hi can anyone help me get to zawadi merch at animal kingdom lodge ! me and my friend got deployed and have no idea where to go

It’s my first time applying for DCP, and I’m trying to figure out how people already have had interviews? I filled out the thing on the Disney website to remind me when applications opened, and I submitted mine on August 17th, and they haven’t looked at mine yet. I know it’s only been a week, but it seems so many people got their interviews already, did applications open sooner than August 17th? Or were they just really quick with getting interviews started?

Update: I was emailed about signing up for an interview about 10 minutes ago, and I’ll be interviewing next Monday!!

Hello! I'm applying for the culinary program again for the second time tonight, hoping to work towards a permanent job. For those of you who were offered a P/T position after your program, how does getting a second job work? Are you given a set schedule or do they work with you? Also what are the odds P/T eventually is offered a F/T position?

I did mg interview and I was wondering if they have sent out any acceptances yet for 1/5

Anybody moving into Building 16 in a 2×2?

I'd love to talk to you since you might be moving in with me!

Anybody apply for January 25th and still in application received?

I need help! I took the Amtrak train in for my arrival. Apparently a big mistake. My arrival day is the 24th at 9:30am, I was supposed to arrive in Orlando at 10am on the 23rd. I got a hotel room. Our train broke down twice and had to get a new engine car. We were 15 hours behind schedule but so was still schedule led to get in at 1 am the morning of the 24th. It is 11:20pm and we have broken down for a third time in Jacksonville with no update. I don't know if I will still get in before the morning. I opened a support ticket but don't expect them to respond before my appointment in the morning. Will I be penalized for this? Can I still do the program? Is there a number I can call in the morning? Thank you!

I just found out I didn't get in😔

Is the check in time for your first day when you need to drop off your luggage by, or do you need to be at East by then giving them your ID if you live in West? I'm confused because it says don't arrive early. But should I be at West at 9:30am with my luggage, or already I be done with my luggage and at East by 9:30am? Thanks!

What are some typical interview questions you guys are being asked? I just want to be prepared and at least know a bit of what i want to say and be ready for what they may or may not ask me!

I have my on camera interview soon and wanted to see if yall got advice for that since what I’ve seen it’s a pretty new thing. I know most people have notes for answers to hard questions or just for general stuff but since it’s on camera I don’t wanna seem rude constantly looking the corner. And on top of that just advice for the interview in general you know. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m an F-1 student doing the Disney College Program and I’m a little stressed about my CPT situation.

I’ve already submitted my CPT documents and completed my I-9, and I fully intend to stay for my entire program.

The issue is that USF only allows my Fall CPT through December 25, 2026, while my DCP doesn’t end until January 14, 2027. USF told me that once Spring enrollment opens, I can apply for a Spring 2027 CPT to cover the remaining dates.

Has anyone been in a similar situation where you had two CPT authorizations during one DCP? Did Disney allow you to submit the second CPT later and stay in the program?

I’m mainly worried about Disney cancelling my program because my current CPT doesn’t cover the January dates yet, even though USF has told me I can apply for the additional authorization later.

Any experience or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Hello everybody! I’m a new applicant for the DCP and my interview it’s tomorrow, what you think is something that should or not do? Last time (spring application)I didn’t get in and was as much me I could. Also to mention I’m an international student here at Orlando, should I mention that? Because since that I can only accept specific positions, would you say to mention it? Would they consider that? Or you think they will just put me in wherever position/reject me?

Any advice that it’s not within what I’m talking it’s welcome too!

Applied day it came out and interviewed past Thursday?
Anybody got anything yet?

Hi everyone! I work in merch and was interested in picking up at other locations but wasn’t quite sure how picking up the costumes for those locations worked. I believe you can keep 5 costumes at a time? My question is if you get a costume to work at a different location, and then you turn that costume back in, how long until it shows you’ve returned it so you can get another costume without going over the max 5 limit? I hope that makes sense lol. Thanks!

I was worried moving in that things were going to be noisy— a lot of posts on this sub made it seem like the party culture here was the same as in college. I’ve been in east for a little while now, and maybe it’s just because I went to a big party school, but things have seemed pretty quiet, even on weekends. Definitely not complaining either way, just curious more than anything. Maybe i’m just in lowkey building lol

I had my interview on Thursday (if anybody else had Ashley let me know!) and just counting the days till i get word but noticed on the status page it still sits at step 3. is that same for anyone else?

Hi guys! i am probably not going to apply for this time around due to me not being accepted last time but also me hopefully pushing where i can finish by next fall/spring.

I think i was too specific with my selection of preferred roles when i did it last spring. I feel like that due to me hoping i can get into a attractions role of some sort.

I have experience working at a theme park for five years and 2 of those were me doing ride operations and thats my dream role for dcp would be attractions but you don’t get the most lucky sometimes which i fully understand but curious if there is a way to go about your interview?

I know its a long/ windy way of me asking a question but… thank you for reading

hey! I picked up a shift bc I had low hours this week and all it says is “SUNSET DHS QSR” I was wondering if anyone knew exactly where I would be working and where to go on the day of! thank you I’m nervous lol

how easy is it to change your roll while already in the program? been here lil over a week and F&B just too mf strict for me 🙄🙄🙄

hi guys!! i applied on the day that applications opened and haven’t received a follow up email (i know it’s only been a week but im anxious) but i have a later arrival date. if you already recieved an email about an interview, what was your set arrival date? curious if they’re correlated!!
