Other Disney-Related Sites

DISboards
A fantastic message board site dedicated to Disney parks and vacations.  Look for the College board, where you will find a plethora of information about the college program including past, present and hopeful CP's/ICP's.  Also a great place to ask any questions you might have.

WDWIP.com
This website specifically looks at the international Disney Programs.  Unfortunately their information on the Australian/New Zealand program isn't very detailed, but it's still a good reference.  This site also has excellent discussion boards/forums where you can get to know other ICP's!



DCP/ICP/CRP Blogs

Universal Aperture (Formerly Jane Does Disney)
A great Blog by Jane who did the ICP in 2013 and is now working as acruise ship photographer.  She's from the UK but I found her blog and vlogs super helpful.  She has a link to her YouTube channel on her blog.

Party Time at WDW
Kaela's tumblr is where I got the inspiration to write my DICP guide and it is Ah. Maze. Ing.  Pretty much a comprehensive guide to the DCP, she covers so much information and I've found it super useful.  It is again from an American perspective so some things aren't applicable but it's still very helpful. 

Where Internship Dreams Come True
This is one of my favourite DCP blogs around.  Kate completed the College Program, then a special alumni-only summer College Program and THEN a Disney Professional Internship!  And the best part is that she blogged the whole experience.  She also talks about her experience with having certain medical requirements, which is something that you don't see a lot of on blogs, so it's really interesting. 


Ears on Emily
I recently found this blog via Pinterest, and she blogs her entire CP experience with some fantastic insights.  Again, she is American and doing the US College Program but she still gives an excellent insight into the program.

WDW CP Blog
This is less of a personal journal and more of an unofficial mini-guide with a few personal experiences thrown in.  However, It's a great starting point and goes through all the basics from a CP who got to work on Expedition Everest when it first opened!



DCP/ICP/CRP Vlogs

Amy Puddles DCP Fall 2013
This is my favourite DCP vlog out there.  She is American and did the domestic college program in the Fall of 2013.  Amy vlogs her whole experience on the program and it gives you a great view into some of the fun relationships and experiences you can gain on the program.

Pixels and Pixiedust
Megan's vlog is one I definitely reccomend for anyone but especially if you are doing the Australia/New Zealand program.  A spunky little kiwi, I guarantee you will fall in love with Megan and her friends.

Sarah's DCP Adventure
My current Disney Program viewing!  Another fun vlog that I'm really enjoying so far.  The videos are a little on the long side so be prepared to skip some parts.  Also, just a warning that she films some of Traditions (which I didn't think was allowed, but there you go), and if you don't want to see that then you might want to skip that particular video.

Carli Pope
Carli did the lesser known Disneyland Resort College Program in the Fall of 2012 and is now doing the Spring 2014 program at Walt Disney World.  Carli is super cute and so much fun to watch, plus her packing videos are really unique!

Jane Does Disney
I've linked to Jane's blog in the section above, but this is the link to her vlog.  A great perspective from a UK ICP.

Amy's DCP
This is the blog series that got me excited about Disney Pin Trading!  Amy's blog is really comprehensive and will definitely get you excited for the program.

Kelsie Doing Disney
This is one of the most well-known DCP vlogs out there, probably because it covers a lot of useful information and gives a good insight into what the program is like.  Definitely worth a watch.
