Haha thanks!! I was pretty proud of it! I love the new Jaclyn Hill eyeshadow palette from Morphe (that's what I used)! My eyelids are super dry so I usually have a hard time blending eyeshadows, but the formula for these shadows is AMAZING! I feel like it's so much easier to blend with them!

The first two times I applied, I applied the day applications went live. My third time applying, I waited about two months to apply. I my application immediately qualified me for the web interview, and my web interview immediately qualified me for the phone interview. I had that two days later. After two days, I was accepted. I suggest waiting until the middle of the application period, once the Recruiters have gone through the mass wave of applications from the first few weeks and things start calming down. I am leaving for my program in one month, and if all goes well, I will apply to do a second program immediately after graduation. 😊

@kenziemacbrown7 жыл бұрын
1. It depends! It didn't affect me because I applied my last semester of college and I did the program after I had graduated. You could also take online courses while you're there either through your college or through Disney (they offer collegiate courses) so that you won't have to make up the credit later. Or you could choose to not take classes and you would have to make up the semester later on. 2. I was able to take time off because I was able to give my shifts away. If you can't give your shifts away or coordinate with your managers I'm not sure if you'll be able to take time off. It depends on the position too! I had no problem giving away shifts as an attendant because there were so many attendants. I had a harder time giving away shifts as a performer because the position wasn't as universal. 3. I'm not sure if they do or not, I would hope they would! But you do get paid while you're there, so essentially you would make money from the program because you have to have a job while you're there. That would be a great question to email them and ask them directly!

And from what I've seen, a lot of the food and beverage people are like that! I think it's harder in the performer or attendant role because each shift you're probably with different people. But with a location where you're with the same people every time, I'm sure you get super close! I'm so excited for you, and I hope you have an amazing program!

And I was all set to go and audition for Character Performer as well. However, I had to decline the offer because I just couldn't make it work with how I wanted to finish my vocal music degree. I will be graduating a semester late already, I did change my degree plan a bit throughout my studies, so I'm planning on giving it another go and apply in my final semester in fall 2018- fingers crossed!

That history class sounds really awesome! If I'm lucky and get in again, I'd love to take it! As with marketing, as that's been something I've been interested in for a while as well, given Disney's successful track record too of course. The free resume/interview workshops sound really cool too, I didn't even know they had those!

Some of them were tough to get to because they were early in the morning (like 7am but that was still early for me), and I didn't go. But looking back on it I think it would've been in my best interest had I gone to more of the workshops!

I went through the DCP in Spring 2015. It was an amazing, fun experience. The people were great, the parties were great and the experience was simply awesome. Keep in mind, however..this should be viewed as a social experience, not a traditional internship that leads to employment. I went through in my sophomore year, while I was getting an engineering degree, with the hopes of being a design or systems engineer at one of the parks. After the program I went back, graduating with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. My senior year I took a (paid) traditional internship at Lockheed Martin for 10 months and was hired on graduation. I am currently a Systems Engineer based in Sunnyvale, California. As I said, the DCP is a fun, interesting, awesome program that I will always remember...but you must ask yourself..Is this the best use of my time? Would an internship that leads to employment be a better use of my efforts? Food for thought, anyway.

And oh my goodness I know I saw one audition posted about a year ago or so when I was still in college as a theatre major in NY and wasn't able to attend. I then saw one other audition posted for Voyage a little more recently, about the beginning of this year, and was overjoyed to find out that I am the height requirement for Ariel in the show, 5'1-5'4, thats me! Still wasn't able to attend being in NY. Ill deff be keeping my eye out! I was honored to play Ariel in college which was just unreal and something I'll never forget. Looking forward to hopefully meeting you! That would be so wonderful. You have been so beyond helpful and inspiring. Meeting you would be such an honor.

I think it will be a lot easier for you to audition while you're living there! I think you're technically not supposed to audition if your'e in the college program, but auditions for those roles are so much more rare I think you should just go anyways if the opportunity arises! Are there any characters in particular you're hoping to attend for? Besides Ariel (I'm kinda assuming you would want to work with her!).

Hey there! Omg I am just seeing this now! There are some that you can't audition for and others that don't indicate so here goes! haha I have been in training for a while and I will be working with my first character tomorrow, Stitch! Super excited and nervous! I am absolutely hoping for Ariel, Alice, Tink, Wendy (if she comes out), Moana, Belle, Cinderella! All of the princesses I would love to work with all of the characters at least once! ahh! I love them all!

I think things might look a little bit different right now with everything going on with the coronavirus. It looks their auditions website doesn't have many listings. Also they only open applications for the Disney College Program once every year (usually in January and then I think in August?). So that might be why you're not able to see much on that right now. But they should have a way to sign up on their website - just search "disney college program" and their website should pop up! Hope that helps!

Hey there!:) I was just wondering, you talk about being a character attendant as well as a performer, did you do both at the same time through the college program? Did Disney just choose to give you two jobs instead of one job?
@kenziemacbrown7 жыл бұрын
That's a good question! I was an attendant during the program and then when my program was about to end I auditioned and was hired as a performer. So being employed as a performer and as an attendant were separate. However when I was a performer (when I was hired as a full-time employee) there were a few shifts where I got to be an attendant. But it's pretty rare for cast members to be trained both as a character attendant and as a performer. I just got lucky!

Second question: So I have glasses and like I said I'm going to audition to be a face character aka meet and greet. I was wondering if they'd take me and teach me how to put/wear contacts? Third and final question: So I'm going to be 18 when I audition could I do a regular audition without having to do the college program (even though I think I will do the college program no matter what)? And I just thought of another question if I do land a job at Walt Disney World would they provide a place for me to live???

If you need contacts for your role, you will have to get them from an eye doctor, who could help you learn how to put in contacts! 3. There are regular auditions all the time outside of the college program for full time, part time and seasonal roles, keep an eye out on the audition calendar for them! 4. Disney does not provide living accommodations unless you are a part of the college program. And thank you, you are so sweet!!

I would agree! Jasmine isn't technically the main character in her movie, and even though Rapunzel is the main character in her's the beginning of the story is Flynn Rider saying it's basically his story. I would say they're equally the main characters in that movie. Also Naveen plays a big role in the Princess and the Frog which is why he comes out for meet and greets more frequently. I think a lot of the princes aren't in as high of demand which is why they don't come out too often.

Most people are still taking classes while they do the DCP, it was rare for me to do what I did.
