I would really like to do a Disney Internship but I would also really like to do the College program. Unfortunately my school does not have the College program but they do offer the interships(the internship program is coming to talk to us on the 22nd). My problem is that the internships that they offer have nothing to do with my major(philosophy), but sort of have something to do with my career choice (lawyer). Do you think I can still get a decent internship if my major does not go with the program I want and I have not done the college program?
Regardless of whether or not their school participates in the On-Campus Presentations, US-Based Post-Secondary Students may apply for
Disney College Program Roles at the
Disneyland Resort or
Walt Disney World Resort by viewing an E-Presentation thru
http://www.disneycollegeprogram.com/.
Disney Professional Internship Positions generally do give preference to those who have previously completed a Disney College or International Program, or who are currently employed by The Walt Disney Company and Affiliated Companies. However, it is still possible to obtain one of these internships even if you haven't completed a program before.
In addition, please remember that the
Disney Professional Internship Program is a program of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and only covers certain positions at the
Disneyland Resort,
Walt Disney World Resort or
Walt Disney Imagineering.
Many work areas throughout The Walt Disney Company and Affiliated Companies (ex: The Walt Disney Studios, Disney Consumer Products, The Walt Disney Company Corporate, etc.) offer internship opportunities that are not considered part of the
Disney Professional Internship Program. These programs do not generally require that you have previously completed a Disney Student Program, and do not give it any other special weight other than thru consideration of your previous employment with the company.
