That sounds like a good plan! So I'm assuming she took the program? Thats great! Yeah, I'm lucky, my school in Philadelphia accepts WDWCP as credits. They actually support the program and hold presentations for it twice a year. It was a huge factor in where I chose to go to school-- whether they'd let me do the program or not. lol.

Re: DD got accepted into Disney College Program!!

What a great experience for her! Let her know that - as a hiring employer - if I EVER see Disney experience on a resume, I will hire that person without a second thought. The high customer service expectations that are ingrained into their CMs are exactly what I look for...she'll have such a wonderful opportunity, and so many doors will be opened for her in the future, even outside of Disney.
Wish I could go do an internship at Disney

So it was either take a semester off and be home in Boston for the cold late winter/early spring months or down in sunny Florida. The choice was easy!

You mentioned your school was in Philadelphia. Are you going to Drexel? That is where I went for my CP presentation and interview.
