Getting Accepted into the Disney College Program!

Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I posted...but finals are finally over so I'll be free to do this more often! This blog will be about my acceptance into the program and what all you have to do for it. One note before I go into it...The August 4th arrival peeps hit double digits about a week ago and I couldn't be more excited for that date to come! As of today I have 89 more days. YAY!




Back to the blog though :)

First:

After your phone interview, the interviewer will tell you to expect a response (either good or bad) within 2-3 weeks of your interview. This will seem like fooorrreevvveerrr. However, you will receive a response. I got my response within 3 days of the interview, however most people will have to wait at least 2 weeks. There are 3 different responses you can receive in the email:

  1. Accepted
  2. Denied
  3. Pended
Accepted means that you are in the program and will need to proceed to the other steps which I will get to later on. 
Denied means you are no longer in consideration for the program. You will be able to reapply the next term as long as you wait 6 months after your first application. Don't lose hope!
Pended means that you are still in consideration, but may get accepted or denied. This is not an automatic denial, I have known a couple people who made it in after being pended!

Second:

When you receive your email from Disney, you need to read it! If accepted, there should be your casting role that you got offered as well as a button at the bottom that says you accept your offer from them and intend to complete the process. I don't think there is any more steps required for pended or denied emails. After you hit the accept offer button, you will need to pay a $300 fee within 7 days for housing and other fees. Once you pay that fee, you get to pick your arrival dates. These can be tricky because some arrival dates are only for certain roles, while other dates are for a different set of roles. The only roles that I have seen be affected by the dates is lifeguard and character performer. When you are done with all of these steps, the waiting begins. Start a blog or a vlog, start finding some stuff to get ready for packing, and find your roommates!

This is all for today, but I hope it helped with the acceptance process! If you have any questions just leave a comment below. Have a magical day! :)

About me!

Well, let's start off with the basics. My name is Aelynn Rodriguez, and I live in the one and only Houston, Texas. I have lived here all my life and I have an 8 year old brother who I adore. This will be my first time doing the Disney College Program and I am sooooo excited. I currently go to community college but plan to be an education major and teach at an elementary school. I live at home and this will be my first time living in a place away from my parents for an extended period of time! I applied for the Disney College Program on March 6th, 2014 and got my acceptance letter March 16th, 2014. My move in date is August 4th, 2014 and I am scheduled to stay until January 7th, but am planning on extending my internship to the full year. I am so blessed to be given this opportunity to work for Disney. My very first trip ever was for my 5th birthday. Ever since then I have wanted to work there and now I get the chance to do just that! Well that is all for now, so c...

The Tips, Tricks, and Treats of the Phone Interview!

Hello everyone, it's me again! This blog will be talking about the Disney College Program Phone Interview! I will talk about helpful tips for the interview and some possible questions the interviewer may ask over the phone. Here we go! THE TIPS AND TRICKS First of all, you want to schedule your phone interview for a time you know for sure you won't be busy or doing anything. You will also need to schedule about an hour out of your day for the interview because it can last awhile depending on your roles. Mine, however, only lasted about 20 minutes. I did my interview at 9:15 pm, that way I knew I would be free from distractions and so I can prepare that day for it. I got ready and situated for the actual interview at 9:00 pm, because I read that they may call you early (they also may call you a couple minutes late), so I wanted to be ready. I sat on my bed, because that is where I feel most comfortable at. This helped me so much because I was in a comfortable environment t...
