The Disney College Program is Accepting 2024 Applications!

College students, it’s that time of the year! The Disney College Program is accepting applications for the 2024 internships!

We saw the news pop up on Click Orlando and the Disney Careers website. The internship allows students to spend 4-8 months working for The Walt Disney Company while making $16 per hour. That’s not too bad.

Regardless of how much you like or dislike Disney, the opportunity does open up several avenues for future careers. As someone who has been a contractor for the company, I know it can be pretty lucrative.

While college students explore internship opportunities like the Disney College Program, it’s equally important to focus on the foundation of education—early learning.

For young children just beginning their academic journey, engaging and interactive resources can make a huge difference in building essential skills. Free printable worksheets provide an easy and effective way to introduce concepts like numbers, letters, and problem-solving in a structured yet fun manner.

These worksheets help kids develop critical thinking abilities while keeping them entertained with creative exercises.

Parents and teachers can use worksheets to reinforce lessons in a stress-free environment, ensuring children grasp fundamental concepts at their own pace. Whether it’s tracing letters, solving simple math problems, or working on early reading skills, worksheets offer a hands-on approach to learning.

2024 students can be housed at Flamingo Crossings Village near Walt Disney World. However, it does not look like The Mouse is comping the bill for the accomodations.

Even so, there are several perks that could even out paying for rent and working directly in WDW:

• Get paid on a weekly basis
• Receive complimentary theme park admission
• Have access to cast-exclusive discounts
• Access free transportation to work locations and nearby shopping or dining
• Live in an innovative apartment community

To be eligible for the Disney College Program, students must meet the following requirements:

• At least 18 years of age at time of application.
• Currently enrolled and taking classes at an accredited U.S.* college, university or higher education program OR have graduated from an accredited U.S.* college, university or higher education program within 24 months of the application posting date.
• Must have completed as least one semester at an accredited U.S.* college, university, or higher education program by the time of program arrival.
• Possess unrestricted U.S. work authorization for the duration of the program. Disney does not sponsor visas for the College Program.
• Meet any individual school requirements (GPA, grade level, etc.), if applicable.
• Former Disney College Program participants must wait four months after their last departure before applying.
