Getting Accepted!

Hola!

I guess I can talk about my acceptance timeline if only a little bit. Well I applied to the Disney College Program the day that applications came out which was January 26th. I submitted my application somewhere between 6-8pm that night, I remember this because I was in class! Around an hour and a half later I received my Web Based Interview link and I was able to complete that and scheduled my phone interview for the following week. The web based interview is quite simple, it is like a personality test a way for Disney to see if you would be a good fit with the company. Following that was a long week of waiting for my phone interview to come around, that week ended before I knew it and then I was sitting in my sofa with my index cards and my notepad waiting for my phone to ring as I watched Brave. After my phone interview the real wait began. Two weeks went by and I heard nothing, I was still In Progress though so that kept me at ease. In the meantime I joined like 4 Facebook groups for DCP, including the 21+, one for Greek Life, and a Puerto Rico Group. These groups were the thing that kept me going because it was a lot of fun to interact with people on the same boat as I. Acceptances started rolling out the week of February 16th, this was the first wave with a lot of the hospitality and concierge acceptances, one of my close friends received his acceptance at this time which was very exciting.

My Acceptance Email

The week came to an end and I didn't hear anything from Disney it wasn't until the following week on Friday February 27th that I received my Congratulations Email, the email I had been waiting for forever. I was ACCEPTED for the Fall Advantage program in Walt Disney World with the role of Recreation, this was my top choice so it was very exciting to open the PDF containing my full letter. After getting accepted the few days after that involved a lot of interactions, I joined two more groups one for my arrival date and one for Recreation.  I will be arriving to Vista Way on the first Monday of check ins and I could not be more excited, I even found my roommates, more on that later though.

After my friends came over to celebrate, and I had come back down from cloud 9 :)



Stay Disney my Friends!
