Hello friends I've missed you! My hair is pink but I promise that's still me. I've put a lot of thought into what I want to say and recorded this video in one take because I wanted everything to be expressed naturally and exactly how I feel them. It's been so hard being away from the magic of WDW and I can't wait to experience it again.

disclaimers-
All opinions expressed are my own!
You may notice I tend to look up or off to the side a lot when recording and talking to the camera, I have ADHD so it's hard for me to stay still and maintain eye contact for 15 mins straight, I did not want this video to feel rehearsed or scripted.

not having space to cry and decompress because you have to share a room was one of the reasons I left early too :(

Loved this video ! I finished my program about two months ago and i have serious fomo but also i just needed a mental and physical break. It was always go go go and that is because my home location had good hours compared to others ! My social battery is also not the best and towards the end of my program i could not stay at the parks for more than 4 hours

honestly such a great video, it should be embedded onto every dcp blog/website bc it’s so true! it never made sense to me that we’re expected to work for 8/10/12+ hours a day sometimes 6 days a week and have to share a bedroom with a complete stranger. we have all these adult responsibilities but are treated like children (which a lot of cp’s are but still who in their right mind would willingly share a bedroom w a stranger) i had the same issue as u with my roommate where she was always there and would change her schedule so we would work the same hours. i never slept bc she was a massive snorer. i really feel for you bc another of my roommates was a sunset merch cast member (actually at the same time as you so you’ll know her lol) and has told me horror stories of people being forgotten at the outside cart which never made sense to me bc i worked on the attraction and our roto was a well oiled machine. well obviously diff coords and leaders but still! my roommate would try to give up her coaster shifts tho (no mater how much i begged her not to) bc she felt it was slower paced and she liked the main shops on sunset. i’m not sure if we’ve ever interacted bc i don’t remember a lot bc of sleep deprivation and just being in a bubble of misery all the time from long hours and constant standing and never feeling like i had time to myself. oh god sorry i don’t mean to make your comment section my diary entry for the day, just wanted to say you weren’t alone and hope you’re better off now🖤 i’m going back for summer alumni tho lol i’m not sure what possessed me to apply/accept 🤍🤍🤍

Just looking at their regular job postings and came across the Entertainment Technician job, which, only in PART, entails: "Load and fire pyrotechnics for our nighttime spectaculars". Starting pay? $18/hr. WHAT?! I'm in New England so this is insanely low, but this sounds crazy low even for FL, esp Orlando. Right?

The starting wage for DCP when I joined was $14 an hour on top of $700 + monthly rent taken out of our paychecks weekly

Question about the messy roommate... I read something from a few years back that said there were surprise inspections of the apartments and if you failed you would have a fee deducted from your check? Is that true?

The acceptance from what I’ve seen is pretty high, the occasions people have been denied it seems is from them not being themselves on the questionnaires. I say take the opportunity as soon as you feel ready you don’t have to be in any classes to do it!

Well this sucks I heard news that there are 7,000 layoffs. Absolutely ridiculous my thoughts are in your prayers and to all the cast members.

Awe thank you ❤️ I saw a disclaimer that front line workers aren’t being affected so I hope that remains true for my friends still in WDW

Did they offer a more private room exchange? I heard from a former cast member that about 20% leave early.

There are private rooms at flamingo where you share your apartment but have your own room. This past summer when I was a CM, the difference in rent between 2x2 and 4x2 apartments was like $20 extra per week but rent changes annually. I was also able to request days off whilst I was there - maybe it was because my location was heavily overstaffed so it was easier to get time off but my friends who also requested the same days in their roles were unable to get them off but would swap shifts to make it work so it all depends on the person, role, location, staffing, etc.
