    Might be a tad early for the postings, but WDI does have opportunities http://wdi.disneycareers.com/en/career-areas/students-recent-grads/internships-co-ops/ You should also look into stuff with Disney Interactive You can opt out of housing.

    dorms question

    Already implied. It is asking if you would like to match up with someone. If you do, then you will need to input their roommate number. http://disneyprogramsblog.com/dorms

    finding roomates

    Just an FYI- for some CP programs arrivals occur on Mondays and Wednesdays. Also housing isn't just for CPs. Culinary program and international program people live there too and they are always arriving/departing. disney was clear that pre-registration takes place about 10 days before an...

    Background check question

    my take is that as long as she discloses, she will be OK no matter what shows on the background check she will def run into trouble if she says "no" to everything and something pops up.

    Doing the Dcp as Trans

    A while back I was following a FTM CP on tumblr. Unfortunately he left the program early, but did a pretty good job of documenting his very positive experience going through the interview process, pre-arrival, and post arrival. Found this post. Might be a good one to start with before...

    Phone interview- Talk about being unofficial friends with Rapunzel?

    Phrase it in a way of experience. Be high level. I wouldn't immediately state which characters unless they happen to ask. If you are interested in being a character performer, you will need to audition (https://disneyprogramsblog.com/disney-college-program-auditions/). Your interviewer...

    Changes for this DCP application season.

    It isn't a personal thing. This is the way they are doing it for everyone now. Lots of things change with the program over time. As long as you have a good rehire and did well on your last program, and had a good interview, your chances are probably pretty good... but that is my opinion...

    Question about applying this year.

    This is somewhat inaccurate. If Recruiting was going to decline someone, they would straight up do it. No need to waste their time or a student's time. People are asked to move on to the WBI at different times. While some will not be asked, there will be some who are. If there is no...

    Full Service Food & beverage role?

    There aren't as many of them as let's say attractions, custodial, quick-service, and merchandise.... but.... there are a lot of table service restaurants in the parks and most resorts. It would be about right in the middle. Isn't a position that has a ton of openings, but it has a lot more...

    Web Based Interview- how to answer?

    There are no right or wrong answers to the WBI. It is really just a preliminary check to see if someone will mesh well with the ups and downs of working the Disneyland or Walt Disney World environment. Trying to game it is really doing a disservice to yourself. Some people may think they...

    Most needed jobs in the DCP

    In addition to the above, I'd throw in Lifeguards (lots of resort pools and 2 water parks) Basically, if you've ever visited WDW before, the cast you encounter the most in a variety of locations are going to be the ones with the most openings. The CP allotment is basically in the same ratio.

    Marijuana at Disneyland College Program

    You can get a lot of opinions on your question, but if you want to ensure you have an accurate answer as to how medical marijuana is handled by Disneyland Resort Cast Members and Disneyland CP Housing, you need to ask Disney. Otherwise, you are just going to keep getting opinions which may or...

    ***please help****

    CP's do get time and half for working more than 40 hours in a given week. I believe they also get this if they work more than 8 hrs on a given day or if they work a 6th/7th day. They do not get holiday pay, but neither do seasonal cast members. To the best of my knowledge, holiday pay is...

    College Program Parents Thread...

    Articles on their official blog about inspections: https://disneyprogramsblog.com/tag/inspections/ Basically they are making sure nothing is damaged (drunks sometimes punch/kick holes in walls) and that would attract bugs. Has she seen a Palmetto Bug yet? Large flying cockroaches... no one...

    Service Animal

    1) You should reach out to housing (wdw.housing.dorms@disney.com) 2) You will need to have your doctor fill out and send the medical accommodation request form that is on the onboarding site.

    Tickets purchased at Company D are about a 10% discount. As long as Company D is open, they can be purchased. The purchase is actually a voucher for a ticket. Whomever the cast member gives the voucher to can exchange it at any park ticket window. cast member does not have to be...

    New housing "Options"

    Maybe I'm in the minority, but all but one of the dormitories at my school had bunks. All of the sorority and fraternity houses also had bunks. After living in the various disney apartments over several programs, there are defiantly some larger bedrooms in some of the apartments that could...
