WDW CP alumni looking for work at DL

[Rage]

I found this forum while Googling the College Program. Seem like just the place to ask this.

I was in the College Program at WDW in the fall of 2008. After wasting some time in college for a bit I've decided that my passion is working at the parks. I don't care where in the parks I work-- I just know that Disney parks have been something I care a lot about for most of my life, so that's where I want to head. I live in CA, so Disneyland is the obvious choice.

Does anyone have any experience with re-applying to work at Disney after doing the College Program? I know there's internships, but I don't know if anything they offer really interests me. What'd I'd prefer to do is start working at the park again then look at where I can go from there. Honestly, if I could support myself just working attractions I would just do that the rest of my life. I enjoyed it that much.

Also, does anyone have any experience applying for Disney while not living nearby? I live in Fresno, so I could really only move once I know I have a job. How would that application process work?

I'm not in TOO much of a hurry to do this-- need to buy myself a car first. But within the next year or so I want to be out on my own working at Disney. Any suggestions would be great.

Persons applying for general employment at the Disneyland Resort must make themselves available for a face-to-face interview at the Casting Centre in Anaheim, California. As a rule of thumb, the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Casting Services team prefers to hire applicants who live in the local area (Orange County and Southern California, in this case), and can start straight away.
