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.
