Tips for Acing your Disney College Program Phone Interview

The interview is the most nerve-wracking part of the DCP application process, at least it was for me! Here are some of the tips and tricks that I used in my interview and it must have worked because I was accepted for the Fall 2020 program!

Be Honest

While you may want to embellish your skills and experiences and give the answers that you think Disney wants to hear, it's important to be honest.

Write Down Your Interviewers Name

By thanking your interviewer by name it shows that you paid attention and that you really care about the process!

Smile

I know it sounds dumb to smile while you're talking on the phone, but you can hear a smile in someone's voice. Smiling makes you friendlier and more likable. It's important that you make a good impression since this is your only human to human interaction in the application process.

Be Prepared to Ask Questions

By having questions it shows that you have done your research and want to know more about the program. If you don't have any questions about the program, ask your interviewer a personal question. Many of them completed the Disney College Program so ask them about their experience, or what their favorite part of working for Disney is, or even a difficult question like what was their worst experience. An interview should be a two-sided conversation!

Find Somewhere Quiet

Be sure to be in your own space for your interview. It's a high stress situation and the last thing you need is you roommate to come in and start distracting you or your dog wanting attention. The interview requires you to think on your feet and present you at your best and you can't do that by giving just half of your attention.

Pause and Breathe

The interviewer knows that you have to think. Don't rush into your answer if you aren't prepared to start speaking. It's better for you to take a minute, think about the question and then respond than to immediately start rambling. The interviewer wants you to be successful, they aren't trying to trip you up. They're just trying to see how you think on your feet and how you respond to different situations!

Best of luck on your application journey! Sending lots of pixie dust your way future applicants and have a magical day!

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.
