***This is just my personal timeline; every person who applies to DCP has a different experience!
My Role
​
A surprise to many, I got my top role, custodial! Why would I want to pick of trash and clean bathrooms all day? Guest interaction, freedom, guest interaction, getting to be outside a lot of the time (in the Florida heat and sun? Your girl needs a tan, okay?), and guest interaction. Did I mention guest interaction? Custodial is one of the highest guest interacting roles. Custodial cast members are everywhere in the park and always among the guests. One of my biggest reasons for wanting to do DCP was to meet people from around the world and interact with guests, and with this role, I can do that. Custodial cast member costumes also allow the freedom to work at many different locations, and who wouldn't want to experience working at all four parks? I have met and talked to so many people that say that this is the absolute best job at WDW, and I am SO excited to start my journey as a custodial CM!
​
I'll be working in Epcot-Future World!
