College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[OnoGrinds]

Florida-Site Participants can visit the Ticketing Office in Celebration, Fla. to obtain a Main Entrance Pass on short notice. In either case, however, they will not be eligible for a Pass until one week after their first shift.



Oh this sounds like what I need to do so my family can come down and visit over labor day. If I check in on the 11th then my first shift will prob be not to long after so if I did this I could def have my pass by the end of August. Do you by any chance have any more information on this place where I can pick it up. Do I have to call them to arrange pickup? Do you have an address for me? Phone number. Since I have not checked in yet, I do not have access to the hub. I really appreciate all this help!!!

You do not have to contact them in advance. Further information on the location of the Ticketing Office is available through internal sources. More information will be provided to you by the Disney Service Center Office team during your arrival and onboarding process.

Oh okay. Thank you. I thought I had heard you have to contact them so they DO NOT send it through the mail before you can pick it up. So do you think my situation is feasible. If I check in on Aug 11th could I have my maingate by Sept 3rd if I go and pick it up from the Ticketing Office? Seems like is shouldnt be a problem but Im not the expert..im the rookie...haha

Florida-Site Participants can visit the Ticketing Office in Celebration, Fla. to obtain a Main Entrance Pass on short notice. In eitheFlorida-Site Disney Internships and Programs Participants will receive a Main Entrance Pass valid for six visits per calendar year, with each visit admitting the Passholder and up to three Guests.

California-Site Participants will receive a Main Entrance Pass valid for 16 visits per calendar year, with each visit admitting the Passholder and up to a number of Guests corresponding to the number of eligible dependents the Cast Member has listed in the Company's records (three Guests for those with no dependents).

All Main Entrance Passes provide access to all Disney Theme Parks worldwide (with the exception of the Theme Parks of Tokyo Disney Resort in Japan). Blockout dates may apply to certain parks from time to time, according to Business Needs.

What is the purpose of blackout dates? Do they prevent maingate pass holders from entering the park? Do blackout dates also apply to CPs?

The blockout dates are dates that there will be high attendance (around the holidays, for example), so they don't want people getting in for free when they could have paying guests coming in.

Blackout dates do not apply to CPs, however, if the park enters a certain level of Phase closings, then we can't get in.

Blockout Dates do indeed apply to DI&P Main Entrance Passes, just as much as any other Cast Member.

There are no published Blockout Dates for Cast Member ID Cards, but the Company does reserve the right to block out dates for Cast Entry, and has indeed done so in the past. In instances where the Company does indeed decide to block IDs, it'll be published widely through internal sources before hand, in order to let Cast Members know.

Just a regular purse. I wouldn't go with some crazy pattern or character type, but a regular purse is fine

 

[meganDCP2010]

Random question, but...

For days when we need to be in professional dress, are we allowed to carry a purse or bag of some kind? If so, what size/style is appropriate... clutch? tote? backpack? When we are in the parks I assume we'll be expected to keep things in lockers, but what about for classes and etc?

Thanks in advance!

I'm planning on bringing a backpack. Which lockers are you talking about? We have lockers in our closets and at our workplace.

I had heard there were lockers back stage, so I just thought they might expect us to use those rather than carrying things with us around the park. Maybe not.

There are lockers, but they are not necessarily available for training days. For the Once Upon a Time tour (Orientation to MK) we do not give CMs access to lockers, so they carry around their bags throughout the entire walking tour.

A lot of people do bring bags, so I wouldn't worry about it. When checking for Disney Look, I never looked at the bags, I looked at the clothes.

Biggest things are people wearing polos and/or inappropriate shoes; they would have to reschedule the tour to a different day.

Ok, so I understand that there are some things you need to bring and without them you'd be screwed--something to prove that you can work, insurance (?) for a parking pass.

I have a passport that I intend to bring, so I am all set there, right?
But for the parking pass...what do I have to bring exactly? It's not like the registration/proof of insurance thing that I should already have in my glove compartment? Something else? I am really not car-savvy so I have no idea what I am even talking about, but I saw someone mention if you didn't have [insert item] with you when you check in that they won't give you a parking pass...

 

[SportsChick]

If your insurance card does not have your name on it (IE you are on your parent's policy) then you need something from the insurance company showing that you are an insured driver on the policy (This would generally be the declarations page of the policy).

I was also told that if your car is not registered to you, you need a notarized letter stating you have permission to use it during the CP. Others have been told this isn't needed.

For car insurance purposes, I got my mom to get the insurance company to send a letter with the policy and who's covered under it.

Are the CPers allowed free admission to the parks once they get their ID at check-in or do they have to wait until after Traditions?

 

[SportsChick]

Traditions. The ID we get at check in is our housing ID. We don't get our cast ID until Traditions

Non-costumed Cast Members are permitted to wear a oxford style dress shirt with an embroidered logo. However, polo or golf-style shirts are not permitted except for Sports and Recreation Cast Members.

 

[LaurenGoesDisney]

Does anyone know when CPers find out what color work shoe to get? For QSFB. Will we find out during Check-in or Traditions?
