Sekhmet - 5 Tips for Meeting Disney Characters as an Adult

i'm proud to say that i'm part of the "in the know" group and always will be. problem is,though that i'm not exactly "well socialized" and just have a hard time talking to people as a whole (or honestly just being around them) so that makes every meet and greet a very awkward (yet efficient) encounter where i just walk up,say hi,give a hug,get my book signed (because i need SOME excuse as for why i'm there by myself),get a picture taken that i don't want because i hate myself,give one last hug and move on (sounds like a lot of steps,but it doesn't last long). i wish i were better at interacting with the characters but sadly,i am not and i don't even have friends to drag along with me and play off of.

Brittany DiCologero - Disney College Program FAQ

Possibly! It depends on a number of factors. You'd need to have a good record as a CP (not a lot of points, basically not calling in a bunch, no reprimands, etc...) and then it's all based on where you apply and what availability is like. Lots of people do stay on after the CP though. I'd recommend trying to save as much extra money as you can before/during your program, because you may be hired but have a gap in work. Your CP could end and you'll need to find your own housing and your new job could start, say, a month later. So having the ability to make that work will definitely help you if that happens!

Joseph - Disney College Program FAQ

Do you get a option to accept a job at Disney after the CP is over?

You do! I believe I received mine in the mail, but there should also be information on it on the Hub once you're on the program.

Do you receive a w-2 for the college program?
