PRE-DCP: Postcard Official!

So a week or two ago I received my post card from Disney which read, "Congratulations Dave!". After your acceptance, your postcard is the next thing you wait for. The whole process of the Disney College Program is a series of waiting games. First you wait anxiously for your phone interview, then you'll wait months for your acceptance (weeks or days if you're lucky), followed by postcard and your arrival date.

Speaking of arrival day, mine is in exactly 67 days (Which is February 2nd, 2014). I have finally booked an hotels, flight, and rental car for the trip down there. Unfortunately my parents won't be able to make the trip with me, so my lovely grandmother offered to help me settle in.

I wrote this post earlier this month, but I've been trying not to focus much on DCP because it's makes the wait feel that much longer. But since I want the whole process documented for me to look back on one day, I'm going to try to be more active.

David goes to Disney! (96 More Days!)

What do you picture when you think of the happiest place on earth? Walt Disney World of course! Well I have the incredible opportunity to take part in a 6 months stay in Disney. As of February 2nd 2015, I will officially be a cast member of Disney for the Disney College Program Spring Advantage!

Well, what is the Disney College Program and what do you mean by spring advantage?(You may be asking)? The Disney College Program is an internship offered to college students who are looking to enhance their resume and develop great skills. During the college program you'll receive a role (such as attractions, merchandise, character attendant, life guard, etc), you'll be paid and receive great benefits such as free park entrances, discounts, and the experience of a lifetime. To answer the second part of the question, spring advantage is simply the duration of my stay at Walt Disney World. I'll arrive in Orlando February 2,2015 (Actually a few days early 1.Because of the Super Bowl, 2. since I'm flying I'll need to buy some essentials in Orlando, and 3. Why not?) and my date of departure is August 7, 2015. The process of applying for this college program was very, well... interesting. First you must complete an application. Then you'll receive a web-based interview followed by a phone interview a few days later. The phone interview was very nerve-racking, but I must say I pulled it off well. Then of course I had the pleasure of waiting nearly 2 months to hear I was finally accepted.

 I couldn't be anymore excited and nervous for this experience! I will be documenting everything, whether it's blog or vlog. There is currently 96 days until I leave for Orlando so I'll try to keep you all updated.
