If I were to apply, I'd love to do bibbidi bobbidi boutique or children's activities because I love working with kids and I'm studying to become an elementary teacher. Sad that those jobs can be trickier to get though 😭
my application got rejected just 3 days after i submitted 😞 really got me down as ive been looking forward to doing the dcp for YEARS. guess ill keep this in mind for next years application. thanks Bron, you're the best.
SA 2018 Front Desk Alumni here! TOTALLY spot on regarding Front Desk. It's a very fulfilling job and the leadership is absolutely immaculate. Plenty of opportunity to create magic! A lot of pressure with upset guests, but it makes for great stories! Depending on location you can have the opportunity to be cross trained in bell services (as a greeter) & runner. Runner gives you the opportunity to log packages, deliver amenities to guest rooms, pick up amenities from other locations across Disney World property (including entering the parks mid-shift!), assisting with guest room key services, etc. Front Desk was THE BEST role ever--especially being in the AC the majority of the time! A lot of fun, definitely a top pick.
I’m really really hoping I get to do the DCP! I’ve still got a little time before I’m able to apply but it’s an actual dream of mine and I LOVE the disney parks so much! I really want to work attractions, specifically a “performing” attraction such as Jungle Cruise. I’d also love to be a tour guide because I love trivia and little details and am lowkey a know-it-all and would adore being able to share info about something I love with different groups daily! Though I honestly don’t know if that’s available through DCP.
Afailed aesthetic Yes those kind of roles are possible, as are roles like Safari if I am not mistaken. Also domestic students can work the trams and I got parking operations for Spring 2020 so that is possible. I just think you have to have a valid driver’s license and be able to know long spiels. To me, my phone interview felt highly indicative of what roles they were considering me for. I was dreaming about this 5 years before I applied, interviewed and got selected. So I have been in your shoes and let me tell you you can do this! Go for it! Keep watching application tip videos and bring all your sparkle & determination love! Your comment made my day better as I was worried about if I won’t like my role, but I remember being in your shoes and now I’m crying again! I’ve cried so many times because I am so happy my dream came true. “No matter how your heart is grieving... if you keep on believing... the dream that you wish will come true” ✨
This video makes me so grateful for all the people doing the "less desirable" jobs that many of us do not want, but are completely essential for the beautiful Walt Disney World park to run! So thank you to all the wonderful people!
i’m far away from being in college but I’ve always wanted to do this program and work at tower of terror because everyone tells me I have this great resting face that matches the whole theme of the ride and I agree haha
I really want to apply in college, and I love acting so I really want to be a character performer, and I also love interacting so I would love to work in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique (I think I spelled that wrong but oh well), or possibly Merchandise. Another role would be Photo Pass, bit its more of a moderate interest of mine. It still will be really fun if I get that role though! I really like pin trading as well. I’m only in middle school, but I really want to do the DCP and I am already researching because it is a literal dream of mine. I have been going to the parks for years and my mom’s cousin did the DCP a few years ago in Merchandise and I have wanted to do it ever since. These videos are amazing and I think you are super cool! I definitely wanna watch all of your videos on the DCP!
I was a Monorail CP for Spring 2020. Cps don't drive unless you extend your program. (They do let you do a victory lap after you pass your assessment so we do get to drive once! We do a lot of audience control at night and we work the platforms in the morning which means we'd help guest get on/off the monorail, alert the pilot to when its okay to shut the doors, and dispatch the monorail when it is ready to leave.
How long did it take for you to hear back after your application was received? I submitted mine last night and I’m already stressed because all it says is “application received”
@@shannonbc1029 This might not be much help, but I submitted mine the first day the application dropped and I'm still waiting. Most everyone will say that everyone moves at different paces! Good Luck with your application!
Courtney Reel thank you, that does help! It just sucks seeing some people get their WBI 20 mins after applying and others waiting for weeks or even months :/ I hope everything works out for you!!! :))
i like the way tyou talk, not snobby but very genuine (and it's not easy for me to find talk-only videos in which i last more than 1min) you're very nice
I love your videos you are honestly one of the few where I can just feel your passion. I'm a Fall 2017 alumni I was a seater at Cape May at the Beach Club and I had the time of my life!!! (So I was there for Hurricane Irma) and that was fun too because I signed up for ride-out crew and all the staff just got to hang out together with the guests and we got to come up with a ton of things to let the guests be able to enjoy their vacation even if they couldn't go to the parks. It was character dining as well for breakfast and whenever I got mornings it was the best because you got to dance with the characters and all the kids. I truly recommend the seater role, you do a lot more than you think!
I’m going to be a senior in HighSchool this year, and i am so excited to apply once I am in college. ( though I probably won’t do it my freshmen year. Just depends) I would love to be a character performer, photopass, or maybe even custodial. Ahh I just love Disney, and it would be so amazing to be able to work there everyday for a few months. I hope I will be able to do it and maybe even twice! Thank you for the video!
hi! this is kind of a weird question, but i was wondering if you need like any professional photography experience to be considered for the photopass role? it was definitely the one that interested me the most out of the ones you described in this video, but i'm not sure if amateur photography qualifies me for that role
In one of her other videos she says that there is no experience needed. She was experienced but she said some people in her training had never picked up a camera.
I was watching the official videos on Disney’s website, and there was a little interview with a CP who did PhotoPass, and she said there was absolutely no experience needed, though she, like you (and me!), did some amateur photography beforehand.
FREAKIN LOVE LIBERTY TREE TAVERN! LOVE THE BONNET! The best part was we got to hang out outside and jump rope with kids and play games in the street by the poop trail
I’m a current CP lifeguard at Yacht and Beach and I love it sooooooo much! But yeah we work really closely with recreation attraction CMs. They do slide operations but I think they’re sometimes also the pool attendants that check the chemicals and whatnot and they also run the gates for scanning magic bands and stuff to make sure only resort guests enter the pool deck.
it makes me very optimistic that you expressed that your friends enjoyed their roles. i’m always nervous that if i happened to go into the program and got a role that wasn’t my top role, i would be still hopeful. :)
@@kaitlyn_kostelnik It went well! Lasted about 25 mins and got a lot of questions pertaining to my top role. The only bad thing was, living in dorms, people like to scream in the hallways a lot so that threw me off a bit, but otherwise very good!
Ill be doing the DCP in around 2 years, and I'm looking to doing the Spring 2022. Anyways, do you have to send your application in as early as you are? It just seems so early for the Fall 2020.
I want to do the program in 2022 and I would want to do the spring advantage or fall advantage. I wish you luck and I hope you get it. I'd love to hear about your experience too!
Don’t be afraid! Just be confident and do your homework Lauren (on how to have the best application). I am about to start my program for the Spring 2020 semester in Orlando. I got rejected the first time and then I went back & did a lot of internet research and watched many UA-cam videos. I implemented all the instructions: you might feel like you are being fake in “being strong with your answer choices” (assuming you make it to the WBI) but that is what you would in a real life interview. If you do not make it, you are not an inferior person. So just go show the best of you and have a supercalifragilistic day ✨
I’m only a freshman but I 100% want to apply when I’m old enough to. I’ve always wanted to work at Disney and hang out with a princess but there are so many other things that I think would be so fun!
I've been trying to talk myself out of the doing the DCP, but your description of photopass is way too convincing haha. I have an interview next week, and the only roles I marked interest in were character attendant and photopass. I've realized since applying I'm only really interested in photopass. Here's hoping!
@Sam Hamilton I actually cancelled my interview the morning of lol. No regrets. Don't think I would have thrived in that environment, and it wouldn't have given me any sort of professional advantage. It's not for everyone.
Do you have to be super familiar with photography in order to get photopass or will they train you from scratch? I feel I would love the role but I don’t know much about photography
Phoebe Alvarado they didn’t offer me the role because it’s been a year since I last went to school for a class I took in photography so they actually are a bit picky.
had my phone interview on the 13th waiting to hear if I get in! hoping for photopass!
5 років тому+13
i know this is an older video, but i am recreation attractions for spring 2020 and my role is spa! so i'll be front desk at a spa. it also includes the fitness centers, slide ops like you said, and the marina :)
One time I was super close to seeing Pooh Bear and didn’t get to meet him and it was the most devastating moment I can’t imagine crushing little childrens dreams like that 😭
I can't apply anytime soon but this was so helpful and got me hyped for roles I wouldn't have put interest in before! I feel less stressed out about getting my top role now :^D
Mei :3 I’ve been wanting to do the program since 4th grade so I feel like I have a head start haha. I still have 5 years until I can apply but I’m excited!
Just stumbled upon this but I was a Fall ‘19 qsfb cp and absolutely loved it! (food and wine festival) and i just got accepted for fall adv costuming and couldn’t be more excited!! i feel like its such an underrated role and everyone in the role absolutely adores their work, so pumped!
Lifeguards at resorts can be deploy trained at other resorts if the management is willing to train you (telling you how the pool is divided between the lifeguards, p much). Doesn't happen often but sometimes locations are short with call-outs and are desperate for extra people so you can get lucky! Once you're deploy trained you can pick up at those locations or trade shifts with people who are trained at your home resort. I always wanted to be deploy trained lmao Attractions also covers crowd control for fireworks and parades (PAC/FW), and theater shows! I genuinely loved PAC/FW but be aware that you might not get a ride if you're going into attractions Children's activities also have to be CPR and first aid trained just like lifeguards are! So it's still a very safety critical role, just no water rescue stuff
I’ll be applying soon for dcp and need a role in AC and an area that would be accommodating to my service dog! Thank you for this video! ❤️ definitely putting down resorts and Bibbidi boppity boutique!!
When I’m older I want to work at Disney now that I have seen these videos. I would want to work outside selling ice cream,somebody who gets you in the park,picture person, or one of the people who help you when you go see Elsa or something that gets you into the area to see her. I would LOVE working outside because I love heat...it’s just so warm!Disney world has given me some of the best expierences.exept for the times I got sick from eating dairy because I’m lactose intolerant.Or when I was scared of the beast like YEARS ago.
I'm applying for my second program, but I did QSFB, and the location was meh, but I loved my hours because I always had overtime, but it was really the coordinators that treated me like their own, and always took care of me that help me finish it. Also, my roommates were the best and knowing that I had them to come home too, made the hard days worth it.
I feel like I should do photo pass because I already somehow end up helping people take pictures when I go to Disney on vacation. One of my first memories of going to Magic Kingdom when I was 12 (my first time EVER) is helping a group of girls take pictures in front of the castle. Then on my senior trip, I took pictures of people in front of the castle 😂
heyitsbailey i didn’t do dcp but I applied for a job there in 2019 and during the interview they will stress the importance of knowing how to do things like braids and asked what hair and makeup I have done in the past. If you haven’t done these before make sure to be educated on tons of different styles !
Ahhhh this video is so informative!! I’m hoping to apply for next spring and i’m trying to figure out what to highlight on my application. Do you have any application tips? I’ve always been interested in the photo pass position (I‘ve been doing photography for a while now) and also attractions. I’m so nervous that i’m not even gonna get an interview
I’m only 13, but I’m already looking into the Disney college program. I mainly want to be a character performer, character attendant, photo pass, or do merchandise . Is 13 too early to be looking into this? I may just be a bit too excited lol
If I could work through DCP, I would definitely wanna be a character performer or costuming!! I know there is no specific role for dancers, but I dream of dancing in the parade! I’ve been a dancer for 17 years so would love character performer and I’m a trained makeup artist and beauty therapist so I would love costuming! 🥺❤️
I have those red Minnie ears with white dots and a black bow I got it in Disneyland in 2017 or 2018 September or something I heard they’re rare now when I went to DisneyWorld last October everyone kept saying they loved my ears and they couldn’t find them anywhere 😊
do you have any keywords to put in your application if you really want to get photopass?? this video was SO HELPFUL! I'm going to be applying for spring 2020 this month!!
If I were to apply, I'd love a guest regulations, tour guide or character attendant job cause I love working with people and I'm like a huge Disney expert and love the characters, or work in the restaurant aspect of Disney cause Culinary is one of my passions. My dream is to work for Walt Disney Imagineering one day.
I’m a history major considering doing this for either Fall 2021 or 2022! I would love to do something with One Man’s Journey in Hollywood Studios to talk about Walt Disney’s history. Which role is appropriate for that particular area?
Has anyone ever been rejected less than 12 hours after doing the PI? I haven't got the rejection email but dashboard says I'm no longer in consideration. It's my first time applying and just wondering how can they decide so quickly when my recruiter said it would take weeks?
cps are almost always character performers because that's where they have the most job openings. Also some of the show performers (ex. Beauty and the Beast at Hollywood) need to be in AGVA (union).
@@briannahwilliams7214 yeah! So AGVA is the American Guild of Variety Actors which is a union for performers. It regulates working conditions and can provide health insurance and stuff for performers (you pay dues to the union for these benefits). Certain performance roles at Disney (I think mainly anyone in a show who has lines or sings - like belle or gaston in the beauty and the beast show) need to be AGVA. I don't know that much about how to join the AGVA union unfortunately, but I'm assuming you become eligible based on jobs and hours of performance or things like that. I don't think you need to be in the union to be background dancers for these shows but don't quote me on that haha
Hi, I really appreciate learning about the various roles you mentioned. I am not in college or university so I don't meet the requirements for the Disney College Program. I am from Toronto Canada and interested in working at a Disney theme park in the United States or a cruise line though. Any help you can provide for my situation ?
I just had my phone interview but I was so nervous I don't think I expressed enough what my top role is. What would you do? Should I email DCP recruiting and express my concerns?
for photo pass would you have to be highly trained in photography?? i think this would be so fun. i know basic photography from high school, but it’s not my biggest focus in school and recreation.
How is the shifts for qf&b outdoor vendor ? I’m just concerned I won’t get like heat exhaustion working long shifts... and knowing I’ll be myself worries me in case I need to use the restroom lol
Hi! I'm looking into applying for DCP in a few years! I was wondering is there a time limit for how long you can be a face character, and can you be a character once you are out of DCP?
Besides fur characters I've heard of CPs being face and parade dancers but it's rare. I think it depends on what's available and if the role is worth putting in the time to train a cp who will only be there for half a year. Also some of the stage shows (ex. Beauty and the Beast at Hollywood Studios or Frozen Live at California Adventure Disneyland) require some performers to be AGVA (union).
I could really see you hanging out with Rapunzel, I think you two seem very similar and would be good friends!
You are so right!! They would be best friends.
definitely!
If I were to apply, I'd love to do bibbidi bobbidi boutique or children's activities because I love working with kids and I'm studying to become an elementary teacher. Sad that those jobs can be trickier to get though 😭
hypertension is definitely high blood pressure but ur heart was in the right place
ugh i love being an idiot
Maybe hyper-attentive instead of hyper-attention? Live love whatever!
lydia or maybe hyperaware?
Im late but hyper-focus (i only know this due to adhd lol)
In 2020 here but just would LOVE to point out the HEART was in the right place with the blood pressure.
The ad before this was a WDW ad, love that lmao 💛

omg 😭😭💘💘✨
Lol same 😂
Star wars resistance ad for me!!

Watching this in 2020! So glad that you got the boutique!!
Just keep taking semesters off and DCP-ing/vlogging pleeeease. Graduate college when you are 47!!!
nothing concerning disney : your smile is so beautiful
I can see you hanging out with Anna and rapunzel!
Awe watching you talk about applying to the boutique knowing you actually ended up there is so awesome! ❤️😭

Just stumbled upon this but I was a Fall ‘19 qsfb cp and absolutely loved it! (food and wine festival) and i just got accepted for fall adv costuming and couldn’t be more excited!! i feel like its such an underrated role and everyone in the role absolutely adores their work, so pumped!
Lifeguards at resorts can be deploy trained at other resorts if the management is willing to train you (telling you how the pool is divided between the lifeguards, p much). Doesn't happen often but sometimes locations are short with call-outs and are desperate for extra people so you can get lucky! Once you're deploy trained you can pick up at those locations or trade shifts with people who are trained at your home resort. I always wanted to be deploy trained lmao
Attractions also covers crowd control for fireworks and parades (PAC/FW), and theater shows! I genuinely loved PAC/FW but be aware that you might not get a ride if you're going into attractions
Children's activities also have to be CPR and first aid trained just like lifeguards are! So it's still a very safety critical role, just no water rescue stuff
I’ll be applying soon for dcp and need a role in AC and an area that would be accommodating to my service dog! Thank you for this video! ❤️ definitely putting down resorts and Bibbidi boppity boutique!!
My bf is doing watercraft I’m low key excited for him but sad he’s leaving (we are from Texas)
Do you know anything about the recreation attractions role? that is the role I have this summer for the cep :)
When I’m older I want to work at Disney now that I have seen these videos. I would want to work outside selling ice cream,somebody who gets you in the park,picture person, or one of the people who help you when you go see Elsa or something that gets you into the area to see her. I would LOVE working outside because I love heat...it’s just so warm!Disney world has given me some of the best expierences.exept for the times I got sick from eating dairy because I’m lactose intolerant.Or when I was scared of the beast like YEARS ago.
I'm starting my DCP in May, your videos literally have me so pumped to get down there omg
I am in my second year of high school and I really want to do the program and planning and taking notes on this,
I'm applying for my second program, but I did QSFB, and the location was meh, but I loved my hours because I always had overtime, but it was really the coordinators that treated me like their own, and always took care of me that help me finish it. Also, my roommates were the best and knowing that I had them to come home too, made the hard days worth it.
Christina Creech what was your location
Parking lot is part of Attrations at Disneyland.
good to know!
DCP Spring 2018 Custodial wooooooo! Great informative video!
I already got NLIC’d this season, but I just love your vids so much!
So like what if u want to do this but your major has nothing to do with Disney like I wanna be a doctor but I want to do this for experience
Disney doesn't care what your major is for applying
I feel like I should do photo pass because I already somehow end up helping people take pictures when I go to Disney on vacation. One of my first memories of going to Magic Kingdom when I was 12 (my first time EVER) is helping a group of girls take pictures in front of the castle. Then on my senior trip, I took pictures of people in front of the castle 😂
If there’s anyone here who knows a lot about costuming pls reply! I just got accepted and I’m so excited but there isn’t a lot of info out there ✌️
I’m interested in applying for costuming! have you started/done your dcp yet?
Katherine Montgomery have you started yet? I would love to hear more of your experiences
This was so helpful!!! Thank you!!
Do you have to be good at hair to do bippidy boppity boutique or do they teach you?
heyitsbailey i didn’t do dcp but I applied for a job there in 2019 and during the interview they will stress the importance of knowing how to do things like braids and asked what hair and makeup I have done in the past. If you haven’t done these before make sure to be educated on tons of different styles !
They will teach you how to do the specific styles you need to do but having experience may help you get the role
Watching this after you've done BBB makes my little heart jump ❤️❤️ and I have question as to how you got that position
Ahhhh this video is so informative!! I’m hoping to apply for next spring and i’m trying to figure out what to highlight on my application. Do you have any application tips? I’ve always been interested in the photo pass position (I‘ve been doing photography for a while now) and also attractions. I’m so nervous that i’m not even gonna get an interview
I’m only 13, but I’m already looking into the Disney college program. I mainly want to be a character performer, character attendant, photo pass, or do merchandise . Is 13 too early to be looking into this? I may just be a bit too excited lol
Jillian Schmidt not too early 💯
thank you so much for making this video!
did you have to have experience with a camera for photopass??
Going to Disney on ice next weekend!!! Ahhh so geeked!!
If I could work through DCP, I would definitely wanna be a character performer or costuming!! I know there is no specific role for dancers, but I dream of dancing in the parade! I’ve been a dancer for 17 years so would love character performer and I’m a trained makeup artist and beauty therapist so I would love costuming! 🥺❤️
I have those red Minnie ears with white dots and a black bow I got it in Disneyland in 2017 or 2018 September or something I heard they’re rare now when I went to DisneyWorld last October everyone kept saying they loved my ears and they couldn’t find them anywhere 😊
do you have any keywords to put in your application if you really want to get photopass?? this video was SO HELPFUL! I'm going to be applying for spring 2020 this month!!
If I were to apply, I'd love a guest regulations, tour guide or character attendant job cause I love working with people and I'm like a huge Disney expert and love the characters, or work in the restaurant aspect of Disney cause Culinary is one of my passions. My dream is to work for Walt Disney Imagineering one day.
what’s the difference between DCP and just working? and if you work as a person on the jungle crew do you get a joke book
The DCP is a college internship
if you are working at a resort, do you still get a card to do into the parks?
Brynne Danielle yes!
I want to hear more about this confectionary... Baking and pastry major in the house ✌
this is a helpful video and you seem like a very nice person. You're also very pretty :) thank you!
I’m a history major considering doing this for either Fall 2021 or 2022! I would love to do something with One Man’s Journey in Hollywood Studios to talk about Walt Disney’s history. Which role is appropriate for that particular area?
Has anyone ever been rejected less than 12 hours after doing the PI? I haven't got the rejection email but dashboard says I'm no longer in consideration. It's my first time applying and just wondering how can they decide so quickly when my recruiter said it would take weeks?
would a performer (like show dancer or parade dancer) be considered a role bc thats what i would want to apart of dcp
cps are almost always character performers because that's where they have the most job openings. Also some of the show performers (ex. Beauty and the Beast at Hollywood) need to be in AGVA (union).
Amanda Perry thanks!! can you explain more about the last part, about the beauty and the beast show please:)
@@briannahwilliams7214 yeah! So AGVA is the American Guild of Variety Actors which is a union for performers. It regulates working conditions and can provide health insurance and stuff for performers (you pay dues to the union for these benefits). Certain performance roles at Disney (I think mainly anyone in a show who has lines or sings - like belle or gaston in the beauty and the beast show) need to be AGVA. I don't know that much about how to join the AGVA union unfortunately, but I'm assuming you become eligible based on jobs and hours of performance or things like that. I don't think you need to be in the union to be background dancers for these shows but don't quote me on that haha
i got FSFB and i'm slightly freaking out because there's almost no videos out there on people's experience 😅
What would stage and parade performers be considered as?
Genaro Estrada
They are entertainment
@OnceUponaBron did you have to have photography experience before you applied for the program?
Do you have a video about mastering the web based interview or the phone interview?
Hi, I really appreciate learning about the various roles you mentioned. I am not in college or university so I don't meet the requirements for the Disney College Program. I am from Toronto Canada and interested in working at a Disney theme park in the United States or a cruise line though. Any help you can provide for my situation ?
what does pin trade mean?
Vanessa Alexander, pin trade is when you trade pins (the decorative ones that you buy at a Disney store and wear on a lanyard) with guests.
I just had my phone interview but I was so nervous I don't think I expressed enough what my top role is. What would you do? Should I email DCP recruiting and express my concerns?
Bri M did u get in??
are you not able to work shows on dcp? like sound or lights for indian jones and beauty and the beast?
Jannah R
If i am not mistaken many roles with those shows are selected from professional, unionized workers
for photo pass would you have to be highly trained in photography?? i think this would be so fun. i know basic photography from high school, but it’s not my biggest focus in school and recreation.
You get all the training you need for the job from Disney :)
How is the shifts for qf&b outdoor vendor ? I’m just concerned I won’t get like heat exhaustion working long shifts... and knowing I’ll be myself worries me in case I need to use the restroom lol
Do the college program people get to hang out and be friends with princesses or characters?
It's rare for a cp to be friends with a face character (princess) but I know someone who was. It depends what jobs have openings when you audition.
Hi! I'm looking into applying for DCP in a few years! I was wondering is there a time limit for how long you can be a face character, and can you be a character once you are out of DCP?
What is the advantage program
How many hours a week for merchandise and how long was the shifts?
it depends on your location.. where I worked I normally got around 60 hours a week.. mostly 11+ hour days
Once Upon a Bron do you turn a profit with this or does most of the money just go to staying there and eating?
I could see you being friends with Belle 😊
Do they not do any performance roles on the DCP? It’s because I do Musical Theatre and assumed people on DCP could do performing xx
Besides fur characters I've heard of CPs being face and parade dancers but it's rare. I think it depends on what's available and if the role is worth putting in the time to train a cp who will only be there for half a year. Also some of the stage shows (ex. Beauty and the Beast at Hollywood Studios or Frozen Live at California Adventure Disneyland) require some performers to be AGVA (union).
How are the hours for character performing? Is it like a morning and afternoon shift?
There are all different shifts depending on the hours of the park or special events like Mickey's Not So Scary.
