DD applying Disney College Program
This promises to be an exciting year! My DD is finishing her Junior year in college in engineering and has decided to add one semester of college on and one semester in the DCP! She is going to apply for Fall 2015. She has always wanted to be at Disney for the Halloween festivities and it has never worked in our schedule, so she is choosing the Fall semester. That way if she does not get into the program she can re apply for Spring 2016.
Asking for Pixie Dust for her! I'll update you on her progress! I guess the applications will go on line some time late this Jan or early Feb. She is reading up on the process right now through blogs. She will be starting her own blog as well.
Happy New Year to All!:tink:
First Day of DCP Acceptances began
Well, on the FB page at least, the first wave of DCP acceptance emails began. It looks like most of them are Fall Advantage (FA) applicants (they arrive in summer through the end of the year). The main roles that they were offered were in Hospitality and Main Gate Operations with a few in Attractions.
My daughter is still "in progress" on her Disney Application dashboard. She did not apply for FA. She applied for Fall Only since she has a full time job in the area she is going to college for this summer. It was offered to her last summer after she did an unpaid internship with the company. So we are still waiting.
I begin to realize the difficulty in this process, not so much in waiting but in trying to make plans for Fall 2015 Classes, Housing and Financial Aid, scholarships, college statue etc. depending on if one gets accepted or not. We have a couple of weeks before she has to start making some commitments and decisions, so I am hoping to hear word on her acceptance or denial before then!
Good luck to everyone else who has family and friends waiting!
Accepted!!!! My daughter is officially a cm!!!!
My DD just received her email from DCP. She has been officially Accepted for Fall 2015 as a Lifeguard. She will be there from Aug 24th - Jan 4th!!!
I am so excited for her! Finally, a Cast Member in the family!!! LOL :magic::party2::tink::swim:
Accepted!!!! My daughter is officially a cm!!!!
So I thought I would post an update!
Not much to report. My DD did not attend the Nashville auditions this last week. We were planning on it since she was home on spring break. But she came home and pretty much got a cold immediately! It just seemed like she really needed the extra sleep and some time to be lazy. She is in an engineering program and so the stress is alway pretty high for her (one of the reasons I suggested she reduce her course work load each semester and add another semester of classes and the DCP program on in the first place). I let her decide and since she really was happy with getting her first choice role of lifeguarding, she decided to skip them. So we slept in, LOL!
She has found 5 other girls through the Facebook Christians page to room with. So they are private chatting and getting to know one another better. So she is happy with that!
We did go shopping and she found a couple of outfits on sale to take to FL for her Disney class and the Traditions class since they are business casual, plus she got a wrist watch since she will need one as a lifeguard.
That is really all that I can share. I was hoping that she could have gone to the audition for the experience but it just seemed like resting for a while before she headed back to finish her semester made more sense. She headed back today and I already miss her so much! :mickey:
