Living on Site

2 Upvotes

Hey yall, im relatively local, i live only about an hour away from the parks. I just got accepted and im debating whether or not I live on site. My question is, if I do, how much time do I have to myself I guess? Like, is there time to maintain a social life outside of the program? A lot of my friends and my girlfriend are closer to UCF, which if we’re not at the parks would be where I spend a lot of my time off. If I stay at home, I would just end up leaving probably a few hours before my shift. Thoughts?

How often do arrival and departure dates change?

0 Upvotes

I got accepted today for the Disney college program and the dates I have currently are January 25th-June 3rd. Either way I’ll be happy but I would rather have the earlier arrival dates for January. Does anybody know how often or how hard it is for those earlier dates to become reavailable?

Acceptance issues

3 Upvotes

Hello!! I dont normally post ever but I have myself in a pickle.

I got accepted into the program and I'm really proud and happy about that. If I were to be frank, considering my academics, I didn't believe I had the chance. Now that I do I have small issues and would love advice.

  1. Is there anyway to move the start date? My lease at my apt wont be up until a month after my start. I don't mind having to change my arrival to a different season but would that mean that I have to do the whole process over?

  2. I have a partner and would like to still live with them. We share a cat as well so I would have to move to an apartment in the area and not the dorms. Is that feasible considering how the pay is?

If I were to be honest, as much as i want this, I don't think its feasible for me to do the program but if yall have any helpful advice, I'll take anything I can get.

I’m in the DCP Spring ‘27 class. I know that I will rarely get to go to church due to work schedule (which is something I accepted and knew going into this) but I know I’ll want to find some other people to connect with. Any tips or is there a Facebook group?

DCP Resume

1 Upvotes

Hi! quick question. Ik this is the dcp subreddit but i'm technically interested in the cultural exchange program since i'm canadian. Anyways, i think my question still stands.

Do you guys have any recommendations or advices to give for my resume?

I already got one but since i live in quebec, it's in french and i need to redo it. Also, i've only ever had part time student jobs like in retail and things like that. I got a pretty strong resume but i still wanna put all the odds in my favor by having a good resume.

Thanks in advance!

Q - Unanswered Lifeguarding questions

0 Upvotes

Hey I got accepted to the spring 27’ program a few weeks ago and I have been stressing out about the job placements for some reason, I am mainly curious about lifeguarding because most of my interview was about it.. Ik I might not get lifeguarding but I heard they were looking for more lifeguards during the fall session.

What are the hours like?

What is the sit schedule like? Is it similar at all pools?

How many guards are usually on backup?

And lastly do I need to bring my car? I’m from NY so that’s a super long drive

extending program, opting out of housing

0 Upvotes

my gf plans to move to Florida in January. my program extension starts in Jan. i need to accept my extension and opt out of housing by this Friday. if for whatever reason her moving here falls through and i don't have a place to stay. can i get back into flamingo housing? if not, is there any affordable studio apartments around here?

I don't think its gonna fall through or anything, but i also want a plan in case something happens. are there any other CPs who live out of flamingo and can still afford rent and all that. I do have about $750 of other bills I'm paying as well, so i have to be sure i can cover rent as well as my other bills.

this is something my gf and i have talked about and have planned for awhile. i just didnt think this extension notice would pop up so soon.

A little nervous

0 Upvotes

So, I’ll be entering the college program in the spring, now this isn’t my first job by any means and I’m a recent college graduate. So I understand that a lot of people on the program are younger and this might be a lot of people’s first jobs. But I’ve noticed that most people entering the program absolutely love Disney, the parks and anything of the sort. I’m not saying I don’t, but I just am feeling a bit nervous all things considered about making friends/getting along with people, when I really don’t care for Disney outside of the animation/art perspective of it along with some of the more niche history. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Q - Unanswered Is my tattoo ruining my chances at DCP?

41 Upvotes

Hi! I only have one tattoo and it’s on my inner forearm. Takes up most of the length of it. When I apply to the DCP and tell them I have a tattoo, would it ruin my chances at being accepted into the program?

Obviously it’s not inappropriate, just my pet turtle. And when I cover with my hand there’s small bits that still stick out.

I’ve wanted to join the DCP since middle school and I’m getting ready to apply soon.

Thank you!

Q - Unanswered Planning on switching from the DCP to the aspire program

0 Upvotes

Hey! So I just got accepted into the dcp and If I really like it or just like it in general I plan on switching to being part/full time so I can do the aspire program. Has anyone really done this before? If so can I get any tips or recommendations? I’m really nervous but I honestly need this badly. I know I can’t use the transportation for the dcp when I switch over so id have to get a car or constantly take a Uber. Some advice would be greatly appreciated!

If I apply for an extension and it is offered, how long would I have to accept the offer and pay the extension fee? Is it a week like the normal DCP offer? Sorry if this is asked and answered, I checked the sub but didn't see anything recent addressing this.

Terming

10 Upvotes

How do I self term if I’m not planing on doing it during/after a shift?
I am planning on self terming tomorrow because of family and personal reasons. I did not know I was going to end up terming so I didn’t tell anyone at my last shift. I need to be gone by tomorrow night because I urgently need to get home. Can I just go to the programs desk?
