You're becoming so much more relaxed when vlogging! Your hand gestures and facial gestures are a big plus, and it made this one of your best vlogs. It's really fun to watch you grow into this!
I got accepted last week on Thursday for the Disney College program, i am excited but nervous at the same time not knowing what to expect but watching this helps me to be prepared
I know I am probably the oldest person on here, but you were spot on. I did the Program in 2003 and amongst everything I have done in my life, it was one of the best experiences of my life......
My daughter is at Traditions as I type this. She’s so excited to begin her adventure as a DCP. Thanks for this video, it’s very informative and helpful. 🙂
I recently got accepted in to DCP and I am super excited. I'm a little nervous, but it feels like I am finally going home after so long. Thank you for making this video, though I have a question. How do you extend your program?
I wish the dcp existed when I was in college...ya, I'm that old! I loved listening to you talking about the ability to make magic for guests. It was very obvious how much you loved the dcp, made me a little emotional. I remember seeing you in some of JoJo and Kyle's videos during dcp. You're right, make lots of friends and memories. Love and pixie dust Cam 😊👍💖✌
I did the College Program back in 98 and again in 2001. Back then it was just Vista Way which I’m told doesn’t exist anymore. I lived in the Commons when it was new. I don’t think Disney University exists anymore, but my big advice is to put DCP on your education part of your resume and not work experience
I'm doing the program next spring and am thinking about living off-site. Do you think this is a bad idea? i'm worried about missing the events and the social aspect. But what do you think? Having your own space vs living in flamingo?
@@marilenak.1542 it was amazing! obviously everyone’s experience is different and it’s a hard program when it comes to how much you’re working but i had a blast.
Nice video. Nice of you to "pay it forward" to the next groups. I was a CP in '95 at EPCOT parking. Back then, I only found out about the CP via Usenet message board fan sites on Disney. I'm having a serious case of "youth is wasted on the young" - I wish I could back in time to relive/redo my CP experience! I was, in many ways, too young to really do it right - but it helped me grow up in many ways. I had wanted to be an Imagineer since I was kid, but unfortunately the grind of the CP really wore off the "pixie dust" for me and I didn't pursue it. In hindsight, I wish I pursued becoming an Imagineer via any and every channel possible.
I’ve been to Disney World many times and the most recent time I’ve been to Disneyland in CA is Jan 2022, New Year’s week. It was amazing! The castle is so cute and tiny (same with Downtown Disney District). It feels more like an amusement park especially in the Fantasyland area with all the cool rickety dark rides, but I loved the experience, and that was my first ever solo trip. I’m still Team Disney World because it truly is my home away from home, but Disneyland has a lovely place in my heart 🥰. I’ve graduated already, but I’m thinking of pursuing a masters for social work to become a licensed therapist, so if I can get my old lady back fixed with my upcoming surgery (I’m 24 lol), I might consider DCP or a Disney internship.
Thanks so much for this very informative video! I just accepted my offer a few days ago and arrive in a month! I definitely wrote down a lot of your tips :)
may you put a list of the many options we can do besides the parks? im arriving in july and want to organize and do a big checklist!! please and thank you so much for this video!!
This video was so informative, thank you! When you went to Disneyland on your CP, how long did you go for and how were you and your friends able to take time off? I heard it’s super hard to get time off when on the DCP.
So glad you enjoyed it!! If you plan a good amount in advance it isn’t hard to get off! I went for 4 days, 2 days in the parks and 2 in LA! I got 3 of the 4 days approved off and then just had someone take my shift that wasn’t approved! We planned about a month to a month and a half in advance, then I went and told my leadership about my trip and they approved the days they could
Hi!! I’m a college sophomore and just applied the program. Just really stressed if I’m going to be able to go back to school after the program is completed. It seems that most people do it once they graduate. Do you think I will be fine or would you recommend me waiting?
Hey! My best advice is do it whenever you can fit it in with your school schedule! If you can do it now do it now if you can wait a semester or another then wait. Majority of people do it while there in school they just take a semester or two off! Talk to your counselor cause they can really help with letting you know the best time to take off of school or even just take 1-2 classes a semester
I'm way too old to do DCP, but I absolutely would have! I saw a video recently with a girl who self termed. She wasn't happy with her role and wasn't a Disney super fan! No wonder!
Congratulations!!! I was scared too at first but once you get there and make friends/starting/spending every day in the parks you’ll love it I promise!
I just got accepted today and I genuinely don't know whether or not I should do it. I want housing, but I have a cat and I have actual furniture from the housing I have been in prior to the acceptance. I also have another job that is primary source of income for my car mainly, which brings to about 800 a month for insurance and payments and all. I know I can opt out of housing but I know how important it is to be on campus and I know about having another job as long as it's on your days off from Disney. I don't know what to do.
you did an awesome job and made me so excited for the DCP!! how did you become a lifeguard? did they train you when you got there? also, did you just lifeguard for one of the resorts or where were you at? you’re awesome!!
I just got accepted this morning. Big choice to make and super nervous with what to decide. But i would start August 16th and i feel like it would be such an amazing opportunity
Hi! Thank you for the video. I'm going to be part of the Spring 22 and I am so excited🤩 I do have one question. Once you are assigned the role, is it for the entire time that you are in the DCP or is there role rotation?
So glad you enjoyed it! You have the same role throughout your program! Now some people do get force transferred because of business needs but that doesn’t happen often
Please let me know. I applied for the Fall 22 program but i was wondering. Say you’re assigned operations as ride operator let’s say at figment. Are you at figment your whole program or do you get to go to different attractions?
Sorry I’m so late to the game!! I’m just wondering…don’t your feet get so tired?! haha and was there a grocery store close to housing?? Also, what if i’ve never been to disney world before, would you recommend that i get to know it first or do they explain how to get where you need to be pretty well?
My college is online would I be able to still do the classes and work in the parks? I work full time right now too and doing both so I know it’ll be a lot of work but I’m up for the challenge
The Facebook group is for potential participants and people who have been accepted! People make posts introducing themselves and you can find people in there with common interests and become friends with them
Do you think that it is possible to work over 40 hours a week? I have been accepted for the spring program, but I’m worried that I will not be able to do it because I have a car payment.
This is true if you free yourself of the money racket before get accepted you better off ..word of advice you will suddenly have more “friends that have never been in contact you ever” We would say take of all your living expenses 6 months ahead cause you will only make minimum enjoy your time as a cast member. 🎞
hi. i am new on your channel ^^ i am ahuge disney fan. may i ask if u are still working for diney atm? and what do u do? ps : you are very pretty ahahah xD
What about uber and Lyft? Would it be affordable? What are some problems you had with roommates? Do you often find things you want in the parks and hoard 😂
You could definitely Uber or Lyft but it would start get to expensive over time unless you shared rides with other co workers! We didn’t really have problems unless someone came home late and was being super loud when someone else had to be up early! And yes all the time 😂
@@CamsTravels thanks for replying so quickly! I’m looking into the program at the moment to see if it’s a good fit for me. I had another question if people who need service dogs could be accepted into the program?
Have you ever done a Disney college program or plan on doing one in the future??
I’m applying for spring 2022!!!
That’s so exciting!!
I just got my offer I start July 19th!
@@tabithahanson7821 congratulations!! That’s so exciting!!

Accepted a few weeks ago. Glad to see a positive video about the program to make me less nervous after all the negativity online about it.

I did it in 2004 and I agree 100%
We have Walmart plus. So grocery delivery is free to anywhere we send to have delivered
Just getting around to seeing this and I’m going to share it with my niece and nephew since they are both in college! Great video!

I’m late to this video but I did DCP Fall 2018 and agreed with everything you said. I was nodding at every point you made like, “Yup.”
I got accepted a few days ago! I'm so excited for my DCP, and I'll be going with my best friends (:
How was it? I’m thinking of applying in the future

I got accepted to fall 2024 and am so excited. Thanks for all the advice! I'm trying to bring my car - is there employee parking if you drive to work?
Congratulations and yes they do have cast member parking!

You were a lifeguard at DAK? Or AKL?

Payed the fee and now I’m going in January!!
Got accepted move in date is May 22nd 😮💨
I start my first ever DCP August 16th!! 😄
Congratulations!!!
I just got accepted! But I’m so scared and unsure about dropping everything in my life for this!
Congratulations!!! I was scared too at first but once you get there and make friends/starting/spending every day in the parks you’ll love it I promise!
I won't be able to bring my car, so I'll be relying on the bus system. Is this a bad way to experience the program?
I was just accepted for a 6th month program yesterday and I am so excited!!!
Congratulations that’s amazing!!!
@@CamsTravels Thank you so much!
I just got accepted this Monday and I’m so excited 😆

Is there anything that they are looking for specifically when accepting people?
you did an awesome job and made me so excited for the DCP!! how did you become a lifeguard? did they train you when you got there? also, did you just lifeguard for one of the resorts or where were you at? you’re awesome!!
Thank you so much! Yes they do train you on how to be a lifeguard once you arrive! I was just at animal kingdom lodge
I was accepted this morning !!! So excited!!!
Congratulations!!! That’s awesome!!
I just got the email… I got accepted now I have to figure out how I’m gonna pay the fee before 7 days!
Got accepted ! Going in January 18th
Congratulations!!
I applied today *fingers crossed* ❤
Good luck!
I just got accepted this morning. Big choice to make and super nervous with what to decide. But i would start August 16th and i feel like it would be such an amazing opportunity
Congratulations!!! It is such an amazing opportunity, I would definitely recommend doing it!
This needs updating. Now you need to win the lottery for a parking pass at FC.
Thanks for all the great tips! I haven’t been accepted yet but hoping to hear back soon! 🤩😬
You’re welcome!! Good luck!!
Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea are the parks that are a not a part of the Free Cast entrance Benefit since its ran by the Oriental Land Company.
What do you need to wear for Traditions and what would that entail for a guy? Thanks for all the tips!!!
Just business casual clothes!
I plan on doing it in the future and this is sooooo helpful thank you 🙏🏼
You’re welcome!

How was partying there are they strickon alcohol
I'm going in June! So excited! What about time off? Do we get a certain number of days that we can take off or what??
Sometimes you can be working 12 hour / 6 day shifts.
My college is online would I be able to still do the classes and work in the parks? I work full time right now too and doing both so I know it’ll be a lot of work but I’m up for the challenge
I am so glad that they started doing that again. Thanks for sharing. Big thumbs up from #Mombierella 👍 Looking forward to seeing more from you soon.
I’m so glad they brought it back as well!!
how long did you have to wait between the WBI and the phone interview?
Did you bring a car from out-of-state? If so, did you register it in Florida for that time?
Yes I did and you don’t have to register it in Florida
I move down for my program next Saturday!!
thats awesome congratulations!
Got accepted for June 21 and will be doing QSFB!! The same role I was supposed to be doing fall of 2020 RIP.
That’s awesome! Congratulations
i just got accepted a week ago and i am so excited
Congratulations
I leave for my program August 21
best part of the dcp was meeting you 🤪
I’m not sure I know who you are
Anyone feel free to give input….random roommate or roommate selection??
Are there blackout dates on the complimentary tickets you earn?
Yes there is!
Can you explain the fb page? And how you made friends?
The Facebook group is for potential participants and people who have been accepted! People make posts introducing themselves and you can find people in there with common interests and become friends with them
I got accepted a couple days ago!
if you take a car, do you pay $25 for parking for the shift or is there free employee parking?
There is free employee parking and you get free parking when you go to the parks as well
Have you ever met a DCP that had kids? how id that work?
I have not, so I am unsure of how that would work!
I just got my offer today thank you so so much for this!
No problem and congratulations!!
Heyyyy, I just got accepted today!!!
Just got accepted for Spring 2022 🥳
I’ve been accepted for the upcoming program spring 2022
Congratulations!!!
Which annual pass did you get?
I have gold which is now the sorcerer pass
Is this still accurate in 2024😅 I leave in August
It’s fairly accurate! Good luck with your college program!
Do you think that it is possible to work over 40 hours a week? I have been accepted for the spring program, but I’m worried that I will not be able to do it because I have a car payment.
It is possible some weeks especially during busy times of the year like holidays but the majority of the time you might not get exactly 40
This is true if you free yourself of the money racket before get accepted you better off ..word of advice you will suddenly have more “friends that have never been in contact you ever” We would say take of all your living expenses 6 months ahead cause you will only make minimum enjoy your time as a cast member. 🎞
You have the best shirts
Thank you!! I love this space Mountain shirt!
are you guys still friends with Kyle Pallo?
Yes we are
I have been accepted!
I’m trying rn, wish me luck

hi. i am new on your channel ^^ i am ahuge disney fan. may i ask if u are still working for diney atm? and what do u do?
ps : you are very pretty ahahah xD
Welcome! No I don’t not work for Disney anymore
What about uber and Lyft? Would it be affordable? What are some problems you had with roommates? Do you often find things you want in the parks and hoard 😂
You could definitely Uber or Lyft but it would start get to expensive over time unless you shared rides with other co workers!
We didn’t really have problems unless someone came home late and was being super loud when someone else had to be up early!
And yes all the time 😂
@@CamsTravels thanks for replying so quickly! I’m looking into the program at the moment to see if it’s a good fit for me. I had another question if people who need service dogs could be accepted into the program?
Re service dog: make sure you get the Accommodations paperwork filled out with your doctor’s paperwork immediately.
I got accepted on Monday, Feb 14th of 2022
Congratulations!!
