Hey guys, what’s up? It’s ya girl coming back at you with another post.

Okay was super cringy and painful to write. I’m never doing that again…

Anyway, I’m here to talk about DCP bucket lists. You’re going to Disney, so you’re gonna need things to do while you’re down there. But you no idea what you can do or have any ideas. Well, I’m here to help. I’m going to break it down into different sections so you can pick and choose for your own bucket list.

I’m sorry in advance for this list is going to be for Disney World. If someone wants to help me out and send a Disneyland bucket list, leave a comment and help me out. I’ll be sure to give you the credit! Enjoy!

Mid writing edit: I made notes of certain things of when it’s available. So you’ll see (fall program)/(spring program) if it only happens during those programs. Just take into account. Kay, thanks :3

General Stuff/DCP Must Do’s:

• Welcoming parties! During the beginning of your program there will be welcoming parties with different themes. Music will be played. Free food will given. Meet and greets with different characters (sometimes with rare characters not seen in the parks). It’s a great place to meet other CPs and socialize.
• Grocery Bingo. Here’s your chance to win free groceries for your apartment. It’s free to go.
• Graduation. Towards the end of your program there will be a graduation party. A DJ will be playing music. Free food will be eaten. You will Mickey and Minnie in their cap and gowns.
• Winter Formal (for the fall program). It’s a dance where all the CPs get all dressed up and head to Coronado Springs. It happens towards the end of the program. Music, dancing, food, all included. You also get to meet some rare characters.
• Starlit Splash (for the spring program). You get to go to Typhoon Lagoon (I think) and hang out with your fellow CPs all night. CPs get free range of the water park all night. You get music and food. I don’t think you get to meet characters but I could be wrong.
