"Thank you for your recent communication.

You'll be able to see our recruiting schedule for Spring 2009 this
summer. Please visit www.disneycollegeprogram.com!

Thank you!
Disney College Recruiting"

so you/we'll just have to wait a couple more months!

That's awesome. I'm so excited. Where do I go in their website exactly after they post spring 09? Will I see it on the front page?

Disney will start recruiting for the Spring 2009 program in late Sept/early Oct. It will show on the website.

If you click the Application tab, there is a section at the bottom of the page that says "We are currently recruiting for the following program sessions:" and lists them.....so just wait until that changes

Hey, I'm also really excited to apply!

Sorry to x-post this all over the place, but I thought you guys might be helpful.

Has anyone else had trouble convincing their administration/dean/whathaveyou to accept the Disney College Program as a valid internship worthy of some sort of credit (whether through your own school or a coordinating program)? I go to Smith College and they're making me jump through tons of flaming hoops to get approval (good thing I started on this way ahead of time--I'm hopefully going to be applying for the Spring '09 session). Any hints or suggestions on how to go about this?

And what sort of approval does Disney actually need from our school? Can we be technically enrolled but on a leave of absence to be in the program?

no idea about the college thing, but I do know that what Disney needs from the school is to know that you are a current student in good academic standing, so if you are on a leave of absence (as long as it's not like a disciplinary leave probably) it should be fine

Thanks, Sylvester; I figured it would probably be okay.

I can't wait for it to be summer so I can apply!
