Phone interviews are back! This means that after the Web-Based Interview, you will have a phone interview with Disney, which I did not have to do because my interview process was different at the time.
I finished my wedbased interview and I should be hearing back within the next month and I'm so nervous! My sister did it a couple years ago and now lives and works there full time. I really miss her and would love to work in the happiest place in the world with my sister on my side.
I applied this past January (senior year of college) and got to the WBI but got rejected! It freaked me out that you only had 30 seconds per question. I also was overthinking the questions when I already knew my answer. Always choose strongly agree/disagree. I've heard you can click a couple agree/disagree but the quiz is looking for certainty that you are confident in your answers (hence strongly agree/disagree)
Cool! The process has changed since the Covid times and will probably continue to change. Just talk about what skills you’re good at that can be applied to what job you want! I’m sure there are some good tips in the video you can still use for the phone interview, (like remembering the keys and what to do in an emergency) but I would definitely watch phone interview videos to be prepared for the next step. Good luck! :)
Was there no Eye-2-Eye interaction between yourself and Disney Staff during the process, or did they merely confer with your past institutions/content?
There was no eye to eye interaction! In the past there used to be phone interviews where they can hear your voice but they are not doing that anymore (but they might bring it back in the future). I assume they do a background check on you once you give background info to them to make sure you’re being honest and you’re a good fit for the company. Thanks for asking I hope that helped!😁
people keep saying there is no phone interview....my daughter passed the WBI and now she has to do a phone interview tomorrow.....why and what does this mean???
Hi! I just applied today for the program and did the web based interview. I got a web page that said I was a strong candidate after the interview was this the same one that you received ?
I applied for the Disney College Program yesterday and within 5 hours did the web based interview and passed. Did you have to do a phone interview with them?
I applied for a security position. 45 minutes later got my WBI. Responded to all questions as honestly as possible. Did not pass. I am retired military, doing my master's degree, and could not get a cast security consideration. My major is in security, wow...No idea.
I'm not sure if I passed the interview, got a email for a phone call interview. Not sure if that's good or not? (I know usually that's good but it's different from how everyone else is describing their process)
I think you did! It seems like they are bringing back phone interviews. I didn’t have a phone interview though because they didn’t bring them back yet.
I just had my phone interview today Do you know what happens after ? On my dashboard the next step is interview so does that mean that would be in person interview ?
so.... I am an alumni going back (hopefully) for the second time. I got my offer letter and I accepted. However, when I go to DORMS, it only shows my previous program and does not give me the option to pay the fees for my upcoming program. help :(
Im not sure, if it doesn’t match what I got in the video then idk, but there’s no use in stressing about it right now, all you can do is wait and see! Good luck!
Applications are open now but I want to apply for 2024 , would it be a good idea for me to trey and apply now to see how the process goes ? If I get accepted for fall 2023 but can’t do this term Will it hurt my chances for applying for 2024 ?? That’s what I’m worried about the most
From what I hear, it will not impact your future applications. If you get accepted now, it won't directly help you get accepted in the future. That being said, it will not hurt you either. They would be independent of each other.
I personally wouldn’t apply until it’s for the season you want to work in. I’m not sure if it’ll hurt your chances for the second time, and I can see how you’d want experience going through the interview process, but I’m not sure how it’ll look.
@@brynn182 I actually applied and just got accepted today , from what I hear from everyone they said it wouldn’t hurt my chances at all so I took a leap of faith and applied so I could see the application process .
You don’t need it to apply but you need to show proof of your COVID-19 vaccination card after you’ve been accepted by uploading a photo of it. But once you’ve been accepted you have to complete the next steps very very quickly so I recommend getting the vaccine before you apply. But there’s always a chance they changed it and you don’t need a vaccine anymore. It’s really up to you if you want to get it before or you want to wait!
Hi, I applied to the program early November and after doing the web based interview, they had said I hadn't qualified... how can I improve in this area so that I could have a better shot at reapplying in spring?
I have no idea why they would decline you, I'm sorry. I would just do a lot more research on what to do on your next attempt and keep trying! there have been people that have been declined before and got in the next time!
I’m currently in college for film / screen writing . I wonder what roles that they would put me in that relates to that??😭 or what kind of role they would put me in
Honestly they will most likely put you in either Attractions, merchandise, or food service, and possibly custodial. There is nothing specifically for film and screen writing as a role for Disney college students. I highly recommend watching my why I termed video, not to scare you, but that video explains what the college program is truly like. Disney needs Disney college students to work the basic jobs but it is a great way to put your foot in the door because a lot of employees at Disney started out in the Disney college program. Good luck!
I applied in February and there was many summer options! So I would say in the spring as early as you can (fall also might be an option but idk) Also keep in mind if you see options that begin in summer and end in the fall you can always plan to self-term earlier than your departure date and that’s totally fine too. Self-terming means quitting so you won’t ‘complete’ the program but all you’re missing out on is a piece of paper that says you completed it
thank you so much for this video! im a sophomore in high school and i’m really interested in this program but i am curious on like a couple of things 1. Do you have to stay in the resort? (if so then do you have to pay for staying in the resort?) 2. How long are work hours? 3. Do they teach me college stuff while im there? 4. is the college program only for a semester?
1. You stay at flamingo crossings which has a ton of apartments and a community center. There’s a west and east village (I have a check in day video on my channel if you wanna see what it looks like!) You do have to pay rent but Disney will automatically take it out of your paycheck, everyone rent depends on what style of apartment they give you, so some have to pay more than others, I paid $225 a week which is the largest amount because they gave me the biggest apartment randomly. 2. Depending on your role the work hours could be anywhere from 30-60 hours a week. My roommates got 30 hours a week and they were in merchandise and I got 60 hours bc I was in food and bev. 3. Nope. You can take classes online through your school while also working full time like I did (I took two classes) but you can also sign up for disney ‘courses’ like leadership courses or Epcot origins where they tell you the history of Epcot and stuff like that. You can’t really receive any college credit unless you’re a hospitality major. However, I took an internship course through my school where I could give reports to my teacher about my experience and that gave me credit so look for internship courses through your school. The DCP is truly just a full time job. 4. Nope! Some people do it for the summer, some for 8 months. And once you get to Florida and you’re there for at least a couple of months you can extend your DCP to be longer. You can also do it multiple times like every summer until you graduate college! I would recommend watching some of my other videos I talk a lot about the DCP in my vlogs I feel like you would learn a lot! :) good luck to you!
I haven’t started college yet, but I’m going to next fall. Do you think I could apply early or should I wait until after I start? Also, how many semesters of college do I have to complete before I can be eligible for the program?:)
Ohh...I get it now, so basically be fake answering those questions. STRONGLY AGREE or STRONGLY DISAGREE. If you lie, you pass, if you don't, GOOD BYE. Wowwwwww
I just finished my second semester of college, but I don't want to do the program until next Fall. I don't have any work experience, so would that hinder my chances of getting accepted?
I don’t know but I would apply anyways! I suggest getting part time a summer job in case you don’t get it so you get a better chance next time. Maybe instead of listing job experiences you could list volunteer experience if you have that.
Are you still gonna apply for fall this year? If you are I don’t think you need work experience. I applied yesterday and I put no work experience. I passed WBI and have a Pi next week.
Phone interviews are back! This means that after the Web-Based Interview, you will have a phone interview with Disney, which I did not have to do because my interview process was different at the time.
I got accepted into Disney College because of you!
I can’t thank you enough!
Aw thank you so much! And congratulations!
I just got my acceptance email yesterday!! I'm so stoked! Thanks for this video :)
thank you and congratulations!
I applied yesterday and three minutes later got my web based interview. I hope that's a good sign!
Update: I got in on Monday!
@@staleyviolet1506 congratulations!!
Thank you for this! It was very helpful! You explained the process better than anyone!
thank you! I appreciate it! :)
I applied today! And I just finished my WBI! I will be contacted with next stepsss! So excited
Congratulations!!! :)
@@brynn182 do you know how long that takes?
I finished my wedbased interview and I should be hearing back within the next month and I'm so nervous! My sister did it a couple years ago and now lives and works there full time. I really miss her and would love to work in the happiest place in the world with my sister on my side.
i’m looking to apply for next year and this video helped me a lot in terms of what to expect!! thank you SO much!!! you’re awesome!!!! 💗

I’m applying this year!
I didn’t realize this video was uploaded today. I’m thinking about it but I don’t have enough labor experience.
If you have any work experience I would apply! 😁 They’ll train you no matter what you get so I would go for it!
@@brynn182 sounds great, thank you for the advice!
i applied at 6pm today and by 9:47pm they sent me the web based interview. i couldn’t believe how fast it was
i feel that it stressed me out lol
I applied today and well they didn’t send me a wbi, they actually requested an on the phone interview for next week

I just noticed that you go to OSU too, I went there as well lol
@@alexanderhernandez8524 cool! Go pokes! :)
what if you don't have any job experience?
I've completed the WBI, but I've received no news/email since then. Does a response happen automatically or can it sometimes take a few days etc?
some people have to wait weeks for their response. I know it sucks, but all you can do is wait.
Was there no Eye-2-Eye interaction between yourself and Disney Staff during the process, or did they merely confer with your past institutions/content?

people keep saying there is no phone interview....my daughter passed the WBI and now she has to do a phone interview tomorrow.....why and what does this mean???
I apologize for the late response. This is because Disney brought back phone interviews and they changed the interview process.
Hi! I just applied today for the program and did the web based interview. I got a web page that said I was a strong candidate after the interview was this the same one that you received ?
Yes! There is a very high chance you’ll be accepted!!! Congratulations :)
@@brynn182 How long after this did you get in? I got this too!
I applied for the Disney College Program yesterday and within 5 hours did the web based interview and passed. Did you have to do a phone interview with them?
No I did not, I explain this if you keep watching
I applied today, got an instant email saying I wasn’t elegible, but I fixed my application so hopefully they’ll check it again and I can move on. 🥺
Good luck!

Hii I wanted to ask if it says in consideration after the WBI is that a sign that I will not get it?
Im not sure, if it doesn’t match what I got in the video then idk, but there’s no use in stressing about it right now, all you can do is wait and see! Good luck!
@@brynn182 yes! Thank you I got an email this morning to schedule my phone interview 😁

Hi, do you know how long the web based interview was? I turn 18 on Friday so I’m planning on applying then!
Did you have to have you COVID-19 vaccine to apply or can you get it after you've been accepted?

You have to complete one semester of college before you apply and to be eligible for the program.
You have to complete one semester of college before you can apply so you can’t apply early anyways!
