It was the Disney College Program! I did two internships, and I was a representative for the program. SO I CAN ANSWER LIKE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS.

You can work at either WDW in Florida or DL in California, but trust me, you want to do WDW. So much better. And you can work anywhere on property- rides, stores, restaurants, resorts, performing, anything. It’s a paid internship; it’s minimum wage, but still. Paid!

They have apartment complexes specifically for CPs (you can have one to seven roommates) and a bus system that takes you everywhere on property as well as Walmart, the mall, etc.

You can also take classes that, for some schools, will transfer as credit. And some schools give you internship credit too.

The program is really, really fun, and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to take a semester off but do something that will look super awesome on a resume.

I worked my first CP in the spring of 2006 as a Tour Guide on the Great Movie Ride, and my second in the summer of 2009 at Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage, High School Musical 3: School’s Out! Pep Rally, Fantasmic! and the Pixar Block Party Bash parade. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is totally my jam.

And as a CP CM you get all sorts of perks and discounts. Suddenly everyone will want to be your best friend…

And also, when you work parade and have to pull up the tape afterwards, you can make really cool Mickey-shaped tape balls. So that’s a perk.

In the span of four years, I worked two college programs and was a campus representative for the Disney CP, and I LOVED it!

I was Attractions at Disney-MGM/Disney’s Hollywood Studios both times. In the spring of 2006, I was a tour guide on the Great Movie Ride, and in the summer of 2009, I worked at Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage, Fantasmic!, Pixar’s Block Party Bash, and High School Musical 3: School’s Out! Pep Rally.

I highly recommend doing in the program. It’s very intense, but so much fun. AND YOU CAN GO TO THE PARKS WHENEVER YOU’RE NOT WORKING WHICH IS TOTALLY AWESOME. My younger sister also just finished her first program; she was in Epcot Attractions as one of the Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure cast members and she loved it. You can work anywhere in the parks or resorts, and it’s pretty amazing.

DO IT. DO IIIT. Or at least apply. If you get accepted and decide against or can’t do it, you can decline and they won’t hold it against you if you ever apply again.

So this is the short version of my answer!! I’d be happy to post up more stuff about the Disney College Program if you or anyone else has more questions! Because seriously…it’s amazing.
