College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

[kandeebunny]

Thank you!!! Am I correct in assuming that only people who work at MK have the MK tour and that each location has its own tour of sorts?

Yes. Each park has its own tour. I did the Epcot one last summer.

And the tours are for the people working in that park (so you can get to know the park a little better).

Congrats!!



You find out your area on Day 2, and you find out your exact location in training. For example: I am doing QSFB too. I found out I was working Main Street North on Day 2, but I didn't find out that I was working at Casey's til training.

Ok, thanks. Do you like were you work?

How old are you allowed to be to join this? is it like a university like over here in England?

Could you rephrase your question? I'm not quite sure what you're asking.

You have to be at least 18 to do the college program, there is no max age. If you are from England then you would do the international program.

as mentioned by the previous poster, you need to be 18 to do the program.. this is not a school per se.. this is an internship, that allows you to get some work/hands on experience regardless of your major.. there are some courses (optional) available to take for credit or for personal gain, you can see what classes are offered on the wdwcollegeprogram.com website..seeing you are from England, you would be in the international program.

Yes. It's going pretty well over at Casey's.

Yes. It's going pretty well over at Casey's.

What do they serve there?

What do they serve there?

Hot dogs, fries, corndog nuggets, brownies, cracker jacks, and drinks.

Ok, maybe I will go there to try the hot dogs, I love hot dogs.

Ahh, Joanna - you were there the same time my DBF and I were there! We could have had a run in, haha. We left on the 24th of May.

Probably not. I was not able to get into the parks til the 24th.

Do you get loans and dorms if you are international? IAM 21 and currently at university, i might be interested in this. does this lead to a future job at disney?

loans? I am not sure what you mean... dorms?? they have an entire apartment complex for international students, though you may be placed with the US students if space not available at the international complex... this may or may not lead to a future position.. always helpful to have disney on your resume..some students end up going full time after the program, if they are done with school and so forth.. or you could apply for a professional internship (which includes management training) which are major specific, meaning what you study in school...

 

[Berlioz70]

Do you get loans and dorms if you are international?

There are no loans (unless you arrange them privately). Since the program is an internship/job, they will take money out of your paycheck to pay for your housing.
