    Looks like fun, but it’s absolutely appalling that a company worth $1 billion has the nerve to charge college students $400 to accept a job that pays them $11/hour. That’s a week’s worth of wages you’re giving them for free. Disney can dress it up as an ‘admin fee’ or whatever they like, but in Australia we call it wage theft and it’s illegal. US labor laws are wild.

    I had never been to Disney until I graduated college and I wish I had known before so I could've applied for the DCP. Love your videos and your love for Disney! Thanks for bringing some magic to all of us Disney lovers!

    I can't wait until my program (if it's even still a thing after corona)!!! I was wondering if you could talk a little bit more about living on dcp housing, like the pros and cons of each apartment complex, as well as the bus situation! Thank you for bringing your positivity into quarantine-- it is much appreciated!

    • @TheAardvarkPanda
      @TheAardvarkPanda 4 года назад

      Hi I'm a CP alum :) Dcp housing has sort of a college dorm vibe if that makes sense lol (you're living with a lot of people in a small space/some ppl are trying to party/some are figuring out how to live on their own finally/mostly everyone is trying to have a lot of fun - stuff like that). During my program, Vista Way had the most of that vibe and Patterson had it the least (it seemed the most like chill and quiet). The others were in the middle. Taking the bus works fine but having a car is awesome. With the bus you must plan around the bus schedule, it takes longer to get places because of other stops/you may have to walk far to get to the bus stop from your apartment. To me the bus was not the ideal form of transport but it worked.

    they did just recently update Disney Look so you can have up to two piercings in each ear and you’re allowed to get highlights/balayage/etc done to your hair as long as it’s natural colors (brunette/blonde/ginger/black) and you’re willing to maintain it.

    I was wondering if you could talk more about extending your program? I haven’t found any videos talking about it. Also about opportunities to stay with the company after?

    • @TheAardvarkPanda
      @TheAardvarkPanda 4 года назад

      Hi cp alum here :) Toward the end of your program you will get emails about applying to extend your program into another program. So basically you'll be doing a second CP program. Opportunities to stay on with the company as a non cp employee straight from your cp are super random and unlikely. You might get lucky and your location will be looking for a seasonal/part time/full time employee which you might hear about from a coordinator, but that's pretty rare. You can always apply to jobs through the disney careers website and the fact that you have the cp on your resume will help you.

Your videos have been a great help about the program!

    does your eligibility to do the alumni program end at the same time as your dcp eligibility (shortly after completing college) or does it last longer? If so when does it “expire”/ no longer eligibile for alumni?

    • @TheAardvarkPanda
      @TheAardvarkPanda 4 года назад

      Check the dcp website for application dates depending on which program you want to apply for. Your hair needs to look like it could naturally grow like whatever color it is.

    @uglyvegan7945 4 года назад

    I graduated from college over a decade ago so this doesn't apply to me, but I had an internship after college at a company not related to Disney so I'm interested in internships. Do you think the internship really does help you get a foot in the door at Disney, especially if you want to work higher up and not in one of the theme parks? Since there are thousands of interns, how do you set yourself apart to get noticed? Do you have the option of speaking to an adviser about how to move up in the company? Do you get advance notice of job postings within the company?

    hey bron! I was wondering about your friends/roomies on your programs and if they were able to graduate on time? and what were some examples of their majors? just trying to figure out how to get that internship credit!

    • @TheAardvarkPanda
      @TheAardvarkPanda 4 года назад

      Hi! dcp alum here :) I took a semester off college to do the cp so I ended up graduating a semester later than I would have but I think it was worth it. Getting internship credit for the dcp has to do with your college advisor/major department head.
      I was an environmental science major and i was a recreation cp. My department head did not give me internship credit because he decided that the job I was going to have wasn't related enough to my major. Secondary to that, I took a Disney sustainability lecture class (it had no homework or tests) and my department head did think it applied to my major but he would not give me credit because he needed the class to have tests to show him I was putting in effort.
      On the flip side, I had a sorority sister who also did the CP, she was a recreation cp like me, she was a recreation and parks major, she didn't take any classes and she got internship credit. I also had roommates who did the cp the semester after they graduated because graduating on time was more important.
      If you want to be sure about getting credit, I would go to your college advisor and bring info about the program jobs and classes and ask them what you would have to do while you are there in order to get credit.

    • @TheAardvarkPanda
      @TheAardvarkPanda 4 года назад

      It does not - emh are only for resort guests. When my fam came to visit me during my cp i put my name on their room like i was staying with them so that i could go to emh with them. A small trick though - if you are already in the park and night emh start you can stay in the park and go to shops and walk around but you can't go on any rides because that's where they check your magic band to see if you are a resort guest.
