The DCP is definitely what you make it but boy, they don't pay! I did two of them, moved to Florida, worked full time for 8 years and quit last July...fun but will not repeat. Wishing you the best of luck with your move back home!
oh wow 8 years is such a long time! congrats on making it that long lmao thank you it’s been great so far just took a little while to settle back into normal (non-disney) life haha
@@sadboycare it is a looong time. I had wanted to quit 3 years prior but hadn’t set the plan in motion and so I really admire you (and every other former DCP cast who quit as soon as they knew it wasn’t working) yes it does take time to get readjusted and I hope all is well with you
O Hai! I didn't know you had a channel?! Well damn I can't blame you for going home. Full time cast get more power in getting time off but when I was a CP I had the same issues as you; inconsistent schedules, forced extensions, and just general bullshit. I wish you the best of luck in pursuing what your heart desires. It is a small world after all so I hope to get to see you again. Until we meet again, O bye!
I think the dcp would be so much better if they decided to actually pay people what their worth. Imo the dcp is a good experience from what I've seen, it has its ups and downs, but I've been seeing a lot of these types of videos lately. So it's concerning. Hopefully Disney makes some changes in their pay situation. I'm gonna sub and see where this journey takes you. Little about me, 29, bi, short, from ny, hella chill, loves Disney and shopping 🥰
i totally agree! most of my friends that self termed did so bc of they didn’t have any money! it’s really bc the housing is so over priced 🤷🏻 nice to meet you tony! that’s for sticking around 😇
@@sadboycare I think it's ridiculous how they do you all like that. I've heard its better to just self term and go apply as a regular non dcp cast member. But I'm glad you decided what was best for you. I'm excited to see what life has in store for you!
Gotta do what you gotta do. That's life for sure. Do you. I just got accepted today and If I go, then I'll be leaving an office job that I'm pretty settled into but at the same time I'm betting on the experience to be interesting/fun. Plus good networking. I'm really wondering and hoping that it can either help with a Disney internship or just a job with Disney. If it's a good stepping stone to a nice high paying career then that's the caveat for me. I can take abuse or long hours for awhile to make that happen. What do you think? Does it seem like you'll be able to have an easier time getting an internship or Job with Disney? I guess I have 7 days to decide. Lol
if you’re looking for an internship with the imagineering team or a full time/part time job in orlando at the parks then yes i think the college program will help. i have found that it doesn’t particularly help with getting jobs with affiliated companies around the country tho. there is definitely room for moving up in the company, but it might take longer than you’d hope if you’re going into it thinking you’ll get a full leadership position right after your program. it also all really depends on where your location is and your role. i feel like this was kinda all over the place but i hope it helps a bit
Going thru their PI, professional internship program sounds like a better fit for you than DCP. DCP is often housekeeping, janitor, food service, maybe attractions etc etc
yeah except i only had 30 hours a week at $13 an hour so i made nowhere near enough to pay for a $700 a month apartment and still have enough to save anything which was the reason i did the CP in the first place

99.99999% of all RU-vidrs who have documented and shared their DCP journey have said that the program is not a financial gain and requires you to save up prior. It’s not a fair trade of time for money because it’s not normal employment. It’s essentially a money pit and any money you’ll really need to pay for your housing and food and normal adult bills will need to be saved up for pre-program. Your function there and the DCP is not a regular standard summer job. You’re essentially paying Disney to work their entry level positions during the worst days and shift times in exchange for souvenir and park-spending-money and their company name on your resume. It only benefits certain people.
