This Is Me

Hello everyone! My name is Katelyn and I have created this blog to write about my many adventures as I take part in the Disney College Program (DCP). This is not only for my friends and family back home to see what I am doing in the sunny Orlando, FL, but also for anyone considering doing their own DCP! I know that when I was applying to the program, I was constantly searching for blogs with insight on the phone interview, character audition, and much more. While researching, I found some really great blogs with tons of information, but also some blogs with either not enough, or the wrong information. I am here to share my experiences to try to help someone else start theirs.

Here are just some fun facts about me. I am currently attending Northern Michigan University in the beautiful Marquette, MI. My major is for now undeclared. I change my mind about 5 times a day, so I just thought it would be best to leave it at that. Family is the most important thing to me. NMU is pretty far away from my hometown, so I miss them like crazy. I absolutely love to dance. By no means am I the best dancer out there, but I just love to express myself through the music. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I just turn on some music and dance it out!

I'm not sure what else to say. I love my family and friends and I will miss them so much while I'm in Florida. But I know that I will have a blast living in Disney. The DCP is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I actually learned about the program while on vacation at Disney World when I was 12. My Mom and I were shopping in the Christmas store in the Magic Kingdom, and there was a girl working there from Michigan. We got to talking and she explained to us that she was a CP and when I got home, I just had to look into it. She said it was the best choice she has ever made. Ever since that moment, I knew that this was what I wanted to do. So once I turned 18, I applied! Now here I am, an official Disney Cast Member!

That's about it for my first post! I will be posting more in the future about the DCP, but in the meantime please feel free to comment with any questions!
