DCP Housing Tour- Chatham

One of the most exciting parts of the DCP is housing. You have the opportunity to live with new people from all around the world. I was in a 3 bedroom unit in Chatham Square. There were 6 girls total. Here are some photos of our unit! Chatham is my favorite complex. I love how it is in the center of Patterson and The Commons so it makes hanging out with friends easy. I also love the social aspect of Vista Way, but the units aren't as nice. Patterson has the most updated units. The Commons has some of the best floor plans. Honestly, any complex is fine!

I put fabric around my bulletin board to make it prettier

Bed is on risers and curtains are hung with tension rod

Hung frame and jewelry with command hooks

guess which clothes are mine :-P

These storage container things are life savers!

My Role: Cast Service Center Specialist

" The Cast Member Concierge"

The easiest way to sum up my Professional Internship. I am currently a Cast Service Center Specialist based in Epcot. Originally I was going to be in a different role, but due to some changes in departments I am now in the cast service center. The Cast Service Specialist role is considered an "alumni only" role for the professional internships. If you are interested in this role you would need to complete a Disney College Program before applying.

 Some of you might be wondering what exactly a cast service specialist is. We cover so many areas in our role. We are basically a concierge desk for cast members. We handle HR questions, career questions, resume assistance, benefits questions etc. The centers have resources available for cast members to rent (Books and DVDs). We also have a computer lab as well as faxing, printing, and copying services. As a cast service specialist I also get to help with events at Epcot. Yesterday we had our annual cast party (an event for all Epcot cast featuring food, entertainment, and characters) Other events I have assisted with include cultural celebrations in the World Showcase as well as hallway handouts. Another fun part of my role is that I get to go all over Disney property. Most days I am working at Epcot, but sometimes I have shifts in the other parks as well. There are cast service centers in each park (including water parks), each resort, Downtown Disney, and Espn Wide World of Sports.

If you are interested in applying to this internship feel free to send me a message or comment with any questions!!!

I Swear I Am Alive

OK so I have been horrible about keeping up with this blog. I plan to start posting at least once a week again. With my new job and moving I have just been super busy.

 My role at Epcot is in the Cast Service Center. So far I am helping in the center and also assisting with Cast Events. I get to help cast members with a variety of things (insurance, HUB, casting, etc). I also get to help with the Cast Events team and work the Cultural Celebrations in the different pavilions.

Lately I have been spending most of my time with my friends. Many of them leave within the next 2 weeks so I am trying to get every moment with them that I can.

The worst part about the college program is that most of your friends have an "expiration date". There are always some that stay in Orlando after the program, but most people do go home. It is the hardest when friends are from international destinations and you wonder if you will ever see them again.

I apologize that many of the photos from prior posts are not showing up. Once I am able to log in to my personal computer I am going to try and re upload them for you guys.

Talk to you soon!
