Ahhh I'm coming April 1st, & since i'm flying in none of my parents are with me, I'll have large suitcases AND my ESA who's still technically a puppy...Yeah, I'm NERVOUS for check in. Since I don't have a car I'll have to take a Lyft and gosh idk if they'll let the Lyft driver in to drop me and I'll have to walk all of that with my stuff.. *screaming into the void*

coming back to this years later and i can say i did a disney college program!! i did fall 2022 and it was one of the best experiences of my life. your videos really inspired me to do the disney college program!

Thanks so much for filming this video! I got accepted for Fall 2020 and I move down in three months yay! I'm super nervous but this video helped me a ton and let me know what to expect!

This is gonna sound weird... but I can smell this video. 😂 I basically grew up in Florida (Melbourne Beach, but I live in New York!) and it just has such a distinct smell. It’s always the first thing I notice stepping off the plane, and always have to drive home - well, my grandma’s house - with the windows down. I’ve always wanted to the DCP! I’m about to start my first year of college, and I plan on applying fall advantage for my sophomore year! Your videos have been so helpful to prepare, but also give me a little of that “Gr, I just can’t wait!!”

I am debating not going because i am nervous to have so many roommates. I’ve had bad experiences with roommates in the past but this made me optimistic that it will be okay and maybe i’ll make some bestfriends for life.

im so jealous of all the fun.. makes me regret not doin the program..

hi !! so im a junior in high school and am currently looking into both dcp and semester at sea (two VERY different things, i know). and i am wondering if you looked into any other programs (internship/abroad) before choosing dcp and also how you found/picked your roommates

@riss_papa

4 жыл бұрын

I was looking at an australia study abroad compared to disney. I ended up choosing disney because I didn’t want to miss a semester at my college since I loved it (I did disney after I graduated) and there was also no time zone change and my family and boyfriend could visit me really easily since it was so close! Semester at sea seems amazing and you travel the whole world and get real cultural experiences. Disney is amazing too but you’re working for a major company and the closest you get to traveling the world is the world showcase in epcot 😂 very very different options but both are amazing experience
