ACCEPTANCE!!!

Unlike my last time applying for the DCP, Disney Recruiting didn't send out acceptance emails in a chronological way (first to apply and interview, first to find out). For example: My boyfriend and I applied, did the WBI, and had our phone interviews just days after applications dropped; however, he found out he got accepted about two weeks after his phone interview, but I didn't find out I got in until 5 weeks, 4 days later! It was painful considering I only waited 9 days after my phone interview last time! Recruiting seemed to be accepting large amounts of people based on their role, not by when they applied and interviewed. I'm just grateful I got my top role!

Don't worry, this time I didn't record my reaction to getting into the DCP again or burst into tears this time, but my reaction was joyful and I hugged a number of the people nearest to me at the moment. I found out while I calling "Photo Call" for a show I was stage managing at the time at UNCW. It was hard to focus on THAT while trying to pick my program dates and notify my family at the same time. 

Just like last time, I also needed to choose an arrival date and pay the housing fees before I officially could say I have a spot in the program.

My arrival date: January 26, 2013

My departure date: May 15, 2013

My plan after my program is to go part-time or full-time if I can, and explore all the career opportunities I can involving the technical and/or management side of all the entertainment down there. It'll be quite the adventure!

This post is my reaction to finding out that I finally got into the Disney College Program! It was (and still is up to the date of this post) an emotional topic for me because doing the DCP is so important to me at this point in my life! Anyway, by finding out that I got in, I also needed to choose an arrival date and pay the housing fees before I officially could say I have a spot in the program.

My arrival date: January 7, 2013
My departure date: May 17, 2013

But I have a good feeling that I'll love the program and want to extend into the summer and stay for another 2 months! We'll cross that bridge when we get there though. I'm beyond excited to be a part of the DCP in Spring 2013 with the role of Attractions! Woohoo!
