The DCP Facebook Page

I've read somewhere in regards to the Disney College Program Facebook Page: "use it to find your roommates and then get out." 

I didn't quite understand this because, what would be wrong with staying in a group of all your fellow DCPers? I have to admit, I wouldn't have known when to register for classes for if it wasn't for the group. But now I finally understand what was meant by the previous statement. Our Disney College Program Spring/Spring Advantage 2014 group is basically imploding on itself as people are getting more and more angry at others for what people decide to post on the page.

I will admit, there are some pretty personal posts on there and some inappropriate rants. I also will admit that it's pretty entertaining at times. But most of all I'll admit that I agree with the statement I read a while ago, and I extend the advice to potential future applicants of the Disney College Program:

Use the Disney College Program Facebook group(s) to find your roommates and then leave the group(s).

Mission Timekeeper

So the only thing I can really update you on now during the long, long wait until check-in is Mission Timekeeper. It's basically Disney's interactive game that helps you learn about Disney's roots, the company's branches, etc. in a fun way.

It takes a HOT MINUTE to be able to log into it after you accept your offer with the Disney College Program, I assume because they are processing your information. But when you finally are able to log in, you'll log in with your email address as your username and your candidate ID (given to you buy Disney in your "Welcome to the Team!" email) as your password.

From there you are brought into the world of Mission Timekeeper to save the "Disney galaxy" from this evil fellow and you do that by learning bits and pieces of Disney heritage, located on nine different planets, and answering questions about what you've learned.

I finished the game in a couple days and it was a good time killer, and to be honest I'll probably play it at least one more time over Christmas break before I go to Disney because then I'll definitely be dying over the wait. Monday marks nine weeks until check-in and I can't believe we're in the single digits of weeks left. I know it will go by so fast, just like everything seems to do in life, but it makes things hard to focus on!

Post Course Registration

Here I am four hours later and I was finally able to register for classes! The system was down for what felt like forever and finally at around 2:45am my time (that's Arizona time people) the system was up and I was able to get into both classes that I wanted: Exploring Disney Heritage and Exploring Marketing.

I will be taking Exploring Disney Heritage Tuesday's 4-6pm and Exploring Marketing Thursday's 8:30-10:30am. I am very, very, very excited to be learning from this company!
