Hey Caitlyn, my home park on my DCP was Hollywood Studios. Walking across the park to your location in costume is actually completely on theme for Hollywood Studios. The idea is that it is all working Hollywood sets and the cast members are actors and crew members making thier way to whichever set they are working on.
I just now watched this video and I was coming to comment the same thing 😂 I worked there on my DCP as well and that’s one of the things I found neat about Studios!
I LOVE the strawberry outfit! And the story behind makes it even better! You truly looked great in all the different costumes, but the strawberry was by far the best!
COFFEE TIP!!!! I am a barista at a coffee shop in my town and this is how I make the best iced (or hot) coffee! You can do this with any kind of coffee (cold brew, drip, espresso). Get a basic syrup like vanilla from Amazon or you can get Starbucks vanilla syrup form the supermarket, then pour a tablespoon or two of the syrup in your coffee then add creamer or milk of your choice. And then to spice it up and make it more sweet you can add cold foam! So to make cold foam you can use heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar, then you want to use either a hand held frother (which you can get at a supermarket) or you can use an electric mixer, mix until it’s fluffy. and you can also add the flavored syrup in the cold foam as well. Add the cold foam to the top and your done!!
I am so glad you posted today… I was like man today is dragging… then saw your notification and I am so happy. Thank-you for being a blessing and doing all this work for your channel. Love it!
Hii Caitlyn!! I'm from Brazil and I just was approved for a Recreation Attractions role at Disney!! I am really excited and watching all your vídeos! It is going to be amazing! I going to be there in November. Thanks for these amazing videos, it really helps to set the vibe about what to expect working at the most magical place on earth! ❤️✨️🇧🇷
POV: you are German🇩🇪 laying in your bed in Germany and watching how Caitlyn is excited about our caramel and holds a Cup which says merry Christmas in German 🥹🥹🥹🥹 love it
Caitlyn, my best advice for iced coffee is to buy Starbucks iced coffee (blonde or Mersin roast) and mix that with a little bit of a Starbucks creamer or choice and then some half & half or milk of choice!! I am also currently a merchandise CM here at WDW and I want to work in all four parks one day! How do you find the cast parking lots to the parks you haven’t been to yet? Any advice about picking up in a new park? Love you videos so much!! Thanks for making magic in multiple ways :))
Dear Caitlyn this vlog is my favorite of your channel💜It was so interesting thank you so much ! I'm so excited to do my CRP program in the French pavillion !!
Hey Caitlyn ! I love watching ur videos so much . I remember seeing u in animal kingdom once but I never got a chance to say hi! Your so positive , and entertaining ! Usually I can’t sit and watch a whole vlog but I can watch this whole thing through multiple times . Love ur videos ! Keep going ❤
Hi Caitlyn! Your videos inspired me to apply to DCP and I am happy to say I received my acceptance and will be moving in August. Thank you for the amazing content!
For the space buns I usually braid it and then put the buns or I twist the hair and then put it in the buns! And you can buy Starbucks iced coffee drink at most stores and then add creamer into it!
If you can ever pick up a shift at Main Street East (my location for the DCP) and you get Coordinator Jon that day UGH GURLLLL He's amazing!!! If you do, tell him I said hi!! This was so fun to watch, I'm so excited that you're enjoying the merch role for now hehe ❤❤❤ PLUS working on Main Street East (Uptown Jewelers, Main Street Cinema, and Curtain Call Collectibles; I don't think you're trained in the system that Confectionery uses so you'd only be working the Zones stores) is SUPER FUN!! Working in Zones was my favorite part of the program!!! EDIT: Also, one of my merch leaders from MSE moved to DAK, but I'm not sure which area!!! Her name is Clare and she's from the UK and she's SO KIND AND SO NICE!!!
just glad to have worked in blue zone during festivals 😅 only had to walk from costuming to the blue zone kitchen if food running or through the area where mexican donald would stand outside to those kiosks in the entrance of festivals lol
Can I just say you’re a great inspiration and was a big help in me wanting to do the DCP! I started a couple weeks ago and I’m fresh out of training :)
Love the new vid!!!! Love the new vid idea!!1 I thought it was really different and insightful in a very Cool way than other common ideas that circulate on RUclips!! (DOn't get me wrong I LOVE those TOO; BUTTTT This is a New Favorite)!!!!
this is the second time ive heard about merchandising today and ive never heard of it until now, maybe its a sign 😭 but severe social anxiety definitely doesnt help
My sister and I were cast members and she picked up a merch shift in Epcot early one day. She called me while backstage because she couldn’t find out where to go for her shift. 😂 She found her way on stage, to an empty park and no one was there to tell her where to go. She wandered into the restaurant, then kitchen in Morocco to ask for help. Lol. A few more wrong turns later she found her way.
OMG!! that is truly how it felt when i worked at epcot LOL everyone is intimidated by the utilidors, but I truly think its much more confusing at all the other parks
I miss my discovery island costume 🥺 I worked at it’s tough to be a bug! Also I LOVE the Tomorrowland music loop so I think if I ever go into merch I’ll have to pick up there!
I’m glad you liked working at sunset boulevard! Our leaders and coords and cast is amazing. Welcome to the strawberry family. Savannah and I would be proud. Trust me if I was working the day you were there, it would’ve been extra fun 😂
At 7:30, eh, I would be able to handle that prob cause of my marching band uniform cause there's a thick wire in the neck to keep it to stand up and we have a thing were we clip our neck part closed and you barley can move your head and being practically chocked and we are litterly fastened in to the jacket cause there is a zipper you zip up on the side with 3 buttons that you use to cover the zipper under your armpit (and it's a jacket so you have to bring it from your left side to your right and for most people we need help buttoning it up) then to close up the top part there are 2 buttons a silver (closer to neck) and black (further away from neck) you clip the flab on to close it up then the little fabric peice on the shoulder that is on both shoulders (I have no clue what they are called) you have to button onto the silver one (and there the ones like got to slide then and it's annoying to do so). And don't get me started on how tight they are and trying to fix the pant legs mm. But my favorite thing about our uniform is we have this tail like thing that's like on the front that's like on the side and it makes for the perfect fan tbh. Also our hats those things are called shackos those things are fun when trying to put the cover on it cause it's really tight and a peice of fabric the same material as your uniform with a not so very stretchy brand on the back part that's thick. But we do be looking good in uniform though and kinda better than the football players and cheerleaders ngl though. But all of our buttons for our jacket are on the side were it is black and were the silver things are
Unfortunately you can't pick up at the airport because you need an airport badge. However, we (airport cm) can pick up wherever outside of the airport if we wanted
Literally my anger with the Hollywood studios parking is unmatched. Nothing worse than having to walk over a mile from your location to your car after a shift.
im in germany all week next week, my home location is norway so we have the same cords, which cord was it?? lol i could probably guess based on how they talked to you. Not all of the cords are like that, i promise. like two of the cords are bad, the rest are great :)
Home coffee i use keurig but there are good coffee grinds try trade coffee they are subscribtion base company and ask you what kinda coffee you like and are great
When you pick up shifts at places other than your home location, do you get to “keep” the costumes while you work for Disney, or do you give them back after you’ve worked your shift you need it for and get it again if you pick up that shift again?
When I worked at Disneyland in the 80s you had to be a size 2 to 14 to “fit the costume,” if you were smaller than 2 or larger than 14 you could not work at Disneyland.

it was WILD LOL. the layout of it needs to be reimagined 😂
your Hollywood studio outfit looks just like the Because I Said So movie ! have u seen it ? ✨polkadots✨
"I feel like a superhero in this costume." 🥺🥺🥺🥺
i worked at typhoon lagoon QSR on my Disney college program it was really great
working at the water parks seems like so much fun!
LOL!!! The PL is not that bad!!
So does having merchandise experience mean you could work at downtown disney??
Loved the video! Where is your golden castle necklace from that you wore at the end? :)
its from wishes and co. :)
@@TheCaitlynRose123 Thank you! xo
You have to drive to work to get your outfits on your day off?
im in germany all week next week, my home location is norway so we have the same cords, which cord was it?? lol i could probably guess based on how they talked to you. Not all of the cords are like that, i promise. like two of the cords are bad, the rest are great :)
Nice video.More content like this
Where is that black crop top from that you wore when you got the Epcot costume?!
I got it from aerie!
Cool video challenge.Keep it up lol
amazing
Home coffee i use keurig but there are good coffee grinds try trade coffee they are subscribtion base company and ask you what kinda coffee you like and are great
oooh i like this subscription box coffee idea!
My last day at Disney is Monday at MK! So sad :(
awww i hope you had the best time ever here!
@@TheCaitlynRose123 it was the most fun job I've ever had!!
How do u work for Disney it's always been my dream !!!
i started with their disney college program! it is an internship type program that you can apply for on the disney careers website!
Question, On your name tag does it have the place where you were born, or where you were raised?
In case she doesn’t see this - you input what info you want on your nametag ☺️ so wherever you’d like to choose!
Peanut butter is bad for me cause I’m allergic 😬
I thought cast members pickup their uniforms when they get to work? I didn't know they let you bring your uniform home?
you can bring them home! some people pick them up right before their shift, but it depends on what is most convenient for your schedule!
What are your working times ??
Does Disney pay you for costume fittings/pick up?
Nope
How long are your shifts?
i have been scheduled anywhere between 6-14 hours LOL the most common shifts are between 6-9 hours long
Guest relations Tour Guide???
Cool
When you pick up shifts at places other than your home location, do you get to “keep” the costumes while you work for Disney, or do you give them back after you’ve worked your shift you need it for and get it again if you pick up that shift again?
you can keep the costume! depending on how often you pick up, it might be helpful to bring it home.
Tip #1 for Making COFFEE AT HOME:
Invest a lot of money in a home coffee making machine,
i.e. ILLY or ........

When I worked at Disneyland in the 80s you had to be a size 2 to 14 to “fit the costume,” if you were smaller than 2 or larger than 14 you could not work at Disneyland.
