There isn't a particular set of skills Disney asks you to bring to the College Program. We are trained on set on how to be the ultimate cast member on the job. To be approved for the program the applicant does need to be in good academic standing. I know as a previous cast member patience is virt...

The Walt Disney Company markets the Disney College Program as an internship. I do not know if I would call it that (at least not in the traditional sense). You can be placed absolutely anywhere, but the magic kingdom, specifically typically has the longest operating hours, and college program par...

Everyone is just genuinely friendly. Like everyone smiles at each other when they see that name tag even if you've never worked with them before. The leaders and coordinators always say they want it to feel like a family. My coordinators and leaders have always been there when I needed help or ha...

I always knew I wanted to work at Disney. I figured that out on my first trip when I was five. On my high school graduation trip there, I spent four back and forth trips from the Wilderness Lodge to the Magic Kingdom talking to Josh (the boat driver who was on his College Program). That became my...

Walt Disney Company’s mission is simply to lead the world in entertainment and information. You will learn more about the world and about yourself in this internship that you ever have before. People come from all around the world just to be at the park. My advice is to learn from them and be wil...

The application process is two-fold. You complete a computer survey and then a phone interview if you qualify. My best recommendation is that you need to be honest about the positions you would be willing to take (ex. I was asked if I would do custodial and I said no). Also you need to be able t...

I don't think there is a mentorship program the Walt Disney Company offers continuously. However, within the College Program there are various different resources that are offered for members. These resources include resume workshops, college courses at Disney University (these courses also provi...

Disney has a minimum pay $8.00, at least when I started at disney and that was in the parks. I believe it was supposed to move up to $10 minimum wage but I started making above that once I transferred from tower of terror to concierge so I no longer know the current starting pay. However every ye...

You’re given a lot of responsibilities whilst in the Disney College Program. Whatever position you hold, it is also your duty to present yourself professionally and carry out jobs in a matter that best represents the company. No matter where you work, attitude is always going to play a big role i...

Though it may not have seemed so at times, working in food service at Disney truly showed me just how much the company does to ensure the guests have a truly magical experience. We always did everything we could to bring a clean, fun and safe environment for guests, especially children.

I actually stumbled upon the Disney College Program Internship by accident when I saw a flyer for it on my way to class. But the more I thought about it the more I realized the benefits such an internship could offer. The opportunity to work in a company with worldwide renown in innovation, crea...

Back in 2011 when I completed my college program, we were guaranteed 30 hours of work a week and two days off in a row. I started at Blizzard Beach and was getting scheduled 30-35 hours a week, but was often sent home early because it was close to the end of the water park season. Here I typica...

If I'm completely honest, there were two reasons for this. (1) I'm an avid Disney fan and working for the company was a dream. I was planning to gain experiences at Disney that I could grow into a Marketing or Management (as I have both degrees) career. (2) I had a series of personal life events ...

The 3 skills I developed most as a part of my role at Disney were retrieving/cleaning data, drawing insights from data, and presenting a story to communicate clearly my findings.

Pricing Analysts at Disney help look at trending data to help determine what to do with price based on overall business objectives. In my role I looked at promotions so based on the data I had to see what promotions made sense in the grand scheme of things.

Disney is a great place to start as it has a lot of people who may know more than you starting out and has ample resources to develop skills that you need for other employers not necessarily hard skills but soft skills.

There are so many things to love about working for Disney. The privilege of going into the park for free is only a small benefit of everything that is offered. The classes are amazing and truly educational. Many of the concepts, I’ve learned are ones I’d never heard of. The people are incredible....

Disney is looking for very specific personality types. Ones that are sure to be able to withstand the cruel, but magical reality that is Disney World. Though most of their questions are pretty standard, some are out of the blue depending on the role you wish to see yourself in. Be sure to study u...

To succeed in the Walt Disney Company you need to brush up on Disney itself, including: movies, parks (outside of the park you’re working in), new and upcoming products, events or films and of course the history of the company. Many guests will ask you about those details and other cast members w...

I decided to work at Walt Disney as a DCP intern because it was my dream to work there when I was younger. I’m glad I worked at Disney because it taught me the important of customer service, which is very important in any job you have in life.
