I've been lurking on this particular thread, but there are currently no scheduled CP arrivals until the beginning of August. All Fall Advantage CP's (including myself) had our programs cancelled with no mention of us being brought back or postponed. So that's at least a couple thousand potential...

Thank you so much for your kind words. And I am so sorry to hear about your kids and what they've lost as well. This is just such an unfair time for us all. I hope all of our schools do the appropriate thing and give us the graduation ceremony and your middle child their prom and other events at...

that is true! You get it the minute you get your offer letter. I’ve known since the day I got accepted that I was supposed to be attractions. Talked for so long with my interviewer about working Kilimanjaro safari with my background working with animals. He was the one who told me all about it...

I totally understand. Not everyone is going to be happy in any situation. I just hate how much resentment there is towards CPs. If I could be a Florida resident working for WDW right now instead of living in cold, boring NY, I would in a heartbeat. The DCP has been that opportunity for me to...

I have friends and family that I’ve known participate in the DCP over the course of the last 10 years. I also am family friends with many full time employees as well as managers within the company. They all say the same. There are some people that may not be there for the right reason but those...

I think you’re also forgetting that the CPs essentially run the parks after 5 PM. What goes on at night in the parks would not be possible without them. You can ask any CP or full timer and they will admit it. The CPs are an essential backbone to Disney. They do so much for the company. And...

Thank you for your kind words. I contacted both one of the head recruiters as well as Disney Internship's support. Unfortunately all I got was an automated apathetic response. I'm going to keep trying at it though until I reach someone. I'm sure they're being bombarded by emails today.

I seriously can't thank you all enough for all of the support I've received today. It's been an extremely difficult day and some people in my life just don't seem to understand how much this program meant to me. I will keep forging forward because it's what I have to do, and take all of your advice.

Your story is really inspiring, thank you so much for sharing it. And congratulations for all that you achieved. And I hope the same as you. Getting a job in an AZA zoo is so competitive unfortunately, but who knows...maybe this pandemic will change things. Whatever happens, I just pray I get...

Wow, I seriously have no words. Thank you so much for understanding. Unfortunately not many people do. I've been harassed on Twitter and other boards by adults and people my parents' age for sounding selfish and ungrateful for what I've been given in life. I promise, I feel so blessed for every...

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. It's really incredible to hear what you've done with your passions. I haven't given up, I promise. Unfortunately all of the AZA jobs/internships I applied for either rejected me or cancelled their programs due to the pandemic. I won't stop trying though. After...

Thank you. I'm so glad you got to experience the magic for working for Disney. I truly hope that this dream comes true for me someday.

Thank you for saying this. I'm so sick of people saying we're selfish for being upset our senior year and our graduation and our jobs were cancelled. We have every right to be upset and mourn. We've worked too hard for this to lose it all.

Thank you so much for your kindness, I know it probably pains you to talk about the DCP. But you were right, and I should've heeded your warning weeks ago. I applied for 2 PI's with Disney in the animal science field. I got an interview for one and NLIC'd for the other. Unfortunately my...

Thank you...I've applied to many, unfortunately nobody wants someone fresh out of college in the middle of a pandemic. But I'll keep trying. Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words.

Thank you both for your advice, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I have worked myself to the bone the last four years to obtain a degree in Animal Science. It has been the most challenging thing I've ever done. Every waking moment I've had off from school I've been working. Whether it's...

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, my passion in life has always been animals and it's the one thing I've always been good at. I will pursue my dream no matter what since it's something I've had since i was 3. It doesn't discount how hard we have worked to get where we are though. I...

I understand that, but trust me...I had plenty of back-up plans. I've worked my butt off all four years to obtain a degree in animal science which by no stretch is easy. I've worked in zoos, done internships, and volunteered every single break and summer I've had since I was 11. I have not given...

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately in my particular field, it's extremely to get a position full-time with Disney without doing the CP first. I've spoken to so many people that work for Disney in my field and they all told me the same. It's very discouraging.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Stay strong. Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words. I pray that everything does work out, but I still feel so cheated. The way Disney handled this just doesn't feel right to me. I'm so sorry. Stay strong :(
