8 Reasons Not To Do The Disney College Program

If you hate happiness, magic and ice cream, Disney is the wrong place for you.

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
