DCP - Fall 2013

I got accepted into the Disney College Program!!!!

I am SO excited about this. Since I was a freshman in college I have thought about this program but was too afraid to actually do it. I am supposed to graduate this December, but now I will be graduating next May. I just cannot believe I am going to be living in Orlando and getting to visit my favorite place everyday! I am so obsessed with Disney World, and I'm perfectly ok with that.

So, I got accepted for merchandise. This was actually my first pick. My second was character attendant and then my third was costuming. I will not know which park or where I will be working until I get there. I will be there from August 12th to January 3rd. I am still debating on whether or not I want to audition to be a character performer...since my height range is too tall for a lot. It is going to be an adjustment for sure, but I am excited about this opportunity and doing something totally out of my comfort zone.

Now let's talk about all of the rewards I will be receiving just by being a cast member:

- Discounts at Walt Disney World resorts
- Disney Cruise Line discounts
- Free theme park admission (I'm pumped about this, clearly!)
- A limited number of free tickets for family and friends
- Sneak previews of new attractions, parks, and resorts
and much, much, much more!

I really hope to use this blog as a journal once I am fully there in August. I want to keep my family and friends updated on my experience and, of course, I want to remember my experience here also!
