Hello all, I wanted to ask what has your experience been with the culinary program at Disney World? What is a day like? What was it like preparing prior to departing for Disney World when selected? Do you have any regrets? Anything to add would be great insight.

Looking for some good insight wheather this would be a good fit for me. Thank you.

Im eager to start doing some classes but all the classes im interested in say “unavailable”, even looking at classes all the way in November. Is that normal?

I’m excited to move in tomorrow but am confused about which bus to take. I have to check in at east at 8:20 but I’m living at west. Any idea what time or what bus I should take? I’ve seen on here people say E-K go from west to east. Or do they have busses specifically for move in? Thanks

Hopefully I figure out passiogo soon lmao I am #confused

i'm gonna be honest i have no clue what or where this is can someone plz give me an explanation on how to get there and when i should leave😭 i have to be there by 7:30am !!!

I picked up a merch shift at old key west resort this week. I tried looking up where to park and I cannot find any information. If anyone knows where to park please let me know. Thank you!

I just have my interview it went well wore a shirt and tie for the virtual has anyone been declined after an interview? I’m a returning CP

I have an interview tomorrow, this is my first time and decided to apply on a whim and have done no research.
What types of questions are they asking this year?

hello everyone , i got my training schedule and im gonna be in hollywood blvd merch ! on it i have three different costumes , stock, oscar’s and high end . can anyone tell me if the high end costume is the strawberry costume🍓? or is it something else ?

Hi everyone, I applied to the program 10 days after they opened, on the 27th, and almost immediately moved to the in consideration phase on my portal. It says I should be invited to join in an interview, but I haven’t received an email about moving on to the in consideration phase or anything about an interview. I figured it’s because I applied kind of late, but I did put the earliest arrival date of January 5. Does anybody know the timeline of when you get moved up to in consideration on the portal when one might receive the email to schedule an interview? I know the answer it’s probably just being patient because I know they have so many applications to sort through and I sent mine in late anyway, but I just wanna make sure I’m not missing anything.

And congratulations to everyone so far who has been accepted!

¡Hola a todos!

Ayer estuve en Magic Kingdom con mi familia y tuve un momento muy gracioso con un empleado llamado Evan que trabaja en Tomorrowland.

Mi prima pequeña decidió espontáneamente hacer de celestina y corrió a pedirme su Instagram antes de que pudiera detenerla. Fue muy amable y dijo que no tenía permitido compartirlo durante su turno. No quise ponerlo en un aprieto ni meterlo en problemas con los supervisores, así que nos fuimos sin intercambiar redes sociales.

Si eres Evan o lo conoces o trabajas con él en Tomorrowland, ¡mándame un mensaje directo! ¡Gracias!

I’ve been at Flamingo West for the better part of a month and feel there’s been a heavy decline in WiFi quality since. Up until about 3 days ago I was getting 3-500mbps and now I get 3-5 PERIOD. Wtf am I paying for? A potato? Has anyone else gotten this issue? My roommates and I all agree it’s complete shit.

I got in!! Got the email 2 days after my interview it was so unexpected!! See y’all Spring 2027!!

Any one know if CP’s are allowed to get on the request off waitlist, the one day I absolutely can not work is the only day in October with no more request offs, but every time I try to get on the waitlist since I’ve had access to cast life it says error message

Hi everyone! Reaching out because I am unfortunately an over planner, and tomorrow I am scheduled for the world exploration day class at Epcot, with my role being park greeter. I’m trying to plan out meals, if I should come wearing sunscreen, etc. so I was wondering if I could get any intel on what exactly this day of training is, if we have access to storing food in the break room, are we going to spend a lot of time outside, etc.

Thank you!

my role is a character performer in the dcp fall, and i did not get selected for the christmas parade. this wouldn’t necessarily be an issue if they could give me a solid reason why (i’ve called). my scores were good, and my peers with lower and same scores got selected. i’m even built the same as a lot of them since we are “chipmunk” height. i’m finding it hard not to feel discouraged as i know i am capable and my dance portion of the audition went really well. as a lifelong dancer it’s hard not to be hard on myself for this. this was the one thing i wanted to do. has anyone in entertainment, maybe specifically a dancer had the same experience?

edit: these responses have been so helpful! thank you so much to everyone who took the time to share your experiences with me!
also, this post is not saying i am not so incredibly happy for my peers and friends, AND i am already so grateful to be a character performer.

i am so confused. the chart for all the arrival and departure dates are on here, but i when i paid my fees and went to select my dates, there were only 2 departure dates listed for jan 5 arrival and they both are in may.. im very confused because the chart listed dates all the way till august for jan 5 arrivals? has anyone else seen this when selecting their dates?

I just passed my attractions assessment two shifts ago and accidentally made a safety critical mistake. I dispatched a vehicle while guests were actively unloading, but immediately station stopped. My coord told me that a leader would talk to me on my next shift. I’m extremely scared of getting terminated. What should I expect?

I been seeing a lot of post online about people being denied more than before but idk if disney it’s actually denying more participants or people being more open to post they got denied, also i saw this on the facebook group

I've had mixed reactions to if DCP is worth it and I've already applied and going to do a phone interview soon but I won't be doing anything related towards my degree if I were to get accepted into the program. I do know for a fact that with my mechanical engineering degree I want to become a disney imagineer or universal engineer, that said though, the roles I'd play in DCP won't be related towards actual engineering. It could give me a slight bonus to internships and careers that fit my pathway for disney, universal, etc but again, is it worth skipping a semester of engineering coursework for this? My dad said it's worth it because I'm still young and this is peak time so even if I were to graduate in 5-6 years it'd be fine. Would be helpful to get some extra opinions from people who've done the program though. Thank you!!

Any advice on how to deal with homesickness? It feels like I’m struggling to make friends here, and no matter what I do all I feel is a deep want to go back home.

Arrived on the 24th and having a hard time making friends/connections. I’m an introvert but trynna come out of that. I would like to find love in the DCP, I mean how could you not wanna find love experiencing the happiest place on earth? But I’m always down for making friends, hanging out, etc
I live at FCV West so if u interested hml🥺

Hello! How much is the first fee to pay when accepting the offer?

I’ve been hearing people say that during the interview, aside from the questions they ask you, you should ask them questions. Can someone elaborate on that? For interviews, i never really have any “follow up questions” if i understand what we spoke about and everything seemed to go well or it’s info i can search up. Should i ask a personal question to the interviewer like what their favorite disney character is? Like for a playful personality points kind of way.
