DCP: Casting

So today I had casting at 11:30. Casting is where you go and fill out important paper work for Disney, get your background check, and get your in-depth work schedule! The only fun part honestly is getting your work schedule. Everything else is just boring haha. But you need it done so you can go to traditions which is your first official day of work.

When you walk into casting you are divided up into two groups. One group goes and fills out all of your paperwork and the other goes and gets your work schedule and you do your I-9 information. Then you switch.

I was in the group where I went and filled out all of my paperwork first. What you do is you walk into a room and you get a folder with your name on it and you go over all of your information you filled out online when applying for the program. They also ask you again if you ever been convicted of a crime since filling out the application and this is your time to tell them if there has been a change. Do not lie because they will find out when they do a background check and you will get sent home. It has happened already for the spring term. It is better to be honest. After that you go and get your background check. Once your background check is done you go into a different room where you get your work schedule. After you get your work schedule you will go into a line and wait to speak with someone so they can explain your schedule to you. This is also where you will need your two things of identification. If you don’t have them they will send you back to your apartment at this step of the process. When you sit down in the room there will be two people. One person will go over your schedule and the other person will type in your I-9 information. After that you are all done.

I went the second day and it didn’t feel like it took that long. I think if you go on the first day you will be waiting around a lot more because there will be more people.

Here is what my work schedule looks like so far:

Friday: Traditions (dress business casual)- 2:30
Sunday: Welcome to Operations B (Business Casual)- 7:30-14:00
Monday: DAKlimation (Business Casual)- 8:00-14:00
Thursday: Merchandise Tier 1 (my costume)- 9:00-17:30

That is all I have so far but I like my schedule! It’s only training stuff right now and I will get the rest of my schedule on Monday.
