Facebook

Can I just start off by saying that there are amazing Facebook groups out there for us to join. There are people on these groups who are applying for the program, in the program, didnt make it in the program, and then the few who just like Disney and meeting new people.
These groups are GREAT ways to network with people before you get there. You can try and select roomies, make friends, and even plan trips. I know that we have done a number of Oovoo chats.. these are usually extremely unpproductive, but once in a while we sit and actually chat about the program and pre interview questions so that we are better prepared for the phone interview and Web Based Interview (WBI). A lot of people really dislike the WBI, but I didn't think it was so bad. They are basically trying to find out if you are a good fit and what your morals and habits are like. They will try and trick you with teh same questions worded differently, so be careful. Most people will tell you to lie for this interview, but that is only going to make things harder for you. I was honest for mine and found out within a few minutes that I had passed. You wouldn't want to lie now and have the company find out later and possibly face consequences.

Anyways, I definitely recommend joining one of these groups if you are applying for the program or even just thinking about it. The people on there will keep your spirits up and support you a long way.

OH and before I forget... if you are obsessing with the program like I have been lately its kind of fun to search up the DCP tag on Tumblr and Instagram. People post all sorts of things about the program and it could be pretty interesting for you :)

Hope all is well! Thanks for reading.

Anticipation

The anticipation is killing me!

I can't stop thinking about applying and getting the interview process over with. Last time I applied the waiting game was BY FAR the worst part of everything. Constantly checking to see if you got any sort of email or refreshing your dashboard over and over again. It's a problem for many people who apply, myself included.

For the past few days I have not been able to stop looking at DCP tags on tumblr, reading everything on the facebook groups, and trying to find out about all the different questions that I could be asked in the phone interview. I probably do this for HOURS each day when I get home from work, its not exactly productive for school... but I only have one more week left :) Last time I did not prepare for the phone interview, this time I will have all my answers down! No more studdering or trying to think of answers that properly display what I am trying to say in a way that they like.

I am hoping that these blogs will become more interesting when I get into the program and am able to talk about what I do each day, what the interview process is like and any other questions that people have for me.

Also, wanted to share this with you, this is probably the best T Shirt ever, my mom showed it to me, some of you all may also enjoy it :)

First Blog Ever.

So, as the title says...This is my first ever blog. Honestly I am starting this for three reasons; boredom, it is part of a school project, and I really think I will get into the Disney College Program this time around. This blog is my way of avoiding Vlogs... just in case I dont make it into the program; I dont want to embarass myself if I don't get in and have it on video lol.
    
I have a feeling that this blog will be a lot of ramblings that don't really make sense so please forgive me in advance for that.

Basically I am applying for Spring 2013 Disney College Program. I applied for Fall 2012 for the Disneyland resort(DLR) program. But this time I will apply for both Walt Disney World (WDW) and DLR. I will also apply almost right away when applications open up rather than wait two months. I think that is what killed me last time. I didn't get declined... I got no longer in consideration (NLIC). It sucked, but it's not really a bad thing. They basically ran out of room for me, not that I wasn't a good fit.

Hopefully this blog will get more interesting as time goes on :)

Enjoy!
