Current CM.. Any Questions?

[happycamper47]

They do it on most longer cruises with a lot of seadays. If you are on the 10/11 hawaian it is likely to happen, south pacific crossing id be shocked you d not have it…

We have it on the schedule next Sunday for the WBPC.

I have a question:
We just disembarked from our Transatlantic a week ago and I loved the Crew Talent show. They were wonderful!

It was mentioned that they only perform during Transatlantic crossing. Is that true?

I was hoping that they would do it during the Hawaiian repositioning cruise since it also has 5 days at sea.

It is usually on longer cruises (TA and PC). I’m not sure about the Hawaiian repo but I would assume it is. I’ll see what I can find out

 

[Mags2002]

They had that show on one of our early cruises a hundred years ago but we never saw it again on later cruises. It was the most fun show on that cruise. We assumed that we’d see it on the next cruise and were looking forward to it but it never happened.

It’s always fun! And great that CMs who do not usually get to perform can have a go!

we didn’t have it on our sailing to Hawaii last year which I was I was really surprised by

Our Hawaiian cruise is in March. There is 5 sea days so I hope we will have one

Entertainment cast always opens and closes the talent show and this past TA they even did the presentation

Is Asha from Disney's Wish gonna be appearing on any of the DCL meet and greets when Disney's Wish debuts in theaters? Mom and I are currently obsessed with Disney's Wish and I think it will be great

My DD did the DCP three years ago and REALLY enjoyed it. My advice: Go in with an open mind. Be like a sponge and soak up as much of the Disney culture as possible. There are so many opportunities/directions that this experience can take her. Have fun, but be patient. She doesn't need to determine her future in the first few weeks or months.

DM me if you'd like to talk more.

Oh wow, tell her I said congratulations!! If she wants to chat, I would be happy to answer any questions she has. My biggest piece of advice is to connect with as many CMs as possible from across all departments and get in there and learn as much as she can about her role. I loved my time as a CP!

Neat! Which talent? I was a little disapponted this past TA it was literally all singing. Other tears they d be some dancing, comedy, painting, magic,…

Did her time at WDW have any lasting effects or impact what she did afterwards?

She can pm me on here or if she would prefer to do it on Instagram, my Disney account is cmmags2002.

Thanks! I'll share that info with her!

I have 2 daughters that did DCP, but that was over 20 years ago, so things may have changed. When the 2nd daughter was going, the older daughter told her to get an room with this most number of roommates. If I remember correctly, they had from 2 person to 8 person apartments that Disney provided. The reasoning was that the monthly cost was less for the 8 person, and since paychecks weren't huge, that would leave you with a little extra spending money.

The both enjoyed the experience, finished their last semesters after DCP and then went back for advanced internships (I think that has a different name now). After that they ended up working full time for Disney until they got married and moved out of the area.

As full time CMs, they did guest relations, and were VIP tour guides for part of that time and got to meet some interesting people.

Have read that the variety of Character meet & greets on the WBTA were cut back considerably, and that lines were very long. Has that been the case on the WBPC?

 

[jkburns]

Yes, as a matter of fact. She joined the DCL Entertainment Team right after graduation. Delivered the magic for one contract; joined WDW in a similar role for one year; and she's currently back on board DCL in Entertainment. Much like our friend Mags2002.

In short, huge, positive, lasting effects and impact. You might say she's "living the dream".
