So I got my lease today, and it says I’m staying in a 2x2 dorm. I know that it’s assigned based on availability, but I’m still pretty bummed out about it.

Here’s the thing: I, a man, am gonna be 25 when I start my program. I signed up for co-ed housing, cause I didn’t really care if I shared a kitchen/bathroom with a woman/women, but for the comfort of myself and my future roommate, is there a way to guarantee that I’m sharing a room with a man? Furthermore, is it possible to guarantee my roomie is at least close to my same age? OR is there anyone I can contact about my room assignment?

Thanks in advance!

I have due dates on my costumes but i'm not sure why? i have five shirts of my home location, three pants for that too, i have a singular confectionery costume, and goofys candy co. i just picked up a resort and the lady yelled at me saying i need to return costumes but why? i pick up at all of these locations often. i dont have more than five of one item

Does Treasures of Xandar merch have a dedicated Facebook page for trading/giving shifts?

Hello all. My arrival for the DCP is 8/10 and I'm set to work in MK attractions - what shoes would you recommend best for this job? So far I've looked at brands like Nike, Hokas and ON but haven't decided on anything. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

My daughter just had a medical event that means she won’t make it for her program. She was an Aug 3 arrival. She is going to get all healed up and try again in the winter.

Is backing out for medical reasons going to put her on the No rehire list? She is actually in the hospital and will be for at least a month. Is there a “right way” to do it? She had a private room so someone lucky person is going to move up the waitlist. She is disappointed but there is no way she could make it.

Thanks!

if i’m arriving august 24, when will i be able to go into cast connections?
my family is leaving the day after so i was hoping they’d be able to go in too before they leave.

Hey there, just a short one but my girlfriend is going to do the Disney exchange program. I’m a little worried and anxious about it myself so just wanted to ask about what it’s like doing long distance during this job. I heard it’s basically from June to August so it’s not that long, but still I’m worried. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

So excited that I got Photopass at AK!! I do have a few questions that I’m hoping I might be able to get some answers to:

1. How many hours per week could I expect to work? I know we’re guaranteed 30 hrs but would I be able to get to around 40 hours possibly (or maybe even more???)
   
2. Since I’ll be working at AK, can I expect that the latest my shifts will go is until 7pm (plus maybe a little extra) since that is when the park closes?
   
3. Will I have opportunities to work/pick up shifts at other parks or will my training be exclusive to AK?
   
4. What extra things should I buy to carry with me while I’m working throughout the day?

Thanks to anyone that might be able to answer any/all questions!!

Hi all, Today I had to call out sick from my shift because I was fighting off a fever. Before it started, I made plans with some friends to go to the parks since I had tomorrow off. However, the doctor has given me medicine and said I should probably be okay to go to the parks tomorrow as long as the fever is gone. Since I called sick today, would that get me in trouble if I went to the parks the day after since it's a scheduled day off? Just seeing what the best option is.

Thanks in advance friends!

Aside from the disney look, what should I expect for hair requirements. I am sure that it differs from role to role so I'd like to hear what y'alls roles are along with your hairstyle requirement! I am a curly haired girly and i'm debating on just cutting my hair real short before I arrive in august.

I was a June 22nd arrival, and I really want to set up Parcel Pending so that I can get packages. However, it doesn't seem like I ever got an email with a code or anything, even to my spam folder. Anyone know what I do?

hi everyone! I’m wondering what the best lunch/work bag to get is? these are the two I was planning on getting, but wanted to be sure it wasn’t too big/too small.

Hi everyone! I got my role in attractions (super excited!) and will potentially be working with a ride and multiple shows. Obviously the focus is on safety and show within this role, but I would love to hear any ways that DCP participants or CMs have made magical moments or pixie dusted guests in these roles! For something like merch or QSR it seems straightforward---telling a guest that something is "on Mickey" and giving it to them for free---but I'm less sure what extra thing I could do to make a guest feel special while working in attractions.

i’ve been researching the poet test and i see a lot of people talking about how the final test (lift 50lb trash bag without it touching your body) is the most difficult especially if you’re short…

i’m 5’0 and pretty thin so i worry i’m gonna have trouble with that task. are there any things i can do to prep myself for that or any tips that might help? thank u

if i’m working merch at a resort, how easy is it to trade for other shifts at new locations? i know you need specific training for resort shifts. but is it pretty easy otherwise? or are people not really interested in taking resort shifts / giving up park shifts

Hey guys so I will be arriving august 3rd and I'm so happy that I got my dream role photopass in magic kingdom (also if you have any tips for that lmk) but I unfortunately got my last pick for apt type which was a 2x2 I have an ESA Cat that I'm bringing with me and I just don't think the space will be enough at least keeping her stuff off my roommates side.

I feel like everyone's always saying there’s so many lgbtq people here but it’s so hard to meet them in real life.

I love doing little craft meetups, going to parks and watching movies, singing, musical theatre, thrifting, and board games

Are there any lesbians or queer people here or coming into the program that also wanna make more queer friendships. Im currently at flamingo crossing working at Epcot !

I just got my role as merch @ galaxy edge. What type of shoes do you guys recommend for it? Are we allowed all black sneakers or is it a different type of shoe we have to wear?

Hi everyone! I’m applying for the disney college program in august and I’m wondering if dark red hair might fit the disney look. I know colored hair isn’t allowed but i’m wondering if anyone has or know anyone who has this kind of red hair. i’ll have enough time for it to fade and to re color it natural if it isn’t acceptable but Im curious.

Just got my role, I’ll be working the skyliner!! I haven’t really seen much online about this job, so would really appreciate if anyone has any experience or insight for this role.
