Your ULTIMATE SURVIVAL GUIDE to Disney World at Christmas Time! UPDATE x2 10/21

I know i've already congratulated you, but I'm SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!! The anticipation is killing me!!! I just wanna know if I got accepted!!!!! I'm writing a DCP ptr/planning journal if you wanna read along!!
 


No. They're not going to prevent you from doing the program. They just need to approve you of it and he's impossible to get ahold of. :headache: Thankfully Preston has him for class on Monday so if I don't hear from him by then, I'm just gonna go find him myself. :laughing:

Ah, phew! You had me worried for a while, that a stubborn advisor could stop you from your dream for no good reason. Glad to know it's really just a formality. :thumbsup2
 


Thank you so much! :goodvibes I am absolutely thrilled! They call it "advantage" now, if you stay a semester plus a summer. I don't know what advanced referred to. :confused3 What job did you work, again? I feel like I asked you that before. That's awesome that you had such a wonderful experience! I think it definitely will be incredible! I am so excited! Thank you so much! :upsidedow

They had advantage back then, Advanced was what I think they call the professional ones. usually you had to do a regular CP first but for mine you didn't, I was an Education Presenter at DAK.
 
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S!!!!

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

I couldn't be more exited for you! I cannot think of a more perfect person to get this position. Best of luck with following your dream. And WOW January to August. That is a nice long time.

Question for you - where do you stay?
 


Wow, your life is so exciting!
I think its fabulous that you heard back so quickly. How magical!!
I can't wait to hear about your most recent trip!

I can't think of anyone more deserving and more perfect for the job!! I absolutely love reading your trip reports, your enthusiasm and passion for all things Disney is contagious and heartwarming. Enjoy this magical time in your life and live your dreams to the fullest. :littleangel:

Woohoo thank you so much! You're so sweet :) I am so excited to go on this journey! I am a little scared that it's 7 months long... but at the same time, I know I'm not going to want to leave!

DCP students stay in one of the three DCP apartment complexes. They are called Patterson, Chatam, and Vista. I'm hoping for Patterson!

Wow, your life is so exciting!
I think its fabulous that you heard back so quickly. How magical!!
I can't wait to hear about your most recent trip!

Haha aww thank you!
I know, I was SO happy! And in WDW too! It was so perfect.
Thanks - I can't wait to write about it!

Aww thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I'm glad you enjoy the reports. Thank you again... I definitely will cherish every moment! I am excited for this journey to begin!
 


I was so happy to see your "tweet" about getting accepted into DCP! Only knowing you through your TR, I am confident you will be amazing in your role. You have so much Disney knowledge and such a passion for Disney that really comes through.

BTW, I loved your MNSSHP costume :)

Aww thank you! You're so sweet :) I cannot wait to be able to go and use my knowledge to its fullest potential and help guests have the best vacations they can possibly have!

Thank you so much!!! I loved it too! :goodvibes
 
Forgive my boring font and lack of smileys in this comment, but I'm typing it from my phone. I just spent the last hour and a half finally catching up on your wonderful TR! I won't overwhelm you with my ridiculously long response, so I'll stick to your two most recent updates.

First and foremost, I know I already freaked out on Twitter, but seriously CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are so perfect for this job, and the DCP is lucky to have you. Seriously, they need to make a reality show about your life, because it's 10,000 times more interesting than most TV I watch!! I am right there with you counting down the days until January 21st! Oh, and until March 2, when I'll be back in Disney and I can see my favorite CM!!!! :hug:

Also, thank you so much for all the kind things you had to say about me and John. Meeting you and your wonderful mother was seriously one of the best Disney moments we've ever had, and we still talk about you all the time!! It was so wonderful getting to talk and discuss our shared passion! You have given us so many wonderful pointers for our trips and your advice always makes them that much more magical!! You truly are a great concierge at heart! ;)
 
Just wanted to add my congratulations on getting accepted to the DCP!!! You have such a love for Disney. You will make a great CM!!! Can't wait to read about all your new advetures.
 
I GOT ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm officially in Costuming for Spring Advantage 2013!!! What are your dates? Mine are Jan 7th-Aug 2nd!

Haha it's so great to have you back, Joni! :hug:

Aww thank you so much! I still am absolutely THRILLED and I don't think that feeling is going to go away! I'm so glad I have the opportunity to help guests out actually IN the resorts. I feel like I have been doing that indirectly through my trip reports... so now I get to do it for an actual job! :goodvibes Hahaha aww you're too sweet! A TV show about the DCP should seriously exist. That would be awesome. Maybe I'll do some video documentaries throughout my journey. And AHHH I can't wait to see you that week! I actually think Preston is coming down that week too so maybe you'll get to meet him!!! :upsidedow

Aww you are so welcome! I loved meeting both of you, too! You're SO sweet! That's absolutely adorable... I'm glad you guys enjoyed meeting us so much! We felt the same way! I'm glad that my advice has helped you out, and aww thank you so much :) That means a lot to me!

Just wanted to add my congratulations on getting accepted to the DCP!!! You have such a love for Disney. You will make a great CM!!! Can't wait to read about all your new advetures.

Thank you so much! I really do, and I'm glad you guys can tell. :goodvibes Aww thanks! I'm so excited for this journey - it will be the adventure of a lifetime!

I GOT ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm officially in Costuming for Spring Advantage 2013!!! What are your dates? Mine are Jan 7th-Aug 2nd!

Congratulations!! That's very exciting! :goodvibes I am going down there on January 22nd!
 
Hello DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM CAST MEMBER!!!!:)

I saw the below post in a wdwmagic forum and thought it was interesting.:)

The post was in response to a question about what "might" be announced at the "What's Next" presentation for media on December 7.

"My guess is that it will be something having to do with NextGen. We were just given word that some new things will be popping up on the Disney front desk system screens on our end in conjunction with the NextGen initiative as well as that additional training will be taking place within the coming months. On top of that I know in the hotel world a whole bunch of CONCIERGE and front desk positions have opened up for hiring and these we are being told have to do with NextGen and the need for more man power. I don't have specifics on anything (and even if I did I wouldn't be allowed to share) but that is what I'm assuming this is all about. Rumor has it that the real NextGen stuff is going to start happening at the start of 2013."
 
Congrats on getting into the college program! You'll be a great CM, they would've been crazy not to accept you considering how much you love Disney! :)
 
Congratulations on the DCP!! I have been a lurker on your trip reports for the past year, and love your updates! You will be fantastic in your new role! We were there a few weeks ago and the concierge in the evening was doing the DCP. She was pretty clueless about Disney everytime I was up there, so you will be a blessing! I helped more people in line than she did :) I hope you start a blog while you are there . . I would love to follow!! I was accepted to the DCP back in 1998 (sorry to age myself) but never went. I will live vicariously through your report on it ;)
 
Jess - I am so super excited for you! Congratulations on your dreams coming true! It's like the magical moment when the glass slipper actually fits!! :banana:

I look forward to seeing which hotel you will call "home" :thumbsup2
 
Congrats on your dream job. Sorry so late I tend to be a lurker since I can't keep up.
