I'm pretty sure that you have to apply to be a part of their college program to do short stints at WDW - one of the members here did have their son go work there for a year as his year out. He worked at the UK pavilion in Epcot - does anyone remember how Simon applied ?

try emailing jason@yummyjobs.com and ask about summer jobs. yummy jobs is the agency that disney use for the UK programmes.

There is an International Programme where you work in the UK part of Epcot for a year.

If you are hoping to go out this year then it will probably be too late to apply

The process usually takes about 6 - 12 months.

Disneyland Paris are hiring now - my daughter is in the process of applying. She speaks very good French so can apply for most of the jobs - there's also vacancies for people who don't speak French. I know it's not quite the same as sunny Florida, but might be a possibility, especially if it's just for the summer.
If you like I'll find out the address. Can't ask Amy right now as she's gone to France for Easter!!!!!

My sister worked at Epcot in the UK pavillion in 2001/02 as part of the WDW International Program. She had a fantastic time.

I'm not sure there is an official web site but there is lots of info at the following unofficial web site:

If I remember my sister's experience of WDW recruiting you request an info pack and application form, fill it in, send it back and wait. Disney make a few trips each year to the UK to interview candidates who they are interested in. If you are successful at interview your start date in Florida could still be quite a few months after your interview. It's not the fastest of processes and I think a great deal of patience is required.
