Hello! I know it’s been a little while since this was posted (and from a peek at your channel it looks like you graduated from your DCP- congrats!🥲🎉), but I just wanted to say that your vlogs have been so delightful. Out of hundreds of DCP videos, yours stand out as so lovely, unhurried, and honest. Thank you for sharing your program experiences! Looking forward to applying soon~ 🐭✨

I’ve got accepted 💕 Graduate May 11th for Bachelors and still have to go to college to finish my Masters degree. I had to organize my schedule with my advisor to do all online classes while doing DCP but they said dedicated time off isn’t guaranteed….. how do I request time off?
@sarahkatemurray
@sarahkatemurray 3 ай бұрын
Hmmm so unless you’re in the program where you are scheduled specific days/times for school, there isn’t a way to guarantee time off for classes. You can put in requests off once you start at your location, but most times CPs don’t get their requests. Just depends on your location and leaders!

Hi! I believe they have a program where you are guaranteed specific days or times off based on your classes, but I didn’t participate in it. I would definitely reach out to your rep! They can help set this up for you so you can schedule your classes accordingly 😊

BTW, I know a guy who installed the original tree at Animal Kingdom. It was a real unique tree that looked very similar to the present fake one but when they were craning it in, it broke apart so they went with a fake one modeled almost identically to the broken real one. It would be almost impossible to find a real tree like that again.

I am so scared for that. I will be arriving in August and leaving in January. I'll be coming back to the start of the worse of winter and have to experience it for at least another three months, and then also have nothing to do because I live in a small town, and then go back to school. It's like a completely opposite lifestyle that I am scared I'm gonna feel that.

@@gabriellechouinard3738 I think it has to do with dopamine (stimulation) in the brain, and happens in many situations, both work and vacationers. As long as you know it is normal and goes away, maybe you can view it as a harmless side effect. I suspect anybody who experiences sustained excitement can have it (I did so in a similar manner after working on an Alaskan fishing boat) so Disney guests on KZfaq who are only there for a week or two also say they experience it. Think about the amount of information and stimulation your body experiences then switches to a relative calm and lack of that stimulation. I know all of the KZfaq CRPers who say they experienced it, which is almost all the YT CRPers, later look back on their Disney experience as something they wouldn’t trade so apparently the “post Disney depression” doesn’t affect long term memories of the experience.

Yes and yes! When you leave the company you need to make sure your costume check out is cleared so you don’t get charged for something you accidentally kept! You can check with costuming on that. And I think it’s $5 for a new name tag - I got a new one bc I wanted my university written differently. You can get extras or order new ones whenever at costuming!

The only problem I have for fall is my sister's wedding, where I am the maid of honor. I am definitely not missing it, and was wondering how good they would be with taking five days off. She lives in Minneapolis, so I would need two days already just for travelling back and forth.

So, do you just train ahead of time for these different roles? Also, do you think it is worth bringing your car? I would have to drive from Upper Michigan, so it is like a 24 hour drive. I saw that a parking permit is now like $180. I would like to bring it so I can go to the other parks and explore Orlando, but it seems like it would be so expensive to bring. Before I realized that Flamingo Crossings was your only option now, I wasn't going to bring my car because the other apartments weren't far from where the I-Ride bus stops and turn around, so I could have just walked to the bus. Now the apartments are on the other side of Disney.

And I’m partially covered in tattoos.. I know about the whole ‘look’ and I’ve no issue covering up, though I’m not all too positive if they’d be into some of the work I have done.
