney forgetting about us "less nimble" folks?

    There are some issues, but the main reason that I love Disney World is that it's not just for thrill seekers. I have cerebral palsy, and as such am pretty unbalanced etc. My main issue is my concern for my balance stepping down into boats or taking big steps to get out of them. I wish there was...
