8 Reasons Not To Do The Disney College Program

The Disney College Program, if you have not heard of it before, gives you the opportunity to spend a few months working at the happiest place on earth. I can't fathom any person not wanting to jump on an opportunity like that, though I may be a little biased now that I've completed my third program. However, the Disney College Program is not for everyone. Here are a few reasons that you should not do the DCP.

1. You hate children.

I hate to break it to you, but Disney is packed with these runny nose, screaming, balls of energy. On the other hand, if you simply tolerate children, I can guarantee you will leave Disney at the end of your program with baby fever. You just watch.

2. Theme parks are the worst.

If you hate the idea of going on as many roller coasters as possible, sitting through the Festival of Fantasy parade and stuffing your face with that oh-so-delicious Disney popcorn, then you may want to reconsider doing the DCP.

3. Warm weather is terrible.

The sun, it burns! Well, what do you expect when you live in Florida or southern California? If you hate the sun, try taking an internship in Michigan instead. I hear they have lovely winters.

4. Beaches are equally as terrible.

Again, maybe you should head north. Because we all know that soft sand, warm water and amazing beach-side seafood grills can just ruin a perfectly good day.

5. You hate staying up late.

I have never met a college-aged student who enjoys consistently going to bed at 7 p.m., but I'm sure they're out there. If this is the case, you should just stay home and sleep, because you won't get much of that on the DCP. From late shifts to park-hopping to parties, you will be staying up way past your bedtime.

6. You hate fireworks.

Especially when they are synchronized with Disney music. And when they make a perfect backdrop to the Cinderella castle? Yep, that's the worst.

7. Making new friends makes you scared stiff.

Chances are, you won't know a single person going into your first DCP. And unless you want to be a hermit, forever in the single rider line for Everest or Test Track, you probably shouldn't apply to the program. Because the friends you make here will likely stay in your life for years.

8. Magical moments make you want to puke.

If you absolutely hate making other people happy, seeing a little girl's face light up when you call her "Princess" and ask for her autograph or watching someone else watch "Wishes" for the first time, then the DCP is definitely the wrong choice for you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
