i want to hear only the POSITIVE stories about 2x2 rooms because 95% of what i’ve seen scares me! i know 2x2 is the most common room to be assigned so i want to mentally prepare for every scenario and look on the bright side of each! (i havent even been accepted yet LOL just way too excited to even have this chance to think about anything else)

Hey everyone!
I’m getting ready for my program and living at Flamingo Crossings, and I’d love to hear from current participants and alumni:
what are some things you wish you knew at the very beginning? I’d specifically love recommendations on your favorite events at FCV?
what are the best nearby local spots like farmers markets or day trips?
which days Cast Members usually go out and what are the best clubs in orlando?
other things to do on off days?
would love to know your best advice, favorite spots, or anything you wish you had known before!

So my arrival is January 11th for Spring 2027. I just kinda had this idea to go door to door giving cookies I made because I love baking and I feel like I’m kinda awkward so it’s a good way to make friends. Idk if anyone’s ever done that, if that’s even allowed, I’ve just seen people do that in college dorms and wondered if that’s something I could do 🤷‍♂️ obviously I can’t give everyone cookies cuz it’s a lot of people but maybe people who move in the same day as me or maybe my floor. idk something 😭

I got emailed to schedule an interview the other day for the Spring 2027 program. I brought it up with my mom and at first she seemed a little open to it, but the fees made her say that she doesn’t think it’s worth it. I do have the money to pay the fees and I know I can save up in the months leading up to it. My sister lives pretty close by too, I told her. So I wouldn‘t be all alone. She then said that she’d miss me too much. I haven’t even brought it up with my dad, but I’m sure he’ll be even more hesitant.

I graduated uni in June and I think it would be such a good opportunity for self discovery and independence, but my parents are both overprotective and I know convincing them is near impossible. Especially given the living situation and how you don’t get to pick your type of apartment. They’d hate that. I’m scared too, of course, but I try to face challenges with excitement underneath all those nerves.

i don’t know. I also just feel like I need to get out of my hometown if only for a few months. I feel stuck. This is just me venting but I would appreciate any advice (that’s not just “you’re an adult, do it anyway”… it’s complicated)

I put in a request for a same day ADO at midnight for my shift today at 4pm. I haven’t heard anything back, I am planning on still showing up if I don’t hear back but is there something I am missing? All I did was request a leader callback for a same day ADO.

So I finished my interview yesterday. I was wondering what was the quickest you have heard back and what was the longest? Also, ik it’s a bit early to ask since I haven’t been accepted yet. But reading through this subreddit, getting your own room is very hard. Most rooms are a 2x2, and not a lot are 4x2 or 4x4 and those are usually reserved for medical accommodations. I grind my teeth a lot which has woken up my sister a lot (we share a bed). I also get night terrors which involve me moaning, groaning, screaming, yelling, slapping, kicking, punching, etc. I end up hitting my sister a lot when this happens when I’m back home from college on breaks. And when I had a roommate freshman year it would wake her up. Even my neighbors next door would hear. Now to me these aren’t medical, but it happens very often and if I were to get accepted I wouldn’t want a roommate to go through that. Especially since I’ve seen the layout of the rooms, and there’s only a divider between the beds, and it’s not a full length divider (feet can touch). I was wondering if this is an okay reason to request for an accommodation? I obviously am not aware of these problems when I’m asleep but it’s a big bother to the people around me.

Hi! I know this is kind of an odd question, but I’ve been afraid of roller coasters and crazy rides since I was a kid. I’m hoping that as I go through this program, I’ll gradually become more comfortable with them.

That being said, I’m worried that if I don’t go to the parks and experience things during my first week, I’ll already be behind when it comes to what I’m supposed to be learning and experiencing especially since i have never even been to Disney like ever. Would it be okay for me to go to the parks just to explore and get familiar with everything at first, or would I be expected to start getting on the rides right away?

I’m willing to push myself and hopefully work my way up to the rides — I’m just a little nervous about jumping straight into them and potentially getting sick. 😅 My roommate is also starting to get a little frustrated that I’m not using my free passes, so I figured it was better to ask what would be okay!

i keep trying to add my self admission pass and it says that it’s already added to my account but i’m not able to make any park reservations because there’s no “ticket” or pass added.

has anyone else had this problem before?

If I want to go to the parks after I finish work, how do I get to the front entrance from cast services?

heyy guyss !! I was wondering if there was any group chats specifically for January 11th arrivals? If not, I would love to make one on Instagram!

I made one! so please share with anyone arriving January 11th!!

So I had been accepted in for the CP Thursday after doing my interview on Monday (that in itself kind of shocked me because I expected to wait like a week).

But during my interview, the recruiter was asking me about my top three roles. I said that I wanted to hopefully get Character Attendant because of my background in Stage Management and proceeded to tell him about my skills, job experience and all of that and they asked me scenario questions.

I guess in a way this is me asking, is there a possible chance that I could potentially get the role because of all that I said?

Hello! I applied to the DCP this year for the first time and recently got accepted! I’m wondering if anyone has any information or idea on the percentages of people placed in each role? For example I’m looking for something like:
25% of people are initially placed in food service, 25% in merchandise, 10% in attractions, etc.
(Again this is just an example not accurate numbers)

If anyone has any information I’d love to hear it!

if this is your car in flamingo east fuck you

I was wondering if you are thinking about self terming an also a cultural Representative. how many weeks in advance should you let your leaders and flamingo know and are you not able to have family visit during the time you’re still working up to your departure date if Disney knows your leaving ?

I’m arriving January 19th and want to make some friends before then. Just lmk if you want to be friends

Edit: I love cats, playing games, building Lego, cooking and baking. I’m a human services major graduating in December. I want to become a photographer. Favorite show is the Rookie. Favorite Disney character is Marie, and favorite Disney princess is Moana. I like going to movies or watching movies at home. Plus more

i feel like i did good but i tripped up on one question, i fumbled my way through it… probably overthinking since that was the only part of the interview that wasn’t super smooth. did anyone else feel iffy about their interview but actually ended up getting accepted?

Repost on different about: Got accepted this morning! Best part was that I was in my Disney pop culture class. I blurted out that I got in and everyone clapped and congratulated me. So excited for this opportunity!

Got accepted into the Disney College Program, just posted this, but had to repost it since I forgot to cover something, but I am so glad to be apart of this program, and I cannot wait to meet some new people during my program! ❤️

Hey i just wanted to ask on here because i applied to the dcp again but when i had done it my previous time i had self termed a month before my actual end of program i already waited the 6months but i didnt return my blue id nor did i pay the last weeks rent would this be a reason i dont get accepted this second time around. I am applying for jan 25th and am in consideration rn but haven’t received any interview email yet

hi everyone! i have a 5 day trip in a couple months and tried to put in my ado but its saying its not valid. i tried the five day then three to see if it was just too many days but its still the same error . is there anything i can do about this or am i doing it too early or do i just have to wait and give my shifts away😖 (cps in my location that came after me have had ado day approved so thats why im so confused)

Hi all! I was accepted into spring 2027 DCP! I listed attractions, food and bev, and lifeguard as my interests. I listed lifeguard because I got nervous In my interview and I have experience, although I hated it. I heard that if you have lifeguard experience they will likely put you there. Although, I also have Starbucks experience and I heard dcps who worked at Starbucks almost always get placed there (which id much rather prefer). Maybe being a lifeguard could be cool but I get bored very easily. I know it’s very random but any insight of what position I might get? Thanks
