Spring 2015 DCP

[courtneylauren]

Well, I know that the vacation planner is usually one of 2 things. They can be in one of the booths right outside the maingate to help people plan and buy tickets. Or, let's say you were to call the WDW number to plan out a vacation, the people that answer could also be a DCP. So you could be in a cubicle working out other peoples vacation plans as well.

And for concierge, from what I know you are typically a front desk resort worker and can bounce around to selling tickets and working convention areas within the resort. Not sure what the diffrence between this and hospitality is though.

I'm going down next month as a Vacation Planner. Your first answer is correct. I will be at one of the 4 parks planning/selling tickets. However, the people that you call for reservations, etc., aren't CPs. At least to my knowledge.

I am going down next month as a Vacation Planner for fall advantage! I will be posting lots about my role on my blog during my program! I have one post up already specifically about what I currently know about the role.

What is your blog?

So what would be everyone's # one thing to do while in Disney

I really want to have some days where I go to the parks just to meet characters!

Agreed! I haven't really meet many characters in my time at Disney

I love meeting characters! I haven't met any in a while though. I've already decided that if I'm accepted I'm going to get an autograph book just for my program so that in like five years or so I can look back to see who all I met while working there!

Great idea! Are you gonna look for room mates or have Disney pick?

I was hoping to find at least one roommate! You?

Same! But then again it would be fun to just meet random people I think I'd want a three bedroom

Good luck guys! Former Spring 2013 CP. Let me know if you need any advice on applying or what they are looking for with the phone interview!

Do you have any advice for the parents
Which hotel is close or should I just stay at a Disney property
Should I plan on staying one day after or two?
Thanks

Definitely a three bedroom! I think anything else would just feel too cramped

 

[littleluncher]

Yes! Hopefully, none of us here will be in a bedroom with bunkbeds! They make the room cost go down but that's too many people in one room for me!

Hopefully on here and on facebook we can all find some good people to room with; I'm still counting down the days until we can apply! 97 days!!!!
