As of 11:01 today, April 9th, I was officially moved into No Longer in Consideration Status. I cannot conjure the proper words to describe the emotions I'm going through right now. This has been a dream of mine for a very long time and I'm trying not to let bitterness block my perseverance as I will inevitably apply again. The truly heartbreaking part is that I will never know why I was rejected - if it was something I said, did, wrote, or if I was simply pushed to the back of the stack and got caught in the COVID-19 NLIC wave. Despite the outcome, I'm still proud of my interview, I refuse to shy away from the reality that my DCP journey is messy and imperfect and needing at least 4 attempts to get in. I still believe in magic, I have to believe that if I keep working hard, my dreams will come true. Thank you to everyone who's supported me.
Natalie Ever After This is the most heartbreaking news, every minute I watched this interview it seemed like you had it in the bag! I hope for the best for you, I love Disney too and live just an hour away from Disney world. I wanted to do dcp too but couldn’t because of various reasons so your channel has been super fun to watch and see you go for all the opportunities! I hope you keep trying and I know you will achieve your dream!
Wow, I just want to say we are here for you. That is so so so tough and I think it’s so brave that you aren’t shying away from those feelings - they are valid and you have every right to be upset and angry and so so sad. This is unfair and this whole situation with covid -19 is a mess and I’m sorry this is happening. I have to believe that good will come out of this regardless and I’m excited to follow your journey and see the magic that you will continue to make everyday.
Natalie. I’m so sorry. Don’t see this as a setback. I’m sure this has to do with COVID-19 and I understand it doesn’t make it any less heartbreaking. Take this time to come back better than ever. You deserve it. Sending lots of love to you. ❤️
Hey girl! I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved your interview you did so well! I applied for Fall 2020 too and I did really well in my interview and April 9th I also received my NLIC. I’m so sorry because it freaking sucks but just know that it’s valid to feel this feelings and that you keep trying because you literally have such a big Disney personality and I love all your videos. So keep working hard girl they’re people who really appreciate you! :)
I’m so sorry!! As a dcp alum I think you would make a great cast member. With everything going on right now maybe the timing just wasn’t right, you will get your opportunity!
I am heartbroken to report that as of 11:01AM today, April 9th, I was officially moved into No Longer in Consideration Status. There was a wave of coronavirus triggered rejections today, but I will never know if that's the sole reason or if I still wouldn't have gotten in even if the circumstances were different. Thank you for thinking of me, I truly appreciate the support.
You did so good! And it really seemed like the interviewer really liked you and was impressed! I did the DCP last year and it was the most amazing experience! I’m sure you will get an acceptance soon!
I sure hope you're right! Till I get my acceptance though, my fingers will be crossed 24/7... I was so nervous but my interviewer did a fantastic job of being warm and welcoming -- it just felt so easy to open up!
Natalie Ever After I was the same way! I totally thought I had blown my interview and was expecting to get a no but apparently they liked me enough to give the job 😄
not even interested in working w/ disney, but honestly I learned so much about interview skills. you are such a great people-person, thank you so much for uploading this video.
I literally have never seen/met someone as out going and kind as you. Watching you is so inspiring to me, seeing there actually are beautiful people in the world still
This seriously sounds like a PERFECT fit for you! You belong at Disney! She sounded very nice but also like she really liked what she heard from you! You got this!
As a princess party performer, it was really interesting to see you talk about your company, I’ve always wondered how the Disney company feels about those businesses
You’re such an inspiration-right now my job experience is just a fast food job but all of your experiences have motivated me to just keep taking advantage of every opportunity I can!
Girl, you were so prepared and I envy you for that. I totally winged my interview and started trying to “prepare” an hour before while I was at work (I did the interview on my lunch break) and was so nervous I almost just missed the call on purpose because I was so unprepared 😂 (I didn’t miss it though- I got accepted 3 days after my phone interview so I must’ve said something right!)
AAAAAAAA!! This was so cute and fun to watch! Seeing how you and your interviewer showed the same amount of enthusiasm and really vibed off one another just gave me so much hope! I really hope your dreams come true girl!!! Keep chasing that Disney magic and slay!
AAAAAAA!!! right back @ you :) My interviewer was honestly amazing and I couldn't have asked for a nicer person to interview me. She was phenomenal and I really loved that she let me talk on my interests rather than a formulaic, typical DCP PI. Fingers crossed!
Oh my gosh you were at the audition day I went to!! You absolutely CRUSHED it and were so kind and energetic! It was wonderful getting to go through the process with you and I hope to see you at Disney soon!
This gave me so much secondhand nervousness for you ahh! SO SO exciting and I really can't wait to keep watching your journey! And thanks for sharing this its so incredibly helpful and I know I'll go back to this when I apply!! You go Natalie!!!
I feel anxious anytime when I watch these PI videos online too! But don't worry, the big scary Disney recruiter can't hurt you, haha. I'm sure you'll do great on your app too btw!
As a past CP and also past part-time CM, and also the spouse of a two-time full-time cast member I just had to come here to say you NAILED THAT INTERVIEW!!! You did so well, and you would make an amazing cast member!! I wish you all the luck and will definitely be keeping my eye on your channel for updates!
I know I'm late but... Wow, that's so lovely to hear - as a fellow Disney enthusiast, there's no better person that compliment could come from! Thank you. Unfortunately, I received my NLIC today, the heartbreaking part is that I don't have an explanation and will never know if I was rejected solely because of the coronavirus pandemic or if I still wouldn't have got in, even if the situation were different. Your comment still makes me smile and I am so appreciative to have had your support, I look forward to applying for my fourth time next semester!
@@NatalieEverAfter I'm so sorry! They have released notices saying they are not accepting arrivals AT LEAST through June at this point due to the state of the world. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the parks don't reopen till Fall. With them letting the spring program go early and everything going on right now everything is up in the air even for current cast members. I hope you and your family are staying safe during this time and I wish you the best of luck applying in the future! 💕
@@smallwalletsbigadventures I'm in awe of how you manage to stay so positive, trust me I'm over here taking notes. This is a difficult time for everyone and I totally respect the fact that uncertainty is just a part of the current reality. I hope your adorable cinnamon bun self and your sweet husband are staying very safe. I also hope, especially for your sakes, that the parks reopen soon. Have a magical day! 💕
DCP 2015 Spring Advantage Alumni here!!! You did an amazing job at the interview girl!!! You are definitely getting picked! I remember when I was researching the phone interviews, I had like 2 huge packets in front of me when I did my interview and all I could think was "BREATHE! OWN IT LIKE YOU HAVE THE JOB IN THE BAG" Please let us know the results!!! Once again You did an amazing job girl!!
The encouragement means so stinking much coming from an Alumn, thank you! Like you, I know it's hard not to get frazzled when Disney means so much to your life. Fingers crossed I get a slice of the magic too :)
You've got this, Natalie!!! She sounded so impressed with you. I really have high hopes for you with this opportunity. Wishing you all the best, love!! Good luck!!
Ok you’re the perfect cast member!!!! It’s been a month and a half since the end of my program and it was 100% sure the best time of my life! I wish I could apply for full time but I can’t cause I don’t have a green card lol anyway this video made me so happy! Good luck spreading magic! I hope you have a program as amazing as mine ♥️
I just got accepted for Fall as costuming I’m SO excited, I’m dreaming to get entertainment. Hopefully if you get Character Performer I’ll get to help you get ready to make magic!! ♥️✨ Also your interview was AMAZING!! Like wowowow, I absolutely loved how she structured this interview and the question she asked about your top role. And you handled it like an absolute champ. You’re going to make an INCREDIBLE cast member!!
AHHHH CONGRATS GIRL. I'm so happy for you. Costuming sounds like so much fun especially when you have such a positive attitude like you obviously do! Now I've got another reason to want to get in even more -- to meet you :)
Idk why but this made me super emotional. I feel like I just got to experience a pivotal moment in your life. I know that you’ve got this & I can’t wait to see where this journey takes you!
I literally watched your videos the other day and we actually had the SAME interviewer and she was amazing!! I'm so glad that I wasn't the only one who slightly panicked about the different interview format!
the interviewer seemed so impressed by your experience and optimism. you’re doing incredible! whether you get in or not, remember we all are cheering you on and believe in you no matter what you are doing or where you are.
You have been so lovely and patient with me and so I wanted to personally tell you, thank you for all the support and positivity you've shown me. Unfortunately, I received my NLIC today, the heartbreaking part is that I don't have an explanation and will never know if I was rejected solely because of the coronavirus pandemic or if I still wouldn't have got in, even if the situation were different. Your comment still makes me smile and I am so appreciative to have had your support, I look forward to applying for my fourth time next semester!
For the next time I would focus more on listening to the questions and not trying to fit in every thing you had planned. For example, she seemed to want to know more about food service but you talked a lot about acting. and don’t mention you have watched the videos of other interviews (they say on the website not to watch them). I got in and I think what helped me is I talked about how I wanted to work for the company (I mentioned stuff from my marketing textbook like every role a staring role) they get a lot of applicants calling in talking about how much they love Disney movies and the parks etc. but I think my focus on how it worked as a company to work for not just one to buy from helped differentiate me.
I just finished the Disney College Program, and as a previous Cast Member, I just want to say that you absolutely nailed this interview! You could honestly be hired for any of those roles, but I do hope you get your dream role! Wishing you all the best on this Disney journey. They'd be crazy not to hire you (:
Dude! That was completely awesome! You totally got that job! So much amazing prep! I actually work at Chick fil a and it is intense, a fun great job, big yah it requires you to be very dedicated and they expect a lot of you!
Natalie Ever After Yes! Fast food in general is tough! Y’all gotta be people pleasers or really good at faking it to survive. 😅😂. How’s the princess life going Natalie?
It seems like Ashley is highly interested in you, in fact, looking forward to work with you in DCP. I’m sure that Ashley’s interviewed a millions of DCP hopefuls all of the time, who are talkative out of nervousness. Girl, you sounded so relaxed & put together as if you didn’t read off of note cards. That’s wonderful that you empathized your enthusiasm to work in the Disney company for the rest of your life, & you impressed Ashley with not only all of your work experiences, but how you impressed your clients in your company. You have to show off your skills, talents, & how you dealt with situations in your past work experiences. Disney wants employees to be enthusiastic about their company, who are dedicated to their company. Employees, like you real soon & they better accept you, who make Disney look amazing. BTW... Fun fact! My cousins, sister & I have been to Walt Disney’s burial site in Glendale, CA’s Forest Lawn. Not to be weird, but I’ll pray for you that you will be showing a video about your acceptance into DCP soon. I’ll in fact ask Walt Disney to pray for you to get into DCP. Good luck, Kiddo! ❤️
just a psa to others going through their PI: the phone interviews are typically not this long!! I'm currently a CP in entertainment on my extension and my phone interview was 15 mins. I know my housemates also didn't have extremely long interviews either, with the average being about 20 mins!
True! There's no one way a person get's into the program. This is my third time applying and each experience has had a different timeline, I can only imagine the same holds true with the PI. Just have a positive attitude and trust in the process, 10 minute or 20 minute interview, you can do this!
I had Allie as my interviewer too! I just got my acceptance for Fall 2020 Merch today! Sending all the pixie dust your way and hope I get to see you around the parks!
Omg I applied for DCP FALL 2020! My timeline is SO similar to yours! Your interview went to well, omg! There is no way you’re getting a NLIC! You got this girl!!!
Ahh! super happy for you, this comment makes me feel a little better since I didn't get in during today's wave. Still sitting on the edge of my seat, hbu?
I loved watching this video so much! It really helped me prepare for mine back in February. I really don’t understand how someone like you didn’t get into the program. I am so sorry but I know that Disney will definitely be missing out without you.
If you don't get BBB as your role or don't get accepted in general, there is something wrong with Disney! You crushed that interview. This also help me so much prepping for my interview which is tomorrow! Thank you and I hope you get BBB!
My phone just randomly hung up during my interview towards the end. I almost threw up. But he called back! I apologized profusely and he put me through to the waitlist! Very good sign and very much a next step! Keep me in prayer that I will officially get a spot!
THIS MADE ME SO EXCITED FOR MY INTERVIEW!!! you have so many of the same interests/experience as me and it made me so happy to see someone talking about passion for performing and playing a part!!
CONGRATULATIONS!! Omg that's such an honor! They love you! I have my interview tomorrow so I hope I get to meet you in Disney World in the Fall! Watching yours helped calm my nerves so much. Good luck Natalie!
YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB!! I was so happy watching this, I think you will def get it!!!! Honestly, seeing you so excited and giggly made me smile so much. It reminded me of an interview I had, which was also pretty unconventional, and then asking the store manager for a little hug because of how happy I was hahaha.
You all have been so lovely and patient and so I wanted to personally tell you, thank you for all the support and positivity you've shown me. Unfortunately, I received my NLIC today, the heartbreaking part is that I don't have an explanation and will never know if I was rejected solely because of the coronavirus pandemic or if I still wouldn't have got in, even if the situation were different.

@@NatalieEverAfter Never give up! I strongly believe that everything happens in its time. There are purely MAGICAL things in store for you. I truly think that with COVID-19 having the effect that it did on the Disney company, they may be pushing this spring's DCPs to the fall to still give them a chance. That in NO way means your chance is gone. Your persistence will show them just how passionate you are about this opportunity and about the Disney company as a whole. No princess or prince ever gets things easy. This is just further proving that (in my best Julie Andrews voice) you, my dear, are a princess. 👸 ❤ So much love and support to you, always! ❤
Literally just cried happy tears at how happy you were after the interview!! You’ve got this! I did the SA 2012 and this was the greatest adventure of my life! Definitely take advantage of those lectures you can go to, and explore the parks so much to the point where you can fully explain how to get to a certain location for families looking for it.
I'm so happy I could put a smile on your face too! Disney is my favorite thing in the world and a huge goal of mine, I can't help but be happy talking about it :) Also; thank you so much for the tips, definitely will put them into use if I get in!
You are such a gem! I am SO impressed you run your own princess company, amazing! It was so much fun to watch not only your amazing energy but how your recruiter was so engaging with you and truly made it a conversation. Subscribing so I can see your amazing Disney journey I KNOW you will embark on!
Hahahaha dude I had a broken phone when I had my phone interview so I accidentally hung up when they first called! I almost cried but they left a voicemail they'd call back in 15 mins 😂 my friends were laughing while I died on the inside! I hope you get in!! My college program was the best experience of my life & I'm currently president of the Disney Alumni Association club at my college! ☺️
You are absolutely the perfect stereo typical cast member. I really think that Disney is just going through a huge change right now because of the virus situation. I am sure that if you were applying in a time that was not this crazy, you would totally get in. You seem like the sweetest person. I hope all your dreams come true soon.
Out of curiosity, what kind of background did you have/talk about with your interviewer that you felt helped you get bbb (congrats by the way!)? I notice most of the applicants end up in quick service and retail jobs as they need to be filled first, so I’m wondering if they do put people with specific talents in other places like the boutique if they really have the experience.
@@Anaconda_Jesus I actually have some experience that would place me in bbb! I was a dance teacher and a babysitter. For years, I've worked with children, especially young kids, and have taught them or led them in activities. I've done pageants and theater, so I have a lot of experience with hair and makeup. I hope this helps! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask!!
Julianna Meyer That absolutely makes sense. Thank you so much for answering. I don’t have quite that much experience but I do have a lot that I didn’t think to include in some of my responses, wish me luck!
SISSS we applied for the same roles!!!! I hope you get it!!!! I have my phone interview soon I'm so excited and your interview was soo amazing!! Great job!!!!!!!
not only one of the best disney interviews but this is an amazing job interview in general that many people could learn for. i know it was just your nerves but you said "coherent" think you meant cohesive. Good luck! I hope you get it!
Girl. Idk why, this made me cry. You embody Disney, and I think you’d be AMAZING in any role. And if they don’t take you, I think Disney is really missing out on a wonderful employee !!! 💜💜💜
Just had my phone interview!! We applied for some of the same roles! Loved to hear about your preforming background and your love to work with kids! Hope you get in!!
I honestly have only been watching your videos for a week or two and I absolutely love your videos and I feel like I connect with you because we are so close in age and I absolutely love Disney!!! I hope you get this job because I can see that you sincerely love what you do and want to do it long term!!! Best wishes, darling!!! ~Bethany
As a FGIT at DL, I LOVED watching this!!!!! You are so magical and show all the characteristics of what it means to be a Fairy Godmother in Training! Wish you were on the west coast so we could be fairy friends!
Good luck! I applied and haven't gotten an interview, but I'm very happy to hear that someone like you did! It gives me encouragement. If I do get an interview I'll definitely rewatch your video for tips!
Had my phone interview two weeks ago and that's about how I felt once it was over as well! (probably why I'm seeing your video being recommended to me now lmao) Best of luck dear, if Disney doesn't hire you they are MISSING. OUT.
As of 11:01 today, April 9th, I was officially moved into No Longer in Consideration Status.
I cannot conjure the proper words to describe the emotions I'm going through right now. This has been a dream of mine for a very long time and I'm trying not to let bitterness block my perseverance as I will inevitably apply again.

Hey girl! I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved your interview you did so well! I applied for Fall 2020 too and I did really well in my interview and April 9th I also received my NLIC. I’m so sorry because it freaking sucks but just know that it’s valid to feel this feelings and that you keep trying because you literally have such a big Disney personality and I love all your videos. So keep working hard girl they’re people who really appreciate you! :)
I’m so sorry!! As a dcp alum I think you would make a great cast member. With everything going on right now maybe the timing just wasn’t right, you will get your opportunity!
Honestly if disney doesn't hire you they would be missing out! on a great cast member because you definently have the disney spirit💕
The interview sounded like it went amazing btw
That means so freaking much to hear, thank you :) I'm getting all emotional!
Sweet Chi she does, doesn’t she 😍
If you don't get it I honestly don't know who would!!
Ahh, my heart skipped a beat - thank you!
The interviewer told you not to worry. I'm pretty sure that's a good sign! She was a fantastic interviewer.
Ally/Allie was the absolute best, I was very lucky to get to talk to her!
I know she wrote on notes “if you don’t accept her I quit”
DUDE, I laughed so hard- ty!
YOU NAILED IT! Are you kidding me?! That was absolutely amazing, if I was them I’d accept you immediately!
Aww, that's so kind of you to say - I sure hope they agree :)
This video triggered my fight or flight
You did great btw ✨
I FEEL THAT. The phone ringing and hanging up will forever haunt my dreams
@@NatalieEverAfter HAHA! I literally laughed out loud
Natalie Ever After you did very well.
@@NatalieEverAfter GIRL. When that happened, I felt like it was me and I couldn't breathe until the women started talking 😵. Btw you KILLED it.
GIRLLLLL YOU GOT THIS!!!! You are the sweetest cutest bean and Disney would be SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU!! 💗💗
This coming from the most beautiful bean on this side of Atlantica.......
I agree with her, you are so very such a sweetest and you are so pretty 🥰💗✨
Girl, we're dying for an update!!
And sadly we’re going to have to keep waiting because of the virus
@@lesIy yep! 🥺

Natalie Ever After you did AMAZING in your phone interview, sadly it was just terrible timing for everyone.
Wow I’m taking notes on how to interview for any job position. This interview was impeccable!
She didn't get the job sssssoooo...
@@NMSUbanwagon if you watch some of her other videos, she likely didn’t get it because of the dance.
i got so nervous when the phone starting ringing ahhh!!! also ive literally binged your videos all day today! so cute!!
That phone ring will haunt my dreams forever, but at least it turned out all right in the end!
You did so good! And it really seemed like the interviewer really liked you and was impressed! I did the DCP last year and it was the most amazing experience!
I’m sure you will get an acceptance soon!
I sure hope you're right! Till I get my acceptance though, my fingers will be crossed 24/7... I was so nervous but my interviewer did a fantastic job of being warm and welcoming -- it just felt so easy to open up!

Ik right!😂
I want to be in dcp so bad! I'm obsessed! I'm a Disnerd!😂
Aww, thank you! I hope this helps you nail your next interview, you got this :)
This is by far one of the best interviews I've seen for the DCP. Very well done. I'd be shocked if you didn't get accepted.
Aww thank you & I hope you're right! I still haven't heard back yet and I'm getting more anxious by the day,
I literally have never seen/met someone as out going and kind as you. Watching you is so inspiring to me, seeing there actually are beautiful people in the world still
Okay my heart entirely skipped a beat reading this. You are so sweet. I'm inspired right back :)))) you deserve all the smiles
Definitely going to make some note cards because sometimes my memory isn’t best under pressure.
I'm the same way, you got this girl!
AquaGamer1212 first time I see that method but it’s a super good idea !!!
This seriously sounds like a PERFECT fit for you! You belong at Disney! She sounded very nice but also like she really liked what she heard from you! You got this!
Awww you’re the cutest.....my fingers are crossed for you!!!
Ahhh, thank you - glad we're both on top of that haha :)
I totally see you doing well in the Boutique!!! I had a blast being a part of it. Excellent first question that you asked her!!! Nice!
BBB is a dream, I only hope I can live up to the Fairy Godmother in Training reputations!
As a princess party performer, it was really interesting to see you talk about your company, I’ve always wondered how the Disney company feels about those businesses
i would be extremely confused if you didn’t get in! you are so amazing and just watching this made me get extremely emotional😂💕

I wish I could apply for full time but I can’t cause I don’t have a green card lol anyway this video made me so happy! Good luck spreading magic! I hope you have a program as amazing as mine ♥️
I just got accepted for Fall as costuming I’m SO excited, I’m dreaming to get entertainment. Hopefully if you get Character Performer I’ll get to help you get ready to make magic!! ♥️✨
Also your interview was AMAZING!! Like wowowow, I absolutely loved how she structured this interview and the question she asked about your top role. And you handled it like an absolute champ. You’re going to make an INCREDIBLE cast member!!
AHHHH CONGRATS GIRL. I'm so happy for you. Costuming sounds like so much fun especially when you have such a positive attitude like you obviously do! Now I've got another reason to want to get in even more -- to meet you :)
How long did it take to hear back?
Good luck!! I applied 6 times and finally got in this last time and I’ll be in for fall 2020 attractions! You’ve def got this🥳
Idk why but this made me super emotional. I feel like I just got to experience a pivotal moment in your life. I know that you’ve got this & I can’t wait to see where this journey takes you!
Aww, lowkey that's pretty much what it was. Thank you so much for sharing this moment with me!
you seem like a perfect candidate! i hope to see vlogs of your dcp very soon!
I would love nothing more than to make dcp vlogs for you guys!
I literally watched your videos the other day and we actually had the SAME interviewer and she was amazing!! I'm so glad that I wasn't the only one who slightly panicked about the different interview format!
IMO this is the better interview format, it felt a lot more genuine. I love her!
the interviewer seemed so impressed by your experience and optimism. you’re doing incredible! whether you get in or not, remember we all are cheering you on and believe in you no matter what you are doing or where you are.
You are so getting accepted! Of ALL the interview videos I’ve ever seen, yours hands down has been the best !
What, that's so flattering - thank you!
Natalie Ever After I keep coming back to your channel for an update😂 I’m excited to see an acceptance reaction video ! 🤗
You have been so lovely and patient with me and so I wanted to personally tell you, thank you for all the support and positivity you've shown me.
Unfortunately, I received my NLIC today, the heartbreaking part is that I don't have an explanation and will never know if I was rejected solely because of the coronavirus pandemic or if I still wouldn't have got in, even if the situation were different. Your comment still makes me smile and I am so appreciative to have had your support, I look forward to applying for my fourth time next semester!
For the next time I would focus more on listening to the questions and not trying to fit in every thing you had planned. For example, she seemed to want to know more about food service but you talked a lot about acting. and don’t mention you have watched the videos of other interviews (they say on the website not to watch them). I got in and I think what helped me is I talked about how I wanted to work for the company (I mentioned stuff from my marketing textbook like every role a staring role) they get a lot of applicants calling in talking about how much they love Disney movies and the parks etc. but I think my focus on how it worked as a company to work for not just one to buy from helped differentiate me.
I just finished the Disney College Program, and as a previous Cast Member, I just want to say that you absolutely nailed this interview! You could honestly be hired for any of those roles, but I do hope you get your dream role! Wishing you all the best on this Disney journey. They'd be crazy not to hire you (:
This seriously means a lot coming from an alumni! Thank you. Fingers crossed I get a little piece of the magic too, haha :)
I love this for you, I remember watching your audition “fail” and feeling that heartbreak for you!!!
Dude! That was completely awesome! You totally got that job! So much amazing prep! I actually work at Chick fil a and it is intense, a fun great job, big yah it requires you to be very dedicated and they expect a lot of you!
Thank you! Chickfila standards are super intense, only means I respect people with the cajones to work there even more.
Natalie Ever After Yes! Fast food in general is tough! Y’all gotta be people pleasers or really good at faking it to survive. 😅😂. How’s the princess life going Natalie?
It seems like Ashley is highly interested in you, in fact, looking forward to work with you in DCP. I’m sure that Ashley’s interviewed a millions of DCP hopefuls all of the time, who are talkative out of nervousness. Girl, you sounded so relaxed & put together as if you didn’t read off of note cards. That’s wonderful that you empathized your enthusiasm to work in the Disney company for the rest of your life, & you impressed Ashley with not only all of your work experiences, but how you impressed your clients in your company. You have to show off your skills, talents, & how you dealt with situations in your past work experiences. Disney wants employees to be enthusiastic about their company, who are dedicated to their company. Employees, like you real soon & they better accept you, who make Disney look amazing. BTW... Fun fact! My cousins, sister & I have been to Walt Disney’s burial site in Glendale, CA’s Forest Lawn. Not to be weird, but I’ll pray for you that you will be showing a video about your acceptance into DCP soon. I’ll in fact ask Walt Disney to pray for you to get into DCP. Good luck, Kiddo! ❤️
Who else keeps checking back for a title update? 🙌
Mollie mee
still waiting lol
@@carolinewaldman me too! :(
I still haven't heard back, but it's so sweet that you care enough to keep checking!
@@NatalieEverAfter thank you for the update! I imagine you won't hear much with the current situation 😭 we're still rooting for you!!
You did an incredible job!! I am putting out all of the good vibes that you will get the job ❤️✨ Disney would be stupid not to hire you xxx
Why was I as nervous as you 😳😂 I just think you deserve it & I’m wishing you the best 💖✨
That's exactly how I feel when I'm watching these videos! Fingers crossed though :)))
just a psa to others going through their PI: the phone interviews are typically not this long!! I'm currently a CP in entertainment on my extension and my phone interview was 15 mins. I know my housemates also didn't have extremely long interviews either, with the average being about 20 mins!
True! There's no one way a person get's into the program. This is my third time applying and each experience has had a different timeline, I can only imagine the same holds true with the PI. Just have a positive attitude and trust in the process, 10 minute or 20 minute interview, you can do this!
I had Allie as my interviewer too! I just got my acceptance for Fall 2020 Merch today! Sending all the pixie dust your way and hope I get to see you around the parks!
You have the personality of a Disney princess haha
your smile makes me so happy and you're so beautiful! I really hope you get this 💗💗💗
Aww, that's the best compliment ever!
Omg I applied for DCP FALL 2020! My timeline is SO similar to yours! Your interview went to well, omg! There is no way you’re getting a NLIC! You got this girl!!!
Ahh! super happy for you, this comment makes me feel a little better since I didn't get in during today's wave. Still sitting on the edge of my seat, hbu?
I loved watching this video so much! It really helped me prepare for mine back in February. I really don’t understand how someone like you didn’t get into the program. I am so sorry but I know that Disney will definitely be missing out without you.
This is the best interview I have ever seen in my life.
Blushing hard over here :)
Natalie Ever After I’m sorry you didn’t get in, I 100% believe it was because of Covid-19. :(
If you don't get BBB as your role or don't get accepted in general, there is something wrong with Disney! You crushed that interview. This also help me so much prepping for my interview which is tomorrow! Thank you and I hope you get BBB!
My phone just randomly hung up during my interview towards the end. I almost threw up. But he called back! I apologized profusely and he put me through to the waitlist! Very good sign and very much a next step! Keep me in prayer that I will officially get a spot!
THIS MADE ME SO EXCITED FOR MY INTERVIEW!!! you have so many of the same interests/experience as me and it made me so happy to see someone talking about passion for performing and playing a part!!
YES BEEB, you're gonna do great!
Yes girl! It’s always been my dream to work for Disney and I’ll be eligible to interview this summer!😁😁 Wishing you the best on your Disney journey!💕
CONGRATULATIONS!! Omg that's such an honor! They love you! I have my interview tomorrow so I hope I get to meet you in Disney World in the Fall! Watching yours helped calm my nerves so much. Good luck Natalie!
Aww I'm glad I could help you feel calm, I obviously know how nerve-racking that can be! Good luck :)
YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB!!
I was so happy watching this, I think you will def get it!!!!
Honestly, seeing you so excited and giggly made me smile so much. It reminded me of an interview I had, which was also pretty unconventional, and then asking the store manager for a little hug because of how happy I was hahaha.
I check this video at least 4 times a week to see if "Pending Result" has changed. I can't wait for an update!
Aww, that's seriously so sweet of you :) Still haven't heard anything yet though!
@@NatalieEverAfter I check too. We're all rooting for you. Even if you don't get in we still love you and you'll always be a princess to us.
You all have been so lovely and patient and so I wanted to personally tell you, thank you for all the support and positivity you've shown me.
Unfortunately, I received my NLIC today, the heartbreaking part is that I don't have an explanation and will never know if I was rejected solely because of the coronavirus pandemic or if I still wouldn't have got in, even if the situation were different. Your comment still makes me smile and I am so appreciative to have had your support, I look forward to applying for my fourth time next semester!
@@NatalieEverAfter Never give up! I strongly believe that everything happens in its time. There are purely MAGICAL things in store for you.
I truly think that with COVID-19 having the effect that it did on the Disney company, they may be pushing this spring's DCPs to the fall to still give them a chance. That in NO way means your chance is gone.
Your persistence will show them just how passionate you are about this opportunity and about the Disney company as a whole. No princess or prince ever gets things easy. This is just further proving that (in my best Julie Andrews voice) you, my dear, are a princess. 👸
❤ So much love and support to you, always! ❤
I keep checking back every few days to see if, you got in. I literally have everything crossed for you. I really hope you get it! 🤞🤞🤞
Literally just cried happy tears at how happy you were after the interview!! You’ve got this! I did the SA 2012 and this was the greatest adventure of my life! Definitely take advantage of those lectures you can go to, and explore the parks so much to the point where you can fully explain how to get to a certain location for families looking for it.
I'm so happy I could put a smile on your face too! Disney is my favorite thing in the world and a huge goal of mine, I can't help but be happy talking about it :) Also; thank you so much for the tips, definitely will put them into use if I get in!
You need to be accepted! You did an AMAZING job with the phone interview! I have mine next week and this has help so much!
Ok you KILLED that!!!! go girl!
TYSM!
YOU DID SO AWESOME WOW! I can’t wait to apply for my program next year! Will definitely be using your video as reference!😃
You are such a gem! I am SO impressed you run your own princess company, amazing! It was so much fun to watch not only your amazing energy but how your recruiter was so engaging with you and truly made it a conversation. Subscribing so I can see your amazing Disney journey I KNOW you will embark on!
so exciting! Good luck natalie our princesses will be praying for youuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! I'll take all the luck I can get :)))
Damn you killed it! If you don’t get in they are insane, because this was incredible! Well done!!!
Aww, thank you - i hope they see things the same way! :)
GONNA PRETEND IM NOT MOM CRYING OVER HOW PROUD WE ARE GOOD FOR YOU BBY
THANX MOMMA
Hahahaha dude I had a broken phone when I had my phone interview so I accidentally hung up when they first called! I almost cried but they left a voicemail they'd call back in 15 mins 😂 my friends were laughing while I died on the inside! I hope you get in!! My college program was the best experience of my life & I'm currently president of the Disney Alumni Association club at my college! ☺️
Oh wow, sounds like you handled the situation like a champ. No wonder Disney is lucky to have you!
My heart!!! I hardly breathed throughout the entire interview. You did SO well!!
I just stumbled upon your videos, and you are just such a light in this world. You are so powerful and magical ♥️ keep shining ✨
What, omg! That is such a lovely and warm hearted compliment, I love that :)
You are absolutely the perfect stereo typical cast member. I really think that Disney is just going through a huge change right now because of the virus situation. I am sure that if you were applying in a time that was not this crazy, you would totally get in. You seem like the sweetest person. I hope all your dreams come true soon.
i was just accepted for bbb for fall 2020!! this interview was amazing sending you all the pixie dust!!!
If luck is in my favor, I'll see you there! Hopeful, potential, disney bffs, haha :)
Out of curiosity, what kind of background did you have/talk about with your interviewer that you felt helped you get bbb (congrats by the way!)? I notice most of the applicants end up in quick service and retail jobs as they need to be filled first, so I’m wondering if they do put people with specific talents in other places like the boutique if they really have the experience.
@@Anaconda_Jesus I actually have some experience that would place me in bbb! I was a dance teacher and a babysitter. For years, I've worked with children, especially young kids, and have taught them or led them in activities. I've done pageants and theater, so I have a lot of experience with hair and makeup. I hope this helps! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask!!
Julianna Meyer That absolutely makes sense. Thank you so much for answering. I don’t have quite that much experience but I do have a lot that I didn’t think to include in some of my responses, wish me luck!
Good luck Natalie!! I have faith in you!!
Thank you!!!
Your welcome!!
This is SO helpful! I have my phone interview on Monday and this eases my mind.
Good luck! Sending you lots of pixie dust :)
SISSS we applied for the same roles!!!! I hope you get it!!!! I have my phone interview soon I'm so excited and your interview was soo amazing!! Great job!!!!!!!
Good luck, I hope you get in -- we could even end up working at BBB together :)
@@NatalieEverAfter I got in for Attractions fall 2020! found out on Tuesday WOO!
This brought back all the memories from my phone interview. Good luck, I hope you get in!!
Yay, thank you - so happy to join the disney pi club :)
Oh I really hope you get in, you seem perfect for it! For either a princess or fairy godmother in training, good luck!
YOU ROCKED THIS INTERVIEW!!!!! I’m so proud of you!!!!!! You motivate me to become such a BOSS like you! Thank you so much
I have my phone interview tomorrow and I feel so much better having watched this! You seem like you'd be a great fit!!
I hope it went well, I'm sure you killed it, Emily!
@@NatalieEverAfter Ahh you are too sweet! Thank you so much! I think it went well but this waiting period is stressful, huh?!
not only one of the best disney interviews but this is an amazing job interview in general that many people could learn for. i know it was just your nerves but you said "coherent" think you meant cohesive. Good luck! I hope you get it!
I have mine in 2 hours and this has helped me tremendously, Thankyou!!!!!
Girl. Idk why, this made me cry. You embody Disney, and I think you’d be AMAZING in any role. And if they don’t take you, I think Disney is really missing out on a wonderful employee !!! 💜💜💜
OMG, really?!!?! Thank you, you got me watery-eyed all over again. This compliment means so much to me!
Natalie Ever After absolutely!!! You can tell how much this would mean to you, and how amazing you would be!!! I know you’re gonna get in!!’
Just had my phone interview!! We applied for some of the same roles! Loved to hear about your preforming background and your love to work with kids! Hope you get in!!
You've definitely got it I'm sure!! She was such a lovely interviewer! Good luck! ❤️
She totally was, I'm so lucky I got her :)
She was that one girl so always got a 100 on school presentations 😂
Literally can’t think of anyone else more deserving to be in the DCP than you!! Best of luck and keep staying true to yourself! ❤️
omg I also interviewed with her!
Woot woot She was awesome--the best, right?!
Oh my goodness I got literal chills watching this!! You killed it and I am so inspired by you.
I honestly have only been watching your videos for a week or two and I absolutely love your videos and I feel like I connect with you because we are so close in age and I absolutely love Disney!!! I hope you get this job because I can see that you sincerely love what you do and want to do it long term!!! Best wishes, darling!!! ~Bethany
I keep checking back to see if you made it!
As a FGIT at DL, I LOVED watching this!!!!! You are so magical and show all the characteristics of what it means to be a Fairy Godmother in Training! Wish you were on the west coast so we could be fairy friends!
Good luck! I applied and haven't gotten an interview, but I'm very happy to hear that someone like you did! It gives me encouragement. If I do get an interview I'll definitely rewatch your video for tips!
I'm so excited for you. You 100% deserve this and I'm feeling your positive energy. Good luck!! ❤❤
Positive vibes always win - Disney is all about the smiles :)
Had my phone interview two weeks ago and that's about how I felt once it was over as well! (probably why I'm seeing your video being recommended to me now lmao) Best of luck dear, if Disney doesn't hire you they are MISSING. OUT.
oh wow you have TOTALLY got this!!!!!! you did so so so great!!! disney would be SO LUCKY to have you!
AAAAAHHHHH SOOOO PROUD OF YOU!!!!! You totally got this for sure!!!!
P.s. miss scaring with you!
THANK YOU BABE!
PS I miss your beautiful face too.
