Top Roles for Fall 2015

Hello friends!

Since there’s roughly less than a month until Fall 2015 applications go live (YIKES), I decided it’s time for me to do another top roles post! You can find my Spring 2014 top roles post here


DCP ROLES

  • Attractions moderate interest - It would be super fun to work a Disney attraction, and it has great guest interaction, but there are so many other roles I would want before this.
  • Custodial no interest - Despite having a roommate who told me some wonderful things about custodial (hello, guest interaction and magical moments), it’s still definitely not the role for me. 
  • Hopper low interest - First off, is this role still even offered? Either way, not really for me. 
  • PhotoPass Photographer high interest - NUMERO UNO ROLE. My dream career is to work with Disney’s Creative Media under Fine Art Photography, taking senior photos/family portraits and most especially WEDDING PHOTOS. Getting placed in this role would be a great way to get my foot in the door with Disney photography. Plus, it’s my biggest passion & Disney photo shoots are life.
  • Main Entrance Operations - low/moderate interest - I don’t have my drivers license (yes, still), so I obviously couldn’t drive the tram, but I wouldn’t mind working at the gates welcoming guests to the park.
  • Transportation - no interest - For obvious reasons.
  • Bell Services, Dispatch/Greeter - no interest - Just not my thing.
  • Concierge - moderate interest - Now that I’m majoring in hospitality, this would be a really fun role to work! Even so, it’s still not the highest on my list.
  • Hospitality - moderate interest - Same reasoning as concierge.
  • Housekeeping - no interest - No guest interaction (not really anyway), and I am just honest to god not a very clean person. Ha.
  • Quick Service Food & Beverage no interest - This is not the role for me, sorry not sorry.
  • Full Service Food & Beverage low interest - I’m currently a restaurant host, so I’m comfortable with this type of role, and there are so many amazing restaurants I could work in, but I would still rather branch out and do something different.
  • Merchandise moderate/high interest - I actually really love working retail (yes, I’m weird) and working merch, you have the ability to pick up shifts all across the multiple parks/resorts. I don’t know if I want it enough to put high interest.
  • Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique/Pirates League - high interest - I would work in Boutique again in a heartbeat. My heart is in Cinderella Castle, though, and knowing the dynamics of each store, I would only want to do Boutique again if I were placed back in the Castle.
  • Vacation Planner - low interest - Meh. This would be okay, it’s just not particularly my favorite.
  • Lifeguard - no interest - Not even lying, I do not swim anywhere near well enough to even be considered for this.
  • Recreation - low/moderate interest - I would really only be in this to work Children’s Activities, I wouldn’t particularly want to risk getting placed in the marina.
  • Character Attendant - moderate/high interest - I mean because obviously. Characters all day every day. 
  • Character Performer - no interest - I won’t be attending an audition this season, so there’s no point in me putting any interest in this role.
  • Costuming - no interest - No guest interaction.

So that’s my role breakdown! It’s interesting to compare my two lists, now that I know more about myself and more about each role! One thing I noticed about this time is that I’m definitely not as afraid to put no interest in a role. Disney recruiters will consider you for any role you mark any level of interest in, even if it’s low, so I’d rather be honest and say no to the roles I really wouldn’t enjoy working!
And as always, if any of you have questions about the DCP, about Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique (that was where I did my first program!) or just want to say hello and chat, please feel free to message me through my Tumblr, comment on this post, or tweet me! The more friends, the merrier! 
Have a magical day, my dears!
