Kelsey's DCP Life @kelseysdcplife - Tumblr Blog

hi! I just accepted my extension for Hospitality and I am so excited! I'm currently resort custodial at DAKL for the dcp and I'm so excited to try out this new role! I just found your blog and was wondering what advice you might have to incoming hospitality? So nervous to start but I don't start for a while (not until January 4th)

That is so exciting, in terms of your new role and receiving an extension! I would definitely say be prepared for a lot of training. It took about 2 weeks before I earned my ears in hospitality. Also know that every guest will have different situations with their reservations! If only every check in was as easy as training makes it seem. But it is a great role and you will have a blast! Enjoy the guest interaction, and the air conditioning! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi! I just found your tumblr and I think it's extremely helpful. My sister just applied to the dcp and I'd like to ask you a question on her behalf since she doesn't have a tumblr. She applied already, sometime in August when the applications first came out. However, she hasn't gotten an email saying that she needs to set up a wbi, or anything about the next few steps in the application process. Should she email them asking if her application was successful, or wait it out? Thanks (:

As long as her dashboard shows that her application has been submitted, then she is a-okay! I know that apps have been moving extra slow this season, so I wouldn't worry yet! Good luck to her!

Hey! I just scheduled my phone interview! (eee!) I saw you said you had lots of questions prepared, I was wondering if you had any good resources for sample questions. I want to be super prepared. :)

Congratulations! I did have several questions prepared. I found most of them using google searches for DCP interview applications and through the DCP Facebook group! Honestly, just answer the questions truthfully and prepare yourself like you would any other interview and you will do great! Good luck!

I sent in my application 2 days ago & received an email to take the WBI 2 hours after I sent it in. I completed the WBI yesterday morning & I haven't heard anything. My dashboard says my application is still in progress, but I thought I would know if I was proceeding in the interview process right after the WBI. Is this a bad sign?

Definitely not a bad sign! My best friend took her WBI and didn't hear back about a phone interview for 4 days during this recruiting season. I believe that the recruiters are taking a lot more time during this season in terms of interviews and acceptances because of how large the program has become. So don't worry, breathe and wait! Good luck to you!

A Pirates Life for Me

Ahoy mates! I suppose I should update y’all on my program!

If you did not already know, I am an attractions hostess at Pirates of the Caribbean. I absolutely love my job. The ride is definitely temperamental which makes my days quite interesting. The cast there are fantastic. I had such a close knit family back in Fantasyland, and made some great friends at the All Stars; so I was doubtful my new cast would be anywhere near as great as my past CP. I am glad to say I was proven wrong in so many ways.

This CP is already completely different than my last. First off, I have my car! Thank goodness for that is all I can say. No more Transtar! I live in a 4 bedroom at Chatham Square, meaning there are 8 girls in this apartment. It’s definitely an adjustment for sure, but most of the kinks have been worked out which is fantastic.

The bonds I have created with so many people have already greatly impacted my life. Some Spring Advantage CP’s just recently left. The issue is I wasn’t planning to create strong relationships with people this early and then saying goodbye to them almost immediately. I had to say goodbye to some amazing Cast Member’s and friends which is always the worst part about the College Program. But I know that they will all do great things in the future and am excited to see where their futures lead them.

I was scheduled for my first ever PAC (Parade Control) shifts during the 3rd and 4th of July. It was definitely interesting, and I am glad that I was scheduled to them; however, I will be completely content living my life without ever doing another PAC shift. I definitely haven’t been getting the hours that I was used to in Fantasyland. I am more often than not scheduled a consistent 35-40 hours. I still haven’t decided if I am thankful for the shorter hours or want the overtime, I like money what can I say!

I will be turning 21 on this program! We already celebrated one of my roommates 21st at Crystal Palace a few weeks ago, and mine is coming up in a little under 2 weeks, exciting stuff. I’m excited to finally be 21 because I can go out to bars and what not with everyone, instead of saying oh no, I can’t I’m not old enough… Acca-awkward.

I still love the Magic Kingdom with my whole heart. I don’t believe I will ever lose the magic that comes with walking down Main Street and seeing Cinderella Castle ahead of me. It’s weird for me not to be right behind the castle anymore, but I can still see Wishes and the parades pass by which is new and fun!

Anyways, y’all have a lovely day and make sure you keep your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the boat at all times. We don’t want y’all to have to abandon ship!
