Q: What made you want to do the Disney College Program?
A: I’ve always wanted to work for the Walt Disney Company, it was a lifelong dream of mine, so once I learned of the Disney College Program I thought this was the perfect opportunity to work for Disney while still being a student with my school and also get the chance to network and meet people who could help me in the future with my Film career.
A: It was not, but Main Entrance Operations was among one of my top roles listed when I applied to the program, which consists of 3 different locations where you could be placed: Parking, Toll Plaza and Park Greeter. My first choice for a role was Attractions or Park Greeter. Q: What was your training like?
A: My training lasted a week and it consisted of learning every position in the parking lot, this also includes parking trams. Every day during training I would learn of a new position and what you had to do at each spot. It was stressful at first to remember every position and the tasks of each location, but a month after I officially “Earned My Ears”, I felt fully comfortable on my own in parking.
A: The part I enjoyed the most of my role was spieling on the Parking Trams. This is where I felt I could be most creative and interactive with the guests and where I could really have fun with things and create magical moments for guests leaving or coming to the park.
A: The worst would have to be being outside in the heat, cold, and rainstorms for long periods at a time. Our parking lot is also one of the most confusing lots of all four parks, so a lot of guests that would visit our park would be tremendously lost and wouldn’t be too happy about it and would take it out on us cast members. Q: Would you recommend this role to a friend?
A: This role can be pretty intense at times, but I still made the best of it and I would recommend this role to others, especially if you enjoy speaking in front of large groups of people and can be patient with guests and help them out.
A: The advice I have for CPs just starting in this role is to just take it day by day. At first it may seem difficult or confusing, but I guarantee once you start getting used to each position and start making friends with your coworkers and fellow CPs, things will get 100% easier and enjoyable. The friends you make at work, definitely helps make the job better and funner everyday.
