Do not. Disney College Program is horrifying, your pay is shit, your hours are shit, you share a bedroom with a kid with brain problems who hides all of his underwear in a safe and makes noises all night long (okay maybe that last one was just me).

There's so many willing applicants that you are extremely disposable. They'll kick you out for pretty much any reason you can imagine.

quick edit: Apply for a seasonal position if you want to work there. The job itself was actually pretty rewarding, aside from random guests being assholes. It's the college program that is a complete nightmare.

Never forget.

Are you going to keep your name when you get married? To be perfectly honest if I was marrying someone with the last name of "Belmont" I would immediately demand to drop my own last name and take hers. And then eventually have children named Richter and Simon etc.

Dunno, as the OP said, seasonals aren't guaranteed hours. From what I've seen, CP's sometimes barely make enough to pay rent though, since you aren't "guaranteed" hours either. And your paycheck comes with rent already deducted, so on a short week you get a paycheck of a whopping $10 or something ridiculous like that. The apartments are anywhere from 4-12 people in them, and being in a larger group of people does not lower your rent cost whatsoever. Everyone pays the same, extremely-expensive-considering-the-shoddy-accommodations, rate. You will very likely not be able to afford groceries/food without a secondary form of income of some kind as a CP, especially if you feel the urge to eat at the parks sometimes (and of course you do, you work there, the restaurants are admittedly fantastic).

There are also an obscene amount of rules. If you're found at someone else's apartment past 1 AM (yes, they go knocking on doors if they suspect), you can be terminated. Doesn't matter if you're married, dating, engaged, whatever. On that note, there are no coed arrangements -- not even if you and your spouse are both going. And good luck getting any time together, since each of you have a literal roommate sleeping 10 feet away from your bed. They know everyone's schedules, since they make your schedules, so they'll know an exact time when everyone in your apartment is working. They'll send someone to "inspect" while you're all gone. He'll knock, as they are required to knock, but of course no one is there so in they go to look around for anything suspicious. Suspicious includes obvious things like alcohol, bongs, drugs, etc... But also includes women's clothing in a men's apartment, and vice versa. Someone I knew swapped rooms (him and his roommate both had girlfriends who were roommates, so each swapped eachother to share a room with their SO), and they found a drawer full of bras, questioned him, and terminated all involved.

It's a shithouse. I highly recommend avoiding it.

It definitely is a great springboard if you can tolerate it long enough to get through, they aren't entirely wrong. It's just shitty during.
