Disnery College Program: Disneyland Discounts and events

Disneyland Resort CPs are statuses Casual Regular Cast Members . You will then receive all benefits as a normal part time cast member. This includes a main gate pass that includes 16 sign in days for each calendar year for the cast member and up to three guests, witch are subject to block out dates. This means you are able to bring in up to 3 guests 16 times to the parks. However, if you're only signing in one person, you forfeit two other sign-ins for that day as they don't carry over. You also receive two comp tickets if you work during Christmas time! However, they don't get added on until January when you no longer have access to the Hub (Disney cast member website) where you can print it from. Fall participants will receive Winter comp tickets.

Additionally you will receive a 20% discount on all Merchandise locations, and quick and full service dining locations. Excluding outdoor vending.

Another great benefit that CPs also receive is a three year scheduling seniority privilege. The three year seniority guarantees you the 28-32 hours and possibility of gaining more hours per week, but this is going to depend on the season. However, you are able to pick up more hours by putting in a request. Also it could effect what your day/time/and location you work, but it also depends on your stage scheduler, so you may open one day and close the other or even just working in between opening and closing shifts. Disneyland treats their CP's better than at WDW. Also we get better field trips that the program puts on. One of the perks at Disneyland is the perks you have better networking out there than Florida as Disneyland is a small program. You also get scheduled a lot more event during your Disneyland program.

Some of the events can range from.

1. Welcome Party
2. The Walt Disney Apartment Tour.
3. LA bus tour.
4. The Dream Suite Tour.
5. Backstage tour of the Fairy Tale Wedding department.
6. A tour at the Burbank studio.
7. Backstage tour of the Monorail and Steam train department.
8. Mid-Program Celebration. This event is held on property.
9. Knotts Scary Farm.
10. End of service celebration. Hosted at one of the Hotels. Usually Paradise Pier.

These events can change season by season, but the main thing you want to remember is the events are a first come first serve basis. The events coordinator will send out an email with the events calendar usually the last week of each month along with notifications before the event is open for registration. Some events have duplicate dates, but sign up asap as they do fill up.

 

Additionally they will host different networking events with special guests with leaders from all around the Resort.
