I've heard from recruiters at my school that the program is a bait-and-switch. If you're accepted, there's a good chance you'll end up working at one of their theme parks as a ride operator or vendor. So it's no good for a so-called "professional" internship. |

Yes, the college program may make you work in a "minimum wage" position such as operating the rides, working at a restaurant, or managing the cashier at a merchandise shop. However, you get a chance to take classes that may be worthwhile, and you might be able to do some networking, which may help you out later in your career. Many people may leave the college program somewhat disappointed and disillusioned, but others come out of it as having enjoyed their time with Disney. It depends on what you're expecting to get out of the program. The way Disney markets the program may make you expect a lot more than you'll actually get, but with realistic expectations about what kind of job you will actually be working, you could really enjoy the experience. The best advice would probably be to smile a lot and show an outgoing, enthusiastic personality. Basically a "Disney" personality. Show that you really love Disney and would be truly happy to work for them. <a href="http://www.disneylandreport.com">The Disneyland Report</a> |
