Hi,

I have cerebral palsy. I have a motorized & manual chair. I am also a college student & love Disney!!! I was wondering if anyone knew about the college program & if they accomendate people with disabilities? I have check out their website & could see no mention of it @ all. Thanks for the help!

I don't know about the CP, but I know that Disney has all sorts of CMs. I've seen CMs in chairs, with arm crutches, etc. I would hope that the CP program would be equally accessible!
 
Hi,

Thanks! Do you know how I can ask questions about the program?

I was in the CP from Jan-June, 2003, and I knew people with disabilities who were in the program. As far as I know, Disney was able to accomodate them. If you have specific questions, you can call or send an e-mail to:


1-800-722-2930 (Monday through Friday 8am - 8pm EST).
You may also write the College Recruiting offices: wdw.college.recruiting@disney.com

Hope this helps :)

P.S. I also have CP, and I never had any accomodation problems

Allison,

Like any other experience, the CP had its good points and its bad points. How well you do or don't like the program depends mainly on your attitude, although your work location is a big factor too. I wasn't all that fond of my work location, but I really did enjoy other aspects of the program.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me and I'll try to answer them for you :)
