Welcome to my blog!

Hello out there! Welcome to my blog. I was recently hired to participate in a Disney Professional Internship and will be in Burbank this Summer living my dream!

I will be blogging throughout my experience at Disney: From applying, to orientation/traditions, to my actual internship. Please feel free to send any questions you might have, I hope this blog can be comprehensive and helpful to those of you thinking about applying to a DPI in the future or to those who are currently participating in one!

But… What exactly is a DPI?

I have noticed throughout my application process, there are a lot of abbreviations! I will be using “DPI” or “PI” to refer to Disney Professional Internship (because it’s a mouthful!). In addition to PIs, there is also the DCP (Disney College Program), the MIs (Management Internships) and I’m sure many many more.

I can only speak to the PI because it’s the only one that I have participated in. However, from my understanding it is different than the DCP as PIs are internships more focused on your career or major, while the DCP is working more at the parks. Again, I am no expert on the DCP, so please correct me if I’m wrong! I noticed there is a lot of information on the internet about the DCP and DCP participants, but not as much for DPI participants, so I wanted to shine light on this program as well!

I’m so excited and so thankful that I will be able to participate in a DPI, stay tuned for more information about my internship and the process of getting an internship with Disney!

See you real soon :)
