DCP ROOMMATE STORYTIME: SHE GOT TERMED.

[@lindagraham8338]

I am a 57 year old DPC and I do understand how hard it had to be for all of you. I am happy to say however that I don't have all the issues that your roommate had. My roommates are not friendly as of yet because I had to move in with them from the 3rd floor. They are scheduled to leave sometime in July and have been here for a year. So yes I understand their apprehension to get t know the old lady .Third floor wasn't comfortable for me with grocery runs. I never expected to get this internship on the first try. My age was on the application just like theirs. Disney has been extremely accommodating to me and I appreciate that so much. I just wish my roommates would understand that I am not here to run their lives. I just want to empower mine. Yes I can still do that at 57. Thank you Disney for allowing us older ladies to experience the magic too. My body might not be as strong but my spirit is young and ready to experience the next adventure God has planned for me. Besides, I can't wait to share my experience with my students. Since Disney has become part of that and I earned it I will do what it takes to make the best of it. Thanks WDWDCP!!!

[@lindagraham8338]

Forgot to say that all my children are gone, but I do have a wonderful husband at home. So glad he wanted me to experience this. It has been very difficult. The ups and downs of emotions in that sense is killing me. I miss him so much. Wish they had spousal housing for older DCP's. They surely wouldn't regret it.

[@taylors4838]

Very well said Ms. Linda Graham! I'm 37 years old and I still feel and for the most part look like I'm 23... only in part of my coloring over my few gray hairs to my natural deep chocolate brown and not having any real aging to my face or body! But if I were to have thought about this in my late teens/ early twenties I would have loved the opportunity..... now I have children and roots kinda planted and couldn't ever think about leaving off and heading away to take advantage of an amazing opportunity such as this!!! If I had help with my children and it worked out for me and my children then heck yeah I'd love to have the experience but that is only going to take place in my dreams, my deep down, most restful sleepy dreams hahaha.... good luck to you Ms. Linda, may your dreams and aspirations take flight and become everything you desire and more!!! I'm EXTREMELY proud and excited for you that's for sure!!! XX

[@taylorcutler2433]

This breaks my heart 🥺 I’ll gladly be your friend & roommate

[@mirandamcguire810]

I think that's really unfair to these young girls having their first taste of independence to have someone who could be their grandmother living with them. It's just not appropriate.

[@melissacorrigan84]

I’m 36 and I look and act like a teen! 😂 I don’t want my age to make anyone fearful I’m just one of the girls 😁

[@Juwlz]

I know 36 sounds super old when your young...it is older than me but in the scheme of things it's not that old and it is a bummer that she was such a weird person because I think it's super cool that Disney gives opportunity to people who aren't in their teens or twenties.

[@JennaGetsCreative]

Agreed! I didn't hear about DCP and their other programs until I was past 25 and thought darn, not gonna be an option. I didn't know they took older people. I'm 30 now. I still won't be an option for me because I'm not leaving the country for several months when I've got such a young child, but it's nice to know in another life it could be.

[@blueeyedgirl9637]

I agree! I'm in my thirties (a couple years younger than Ann)and i consider myself still young. However, this "Ann" needed to sort herself out! She said she was from a Southern state..I wonder if it's from where I'm from?

[@MeMissMystery]

I'm 31 and i would freaking die if I'd get an opportunity like this oh my goodness

[@MsBanana991]

@@JennaGetsCreative I'm pretty sure culinary is the only program in which you can be past University age (12 months post graduation), so DCP, ICP, CEP are all 20-25 years old; unless its a mature student who has gone back to school later in life I assume

[@TheLifeOfGary]

[@shellybolt6167]

This makes me so sad that someone like this got accepted and didn’t embrace the Disney culture when some of us applied and could only dream of this and didn’t get this opportunity! I can’t believe she just watched tv in her room every day and didn’t appreciate what she had. It makes me so sad!

[@emilyswanderland]

That’s the worst part about it I think!! Took a space from someone who probably would have appreciated it so much more

[@eamesgoren]

me, too. If I was in that program, I would be going to the park, every day

[@gissneric]

You get the best perks of free admission in the parks and she haven't been to the parks in a month? WHAT?

[@emilyswanderland]

gissneric I know!! I don’t think she ever went - just lay in bed watching tv and sleeping 😂

That always weirds me out. I’ve worked with CMs that have been at the park over a year and never gone for fun. Hell I just go ride a couple rides before a shift sometimes

[@iBeauty96]

That poor woman. It sounds like she was going through a lot in her personal life. Like she had kids, and she broke up with her boyfriend. It sounds like something happened and she just had to leave and take care of things.

[@emilyswanderland]

I do know for a fact she was termed but obviously I don’t know the full story of what she was going through (other than what I heard her yelling down the phone at 6am...)

[@pretelquetzal]

Ya it honestly sounds very sad. She must've been dealing with a lot

[@eva5193]

Yeah, but no need to take it out on others and make it miserable for them 🤷‍♀️

[@serenitymoon825]

Doesn't mean she needed to take it out on her roommates

[@chalronbjork4766]

Good to see some empathy

[@marknc9616]

What is horrifying to me is that "Ann" was escorted out by security for workplace threats/violence and then she was allowed to be around you before she left her housing. She could have caused injury/damage/death to you.

[@MadTheDJ]

I wonder if somewhere on YT, 'Ann' has posted a video about how she had awful roommates who tormented her with running water, constantly woke her up after their shifts and never did their dishes. She probably goes on about how the DCP is B.S. and that she was unfairly termed near the end of her culinary program when she defended herself against a fellow student. ;-)

[@emilyswanderland]

I’d love to see that considering it would all be false 😂😂

[@lachrymarum_]

HOW does someone like this even get into the program?? she couldn't have interviewed well. there's so many people who would actually take advantage of the opportunity & be grateful, not to mention they'd probably be a better employee in general. taking up a space she doesn't deserve in the first place! she really doesn't sound like a disney fan either lol, been there a month & no park visit yet?! such yikes.

[@emilyswanderland]

It was a very bizarre situation and I really don't know to be honest as she had no passion for the company!! I guess they can't get it right all the time though

[@Chocolover5652]

People like that are great psychological liars. She could’ve given and extremely well thought out interview

[@chrisrhodes6489]

I know more than a few absolute nutcases that interview very well. then on the opposite side of the spectrum I know even more awesome people that have panic attacks trying to interview.

[@WatchThisCruelVideo]

I think she's emphasizing that she's 36 not to say that it's strange to go back to school (it's amazing when people go back to school!) but to highlight the fact that this almost middle aged woman is harassing a youngen for no reason.

[@emilyswanderland]

This is exactly the point aha 😂🙌

[@memethyst]

i think it's kinda weird they paired someone in her mid 30s with people in their early 20s... that would make me uncomfortable...

[@Sazzygirl07]

This is the best. And also, I love how you left it half an hour before moving into the other bed. Can just imagine you sitting on the couch waiting 😂

[@emmasworld4988]

We had a mature culinary program participant working at my location he was in his 30s and was constantly trying to talk with all of these 18-21 year old girls about really uncomfortable things. I’m still pretty sure he’s there.

[@meghancl85]

[@emilyswanderland]

[@courtneyrose5116]

Life doesn't end in your 30s. I don't think it's weird she wanted the experience or that she was in a college program.

[@ricardocarmona9123]

I did the college program when i was 19 and then again at 21, and I always wanted to go back but i’m currently 36 and always laughed at myself and said “no no, i’m too old for it! My roommates would think i’m a weirdo!” Lol. Now i see that it was still an option to go back! Oh well heh. I’m grateful for having the chance to go twice when i was younger :)

[@emilyswanderland]

Aha I really wish I would have but I was just shocked! Just kind of stood there and let her get it all out :')

[@MrFlyboy1313]

I am glad you didn’t say anything back to her because she could have attacked you physically and injured you. She sounds like she has major anger management issues and no impulse control. She was probably trying to bait you into an altercation and hoping you would throw the first punch so she could attack you and claim self defense.

Getting termed doesn’t mean you can no longer work with Disney, you just have to go through the process again if you apply for DCP

[@emilyswanderland]

This is just going off what they tell us at training that if you get termed it limits your employment ops at the whole Walt Disney company and its subsidiaries!

[@bobdobb9017]

That woman probably isn’t ready psychologically for many things, that program included. All of her life’s negative reinforcement will have to be undone first. Some people are constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. Live and learn!…maybe a touch of controversy/adversity is good, so glad most of your DCP roommates were good. A read of the Psychological DSM is enlightening and offers insights you can carry and use for your lifetime. In Europe I believe it’s called the Psychological ICD. Reading through the Personality disorders sections allowed me to understand some people I was extremely confused about.

She does does actually have a chance for rehire, I dont know if she would want to be but... lol. I know from experience, Disney can rehire you if you are terminated. If it is a normal termination (due to: missing work, late, call outs, etc.) it would be after 6 months you are up for rehire. If it is a complex situation (altercations, insubordination,termed due to health issues, etc.) you go through a process of verification for rehire .

I know it's possible if you're termed for something dumb like too many call-outs or going to the park when you should have been working, but I don't think that applies when it was something more serious like in this situation

...were there no other mature participants? Why would they room her with you when there's such a huge age gap? Also, you'd think they'd have a better handle on her mental state through the application process. That's ridiculous; Anne sounds like a terrible roommate and has some sort of mental imbalance. You handled her situation with grace and poise and I would've probably spoken to some sort of supervisor of the program, but I'm a tattle tale like that I guest :P

Disney just splits by over or under 21 - they don’t group people who are similar within that! And thank you, I’m glad you think so - I like to think I did 😅💕

You are lucky you didn't gt bedbugs from here mattress

[@loricash5849]

I was one of the oldest people doing the program I had just turned 40

[@emilyswanderland]

It’s not your age that matters, just your attitude 👍

[@salsberi]

I have no idea how I got here. If 36 is old, then I’m the crypt keeper. I think it’s amazing that Disney is open for all ages to learn and work. On the flip side, she should have been put in older housing. When I was in college 100 years ago, there was an option for living on a 21 and over floor. The discrimination policies have changed so much since the 80’s but my college still has the 21 and over floors. Anyway...enjoy your time working for Disney!!

[@emilyswanderland]

Her age wasn’t an issue (though it took me aback!) it was her terrible attitude!! 😅 thank you!

[@salsberi]

Emily’s Wanderland for sure!! She had issues!

[@tinkerspell4850]

why didn't they send security while she was getting her stuff together? How did they know she wasn't going to take her crazy out on you?

[@emilyswanderland]

I wish I knew the answer 😅 but I probably should have told housing about the other outbursts in retrospect

[@EquineloveDisney]

I did icp in Disney land Paris and my sister was my Rommate and we had great rommates too Rommates are hard

[@honeydate]

knife related gangster. What a room mate from HELL!

[@androclesx704]

what was the suspicious stuff you found in the drawer? weed? lol

[@emilyswanderland]

🤫

[@mperdue12]

I can understand you either.

[@notyourmama6511]

I’m late to the video. Do you not have the ability to complain to Disney about weird odd possibly mental ill roommates.

[@steelcutoaths3033]

Oh my. I live in a southern state in the US and have a friend who went to culinary school. She had a knife pulled on her by her roommate while she was in culinary school and a part of me wonders (mostly jokingly) if they are the same person. XD

[@Chocolover5652]

This is the first video I’ve ever seen from ya and I just subbed you’re super sweet! Sorry for you to been like that. I actually applied to uni for 2019 in the uk and I’m so scared about having to bunk with a stranger! I hope I get a single form if I get accepted

[@emilyswanderland]

Awww thank you so much! And thanks for subbing! ☺️ most U.K. universities are single occupancy so you should be fine!

[@sabrinamiller3671]

LOL at the people in the comments going off on you, as if you did something wrong!

[@melodyabcdefghijklmnopqrst1663]

There is nothing wrong with being 36 on DCP.

[@Gia-ye6qr]
