Same! I discovered it not long after lining up my full-time job.

Hi I'm a CP alum :) Dcp housing has sort of a college dorm vibe if that makes sense lol (you're living with a lot of people in a small space/some ppl are trying to party/some are figuring out how to live on their own finally/mostly everyone is trying to have a lot of fun - stuff like that). During my program, Vista Way had the most of that vibe and Patterson had it the least (it seemed the most like chill and quiet). The others were in the middle. Taking the bus works fine but having a car is awesome. With the bus you must plan around the bus schedule, it takes longer to get places because of other stops/you may have to walk far to get to the bus stop from your apartment. To me the bus was not the ideal form of transport but it worked.

In training they do teach you the hairstyles ❤️

Hi cp alum here :) Toward the end of your program you will get emails about applying to extend your program into another program. So basically you'll be doing a second CP program. Opportunities to stay on with the company as a non cp employee straight from your cp are super random and unlikely. You might get lucky and your location will be looking for a seasonal/part time/full time employee which you might hear about from a coordinator, but that's pretty rare. You can always apply to jobs through the disney careers website and the fact that you have the cp on your resume will help you.

you need at least one semester at a college before you can apply for DCP!

@@mikaylanicole2855 this answer is why I watched this video, thank you!

as far as I know, unless you tell them in your interview you previously turned down an offer they wont know youve even applied before. but even if they do know it wont hurt your chances of being accepted!

You must be at least 18 years old by the time your program starts. Also you must be enrolled in classes and have completed one semester in college to apply.

no! i didn’t have any real experience either

Once Upon a Bron sweet! thanks for the reply 🥺

Check the dcp website for application dates depending on which program you want to apply for. Your hair needs to look like it could naturally grow like whatever color it is.

No lol

yes!

Hi! dcp alum here :) I took a semester off college to do the cp so I ended up graduating a semester later than I would have but I think it was worth it. Getting internship credit for the dcp has to do with your college advisor/major department head. I was an environmental science major and i was a recreation cp. My department head did not give me internship credit because he decided that the job I was going to have wasn't related enough to my major. Secondary to that, I took a Disney sustainability lecture class (it had no homework or tests) and my department head did think it applied to my major but he would not give me credit because he needed the class to have tests to show him I was putting in effort. On the flip side, I had a sorority sister who also did the CP, she was a recreation cp like me, she was a recreation and parks major, she didn't take any classes and she got internship credit. I also had roommates who did the cp the semester after they graduated because graduating on time was more important. If you want to be sure about getting credit, I would go to your college advisor and bring info about the program jobs and classes and ask them what you would have to do while you are there in order to get credit.

It does not - emh are only for resort guests. When my fam came to visit me during my cp i put my name on their room like i was staying with them so that i could go to emh with them. A small trick though - if you are already in the park and night emh start you can stay in the park and go to shops and walk around but you can't go on any rides because that's where they check your magic band to see if you are a resort guest.
