The HARD TRUTHS About the Disney College Program

Would you ever do the DCP?

[@maxalschlager4169]

Working a job you don’t like and living with people you didn’t choose was the best part of the experience for me. Spring 2001 alum!

[@hermeticxhaote4723]

I know someone that was working there then, and I visited them. The program sucked, you guys were exploited and never compensated fairly.

[@stirlinghicks3931]

How long was the program? Was it an actual college program or is that just a moniker something akin to a paid internship?

[@adlerj5432]

And don’t forget you must pay rent while receiving minimum wage!

[@stitchy_7789]

Incorrect, Disney is paying more than most of Orlando also rent is a lot cheaper than most of Orlando

[@adlerj5432]

@@stitchy_7789 That may be correct, but most people are not having to pay rent and all their food on just minimum wage without getting a second job.

[@zacmanpat]

If you’re a cp then the rent comes out automatically so whatever’s left is for anything else you need or have to pay for

[@oofproductions6956]

I make 19.50 an hour, back at home the minimum wage is $7 🤣

​@@adlerj5432okay? They pay above minimum wage, you're guaranteed to make enough money to cover rent, and you split the cost with roommates. What's your issue with that set up?

[@robertrives4842]

Make sure she finishes college. The time at DCP does not count towards seniority, earning permanent benefits, etc. Go to DCP. Finish College, and if Disney is a good fit for you, return to the advanced programs and get "Fast-Tracked" in a Disney career.

[@Ella_A_Star]

I know an old coworker of mine is doing the DCP, and working anywhere at Disney is basically her dream come true. She loved the Disney Parks, she was an annual pass holder, went to Disney like 5 times every year, and bought almost everything Stitch related they have. I hope she’s doing well! 😊😊😊😊

[@koraknight6995]

Former DCP, if you do take the bus prepare to have a lot of random bus breakdowns, crashes, possible fires, and have your managers number on speed dial. Also make sure you know when daylight savings is. Especially if you work the night shift cause if you end up working overtime and miss the bus you may end up waiting hours for someone to get you, calling an uber, or having a bus driver screaming at you on the phone for not getting on the bus when you were supposed to.

[@TweetsieRailroader]

As a former DCP cast member (MK Custodial, I still miss those guys a lot), I personally have a big piece of advice for those using the Flamingo Crossings buses: When going to work, start getting ready 2 hours before your shift. That way, you make it to your place of work on time, if not early. I usually got to Westclock bus at MK anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour early, which gave me plenty of time to grab a snack from the Mousekateria, (or sometimes dinner if I wouldn’t get a lunch break), and begin my day.

[@rhaynux]

Your advice for the problem of not having enough time for your commute to work is to wake up earlier…. how revolutionary

[@myamusicality]

@@rhaynuxno it’s bc the buses are actually super unreliable, and our leaders don’t care if a bus issue made us late for work…also almost every route only runs once per hour, and they can overfill pretty quickly. I once had to wait for a bus to Magic Kingdom for over an hour bc of how many people there were.

[@nowsynowsy]

​@@rhaynuxright? I commuted with public transport in an European country for 3 years in uni (bus+train+metro) and 3 years for work (same city commute, took me about 1 hour with bus and 2 metro switches) Unreliable is getting on a train that was running 4 hours late instead of yours that was mia just to have a jumper on the metro shut down a whole line and getting to uni 3 hours late. A bus that runs every hour isn't that big of an issue, my bus to the train station ran 4 times a day. 2 morning, 2 evening rounds.

[@oofproductions6956]

Watching this while sitting on the DCP bus that already had a 45 min long route and the driver made a wrong stop 🤩

[@ThatOneFemaleGamer]

Had a friend who went through the DCP and ended up staying an extra year as a cast member outside the program as well. They loved the program but as things went on, realized little things (and little things thar added up to big things) that bothered them to the point where it was almost hostile, so they left earlier this year. I know their feelings definitely changed about the job as time went on, going from loving it to almost entirely hating it over the course of the years they worked there, but sometimes that happens with a job. I don't think they regret it at all though and made plenty of friends through it!

[@glamrockfoxy6667]

College is simple job is simple

[@EmmettDominguez]

I went to high school with a girl that went to college with this program. I thought it was the coolest thing and I’m pretty sure she loved it.

[@samuellawrencesbookclub8250]

As a person who relies on public transport, five or six stops seems like nothing. I used to have to take a bus to work that had about 40 stops, and took two hours each way.

[@nikolevasquez5176]

These programs are great for people who want to go into that industry or those people looking for something outside of college

[@antipuck]

i’ve spoken to many disney crew members at different resorts, parks, and cruises. the general consensus is being a cruise teen club counselor is the absolute best job!! i had an absolutely amazing experience in Vibe and i got to ask the crew from all different parts of the world what their favorite job at disney was. many of them have worked at different parks like paris or japan, and they’ve had many roles throughout their career. when i asked what they’d recommend, they always enthusiastically would say being a teen club counselor has been the absolute best. and we loved them, we thought it would be weird at first being watched but they actually participated a lot and most were in their 20s or early 30s so it was actually more of a big sibling dynamic! i’ve been on many cruises but nothing could compare to the days i spent in Vibe and the counselors who spent time with us.

I assume they made this video because people love to idolize the parks and only talk about the positives and they just want to remind people that it's not entirely the fairytale you might think.

[@debbietrinitypoth651]

My daughter did DCP until the pandemic. Yes, the bus system sucked, some even broke down or started smoking, but she loved the job she got (Character Attendant), and once Disney World opened back up, ahe applied as a regular Cast member, and has loved it ever since.

[@eddiec9756]

From the Fall of 2022 program, I was in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. I think another thing that should be said is that if you are not from Florida, the temperature and weather will take some time to get used to. The hardest part is the first week of training early in the morning. If you can get past that first week it is smooth sailing.

[@W1ldestride]

That’s my goal is to get some experience in a Disney park with the dcp when I get their so it will be a conversation piece on any future job interviews

[@cottoncandiez8872]

I did it almost ten years ago. I've kept it on my resume, I don't personally bring it up but so far every interviewer has mentioned it on their own. I'm not even in hospitality currently. It's an AMAZING resume builder

[@jaysmoozie-_-4834]

@@cottoncandiez8872What kind of work are you in for it to help on the interviews? If you don’t mind me asking.

[@CoffinFullOfBees]

I majored in theatre tech/design in Florida and every advisor in the theatre department as a whole seriously discouraged it. The university I transferred from in New York had a zero tolerance policy on DCP dreams. Basically, unless you are interested in working at Disney specifically, or being in the hospitality industry, it is not worth the time and effort, and if you want to be a human face character actor, you are better off doing local/regional theatre internships for experience. DCP is just cheap, ununionized labor. Disney has expanded the roles DCP employees can be put in, and it is seriously damaging the guest services experience. Right now they have DCP employees denying people accessibility accommodations, and I am highly suspicious that it's because unionized employees have the power to do something about it. Everyone my family has talked to in this process who is a DCP employee hates what they're doing to disabled guests. I personally can't go to Disney anymore because of the disability access pass being taken from me (universal is loving my money though) and the only way to keep it up is by hiring people with no recourse. The DCP is genuinely a morally corrupt system, and participating in it takes away local jobs and whittles away what's left of Disney Magic.

[@havokaine]

1. You will be working 6 day weeks more than likely. You also get stuck working worse hours than everyone else usually closing. 2. Less pay than everyone else. You are better off working part time/picking up extra shifts and then applying to guild for free college. They cover 12 credit hours a semester. While a good experience, still think CP’s are treated badly and part-time is so much better

[@renataespinal]

Former ICP here 🙋🏻‍♀️ it was the most wonderful time ever !

[@Ouonic]

Since the first time I went to Disney World with my Uncle (around 8 or so) we’ve had a plan in place that he would retire in Orlando, I would finish my basics in college, and move in with him to start the DCP. 10 years later I’m still a huge Disney adult, but have realized that modern day DCP is not what it once was. If you want to get started in Disney and you’re a young adult, I’d highly suggest opting for the Disney Internships route. You’re still employed by Disney, you still get Disney perks, but you get your foot in the door of a better paying job!! Look for whatever you majored in if you went to college, they have positions all over the world!!

[@faithfrase]

I loved the DCP! I did the Culinary Program though but was pretty amazing~~ I got lucky during my program though because I had a room to myself for a few months after my roommate left early. And towards the end of my program got a new one but loved them both. Definitely a lot of work but was so much fun creating magic for guests and fellow cast members ~

[@rickpontificates3406]

Disney does try to put you in a job related to your interest, if you express your interests and college curriculum to them in your application. It's LONG HOURS AND HARD WORK, and a chunk of your pay will go to your apartment, which will be shared with up to 4 other DCP workers.

[@EurydiceAllAlong]

I knew a girl that got into the Disney college program, then dropped out of college to work there. Like girl... I get you love Disney but you already had student loans and Disney ain't paying that much

[@therobotdevil2284]

Yeah my best friend did DCP and said it was tough watching many of her peers refuse to say anything critical about Disney, especially regarding how they pay and treat their workers. Like it was unthinkable that Disney might not be a perfect, benevolent company. And several of those same people either dropped out to work at Disney like that girl you know did, and others finished college only to return to Disney to take minimum wage jobs. If they're happy, that's awesome, but you gotta raise an eyebrow at the level of brand loyalty it takes to get employees under your spell to that degree. Pretty weird 😅

[@zacmanpat]

As a CM, my advice for anybody is to know that it is a job first. If you come here with an idea of just visiting the parks everyday, you’re going to have a bad time. You will get tired from working late most of the time because the FT and PT CMs tend to get the better shifts. Don’t get me wrong, you will get your park time and you’ll make plenty of memories with the people you work with or live with but it is and always will be about the job first. Working here has its fun days and not so fun days, just like any job. You can make it’s a fun experience or a miserable one. I’ve seen countless amounts of CPs love it or leave because they can’t handle it. So it’s all about your mindset going into it. I personally think the good days outweigh the bad ones, but that’s because I’ve had way worse jobs. In the end not everybody can say they work at the busiest theme park resort in the world and that’s a good feeling to have honestly. So many people probably wish they could be in the position that we’re in and that’s the mindset that I’d definitely recommend having

[@MRebeca]

I was in the DCP in 2001 and I am still super close with 7 friends I made there. We are all in different states. It is hard work, but so, so worth it. You will be broke, tired and sweaty. But it is an amazing life experience.

DCP is so gross as someone from florida. The idea of sugar coating working as a parking lot attendent or restraunt server and getting paid awful under the guise of "experience" has 100% cult minimum wage intern energy. Some people are lucky, but the whole structure seems predatory.

[@therobotdevil2284]

Yeah my best friend did DCP and said it was uncomfortable to watch her peers refuse to say anything critical about Disney as if it was a perfect, benevolent company, despite the fact that they're paid dirt and are expected to pay pretty high housing prices. Most cited the merch discounts ($ back in Disney's pockets) and Disney being "an amazing dream company" as why they were just happy to be there and therefore couldn't complain.

Like others said, you have to pay rent and as someone who lives in Orlando and had a brother doing the DCP at the same time, his rent was more than my half of a one bedroom apartment and he had THREE roommates. Plus you get the worst shifts and you get paid less than a non CP employee (I think it changed, but last year it was 14.50 to everyone else's 15)

[@princess1048]

I did the DCP and it sucked. They pay you practically nothing and work you open to close, so it’s a scam for free labor. They say they take rent out of your check but each time the amount is inconsistent and seems like if you make more they will take more even though rent is supposed to be flat rate. My mom got cancer and they refused to allow me time off to go care for her. Also if you continue to take college courses like most college students have to they will not allow you to take time off to take your exams if you have a professor that schedules the exam during your scheduled hours. This is NOT a college program it is a scam for free labor rewarded with free entry to the parks so you can give the $50 paycheck they paid you right back to the parks!

[@Misschristy775]

Former DCP 1998! Even back then it was worth it to have my car. I got lucky with my roommates and while we’re not close after 25 years, I still have a lot of fond memories of that time ❤

[@isaiasojeda8773]

This is my take, it's not for everyone and it is definitely luck. This was the best thing I've ever done due to the fact I had great roommates for the most part, met so much good people at my location, had a great role, and had a great location to work at. However, I met so much ppl who had the total opposite and hated everything about it and listening to what they've been through I would've been miserable in their shoes. Main take away, if you're not in a location you like it can be very difficult to enjoy. The program also is hard to live in. Rent sucks, pay sucks, and hours can be grueling depending on location and role. Good luck to everyone who joins because it can be great or it can be terrible

Considering I worked in a resort town for nine years, it was clear somewhere tourist facing was where I should be. My three flatmates were great too! We got along, coexisted with little issue. My roommate even baked me cookies for my arrival! And due to my place of work and someone needing a wheelchair accessible bus, my bus was mostly on time with just one route (my flamingo crossing, the other flamingo crossing, and EPCOT). So was I blessed? 100% I heard horror stories come from the DCP, I’m just grateful my time was so full of laughter and magic.

If you want to work for disney just go in for a part time or full time. You get all the benefits including the union. Dcp only get discounts on merch, which is just disney getting their money back.

Maybe it was different when you worked there, but as of two years ago when did the college program, cp employees do get ot for anything worked over 8 hours in a day as well as ot for anything over 40 hours in a week, so there were actually great opportunities to get over time pay.

@@jadenloutensock2547 yes, I think it must have changed. I worked there about 10 years ago.

I actually worked with college program students as a full timer. You got paid less than us. I felt bad.

Looking through the comments, what I’ll say is that alums and supporters of the DCP all seem to enjoy it because they enjoyed working at Disney, people who posted negative comments focus more on pay and treatment, and treat the DCP as a job and less as a dream. If your lifelong dream is to work at Disney, go for it. If you care more about pay and treatment, don’t do it.

2024-25 Alum. All true. Custodian was not my first choice, I had at least one verbal disagreement with all my roommates (mostly about health and heigene), and the bus loops at Flamingo Crossings needs a few updates. Also schedule issues can be an entire episode on its own
