Alright ya'll ever since I was little I wanted to work at Disney. Now that I'm 21 I have been thinking about it a lot lately. At first I was thinking of a performer and then I was thinking how cool it would be to bartend in Disney. If someone has a number I can call or wanna give me tips that would be amazing. I do have bartending experience and performer experience.
 
Have you thought about the College Program? It might be easier to get your foot in the door that way then move around from there.

+1 If you're in college, do the College Program. I did it twice; I ended up moving on to a completely different career but I highly value those memories and having done the program is a bit of an "in" if I ever apply to work for any part of Disney. It's kind of a safe way to see if you really like working there (and a lot of people do stay or come back!).

If you're not in college...then yeah, follow the link Alesia posted. As I understand it Disney is more likely to hire you if you already live in the area, so keep that in mind. Another thing to keep in mind...well, I hate to say it, but the pay for an average WDW cast member simply is not very good. You'd be above minimum wage, but not by much. Maybe it's worth it to you and maybe it's not; sometimes I regret not making a career out of WDW, but the job I ended up with pays much better and I live at a higher level of comfort (and savings ability) than I would if I'd stuck it out as a cast member.

Still, if you want to do it, do it. You can always try it for a couple years and then go do something else. Me, I've just promised myself that when I'm ready to retire from my "real" career I'll head down to Florida and take a job there. I think I'd get bored being retired and not having work to do, and by then I should have enough saved that I can deal with the pay being low.
 

When I did my College Program (2005) there where people that were 40+ that took 1 class at Community College to get into the program.
