How Many Time Have You Been To Disney? Too many to count? I honestly have no idea.

 Other Random Facts:

-          I spent a year on the program in 2014, so I’m very familiar with the program and have lots of info on it

-          I’ve been to Disneyland Paris, but I’ve yet to make it to Disneyland on the west coast sadly

-          On my previous program I performed in the Cast Choir for the Candlelight Processional (with hosts NPH, Jodi Benson, and LeVar Burton!)

-          I am a big fan of most things nerdy, so I have moderate amounts of fandom merchandise scattered about (Hot Topic is my weakness) and I’m always up for movie marathons and the like

-          I’ve been on tours of several WDW attractions at this point, and know a decent amount of fun facts and random stories about them

-          I can sometimes be a bit shy at first when meeting people, but I’m a very warm and loyal person once I get to know people

-          During my first program one of my biggest regrets was not taking enough pictures, so I’ll probably be messing with my camera a bit more this time around

-          I spent last summer in Europe, so if you wish to subject yourself to it, I’m always up for sharing pictures and stories

-          My DCP hobbies include spending every day in the parks (and being asked by my co-CMs why I’m always there), staging poses for ride photos, and putting off going grocery shopping until it is absolutely necessary.

I Finished My Phone Interview

I finished my phone interview! I think I did pretty good!  I tried to smile a lot and use the interviewer’s name a lot.  She mostly asked me questions about my time at Disney before since I’m an Alumnae. 

This is what I remember being asked:

What would I do in an emergency?

What would I do if a roommate conflict came about?

What roles do I feel most qualified for?

What skills have I learned from my past jobs?

What would be different about doing the DCP again?

Other than those questions it was mostly regulatory stuff like “can you stand for long periods of time?” etc.

1. How old are you? I’m 22.

2. What’s your current job? I work as a writing tutor at my university.

3. What are you talented at? I enjoy/am quasi-good at singing and making cards. 

4. What is a big goal you are working towards (or have already achieved)? I’m working towards reapplying for the DCP for Fall 2017! Can’t wait. Apps should drop any day now. I’m high-key terrified that I won’t get back in even though I’m an alumna.

5. What´s your aesthetic? Laying in bed reading with a thunderstorm outside and a big fireplace and a hundred pillows inside. Plaid flannel button-fronts. Long curly orange-red hair. Long, monochromatic painted nails. Books stacked up on the night stand, in the backpack, in the passenger seat of the car. Dirty disposable shot glasses on the kitchen counter the next morning. Green silk pajamas. Candles everywhere, burning so long there’s an inch of melted wax on top. Glasses full of ice and Dr. Pepper sweating on patio furniture. Denim short-shorts and tanktops. Pigtail Dutch braids and big sunglasses.

6. Do you collect anything? I used to collect autographs. I’ve always collected books, but I try to keep it lowkey. Lately, I’ve been collecting Tsum Tsums. 7. What’s a topic you can always talk about? Disney...any of my tv shows, whatever book I’m currently reading.

8. What’s a pet peeve of yours? I was just complaining to my roommate the other day about a big pet peeve, but I can’t remember what it was. I’ll go with leaving lights on in rooms you’re not using.

9. Good advice to give? Get enough sleep.

10. What are three songs you’d recommend?

1) Run by Daughter

2) Work Song by Hozier

3) My Heart with You by The Rescues

4) Bonus! Drop the Game by Flume & Chet Faker (check out the music video)
