Excited for you😁!!!! My daughter who’s 13 wants to do these programs when she graduates so she just loves these videos!! She’s got awhile but if she wants to still do it when she graduates then I’m fully supporting her!!!!!
Oh really? I wonder why everyone I met in Orlando said it wasn't safe to drink? XD Maybe it's an Orlando thing? or a preference thing? Thanks for letting me know!!
It probably tastes different than people are used to. When I moved to FL from NY it definitely tasted weird but I drink tap water all the time now and I'm used to it. I've also invested in a small 16oz Brita brand water bottle that's helped with the taste. A lot of Florida is also on Wells which are inspected regularly and tested for contamination, but wells are known to and tend to have more bacteria and such in it
Locals who have grown up on it will not become sick from it but if youre not from around there the bacteria in it will affect you. Of course its not bad like flint, but people outof state and even some in state have become very sick from it. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/environment/article148112799.html
There is a small clear umbrella I own and it was pretty cheap! And I usually bring it into the parks scence if there was something like a firework show, I can just look straight trough my umbrella! It always makes my day when its raining, so if you ever see one that may be stong at may be target, I suggest getting it!
Hi Olivia! I found your channel in February of last year when UA-cam recommended your DCP videos to me. I had never heard of the DCP before, and after watching your videos, I applied and was accepted. I did the program fall of 2017 as a recreation cast member at the Y&B Club pool, and I am so happy that I found your channel and found the program. I can’t wait to follow your journey again this summer, and I wish you all the best on your program this time around!
WHAT?! I feel cheated! My roommate couldn't find it in Walmart and I couldn't find any in Publix, so maybe we just needed to go to an actual pharmacy like Walgreens or CVS. Thanks for letting me know!!!
Pseudoephedrine is monitored in Florida for who is buying how much and when because it can be used to make drugs a la Breaking Bad and it's a huge problem. If you go to a Walmart or publix pharmacy they should give it to your after verifying your age/identity :)
Yay! i'm so glad! Definitely make sure to bring scissors too! And command hooks lol (my roommates and I just spent a fortune on those) See ya in 2 weeks!
Hey just a few things to clear up, although it looks like a few other people have already mentioned these in the comments. 1. I've lived in the Orlando area for about 3 years now and the water is safe, it just tastes really bad. I recommend a Brita or other-filter to help with the taste (and it will also take out anything that may irritate more sensitive stomachs, although I really don't think there is anything in it). 2. Pseudoephedrine is sold at nearly all pharmacies, you just have to go to the counter to get it and I believe provide ID so that they can keep track of people who are over-buying (you would have to buy A LOT to set off any red flags). 3. I actually recommend water-proof shoes more than anything else (rain-boots or whatever) because personally, I really hate wet socks. And a small towel to take with you on park days (useful for sweaty-days, water-rides, and drying off benches after it rains). 😊 That was a really extensive list though, I'm sure that it has really helped a lot of people out.
Yayyy!! :D My goal was to say EVERYTHING i'm packing in case people forgot something! I'm glad you found it helpful! Also - See ya real soon! We're going to Disney! Ahhhh!
Hello, I have seen such growth in your presentations and how comfortable you are in front of the camera. I am looking forward to seeing your presentations the 2nd time around with a new confidence with grad school in your future. I am so happy for you 🙄. As I stated long ago, your enthusiasm of your subject matter first drew me to your channel. I live just outside of Disney, (I can hear the fireworks at Magic Kingdom) so I can safely say, our H20 is quirky tasting. It clearly tastes different than filtered water, or soft water and is a challenge to get used to. It is based on a number of chemical processes and amount of minerals that impacts flavor and I still use filtered water for drinking purposes. Speaking of water, we have had hard core rain episodes for over a week and no end in sight. This is not the kind of rain events you saw on your last Disney journey, but cloudy most of the day, actually cooler, as a result, a cool rain and the episodes run over a course of hours instead of a half hour rain event with the sun following up and within minutes it is difficult to tell it even rained. This rain has permeated and dictated changes in what you can and cannot do, in other words, no waiting it out.... just adjust your plans 😉 Make certain you bring several ponchos, and a change of shoes, they have been torrential 😲 In closing, totally off topic, but you look so adorable in Piglet Pink....your enthusiasm is contagious!!! 💞 As in your other channel, you can see how thoughtful and a caring young woman you are and are a inspiration to other young people. I wish you the very best and will be on the lookout upon your return trip to Disney 🌅🎢🎪🏰🚅
This video is amazing! I live in Sweden so I probably never going to the DCP (even though your videos make me wanna!) but I love lists and the hole idea of how organised you are 😅 exited for your upcoming videos!
They didn't have this on my program, but since the Publix is nearby, check out southernsavers dot com for the publix ad. She includes coupons (some are through Publix so no printing required) but it lists everything that is BOGO. In FL you have to buy two of everything to get the sale, but bring a friend and split costs!!! She also has other grocery stores, Target and Walmart deals there as well. Save some money on your program!! :)
Hey Olivia! I recently found your channel and have been binging all your videos! This is the first time I have been here for an upload. I love you and your channel, you are so sweet!! I literally came here from one of your other videos 😂 I’m subscribed, I like every video I watch and I have notifications on!! Keep dreaming out loud 😉
Yay for binging! Thank you so so much for subscribing and turning on notifications! :D I really appreciate your support and I'm so glad that you've been enjoying my videos!
Olivia Simone that’s so crazy they would say that Someplace in Florida have higher minerals in the water so it gives it a different taste but it’s totally safe to consume good luck with your summer college program I’m taking my son to Disney world next weekend for the first time!
Hey! Your videos are really helpful! I'm doing the WDW DCP for the first time and I will be a Character Performer - MG. Any tips specifically for Character Performers? What is the uniform for them?
That is a lot of stuff to bring when you go down to Disney college program. I remember when me and my mom went to Disney world we didn’t know it was going to rain and we had to run into a place to eat 😂. It happens down there. Thanks Olivia for sharing your tips 😊.
Hi! Great video as always 😊 I have a question c: Does working at Disney ruin the Disney magic? Like do you think you'd enjoy it there more if you didn't work there?
I grew up in south Florida and now live in Orlando, the south Florida water is delicious, but the Orlando water, while perfectly safe to drink, tastes awful. at Walmart they sell a britta water bottle that comes with a filter, I use it on a daily basis and it filters out the minerals causing the bad taste. I would suggest just buying one of these, there only about 20 bucks, and then you will never have to worry about transporting water back and forth and can fill up using your sink!
If ballet flats are uncomfortable for you (I can't wear them AT ALL or I get huge blisters) you should check out Crocs ballet flats. They are SUPER comfortable and I have black, gray, and white and that is what I LIVE IN during the warm months at my office. They're very inconspicuous (no one would know they were Crocs if you don't tell them) but are also really comfy. Seriously go try on a pair.
What is the college program ? Do they actually send you to school or am I an idiot LOL or is it what they call there training program like friendly restaurant had friendly college for training.
It's an internship for college students to work full time at Disney! I took a semester off to do the program, but sometimes people take an online class or two during it as well. Disney offers some classes, but not traditional college classes. "Disney College Program" is simply the name of the internship program! :)
Olivia Simone oh that’s awesome! I’m on my program right now! I had an audition yesterday to be a character performer I made it through the whole audition now just waiting to see if I’m extending or not! Watched your audition tip video and it really helped me out! Hopefully we get to meet up when you get down here!!!
What's your MUST PACK item for the DCP? Comment below!
Excited for you😁!!!! My daughter who’s 13 wants to do these programs when she graduates so she just loves these videos!! She’s got awhile but if she wants to still do it when she graduates then I’m fully supporting her!!!!!
That's so great to hear! - both of you! So glad she's got high goals and so glad that you support her!
Hi Olivia!! Local Floridian here, you can definitely drink the tap water :)
Oh really? I wonder why everyone I met in Orlando said it wasn't safe to drink? XD Maybe it's an Orlando thing? or a preference thing? Thanks for letting me know!!
It probably tastes different than people are used to. When I moved to FL from NY it definitely tasted weird but I drink tap water all the time now and I'm used to it. I've also invested in a small 16oz Brita brand water bottle that's helped with the taste. A lot of Florida is also on Wells which are inspected regularly and tested for contamination, but wells are known to and tend to have more bacteria and such in it
It tastes gross if you aren't used to it. I had a Britta pitcher but I also don't mind the taste.
Locals who have grown up on it will not become sick from it but if youre not from around there the bacteria in it will affect you. Of course its not bad like flint, but people outof state and even some in state have become very sick from it.

lol the bottled water In the store in Florida, Zephryhills, is just tap water in a bottle
There is a small clear umbrella I own and it was pretty cheap! And I usually bring it into the parks scence if there was something like a firework show, I can just look straight trough my umbrella! It always makes my day when its raining, so if you ever see one that may be stong at may be target, I suggest getting it!
that's so smart! I'll definitely keep an eye out!

Thanks so much! And have a wonderful time! Congrats on the wedding!

This warms my heart!
your makeup and piglet ears are so so cute!! I’m starting my DCP August 13th so I’ll definitely be referencing this video, thanks for making it!
thank you!
Florida does sell pseudoephedrine. It’s just behind the counter at every pharmacy.
WHAT?! I feel cheated! My roommate couldn't find it in Walmart and I couldn't find any in Publix, so maybe we just needed to go to an actual pharmacy like Walgreens or CVS. Thanks for letting me know!!!

This is EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you so much! Here’s hoping I’m packing my bags for a program in 2019
yay! so glad! Items I forgot to mention were: portable charger, command hooks, and scissors lol XD Sending you pixie dust for 2019!!
Olivia I loved this video! I'm currently on the 2 week countdown for my first DCP and this helped soooo much!
Yay! i'm so glad! Definitely make sure to bring scissors too! And command hooks lol (my roommates and I just spent a fortune on those) See ya in 2 weeks!
Ooh I'll definitely pack those, thanks! Those command hooks can cost a lot sometimes. See you soon! I'll be in costuming!
I really hope to meet you when I visit Disney again this summer
Yes! Definitely say hi if you see me! i'm awkward as can be but it's fun to put a face to the username!

Olivia Simone 😁
Born and raised in Florida the water is fine to drink...
Literally every person I met on the program told me it wasn't XD Glad to know the locals say otherwise!
Olivia Simone that’s so crazy they would say that Someplace in Florida have higher minerals in the water so it gives it a different taste but it’s totally safe to consume good luck with your summer college program I’m taking my son to Disney world next weekend for the first time!
Yeah that's so weird! huh and aw that's awesome! i hope you both have a magical time!!!
Yep I’ve lived in central Florida my whole life and have consumed the Tao water every day!!
Dope Video! Sending blessing your way, Keep inspiring!🎒🙌🏻
Thanks so much! ❤
I did the DCP fall 2016 as well!
yayyy!!! where did you work?
Costuming at Hollywood studios!
You are so Disney ready.
Indeed I am!
Hope you have a great time with no hurricanes. You're so cute! :) Can you do a room tour when you get there?
Thank you! haha I HOPE there's not a hurricane while I'm here! And I did a mini one today but I'll do a more in-depth one in a few weeks! :)
I love your outfit and this is a helpful video thank you.
Thanks so much!
I just binge watched almost all your videos. I'm not going to DCP. I'm too old and I live way to far away. But your videos are great.
thank you! haha and aw man! Well coming on vacation is just as amazing :)
Hey! Your videos are really helpful! I'm doing the WDW DCP for the first time and I will be a Character Performer - MG. Any tips specifically for Character Performers? What is the uniform for them?
I think I got that exact pair of black shoes for my old food service job lol
hahaha my sister ended up getting the same shoes too for her movie theater job hahaha
That is a lot of stuff to bring when you go down to Disney college program. I remember when me and my mom went to Disney world we didn’t know it was going to rain and we had to run into a place to eat 😂. It happens down there. Thanks Olivia for sharing your tips 😊.
My daughters bought me the the Peter Pan shirt before our last trip.
Love your videos
Thank you!!!!
OMG I looooove your ears!!!!
Thank you! I saw them on Amazon and knew I HAD to get them!
Hi! Great video as always 😊 I have a question c: Does working at Disney ruin the Disney magic? Like do you think you'd enjoy it there more if you didn't work there?
Thanks so much!
Olivia Simone Thank you for replying 💖
What did you get for your job assignment?
I'll let everyone know once i've started training and it's official! :)
Hey I have that lanyard!
I love it! I bought two so when this one gets worn out I'll still have a nice one! haha
Love it
Where did you get those piglet ears??😍
Amazon!! The link is in the description box!
Hey! Does Disney require you to wear makeup? I'm doing the fall 2018 program, and I never wear makeup so I was curious. :)
I don't know! I know you can't wear too much but i have no idea if there are rules about the opposite end of the spectrum
Thank you!!! I really love your videos and can't wait for my program!!!!!
We've had some pretty insane weather the last week or so in Orlando, just be warned.
Well.... dang...
Do they make you stay in the housing there even if you live close by? I'm live like 20 minutes away and was thinking about signing up.
Nope! You can opt out of dinsey housing :)

What great info! Thank you for sharing :)
Can I have a smart watch?
yes!
Personally, I really like wearing jewelry to the parks, it makes me feel like my outfits are complete lol
That's awesome! I get stressed when i travel with jewelry and I'm not allowed to wear it to work anyway so I brought the bare minimum haha
It just hailed in fl
oh my goodness..
Michael McElvy where?
