The Walt Disney Company

You’re given a lot of responsibilities whilst in the Disney College Program. Whatever position you hold, it is also your duty to present yourself professionally and carry out jobs in a matter that best represents the company. No matter where you work, attitude is always going to play a big role i...

Though it may not have seemed so at times, working in food service at Disney truly showed me just how much the company does to ensure the guests have a truly magical experience. We always did everything we could to bring a clean, fun and safe environment for guests, especially children.

I did the Disney College Program the semester after I graduated from my undergrad. I took it as an opportunity to be able to work and learn about the Disney Company. The way I saw it was, some students study abroad to learn about new cultures, I did an internship with Disney to learn about their ...

I actually stumbled upon the Disney College Program Internship by accident when I saw a flyer for it on my way to class. But the more I thought about it the more I realized the benefits such an internship could offer. The opportunity to work in a company with worldwide renown in innovation, crea...

Back in 2011 when I completed my college program, we were guaranteed 30 hours of work a week and two days off in a row. I started at Blizzard Beach and was getting scheduled 30-35 hours a week, but was often sent home early because it was close to the end of the water park season. Here I typica...

If I'm completely honest, there were two reasons for this. (1) I'm an avid Disney fan and working for the company was a dream. I was planning to gain experiences at Disney that I could grow into a Marketing or Management (as I have both degrees) career. (2) I had a series of personal life events ...

The 3 skills I developed most as a part of my role at Disney were retrieving/cleaning data, drawing insights from data, and presenting a story to communicate clearly my findings.

Pricing Analysts at Disney help look at trending data to help determine what to do with price based on overall business objectives. In my role I looked at promotions so based on the data I had to see what promotions made sense in the grand scheme of things.

Disney is a great place to start as it has a lot of people who may know more than you starting out and has ample resources to develop skills that you need for other employers not necessarily hard skills but soft skills.

There are so many things to love about working for Disney. The privilege of going into the park for free is only a small benefit of everything that is offered. The classes are amazing and truly educational. Many of the concepts, I’ve learned are ones I’d never heard of. The people are incredible....

Disney is looking for very specific personality types. Ones that are sure to be able to withstand the cruel, but magical reality that is Disney World. Though most of their questions are pretty standard, some are out of the blue depending on the role you wish to see yourself in. Be sure to study u...

To succeed in the Walt Disney Company you need to brush up on Disney itself, including: movies, parks (outside of the park you’re working in), new and upcoming products, events or films and of course the history of the company. Many guests will ask you about those details and other cast members w...

I decided to work at Walt Disney as a DCP intern because it was my dream to work there when I was younger. I’m glad I worked at Disney because it taught me the important of customer service, which is very important in any job you have in life.

The four keys are still things I use today as being important in any job. Safety, courtesy, show and efficiency are important in any job.

As my career has grown and evolved I have always kept my eyes open to opportunities that both interest me and make myself valuable in today's competitive landscape. An area that I have found this in is big data analysis using data mining skills such as SQL coding & analytical/visual data platform...

When interviewing for my position I specifically asked about this. Having a strong background in finance or accounting helps prove that you can thoroughly analyze complex problems. Being able to look at a data set, quickly analyze, answer questions, and provide recommendations on the fly is very ...

It may vary from team to team and different geographic locations, but overall I have seen a heavy focus on work-life balance. The company recognizes how important that is, and makes it a priority.

When I get to my work location I clock in and pick up an assignment. Every location has different areas you can get assigned to throughout your shift. I work in attractions so we rotate positions about every 45 minutes. This is to prevent cast members from being outside in the front for too long ...

I've worked at two different locations and the training took a week for each. When you first get hired you attend classes such as Traditions, which just introduces you to the culture of the company. It's a fun day, I won't tell you what else happens, its a surprise. During your week of training a...

Let your leaders and coordinators know of your interest in becoming full time. As long as you have showed them through hard work during your internship that you want to be there it should be easy to land a full-time job. They also have resources on the company website, The Hub, that only cast mem...
