Disney College Program? Should I do this? Help, please...

[princesskiki]

This is my first time posting on the thread, so my apologies if anything goes awry! I am currently enrolled in a four-year university that had been my dream school the greater part of my life. Well, unfortunately, I have found myself in the "this is not what I had anticipated" predicament and have painfully learned that my current path to Psychology studies is not what I want in life. Instead, I have found through my deep and profound love for all things Disney that I want to work in the field of Travel with focuses specifically on Disney travel. Before the school I am currently studying at, I attended a two-year community college program where I met someone who told me they had previously done the "Disney College Program" and recommended I do it after hearing of my love of Disney. I quickly learned that I was not able to enroll in the program during my freshman year of college and that idea was shoved onto the back burner of my life. Fast-forward to the here and now, and I am entertaining those same thoughts again of taking advantage of this incredible program. I know one blatant reason that I didn't apply the first semester this opportunity was extended my way was because of my shyness and close relationship that I share with my beloved family, especially my mother. I have never been away from her (beside two separate two week trips to WDW in the last two years ) and seriously couldn't imagine being away for months. At the same time, I want this so badly. I am really torn.. Besides this mental yo-yo, I am filled with seemingly unending amounts of questions and overwhelming amounts of confusion regarding the program. Some of which include: Would this program be beneficial to someone with my career interests, specifically involving Disney and Travel? do you stay at the program during the Holiday (Christmas)? Do you need to have a drivers license and be able to drive to be enrolled? Or can you take advantage of the Magical Express as you would as a vacationer staying on property would? Can your family come to visit you where you are staying? Do you get to "choose" your roommate(s) as much as one could without knowing them? Also, a big one would be: what are the costs for the program? There are many, many more and I would really appreciate the ability to converse with someone who HAS done this program OR who has a gross amount of knowledge pertaining to its components. Considering I know more questions will develop over the course of obtaining more knowledge about the CP, I would love it if someone would be willing to guide me in my decision-making. What I am really looking for is someone who was in a situation that I am in now, where they feared leaving their home, family, and everything else they knew, for this amazing opportunity. If someone could tell me their personal (and hopefully positive!) experience, it may just be the fuel that gives fire to my ideas and passions. As hard as it would be for me to leave my family I know that I need an opportunity like this and seeing as I do not have any desire to go away for college and knowing my love for Disney, I think this might be perfect for someone like me. I am sure more questions will arise but until then, this is my situation. Thank you to anyone and everyone who does read my novel! Even those who rolled their eyes and bothered not to answer I appreciate your time, too. Have a Magical Disney Day!

Hi, first of all, one of the career choices in the pool of roles is vacation planner. That sounds just like what you are doing. I actually did an internship a while back with a regular travel agency and I was able to work on some Disney vacations and go through the Disney College of Knowlege to learn how to plan vacations. You could always try talking to your local agency. In the program you can just have random roomates or once you get it you can start on the facebook and disboards to find those you would like to room with. There is a 300 fee once you accept into the program for your first week of housing and whatever you will need to outfit your apartment. Sheets, food, routers, ect. My close friend was really hesitant as she was a homebody but you are so busy down there with work you often don't have time to get too homesick. Not that you won't. But family can always stay in a hotel nearby; once you get all you IDs settled after a few weeks you could even get them discounts. And you could request days off to visit them at home or to be with them when they come to visit you. And there's always phone calls and skype! HOpe this helps.

 

[princesskiki]

Oh, thank you for this information you have provided! Have you done the DCP? I really do want this but am so hesitant considering the points that I've made. It's a terribly hard decision to come to grips with. If I do this, I want to do it ASAP but the next session is the Fall one and that would mean me being away for Christmas, which I would do but it is difficult nonetheless. (And I apologize for not officially responding to your correspondence but like I said, I am new to this web page and don't quite know how to navigate it all yet!)

 

[Savvy]

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 Disney because I've realized that I want to stay with Disney long-term!

You should definitely consider applying for the program and specifying interest in the vacation planner role! It sounds like that's what you're interested in! If you are interested in travel/Disney related jobs in your future, I'm going to tell you right now that doing the College Program is MOST DEFINITELY a good decision. Disney is well-known for promoting within, so they like to help current employees move up. With your vacation planning experience, you could definitely end up moving up after your program!

The program fee is $300 which has to be paid after you confirm that you are going to do the program. Rent each week is taken out of your paycheck, so you don't have to worry about any other costs. You definitely don't need a driver's license or the ability to drive to do the internship, although it is convenient to have a car in Orlando as the bus system is unpredictable haha. Also, you can definitely expect to work on every single holiday during your program. College Program students don't get holiday pay, so they always schedule them to work during the holidays.

I think you should go for it! If you are as passionate about Disney as you make it seem, I'm sure they'd love to hire you!

I'm always free to talk if you'd like to discuss further! Just PM me and I'll send you a link to my Facebook if you'd like!

Thank you first of all so much for the thoroughly detailed reply regarding my questions

I mentioned how I fear leaving my family and how close I am with them, especially my mother. This is really a big factor in making my final decision and I was wondering, did you experience similar struggles? I do live out of state and imagine missing them all terribly throughout the duration of my stay. If I have consecutive days off would I be able to go home and visit, or no? I understand family can come visit me but was wondering about the former as well.

Another thing is I was wondering about the atmosphere of the program. I am so not a "partyer" and am not interested in the least in the party scene and was concerned about if this would be the case when off duty?

I hope this all makes sense and I apologize for the countless questions I am bombarding you with, lol. I would have PM'ed you but it said I needed more than 10 posts to be able to do so?? Not too sure about that, but go figure.

 

[oceanlover022]

You can request days off if you want to leave to go home. You would want to request those off as early as possible to have a better chance of getting them off. Usually you only have 2 days off a week. The roles of hospitality and concierge also might interest you. Hospitality is the front desk person at a resort. They get a lot of experience with travel related jobs. As far as missing your family, yes at some points it will probably be hard but it would be worth it. At some point in your life it's possible you would have to move away for a job or something so it's good to have the opportunity to get used to that in a somewhat short term setting. You'll also be really busy and may not have time to get too too homesick.

 

[oceanlover022]

Oh I forgot to add this! I'm not a parties either and that's not something that you have to do. There are plenty of people who don't. Vista way is known as the apartment with the most parties. Chatham and Patterson are quieter.

First off, thanks so much for your reply - you have been incredibly helpful! I've actually heard a lot about the "being too busy to be homesick" bit, so this must really be true, lol. Can you request which apartment complex you want to live in? I would want to do this considering the party scene as I discussed earlier. What did you think of your experience?

These were exactly my fears when I applied to the College Program for this spring. Being that I've never been away from home and my family for more than a month, and that I'm very close to my family, I have been nervous about leaving them all along.

From what I understand, as long as you are not scheduled to work, Disney does not care where you are, provided you aren't doing anything illegal or against their rules. Meaning, you can go home to see your family, if it works with your work schedule. If an alum wants to confirm this, though, that would be great (or I will once I start).

I'm also not a partier in any way, so I found roommates online who also aren't partiers. I don't think I'll have any trouble staying away from that scene.

I wish I had more advice for you, but I haven't quite started yet. If you want to keep in touch, though, I'd be happy to answer any questions you come up with while I'm on the program (I start in two weeks!), and help out with the homesickness question with my own firsthand experience.

Best wishes!

Thanks for your works of wisdom and kindness extended my way I really do appreciate everything immensely!

Do you get to choose your roommates? If so, how would you recommend doing this? What should I look out for in not truly knowing these people beforehand? How many people typically live in an apartment together? Do you get to choose which complex you'll reside in beforehand also?

Also, is there anything you would recommend I should do while applying to ensure I am accepted into this program? I have never seen the application and am unsure of what I should be anticipating.

Thank you!

Disney used to have a roommate matching service before spring 2013, however they no longer do. You share a room with one person at least, so an apartment has a minimum of 2 people in it. The apartments range from 1 bedroom to 4 bedroom. You have the potential of living with 1 to 7 other people. When you're registering for housing, it is all online now, you can specify where you prefer to house or how many roomies you want. Vista has no 1 bedrooms, so if you make a 1 bedroom a priority, you will not be placed in Vista. I personally went with a 1 bedroom for my duration, I was moved once but they kept me in a 1 bedroom. I had two roomies throughout the program, one of my roomies quit the program at one point.

Be aware that less roomies cost you more. Vista is the cheapest with $86 per week for a 4 bedroom. They do have 2 bathrooms and 2 fridges. They do provide lockers.

You should be aware of what your personal preferences are. If you cannot do quick service or custodial, put NO INTEREST on the application. You will be considered for all roles, even the ones you put a low interest on. If you have a specific interest in a role, do research into it and say that during the phone interview. The web interview is simplistic and it is about the customer being right.

As for picking your roomie, once you're accepted, most people do it through Facebook. That is how I met my roomie, you have to submit it through the website, a request of who you want to room with. It used to be you lined up.

You also have a better chance of getting into WDW than DL as they accept more CPs.

I will note - I am extremely independent and I still flew home during my 7 month stay. It is not going to be possible to go home and visit your family frequently. Often times, you will only have 1 or 2 days off. You can however request days off, planning around what your usual days off. Typically you'll have a set weekend that your days off are on. If you want to see your family, your best bet is to figure out what date you're doing that and put the request in as soon as you arrive.

I recommend doing this - it is just work, it is an eye-opening experience. It is a real job and it teaches you and prepared for the real work world.It is worth taking time off university to do this, it can open your eyes to what you want to do for the rest of your life. as a result of doing this program, I have been much more confident, have had an easier time getting jobs back at home and I am far more involved on campus than I was before I went to Disney.

When you have dealt with thousands of guests, the world no longer seems intimidating.

Wow! The information you provided me has been so helpful - thanks so much!! I am glad to hear that although a little difficult and time costly, it IS possible to go home for a brief visit. That thought in the back of my mind will certainly ease my worry of being homesick the duration of my stay.

How "easy" is it to get the living environment that you prefer? I really don't want to be living with 6 others, not to sound picky at all. I just know myself and know I would flourish better in smaller groups.

 

[oceanlover022]

From what I've seen most people get to live where they want to. I'm sure not everyone does. And the earlier you fill out the information the more likely you will get it but I wouldn't worry about it too much. You do have to have the same arrival date as your roommates so I would wait until you get accepted to get attached to someone as a roommate.

 

[njpyro]

Definitely do it. I had started the application process, but ended up not doing it and I still regret it.

Thanks for this. Short yet really touching. I really don't want to live my life with any more regrets than the ones I've already been carrying so that's been a huge aspect in my decision-making process. And I know I would regret it if I didn't apply myself, especially here.

I visited this very board last year around this time, trying to find out more information once I had been accepted. I am only paying it forward in return for those who helped my own experience.

Easy, depends. The way the housing system is set up is you have to choose between two priorities - either the complex or how many roomies you want. As I said before, 1 bedrooms aren't available in Vista, so if you choose a 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom, you won't be placed in Vista if that is your concern. 1 bedrooms are popular and do tend to go fast. Not everyone gets their top choice, however, if roomies are your biggest concern, then on your housing application make sure to put 1 bedroom/2 bedroom/3 bedroom/4 bedroom and so forth. I wouldn't worry about it so much.

The other thing to keep in mind is worst case scenario if you end up with more than 1 roomie is that many of the people I knew who had 7 roomies rarely saw them. Disney keeps you busy and you all have different schedules. There is so much to do that you may very well have the bedroom to yourself.

I forgot - The Commons is also now another open place, they have 1 bedroom apartments in addition to washer and dryers. Patterson, Vista and Chatham have outdoors washer/dryers you have to walk to. I stayed at Chatham and I had a fairly big 1 bedroom apartment.

I didn't plan on doing the DCP. I had no idea what the DCP was before I applied to it and my father knew more about it than I did at the time of my application. I was accepted 3 days after my phone interview as merchandise and I still wasn't sure I wanted to go, I did end up going and it was worth while. It is not for everyone and be aware you are getting yourself into a situation that is work. It does involve long hours beyond your control, but there are some amazing people you meet there. You learn about budgeting (keep in mind if you fly home, the maximum you can go without working is 10 days, so you have to limit the time you go home) and you will owe rent for the week you're gone. So make sure to have saved that up.

There is no harm in applying, just think about what roles you are interested in doing and what you absolutely can't do. You will learn valuable lessons here that you won't have the opportunity to once you graduate.

WOW! Thank you so very much for this thoughtful and well-stated answer!

Regarding the living preferences; I actually desire an apartment exactly as the one that you lived in! I want a one-bedroom in Chatham as I heard this complex is more quiet, which is what I prefer/need. I really also want the least amount of roommates as possible because I am more reserved, shy and need time to myself periodically. This is just my personality and I've really always been this way. Is there anything you recommend I do to ensure I get placed in the living environment I prefer? Obviously if it came to it, I would surely "tough it out" and be more than willing to share my space, though if given the choice I would hands-down choose to live in a one-bedroom Chatham apartment. How could I ensure this or put in the request?

The rent fees, they are taken directly from your weekly paycheck, am I right? I have no problem with this, but just wanted to make sure this is how it pans out.

I also wanted to add, this 10-day time off period is that the entire five-month duration? Or ten days in one consecutive period? I have a feeling I do in fact know what the answer is here, but I had to ask!

Thank you in advance once again for listening (or reading ) so intently. I do appreciate this immensely.

Have a Disney Day!

 

[princesskiki]

And for anyone else reading this thread who is planning to apply to the Fall 2014 program and wants a one-bedroom Chatham apartment - keep me in mind!!

Have a Disney Day!

It is not a cumulative total of days ie you have an allotted amount of time off you can use. The way the 10 day period works is if your last day you worked was Friday and you ask for 10 days off in a row, you must work the 10th day or you will be terminated. You can't go more than 10 days without work, the reason they do this is many people give away shifts and try to get away without working any days. Technically you could still do this as long as you paid your weekly rent and worked 1 day at least. So, ten days in a consecutive period.

Yes, weekly rent is taken out of your paycheck. If during the rent period you went home you didn't work at all, you would receive an email saying you owe rent for that week. You have an option to pay part of it and have the rest taken out of your next week's paycheck. Pay day is every Thursday or as they say EPCOT (Every paycheck comes on Thursday).

I am not a shy person but I am introverted, having 7 roomies also, the thought of it would've overwhelmed me. I had more space to myself than I thought I did in a 1 bedroom. My roomie was almost never home and I found myself almost wishing I had at least a 2 bedroom. At the same time, less people living there means less of a mess and easier to pass inspection.

As for "guaranteeing" it, there is no way to guarantee it. However with the new system, I would start looking on the Facebook group once you've been accepted for another roomie to "link" to in the request. Also it is done on a rolling basis, so staying up late/early to be online when they open the housing registration will boost the odds ever in your favor (points for if you recognize the reference!).

Again, thanks for all your input I really appreciate everything

How did you like your experience overall? I am considering either going for concierge, hospitality, or photopass photographer - I can't decide! While I do want a career in the travel/hotel industry (specifically Disney) I am an aspiring photographer but it's really just been a hobby of mine as opposed to a career. But I'd still love that experience because I've heard so many phenomenal things about it! what did you go for?

I'm sorry for asking so many questions. I'd really just love as much of a "taste" of the experience before I arrive.
