Working at Disney World.

Post by AllForDisney »

Hi. This is my first post on the board and I just wanted to see if anyone could answer it.. If anyone has an answer, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm 17 years old, and I will be 18 in December.. (January 2-7 I will be in WDW with my girlfriend for my graduation/18th birthday present. =])..But anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any information at all about becoming a CM at WDW..

Anything would help. Thank you.

If you already live in the Disney Area, you can apply for a part-time job there, though perhaps the most common way for younger people to be a CM is via...

The Disney College Program.

There are quite a few former/current/seasonal castmembers here at UD and we can also answer any questions.

Speaking of, is there an age limit to the college program? I'll be in my 20s when I start college (manditory service in the army is a pain in the a$s) so I'm curious if I could still be a part of the program by the time I get out.

Nope, no age limit.

I've actually met people in their THIRTIES who are on the College Program.

Oh my God! Their THIRTIES?!!! Ha.

Hey, I'm 31, and I don't feel or look that different from a college kid. Well, I need to get back into shape, but...

Heck, at the University I went to (while in my 20s), more than half the students were in their 30s or older,... and more than that were married. Yeah, this is a lousy place for dating...

AllForDisney do you live in the WDW area? just wondering because if not they have offices in Tampa as well that can provide part time jobs :) Its probably not as exciting as working in the park, but you get all the perks.
