Actually, I am seriously looking into it... they have a program for education that I would love to get into! Was the process very selective?

WOOOHOOOO!!!!!

If ya can, do a character dinner/breakfast. In Disneyland last July we did it and it was awesome.

Figure out your schedule and anticipate only getting to do half of it.

I'd sooooooooooooo stay on the Disney property if you can. We were only at Disneyland for 2 days and stayed at a good neighbor hotel that was actually a little closer than the actual property hotels, but if I could do it again, I'd stay on site for the full experience.

It realllly realllly reallllllly is the happiest place on earth!

I'm soooo excited for you!!! The keets will LLLLLOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE IT!!

I think it depends on what you're willing to do. If you go in there saying I will only be attractions at Magic Kingdom then it will be tough. if you go in with a positive attitude and outgoing personality saying you're be willing to do custodial, Merch, whatever then you should be fine.

I have stayed at the polynesian hotel at Disney, it was really cool. I dont know how much your willing to spend, but if it turns out to be a bit expensive, there are tons of hotels just outside of the parks that are within a few minutes driving distance as well.

There are last time i checked 17 hotels. They are either value ( All Stars, pop century), Moderate ( Port Orleans, Carribean Beach, etc.) and deluxe ( Grand Floridian, Yacht/Beach, etc.) There are also other classifications as in Home away from home ( villas) but those are the basics.

I think ti depends on what you're willing to do. If you go in there saying I will only be attractions at Magic Kingdom then it will eb tought. if you go in with a positive attitude and outgoing personality saying you're be willing to do custodial, Merch, whatever then you should be fine.

No offense, but I know a few of my friends who are Tourism and Travel majors, and they did the program and honestly hated it. They said they ended up working a ride and pushing a start and stop button, and wondering how that is going to help them gain experience in the Tourism field. The only good thing they said is they got their foot in the door and made contacts. So I guess thats good...

I heard jeepgirl found 7Lords a heckuva deal on a value hotel on Disney property when they went a year-ish ago.

Most people I know love it, but if you go down there expecting to make $$$ and aren't willing to start at the bottom then it will be tough. It's not for everybody.

The Polynesian, Grand Floridian and Contemporary are on the monorail which is easy access to Magic Kingdom and Epcot.

Margaritaville is a must... there is no admission charge during the day and if you have lunch there they validate your parking so it's all free to get in!
