There are countless reasons to do the Disney College Program. Below you'll find my top ten reasons that encouraged me to apply and now has me on my way to the Magic Kingdom.
1. Definite Financial Income
The program is a paid internship... that's two birds and one stone! You are guarenteed 30-45 hours per week but you can work up to 70 if you chose. The pay is a little above minimum wage depending on the role you get and if you refrain from buying every pin ever made - you can put a good amount of money away in savings.
2. Don't know what to do after college? No problem!
Finding a full time job or going straight into grad school can be difficult for many recent graduates. The Disney College Program allows you to attend not only during your college career, but the semester after if you want. At least you know for 5 months you have a job and a place to live and you can put off finding a big-person job!
3. It's like studying abroad...but with American food
Studying abroad is a must in college. Not only does it give you a once-in-a-lifetime experience but it also is great on a resume. But if you aren't the type to pick up and move to a foreign county for months at a time, the program is perfect for you. You get the study abroad experience but without leaving the country.
4. Can you say free admission?
All that needs to be said is you can go in the parks whenever you want...for FREE!!!
5. Meet people from all over the world
The Disney College Program hires international students as well, giving you the chance to live and work with people from all over the world! Also, the Disney Parks attract people from everywhere so you will experience different cultures and languages often.
6. Learning from the "Kings of Customer Service"
Disney is well known for their customer service reputation. Most likely, your career will have some sort of customer service responsibility. It is a valuable skill and it's best to learn it from the masters.
7. Get a taste of freedom
For those that haven't left home yet, this is the perfect opportunity to! You are treated as an adult during the program and it is 100% your responsibility to get to work and provide for yourself. And when you work hard, you get to play hard too!
8. You'll have Disney on a resume
Whether you are thinking of going to grad school or you will be seeking employment after graduation, a company like Disney is great to have as an eye-catcher on a resume.
9. You are so close to beaches
Whether you do the California or Florida program, you are on one of the most beautiful coasts in America. What better way to spend your day off then at the beach?!
10. Hello? It's Disney!
Plain and simple. If you are a Disney fan- the program is for you! You get to work, live and play in the parks for at least 4 months. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to relive your childhood!!
