I don't have the exact answer to your question, but what I DO know is that entertainment costuming is unique to the Disneyland program only! So if you're looking up the Disney World College Program, it won't show up. There is only a regular costuming role! (Although I assume you can be placed in...

I was out by around 11:30/12pm after making it to the end

1. They have parking across the street from Vista but it's very small. If your hotel is close enough to Vista, I'd recommend leaving your car parked at the hotel and walking to Vista for check-in! 2. You don't need to dress up for check-in! During my check-in, people were wearing jeans and...

I was in a very similar situation to you before I did my DCP earlier this year! I was really excited about university at first but it ended up not being exactly what I was wanting. So I took a semester off to do the DCP and I loved every bit of it! I'm actually applying for a full-time job at...

No 17 minutes is great! I've seen where some people's phone interview only lasts 5-8 minutes! You have nothing to worry about! :)

Keep in mind that this answer is based on information from previous CP students, so it may or may not be accurate! From what I've seen, usually there are between 150-250 CP students with the character performer role chosen each program. And I've heard that somewhere between 4,000-5,000...

No problem! Yes her friend was definitely in the college program! Good luck to your daughter, I hope she finds work soon that is IN her area of study! The Disney Professional internship has an internship in Theatrical & Stage Production. I'm not sure how similar that is to Tech Theater, but it...

I understand where you are coming from! The Disney College Program is more about getting job experience working with a reputable company. The classes they offer are pretty Disney specific and there are so many that are great to advance your studies! Students can learn a lot in these classes...

I see a lot of people asking questions very similar to this one! The dance and acting experience can really help you at the audition, but in the end your chances are varied based on how well your audition goes! I've seen where professional dancers were turned down after a character performer...

I agree! I remember my visit to WDW when I was little and our housekeeper always decorated our stuffed animals all cute & I just loved the towel animals. It really brightened up my day and completed the whole "Disney Experience"!

The specific requirement posted on the Disney College Program website states: "Students must be currently enrolled and taking classes in an accredited college or university in the United States and have completed at least one semester." University of Phoenix and most other similar online...

I recommend that your daughter enroll into college and apply for the Disney College Program! She can audition to be a character performer and hope to be cast as a dancer in the parades or shows! There is a dance portion at the DCP audition! The first dance portion is fairly easy, but the better...

I was accepted into housekeeping for Spring Advantage 2013! Although I am auditioning (and hoping for) entertainment, I'll still be fine with housekeeping! Look at the positives! It has the most regular hours of any job, and the pay rate is a bit higher than most! Also it is a tipped role! I...

Short answer, no. You can audition for entertainment at one of the auditions this October for entertainment! If you are offered a role before auditioning, you can accept that role and be switched to entertainment upon passing the audition! Otherwise, you can always opt to extend your program...

I hear of people getting accepted on random days of the week, but I've noticed that there is usually a high number of emails sent on Mondays and Fridays. :)

Okay so loooong story short, I've wanted to do the college program since my early years in high school. I planned on applying sometime around my junior year of college, but I made a last minute decision to apply last week for the Spring 2012. My top choice was character performer, but obviously...

You can't buy anything to lift a bed up that high that would be college-approved.. you can normally request for your college to loft your bed for a small fee though. Another alternative to get more room: plastic bed risers. :D I just went college shopping recently, and stores such as...

I'll be calling as well. Keep us updated!

Yeah, I noticed on their website they said "We recruit for our Fall program between September and November." http://disney.go.com/disneycareers/careerstart/wdw/students/schedule.html But I emailed them a few months ago asking when Fall 2011 CS applications would be available, and they said...

I think it's a really amazing opportunity. If that school is a place that she is interested in, or believes it could become of interest later, she should definitely go. I wish I would have started looking for colleges earlier. Once you know what you want, you can ground yourself and work...
