Summer Alumni Program, 2019 and 2020

[Reepicheep]

As I understand it, Disney modified their "hiring rules" this year for summer employees so that any American citizen who took part in a past summer in the college program was eligible to apply for a job, even if they were no longer attending university. So, presumably, an American who took part in the Disney College Program (say) ten years ago, and hasn't attended university for the past ten years, was eligible for a summer job at either Disneyland or Disney World. Is my understanding correct, and does anyone know if Disney will do a similar thing during the summer of 2020?

My daughter (a Canadian) was fortunate enough to be offered employment for both the summers of 2018 and 2019. From what I can determine, around 250 Canadian university students were hired at Disney World in 2018. In 2019, 150 or so Canadian university students were hired at Disney World, and 10 at Disneyland, for a total of 160.

I'm starting to worry about the impact this new alumni program will have on International hires in future years. Assuming my estimates are accurate, the drop from 250 Canadian hires in 2018 to 160 or so in 2019 is certainly significant, and I wonder if the drop will be even more significant next year. Or, in a worst case scenario, if Disney would drop the international program totally. I'm sure there is no shortage of American students who would love to work for Disney for a summer.
