Might not be the best place to put this, but I think the questions you ask are the trickiest part. They're expecting well thought out questions.
Ask one about logistics/details (I've always been interested in the utilidors. Could you tell me what you know about ...). That shows you're well read.
Ask about your interviewer's personal experience at Disney. That shows you're friendly and will help your interviewer remember you.
Finally, ask about a couple details of the program. What's the day-to-day for Attractions, something about housing, etc, etc. This shows that you're well researched and that you have seriously considered the program.
Also, get your interviewer's email at the end (say it's for follow-up questions) and email him/her a thank-you.

My daughter has her phone interview on Sept 18th for the Spring CP. We have gone through and put together a list of questions we have found on this and other threads. I know we missed some, but this should be a pretty good guide and give you an idea of what to expect. She has promised to list any questions she may get that are not on the list and I will update if needed. I hope it helps all you guys and gals land the dream internship. Good luck to you all.

I just did my interview! It was with Jenny and she was so great! The interview lasted 33 minutes, however I did stumble over some questions a bit, so I hope that didn't hurt too much. There was one question I received that I had not read/heard before, which was if I was comfortable working at certain heights.

I applied on Friday and was given the web-based interview which I took and passed on Saturday. I have my phone interview scheduled for next Wednesday the 18th at 1:00 pm and I'm a ball of nerves already. I'm 22 (23 in November) and this is my last semester in college (I graduate in December) so this is literally my last chance at doing the CP. I had wanted to do it ever since I started college, but for various reasons I was never able to make it work out. I thought it would never happen for me, then I accidentally succumbed to a bad case of "senioritis" and failed two classes (shame on me, I know) so I had to return to school this semester, allowing me to apply and participate for the Spring 2014 program. I know it sounds super cliche, but all of that paired with the fact that literally almost every person I have talked to in the past five months has had some connection with Disney (the speaker at my commencement in May was Meg Crawford, VP of Walt Disney Resorts Florida/Paris and also the sister-in-law of the President of my University who I am on a fist name basis with) lead me to think that there's something positive at work/in store for me. Like it might be meant to be that I would end up at Disney. I'm not trying to get my hopes up or anything, it just seemed weird. Haha. Well I think I've rambled on more than enough. Good luck to everyone who has applied and has their interviews! 
Not your "last chance" ~ you can take a night class at a community college an still be eligble.
If you selected: Custodial, QSFB, Merchanise, or Attractions with high interest and prep for your interview you'll do well

Don't forget to smile! I know you're nervous and anxious--I think we all are/were. What matters is that you're prepared and confident, and, most importantly, you love Disney--because that's why we're all here! Good luck!

I'm starting to get super nervous for my phone interview on Thursday. I have been researching tons of different possible questions that they could ask but I'm worried they're going to throw a curve ball and I'm not going to know how to answer it.
What is the strangest question that you were asked during the DCP phone interview???
