Hi all;

So the TLDR is two people are mad at each other and person A thinks person b is me (we are not; even person B told Person A we arn't the same)

Person A is now trying to find out where I'm working at DCP (they know my name and where I currently live). They also said they contacted the heads already to get me fired.

Im worried they might actually show up at the DCP; is there anything else I can do except private my stuff? What should I do if they actually show up?

Hi! If you decided to bring your car with you on your program, did you drive your car to Florida or ship it?

I'm trying to decide which route would make the most sense. Driving across the country sounds really overwhelming but shipping my car and flying out sounds rather expensive 😕 I'm an August arrival so I need to figure it out really soon.

I'd love to hear how much it cost, how many days the drive took (if you drove), or what car shipping company you used (if you shipped). I have a Tesla so if anyone else does, I'd love to hear how charging or shipping went for you!

Also, would you make the same decision again ? Would love to hear anything you wish you’d known beforehand!

Thanks in advance! :)

With rent taken out how much are you truly making each week? I know your expect to come with some money to your name since rent will take out a nice chunk so I’m just wondering

May be a weird question. I arrive August 10th and I’m dead ass super nervous cuz I’m not brining my car and I wanna make sure I make it to work on time with taking the shuttle buses. One thing I’m worried about is if something happens with bus delays, will they get upset if you’re late because of that? Or is it something to avoid if you get there early before your shift. Sorry, I’d just like some nice advice for what people do with the shuttle buses for making it to work on time! I know it depends on the park, but any advice would be nice! Ty all!💜

I just had to drop out of my program and I have several mixed emotions. To be clear, I dropped before my arrival so I wasn’t penalized. I mainly dropped because my grandma had a small stroke and knowing that her health is declining and not being here for the holidays, it seemed like the only option. It also is going to be too expensive for me to go. Even working and saving isn’t going to be enough. Im also considered “old” in terms of the program. I’m already in my late 20s and I’ve read some things that the younger program attendees have said. I mean no harm when I say this, but I don’t want to deal with drama. From what I’ve read, it seems like a lot of the younger participants don’t want to be surrounded by older participants. I hate that that was a reason I had to turn down my offer.
I’ve already graduated so it would have been just for fun, but I just want to know I’m not making the wrong choice.

there is a 33 year old that i work with that has nonexistent drama with literally everyone. everyone is against everyone and no one does their job. the 33 year old will literally go to another coworker and gossip while forcing one person to do the whole work load. I don't want to narc but it is forcing some of us to work so hard we feel like we will pass out. BASICALLY should i narc?

does anyone know when August 3rd housing will be released to us?

Hey!! Just found out I’ll be in a 4x4 for the program. I’m purchasing bedding ahead of time because I’m driving. Are all beds in a 4x4 a full size? tia

The airing nice in the apartments?? I’m already planning on getting a fan for white noise (as long as my roommate is ok with it). I’ve never lived in Florida before so I don’t know how hot it gets inside buildings depending on the central airing. I like a cold room to sleep in😔💔

Hello! I am a current participant in the DCP and my role is a QSR at Connections Eatery in EPCOT and I'm having some trouble figuring out if this is all...worth it. Now if I went on a long tangent about my experiences in this program so far i'd have to put a TLDR at the top- I don't feel like doing that, ANYWAYS. Im my recent post I talked about how I extened in the Culinary program because it's more in line with my major:: Baking and Pastry Management. And with that I also got my location which is the EPCOT Production Kitchen. Originally I was very excited for the role, but my excitement died when I didnt really hear great things about that location. And not say too much but I am an African American woman so I heard that might have a lot to do with it.

Is there anyone who is in the Disney Culinary Program and has had experience with that location that can tell me about their experience there? And is it worth staying for or should I take my talents a 5 star hotel and bake there?

Hi guys!

Does anyone currently on the program play Lorcana? I brought a deck with me because I just started playing briefly before coming here. I'd love to find someone to play it with!

I just moved to Orlando and I’m 19 and am looking for some fun things to do for the Fourth of July. Are there any events going on, pool parties, fireworks groups, or anything else going on? I'd love to meet some new people and make friends!
If anyone has recommendations or is looking for someone to hang out with tomorrow, let me know!

Hello! I just moved in June 22nd, if there are any group chats with people who just moved in, or any others with dcp’s, I’d love to join. I’m gonna be at Disney springs a ton since that’s the most accessible movie theater to me, and I love watching sports and playing basketball. I’d love to meet new people, so please reach out!

08/10 arrival
i am going to have my boyfriend come fly out with me and i have seen a lot about move in day, but not move in week. i am just wondering what does move in week look like? i

know you get the complimentary tickets for yourself to use and would like for him to join me in the parks that week if i have nothing planned. i know we would have to buy his own tickets to the parks, but if my week is chaotic then he should just fly back the 11th or something? just curious as to what the week looks like and if my goal is achievable thank you!

I’m coming down 8/10 and I’ve heard some say we get our blue ID on check in day and others say it’s after traditions. Which is it?

Adding onto this but if it’s on Friday then how do we scan for stuff like food and merch? Do we bring down a magic band?

Hi guys! I just got my role! F&B-EC Festival FOH QSR! anyone else? I’m excited

I have been feeling ill for the last few days. I was able to get the shifts on these days (4) taken except tomorrow. If I call in sick tomorrow could I get in trouble? I’m off for a couple of days after tomorrow so it would be 7 days total of no work including a sick day.

I have been dreaming of being a Photopass photographer for my whole life and I just graduated with a degree in Media Production and i just have no words!! Share your role below if you want and we can hype each other up!!!
