I've been accepted into the Disney College Program and I'm curious about the check-in process. Can anyone share what to expect, any tips, or things I should prepare in advance?
Congratulations on being accepted to the Disney College Program! The check-in process can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time, but here's a brief overview of what you can expect.
On the day of your check-in, you'll attend a few events, including registration and orientation. The actual registration is where Disney will handle the business side of things. This includes filling out necessary paperwork for your employment and housing, getting your photo taken for your Disney ID, and going over the rules and expectations of the program. This is typically conducted at Disney's casting office and can take several hours.
On your check-in day, you might also be assigned your work schedule and your role for the program. It's a good idea to bring a notebook and pen to note down important information.
In terms of things you should prepare in advance:
- Photo Identification: Like any job, you'll need to provide identification.
- Clothing: Dress appropriately for the check-in process. Business casual attire is recommended.
- Necessary Paperwork: You will receive an email before the check-in date detailing any necessary documents you need to bring. This may include your driver's license, social security card, or passport.
Remember to get a good night's sleep the night before, so you're refreshed and ready for the day. And most importantly, don't forget to enjoy the experience and be open to making new friends. Many students say the best part of the Disney College Program is the relationships they establish during their time there. Good luck!
