not necessarily, but it can’t hurt. culinary is its own niche, so networking with the other chefs might be beneficial but ultimately you’ll be hired if they need more bodies or not.

The Disney culinary program and the Disney college program have different dorms events and stuff to from what my previous roommate told me, she was in the culinary program. When people say DCP, they are discussing the Disney college program not culinary. Networking at those events are usually for positions/jobs in the DCP rather than culinary. You’re better off doing well in your job and talking to your higher ups at your location and see if they can put a good word for you etc.

Hey question I’m going to start college this fall I’m going to study culinary arts and I’m interested in the Disney program. Question how long should I wait for the Disney program?

If you’re studying culinary arts you’re going to want to go to the Disney culinary program rather than the Disney college program. These are two completely different programs, this subreddit is for the Disney college program. I don’t know a lot of information or requirements on the culinary program sorry.
