Daughter was accepted into DCP

[hippiechicken]

forgot about that loop as the walgreen's/publix/ post office loop stops early. The post office is one stop then Walgreen's/Publix is the next and then Wal-Mart. I usually was on the bus to Wal-Mart when the other places were closed so it just went straight to Wal-Mart and back.

The Mall has its own bus but it only ran once a week.

I think I understand now!! Thank you.

My DD applied 8/22, phone interview 8/28 and was accepted 10/3. Only trip I've booked for the moment is to move her in Feb 2. We're definitely going Spring Break which is the week of 3/8. Haven't booked that one yet. Will try to get into the Cabins at Fort Wilderness or a Wilderness Lodge Villa with her discount. Of course there'll be another trip 8/7 to pick her up and probably 1 or 2 more in between.

My oldest DD worked in Once Upon a Toy. That zone also included Trend, Mickey's Pantry and another store or 2 I think. It was difficult to pick up hours in your own zone but you could pick up hours in any other merchandise location if desired.

DD lived in Chatham, Commons and Patterson. She liked Patterson the best.

Patterson, Chatham and Commons are all co-located. The main CM bus stop for that complex is at Chatham. Some buses also stop at Commons but not all. My DD did say that Commons does have a bus to MK and a couple of the other locations with lots of CPs. Vista is located separately and has its own bus stop.

Thank you so much for the response. It is so exciting for all of us. She is so excited to get Merchandising. That is great that she can pick up hours at a different location. She can't wait to find out where she is going to work.

She is looking at those three Dorms as well - not Vista.

Thank you again.

I can answer a few of your questions as an alum.
First, Merchandise is a Global Role, so yes, you can pick up shifts in different resorts, DTD, and all four parks, plus the water parks. I have not worked in Merchandise, but I know people who have, and they did that a lot.

The only complex that does not have a bus stop is Patterson, because they are close enough to share it with Chatham. It's less than a 10 minute walk, some people have said it only took them 5 minutes to get to The Chatham stop from Patterson.

I never tested it because I lived in The Commons. You are right about not all of the buses going to The Commons, but they DO have a Magic Kingdom bus. The Commons have buses to all 4 parks, the water parks, DTD, Wal Mart/Walgreen's/The Post Office / Publix and The Florida Mall. The only buses that do not go to the commons are The B bus, which goes to The Transportation and Ticket Center and Magic Kingdom, and some resort buses.

Magic Kingdom has two buses. Both the A Bus and the B bus go to West Clock (Backstage at MK). The A Bus also goes to Fort Wilderness and The Contemporary, the B Bus also goes to The Grand, the Poly and TTC. Both buses have access to get to MK as a guest in the front of the park.

I normally took the A bus since the B bus did not go to my complex (the commons), i would get off at the Contemporary and walk the sidewalk to MK. it took me around 10 minutes to get to MK's front gates that way. You could also ride the monorail from inside the contemporary, but I never got around to doing that.

Once, when I took a networking class at Vista Way, I caught the B bus to Magic Kingdom. I got off of it at The Poly and took the monorail from there to the park.

If you have any other questions feel free to message me.

Also, congrats to everyone on their acceptances. I found out on 10/2 that I got accepted for my second DCP!!! Can't wait to go back. Going to be a Photopass Photographer from February 2 to August 7, 2015. I cannot wait!!!

Thank you - that is so helpful. The buses were confusing us. One of the sites said that they didn't have a bus to MK - and it didn't make sense because I am sure that many people would need and want to go there. I am going to PM you now.

Thanks again!
