    College Program Parents Thread...

    Two specific questions.....when did your DD find out her location and role? Seems as though in years past they did not get this information until check-in but recently they receive an email about a week prior? (I'm watching alot of vlogs on YouTube) Also, did your DD have check-in and Casting on...

    College Program Parents Thread...

    UPDATE: DD was accepted for Fall Advantage in Attractions!!!! Woohoo!!! She was given the option of checking in May 14th, May 21st or June 4th. She didn't want to miss her brother's high school graduation on May 16th, so she chose May 21st. Let the planning begin!

    Disney-themed graduation announcements

    Has anyone ever seen/used Disney-themed college graduation announcements? I thought it would be so cool to announce DD's acceptance into the DCP after graduation this way to extended family but I just can't seem to find anything.

    Disney College Program helped my daughter get a job.

    Me too! DD probably won't end up doing anything related to her major (Communications) but the experience itself will take her far. Although....any kind of role has some level of Communication!

    Disney College Program helped my daughter get a job.

    I was not aware of this until recently but you can apply for the DCP up to six months AFTER graduation so you don't necessarily have to miss any college or graduate late in order to participate in the program. My DD graduates with her Bachelor's in early May and is applying for Fall Advantage...

    College Program Parents Thread...

    Parents of Fall Advantage kids from years past: what approximate dates did your kids check-in? It seems as though check-in is always on Monday so a Fall Advantage program check-in should be in May or perhaps early June. Is Memorial Day excluded from these dates? Do they find out their check-in...

    College Program Parents Thread...

    From what I understand, the applications can sit for awhile before moving on. Some get “chosen” quickly to move through the process while others seem to wait for some reason. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason. As long as they do not receive an email informing them they are no longer...

    College Program Parents Thread...

    I know this can vary depending on role but do the kids make enough money to LIVE and possibly even save while on the program? I know rent is automatically taken out and they will never see it. What other expenses should we expect? Electric, water, cable, internet, laundry, groceries, gas...

    How difficult is it to get FPs 30days out for headliners at MK,AK & Epcot?++

    We are also staying offsite and visiting parks December 30-January 5....insane levels of crowds. I was up at 7 am every day and got everything we wanted except FoP, and I ended up snagging that too a few days later when Disney apparently opened up a bunch of time slots for that week. I even...

    College Program Parents Thread...

    Hi! I’m brand new to all this and so glad I found this thread! My DD is a Senior and will be graduating in May 2018 so she will need to apply for Fall or Fall Advantage. I didn’t even realize students could do the college program AFTER graduation until recently. How exciting! She signed up today...

    Fastpasses Added for early January

    We are staying off-site 12/29-1/6 and I had resigned myself to the dreaded rope-drop dash for FoP. My husband suggested adding another AK day earlier in the week and on a whim (before seeing this post) I decided to check the FP situation for that day....more to check availability of Na'vi...

    Epcot on New Year's Eve

    New Year's Eve will be nuts. We know that. Our plan is to arrive around 10:30 and tour the resorts (Boardwalk, Yacht & Beach Clubs) and then stay in the park until the midnight countdown. So my idea is to maybe park at the Studios and take the friendship boat over and enter through the...

    When does Frozen Ever After Open?

    What time is the new castle opening show (approximately) prior to park opening? Say park opening is listed as 9:00....what time should we arrive at MK and be in front of the castle to catch it? Worth seeing? I LOVED the one at the train station....cried every time. Got me sooooo excited for the...

    Fantasmic and Star Wars fireworks on same night?

    Is this possible? I know it will probably depend on the schedule that day (which we won't know for awhile) but right now they are listed pretty close together. We definitely want to see both (will be going New Year's week) so I'm trying to decide if I need to schedule another evening at DHS to...

    Epcot crowds on Wednesday of marathon weekend?

    Marathon weekend officially begins on Wednesday January 3rd but there doesn't seem to be a race that day. Am I right? Best I can tell, that day is mostly for the Expo. We are planning to visit Epcot that day and then other parks on Thursday and Friday (going home Saturday) in order to hopefully...

    Recent Keys to the Kingdom Tour -Where was your Lunch Location?

    Side question but does this have to wait until 180 days out to be booked? And only over the phone?
