    Termination from Disney College Program, Fears and Anxiety

    Most "obscure Disney rules that will get you termed" boil down to "don't act like an idiot."

    Cast member haircuts?

    Found the info on the Disney Look on their website...under the section of hair for men. He's going to have to part with his locks, I'm afraid.

    DCP Spring 2014

    Went back and forth for a while....decided to apply! Want to do Spring Advantage this time - the worst part of my first program was when it ended. Want to stay as long as possible this time!

    Spring Advantage Registration 2014

    A friend got an email back from casting stating "we will start taking applications in early September for the Spring of 2014.", so sometime between 9/1 and 9/15 is a safe bet. After that, look for apps to be live for just around two months based on past application cycles and the post on the...

    Decorating Your Apartment Questions...

    Hi! Alumni from Spring '11 here. Waiting to hear on my application for this Spring. *You can't hang things on the wall. At all. I'm emphatic about it only because there WILL be inspections and that's one of the big ones they keep an eye out for. *People may purchase additional furniture for...

    Spring Advantage 2013?

    Interviewed Monday morning. Pended Tuesday night. That's one of the fastest turnaround times I've ever seen - especially this early in the recruiting season. Did they change around the selection process a little bit this year?

    Does the program ruin the MAGIC?

    Honestly, I think seeing all the hard work and effort that goes into making the magic only *amplified* it for me. It's one thing to be passive as it happens around you, it's entirely another thing to be actively participating in it.

    Restricted Rehire question

    No, I wasn't asked to fill out any sort of rehire paperwork. Hindsight 20/20, had a bad interview.

    Restricted Rehire question

    I was hired by a local photo studio here approximately a week or so after returning from Disney. FWIW, was terminated by Disney at the end of May; held the job here since the beginning of June.

    How much weight did you lose on your program?

    Part of the weight change between program-start and program-end depends upon how physically active your role is, and whether it's indoors or outdoors. Photographers typically lose more weight than vacation planners, for instance. If you're underweight or on the low-end of normal weight: it's...

    How old is too old?

    For what it's worth, two of my three roommates were 27 and 26. I knew personally of at least two CPs, in their mid 30s, who were roommates. Though it often seems like roommates are drawn out of a hat, roommates of similar age are usually put together. They've found it makes things easier for...

    Restricted Rehire question

    I worked during the spring as a CM. Enjoyed it immensely. Due to some poor decision making on my part (two reprimands very early on due to call-ins...I hadn't realized how much I'd love my job quite yet) and some illness issues (with the stricter call-sick CP rules) later on, I wound up with a...

    Eating on the Program

    Typically, either Progresso or Campbell's Chunky soup is priced between $1.50 and $2. Highly recommend you stockpile those - cheaper pasta is often not substantive enough, particularly if you have a more physically active role. Soup got me through my program mostly sanely. Most of my days...

    Point/Reprimands

    Once you have the points for a reprimand, your manager will issue you a reprimand. They'll have you fill out a bit of paperwork, then they'll give you a paper reprimand with a list of points-gathering incidents. At this point, your count resets to 0 and you start anew. If you have 3.5 points...

    Has anyone taken the web interview this time around, after taking it previous semeste

    Same web interview as before. Just remember: Answer strongly (though I advise throwing in 1-2 non-strong answers) Answer honestly (BS will shine through) Don't contradict yourself.

    No more purple folder?!?!

    My interviewer mentioned this morning that all Program-related communication was being handled electronically this year, so it wouldn't surprise me
