Check-In!

Hi everyone! Long time no chat!
So things have been soooo busy. I have been working long hours already and going to parks and hanging out with my roomies but I figured that it was time to update you all just a little bit!

My parents, my twin and I started our adventure at 5:30 am on January 18th with two packed cars and not that much sleep! We had to say our goodbyes to my older sister that was not short of tears.. at least from me. We headed out and started out 30 hour journey! Along the way, my parents drove most of it and my sister and I only drove 2 hours of the whole trip. We would get the hotels as late as 9:00 and fall asleep super fast. We would wake up at 4:30 am and start all over again. There were a couple of storms that came up but we would either be ahead of it or behind it and didn't have too much of a problem!

The day of check-in I was so nervous! We had received our itinerary and what housing we would be in and all that was left to do was go to check in and meet my new roommates! My sister's check in was earlier than mine so she got to do everything before me. We went into the apartment and got did a happy dance that we had an 4 bedroom 8 person apartment which meant that we would potentially have the roommates we requested! We helped Megan get semi unpacked and then she left to take her housekeeping test! I went to my check in and met up with some of my roommates Chrissy, Kelly, Sarah and Jessica! We didn't know officially if we were roommates at that point but we were pretty hopeful! We went up to the building and received our program guide that had confirmed that we were all in the same apartment! WOO YEAH! THANK YOU DISNEY HOUSING! We all went into the room and sat and waited to get our I.D. taken. It definitely felt like a DMV style waiting where we just had to sit until we were called up but since my roommates were there with me I was pretty content! I went up and smiled my best smile and as always my I.D. made me look like a weirdo but its all good! I went to the line with the computers and completed my check in process and got my communicator that would tell me of all the events coming up that I could possibly attend.

My next stop since I had brought a car was to go to the vehicle decal section to pick up my repurchased decal! This line was not as exciting because I just wanted to get to the apartment and start unpacking my things! I went up and got my decal and then moved my car to my building that would be my new home. My new roommates are Tori, Christina, Whitney, Sarah, Jessica, Kelly and Megan and I couldn't be more happy and excited! We all met on Facebook and were not able to fully link up with everyone but we emailed housing and then we were lucky and fortunate enough to be placed all together!

The rest of the day we just kind of hung out together and bonded!
Im tired so thats all for now! hahah!

See ya real soon,

Closer and Closer

Oh my goodness!
Its almost time for me to go to Disney and work for 4 months! WHAT?!?
I have so many emotions about this new transition for me. I am extremely excited but I definitely feel nervous and scared! Which is completely okay! Something that is really  necessary is that I had to get my car serviced before we left. Its something that for us driving for so long HAS to happen. My car is still in the shop right now and so far it is going to cost $2,400. Its hard to spend that much money but I know I will be 100% grateful that I did. Better safe than sorry!

This will be my first time moving out of my house and living on my own. However, I will get to have my wonderful twin with me and that helps me with feeling homesick and scared! We haven't started packing too much which is probably not the best thing but we still have a week and a half before we leave for our long road trip. I am the type of person that doesn't really procrastinate but when it comes to packing, I find it really fun to wait for a couple days before and then pack. It makes it more fun in a way. YES. Very stressful, but fun.

I don't have too much to update you all on, but soon I will have too much to write! haha!
I'm gonna go now because I am just babbling.
BYE!

See ya real soon,

Class Registration!

Hi everyone! I hope your life is going swell! It is a Friday morning here in Colorado and we had a mini snow storm in our area! It will most likely be melted by the end of the day because the sun is out and shining! Finals week for me is approaching and I am feeling the affects of it! So many papers, So little time. The countdown is getting shorter and shorter for the DCP as each day comes and I am definitely getting excited for what's to come! My roommates and I constantly talk about how excited we are for this new adventure and I just cant wait to meet them all!


Okay. So 2 days ago on the 16th, registration opened on DORMS for everyone to register for the classes they want! There are different categories in which you can register and for me I just registered for the Distance Learning since I will be taking classes from my campus.
So what are these different categories that you can choose from you ask??? Well I will tell you right now!!


1) The first tab that you will see is "Which course is right for you?"
For me there were no classes on this tab but I am sure they will be available to others that are actually wanting to take the Disney offered classes.


2) The second tab is called "Disney exploration seminar series"
Something to note while going through the site is if you are not interested in the different sections you can just click the "I am not interested in blah blah blah tab" Each section has one.
For this tab there were some classes listed and on the right you could see if it was free or if it costs money. The first class is Disney Heritage which is one of the most popular classes that Disney offers this one closes very fast so if you want it, make sure you write in your planner when the registration opens and make sure your internet connection is really good. Some of the other classes that are offered are: Disney Cast Engagement & Human Resources, Disney Hopitality & Guest Service.... Just classes that help you learn how Disney operates and how they are successful. I wont include every class just a couple from each section.

3) The third tab is called "Disney Professional Development Studies"
This is one that is more specific for people within that major. There was only 2 listed here and you would definitely have to be interested in those topics to do them! haha!

4) The fourth tab is called "Collegiate courses"
This one is definitely specific to interests of different people. There are a lot of corporate options, some hospitality options and some leadership options! There are some fees with this one and some of the other tabs as well.

5) The final tab is called "Distance Learning"
This is the one that I signed up for! I am taking 2 classes from my university and also getting internship credit. By signing up in this tab, I am able to get my hours capped and have some time to do homework. They have to approve the time and I may not always get that time off to do it but its nice to have that option if I need to use it. You will have to submit documentation that you are taking classes.

Something to note about the education registration and just the DORMS site in general is when you have these sign ups that you have to complete, everyone is trying to do them at the same time. That being said, the site crashes over and over again and you feel like you want to pull your hair out. I was at work when I signed up and I was going crazy. I would get to the last page to where I can confirm and it would crash. I went on the Facebook page and some people said to try using chrome and so I did and it worked!
So just make sure to stay calm in this whole process because its painful and a lot of people do want those classes!

Let me know if you have any questions!
See ya real soon,

How I have been feeling so far.

Hi everyone!
I hope you are doing well! I haven't written anything lately and that's because not much has been happening. I did get approved to use my DCP as an internship so that's pretty sweet! but other than that I have just been waiting for the day my program starts.


Speaking of, I have been having so many emotions and feelings about this whole thing. I'm not saying that I am ready to throw in the hammer and not go, but I definitely have been on an emotional rollercoaster. This will be my first time leaving my home and being on my own. While it is definitely about time, I am still going to feel hesitant about it all. I am someone that likes to know exactly what's going to happen (funny because no one really ever knows) and I like to plan everything out so for this to be something that will be a go with the flow and just experience it all is completely new to me. But don't worry am VERY excited and VERY grateful for the opportunity!


Some of the things that I am going through is that people have reached out to hang out and for some reason I don't want to. I think its my defense mechanism kicking in. If I don't hang out with them, I don't have to say goodbye to them. Luckily my best friend Ellie that I have known since high school is helping me get past that funk! We are going to go have a girls day shopping and what not with my other bestie Kimmy! (Shoutout to you all! The real MVP's haha!) Its important to know that I am not alone and that I have so many people supporting me! At times, I will slap myself and say "stop being a diva" but these are real emotions and its good to go through them and experience them. We all have that moment where we leave home and become our own person. We all have those moments where the unknown becomes too scary at times. We all have those moments where we just want to stay in our comfort zone and not feel any other emotion than happiness and content. But, its good to experience these things because it means we are growing and learning. We are becoming adults. NOOO! haha! JK. But really, adults have a lot of hard things they have to go through. I just want to sleep and not deal with it. haha!


As the months become less and less before I leave, I start to think about the time I will be saying goodbye. My older sister will be staying home and my parents are driving us there. Janae and I do not get along a lot but she is still my sister and I love her! I know that I will be sobbing a lot when I say goodbye because I don't want to leave her because now with me actually leaving and it becoming very real, I realize how much of a big impact she has on my life and how much I look up to her. We will always be sister. We will always have that special bond. I HOPE that we will not always fight but who knows.. haha!


Goodbyes are hard.. but they are what helps us grow and become better. Also, goodbye's are not forever.


Thanks for reading my rant on why emotions drive me crazy sometimes. Let me know if you have experienced this or are. We can share the best Netflix movies and shows that help us get through it. :)


See ya real soon,

Facebook and Roommates

Hi everyone! I hope you are enjoying my posts about the DCP and just my path with it in general!
Today is a very gloomy day out in Colorado and it makes me just want to cuddle up in my blankets and sleep all day. I had tap class this morning and it went great! We got out early and so I was able to go get a hot chocolate at the near by Blue Mug! So I mean basically the day is going great! I have a dentist appointment tomorrow so that I can get a filling done so that's not too cool. I have had so many fillings though, so it wont be that big of a deal. Wow. Now I am rambling about random things like cavities.


Today I thought it would be a good time to write about the Facebook page and how finding roommates works.
My sister and I before applying, knew that there was a Facebook page with a bunch of people interested in applying, but we didn't know if we should join it or not. I was a little worried about it because I had heard horror stories from others about how it puts your anxiety through the roof. They post a lot about where they are at with the process and a lot of things that will mess with you more than you thought it could. We didn't join the group until after we applied and took the web based interview and we didn't just join 1 we joined almost all of them throughout the time! haha!


Which brings me to this:

The 5 Different Types of Facebook Groups I Joined:

1. The General One.

This is the one that everyone will join in the beginning. It will have the most information that you will want to know. This is where you will start to remember who is who based on how much they post and you start to root for them to get accepted. Waves are announced here and also any other information that you might need regarding deadlines and such. There are definitely some posts that you wish you could unread because people are pretty vocal at times but you can just ignore and only read what you want. This group is good when waves are happening and you are not in them because everyone is so helpful and encouraging! When people do get accepted, you will see them post screenshots of their emails and it will make your heart sink and you will be very jealous. It makes your mind go crazy for sure but I just tried to focus on the positives during my wait time. This page is also good because when someone wants advice they will generally post it here since there is a big amount of people in the group.

2. The Accepted one.

This is the group where people go when they see that wonderful email saying they have been chosen to be included in the program. You will get a good estimate of how many people are attending with you, but you can only see it when you have officially been accepted which can be a bummer. Not too many posts happen here but you will see those roommate survey posts everywhere stating their arrival date/departure date which is important so that you can find roommates!

3. The Date Specific one.

When you are accepted, you will accept the offer and pay your fees. You are also asked to choose when you want to arrive or depart. There are about up to 4 options, but depending on your role there could be less. After you have chosen your date, you can go on Facebook and find the group that is specifically for that date. This becomes a lifesaver when you need to find roommates because you are only allowed to room with people who have the same arrival/departure date. This will be where you want to make sure you post the roommate survey so that people can see if they have things in common to where you want to room together.

4. The Religion one.

So another type of group that you may encounter is one that targets you religion preference. I joined the Christians page and met people that were similar to me regarding religion. If you are someone that wants to make sure you find people to room with that have similar beliefs, this is the best place to start. There are pages for other preferences of religion but this is the one that I chose.


5. The In Progress one.
This is a group that I joined in the beginning of the process. I was in this status for a while and it was a pretty grueling time. The thing about this page (at least for this season) is that not a lot of people post on this page. The administrators are pretty focused on not posting about acceptances or anything like that on the page. It is used to help people feel encouraged more than sharing that they got accepted or not. This is the page that I least have updates on.


There are definitely other pages that you can join, but these are just the ones I felt like I needed to be a part of.


The next portion that I wanted to talk about is finding roommates!
This is an exciting step in the process. When you get to check in, you will find out where you are living and who you are living with. You can choose to go random with finding roommates or find some on your own through Facebook or other sites but they have to be the same arrival and departure date.


The struggle that you will have with finding roommates is after posting your survey, it can take a while until you hear from someone. You will have a lot in common with people because I mean you all chose to do this program and so when people are looking for roommates, they have to actually talk and make sure they can get along with each other.
My sister and I really want to be roommates because we are twins and it would just work out! We have actually found a group of girls to hopefully room with and they are all soooo sweet! I hope it all works out because it would be nice to have some friends to adventure with. Even if we don't end up being roommates, we will still be friends!


Well that's all for now!
See ya real soon!

The 5 Stages of The Waiting Game!

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well today!
I am at work... as always and I thought that I would write a post about the waiting game of this whole process. After all, this is a big part of the whole Disney College Program because there are multiple times where you are just waiting for the next step of the process!


The first time you are in the waiting game is the very beginning; waiting for the application to open. This one is not as painful as the others. You know it will be coming eventually so you don't worry that much about it. I knew that I wanted to apply but I didn't think too much about it all before it opened. I mean I definitely did A LOT of research, but I wasn't upset or having my heart hurt everyday... haha! That sounds so dramatic!


The second time you are in the waiting game is after you have done the initial application. The next step is the Web-Based Interview and some people are very fortunate enough to receive that part of the process 10 minutes to an hour after they applied. But some people have to wait almost the whole time before they receive one. I didn't have to wait that long, but I bet its a gruesome waiting game because you are pretty much in limbo at that point. Will you advance to the next step at some point or will you just stay there waiting and waiting??


The third time you are waiting is after the Web-Based Interview is passed and its Phone Interview time. You will schedule when you are going to do your phone interview so at least at this point you know exactly when your next step is coming, but you still have to experience all the wait before it actually happens. I felt very nervous and scared during this step. I had never really done a phone interview so I was clueless of what to feel and how to process it all. I just made sure to take notes and get a cheat sheet ready for when the time comes. I will insert a picture soon of what my poster board looked like so you can see what I planned before hand.


The fourth time you are entered into the waiting game is when you are waiting to hear if you have been accepted. This one is the most horrible and gruesome waiting game you will be in. My twin and I both applied for the program. It was August 15th and I applied before her and finished my web-based interview. Both of us got the Web-based interview and scheduled our phone interview in the same day which was awesome! Being a twin has those complications of wanting the same thing or the competition to get something over the other or be better. Its not like we are wanting that to be a thing, its just always there. I had my phone interview on August 22nd which was a Monday and it was at 2:30 instead of its scheduled time of 2:45. It went great and I felt awesome about it! I joined the facebook group at this point and would just read all of the updates in the hopes of easing my mind. My sister had her phone interview August 23rd at 7:25 or later I believe with it scheduled for 7. This is an example of how they say you have to be ready for anything even if it goes after your time before they call. We both entered the arena of waiting and it was so hard. I would say the biggest thing that made it hard was when people would post how well their phone interview went. I felt confident about mine, but when I would read the posts, it would make me question everything! My sister didn't feel too great about hers but we just both didn't know what to expect. 2 weeks went by and nothing. Its a big struggle waiting because it makes your days slower and your mind is consumed of all things Disney.
One day, 2 people posted about being accepted and Facebook went crazy! My sister and I went crazy! The world went crazy! haha! It was super early and from what we could tell it was only 2 people that got accepted. It was an odd situation and it didn't help the struggle of waiting at all. My sister and I thought it was coming and that we would hear soon! But that wasn't the case for both of us.


My older sister's 24th birthday was coming up on the 15th of September and we still hadn't heard anything at this point. We celebrated Janae's birthday and went to bed for the next day. Friday, the 16th, I had a hair appointment and while I was waiting for my turn a big wave started to happen. This was the first big wave that was happening and it looked like it was going alphabetical. I was freaking out and I thought this is my time! I will be accepted! My hair appointment took about 2 hours and when I was leaving I checked my phone. I had a message from my twin Megan and my hear dropped....... she had been accepted to the Disney College Program.... and I wasn't yet. I was so upset. It wasn't that I wasn't happy for her, it was that it was so much more real and that I wanted it so much more. I got home and I broke down right away in tears. My dad comforted me and got my spirits back up but it was still an open wound. This was something that I wanted forever and my sister had applied on whim. It was the worst feeling. But my wait wasn't over. I wasn't NLIC'd and the waves were just started. But realizing that is easier said than done....


I waited some more and everyday was a battle and it hurt so much more. I wanted to go with my sister and now there was a chance that only one of us would get in. Its hard when you feel like they don't want you or that you are second place because that was something that I had gone through a lot throughout my life. Of course that was all my own doing with insecurities that I faced.


September was coming to a close and I still hadn't heard anything. There had been waves every weekend and I was never in them. My mom's birthday was coming on the 30th (2 birthdays in one month!) and I was joking around saying how it would be funny if I got accepted on her birthday since Megan had been accepted on Janae's. Well God was listening because sure enough on that Thursday the 29th, I had been accepted as Merchandise, Spring for the Disney College Program.


AHHH WOOOO YEAHHH! I was so excited and relieved! I spent a good part of that day texting and calling friends and family about the news. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops!


I went to work the next day and my co-workers had donuts and one of my coworkers that actually did the program as well got me a present. I was basically on cloud 9. What are the odds that my sister and I both got accepted on the 2 birthdays of our family that month.


BUT THE WAITING GAME IS NOT OVER
The fifth time I was in the waiting game is where I am right now. I am waiting for my program to start. The feeling of this stage is not as harsh on my heart. Its a fun waiting game of meeting people who have been accepted and counting down the days of when it all starts. Its a roller coaster of emotions because I am scared and nervous within those feelings of happiness and joy. I have never moved out of my parents house and been on my owns so this is completely new to me but I am ready.


If you are still waiting to hear back, don't lose hope! It comes when you least expect it. I think that its obviously hard at this point to keep that faith since it is October 10th but you still have until November. Don't lose hope!


After all.... .all you need is Faith, Trust, and a little bit of Pixie Dust..... Sending Pixie Dust to everyone in whatever stage of their waiting game!




*Something that I did to help the agony of the waiting game was made a lot of Disney crafts. I made Mickey Ears, a Mickey wreath, Wooden Mickey Letters, and many more! Its pretty fun!*


Stay tuned for a post about the Facebook page and finding roommates!


See ya real soon,

The Phone Interview!!

Hi everyone! I hope your morning/day is going well! I am currently at work (as always) and I am just waiting for the morning fog to go away. If anyone is reading this from Florida or where Hurricane Mathew is headed, just know I am thinking of you all and praying for you! Stay safe! That Hurricane looks vicious and its crazy how much damage it really can do!


My sister and I have been anxiously waiting for January to come. I definitely have so many different emotions about it that seem to take place all at the same time. I am super excited and blessed to be able to be a part of a program such as this! I have been researching this forever and when the time came it was a very surreal moment that I was actually finally applying. I also have nervous feelings about it too. I am nervous about moving out of my house for a bit since I have never lived independently. I am nervous about what is actually going to happen during the program. Many things. But what has helped through this whole rollercoaster of emotions is that I have my twin by my side through it all. One big difference between Megan and I is that she is totally ready and okay with moving out and living her own life. I am someone that loves new adventures but this one is just definitely one that came fast. When I was in high school, I went to a church camp for a week at Fort Lewis College called CIY. We would stay in the dorms there with our youth group and just worship and praise God all week. Which was AMAZING! The not so amazing part of it all was how I was homesick. Before heading to that trip, I figured I would be a lot like my sister; ready to leave and thrive. But that became clear that I am going to have a much harder time with these kinds of situations. I know the moment we drive away from my house, I am going to be crying and having doubts about the whole thing. Because where I have lived and my family that I have lived with is all I have ever known. Leaving that comfort zone is something I knew would come, but I didn't know exactly how it would feel. I am going to definitely struggle a bit when I get to Florida but I know that I will be able to adapt to my new comfort zone and all in all, this experience is something that I need. I need to experience life on my own and find myself away from my family that I love dearly. I need to find that feeling of being ready to leave and start my own life. Okay sorry for this rant. I had it on my mind and had to get it out.


NOW ON TO THE FUN STUFF!


The Phone Interview. If you have made it this far in the process, you should feel very proud and grateful of yourself. Some people that apply never even make it into the Web-Based Interview let alone the Phone Interview so if this is as far as you make it, that's pretty great. Some people are placed into Submission status and stay that way until the very end of the process.


The Phone Interview was actually a step in the process that I was excited for. The application and WBI were great but the thing about them is that no one is actually able to hear you and hear the passion that you have. They are not able to get to know you at all and are basically just looking at the skills you have and work ethic before they even know what you are like. I had never actually had a phone interview before, but I knew that this was my chance to show my interviewer why I wanted to do this program and why I would fit well at this competitive program.


I started watching a lot of Vlogs that gave advice for the interview and read countless blogs about what I could expect. I had a lot of time before my interview (August 22nd was my Phone Interview) and so I couldn't focus on anything but the interview. I would write down questions and answer them in my head so that I would at least feel familiar with what they might ask.


In some of the blogs/vlogs, they talked about making a 'cheat sheet' that had questions on it and bullet point answers to help if I got stuck on a surprising question. I am someone that loves notes and it eases my mind to make sure I have something to reference so this tip was one that I definitely carried out! The way that I did it was type the questions that some said were asked and then put bullet points under of like 2-3 words that would help me if I got tongue-tied in my answer. I made sure to organize them in sections like "Housing", "Disney Related", "Program Related" "General ?s about me" "Photopass" (Role Specific headings).... etc..
This definitely helped me a lot because not only did I keep it short answers, I made sure to organize it in a way where I wouldn't have to skim every question to find my answer. Instead of just keeping it on paper that could potentially make a lot of noise, I got a very thick poster board that wouldn't bend or move. I attacked the pages onto the poster board and then I also had sticky notes around it that helped me remember to stay positive and calm. I had one that highlighted the 4 keys of Disney; Safety, Courtesy, Show and Efficiency. This helped because it made me make sure my answers were fitting at least one of these keys.


I scheduled my Phone Interview at about 2:45 MDT which was 4:45 in Florida and something that they mention is that the interview can call anywhere from 15 minutes earlier to 15 minutes later of your scheduled time. That day I got done with work at 12 and before heading home, I went to dance with some friends in my dance group so that my mind was not racing too much! That definitely made me calm! I went home around 2 and that way I would have enough time to gather my thoughts and get my set up ready. At about 2:30 I got a call from an Unknown Caller and I knew that my interview was happening 15 minutes before just like they said.


I picked up the phone and said hello as well as my name and the Interviewer introduced herself as Cheraine (not sure how to spell it) and she told me that she loved my name and knew that it was from the movie Steel Magnolias! She said that she could recite the whole movie if I wanted her to and from there on, I knew that the interview was going to be way calmer than I thought.
*If you ever get Cheraine, congratulations because she was so awesome! She was super nice and she just made me feel calm and like I was talking to my best friend! Which was so great for my nerves!*


She asked me questions about if I have a drivers license, if I had any tattoos or piercings, if I have ever lived with roommates before... just very general questions that are really easy to answer because they are literally about you.


She then moved on to what she called "The fun part" and reminded me of what roles I had put interest in. She asked me questions like why I wanted to do the program and how it could help me in the future. She asked me role specific questions for Character Attendant, Photopass and Character Performer (Reminding me that I would have to attend an audition) and Children's Activities. Photopass was the one that I was aiming for, but I would basically take anything. Except for Custodial because I am scared of bees and they said if you are scared of bees you may not like that role haha!


At the end she asked if I had any questions and I did! I asked about taking classes while doing the program, I asked about continuing in the company after the program and I asked her what she took away from her program that she did!


It was a 42 minute Interview and I ended it feeling very happy and confident in myself! After that all I could do was wait!!


TIPS:
Like I said before, Take notes but not too detailed of notes about what you want to say. Even if its just a reminder to mention something while having your interview. Of course if you just want to go into the interview blindly and un rehearsed, that can totally work too! Its whatever works best for you!


Make sure you take a picture of your roles that you put interest in. I wrote down to do that, but I forgot and I wish I had taken or at least wrote down what I put. It would have made it easy to reference and then I would also have remembered.


If you have a role that you are really interested in, feel free to express that to the interviewer! They want to know what you want and they will take that into consideration. They may not be able to give you that exactly but they will definitely write it down.


If you tell your interviewer that you are interested in Character Performer she will 'sign you up' for a certain city that is holding auditions. BUT if you are unable to attend after all, it will not affect you in any way. They will offer you another role.


Here are some questions that might be asked during your interview:

What does Disney mean to you?

How will the college program help you professionally?

What are you most looking forward to?

What makes you a good candidate for the program?

What are three positive qualities about yourself?

What are three negative qualities about yourself?

What can you offer the company?

What Disney character is most like you?

What’s a magical moment you have had in the Disney parks?

Tell me about your past jobs/work experience

Tell me about a time where you made a guest happy at a job

How would your bosses (past and present) describe you?

Tell me about a time you didn’t get along with your co-workers

Tell me about a time where a customer was difficult. How did you handle it?

Do you mind working and living far away from home?

Do you mind working outside in the Florida heat or inside in cold air conditioning?

Would you rather work independently or in a group setting?

Would you rather work in a slow or fast-paced environment?

How would you handle an emergency?
