These meetings are held every semester at St. Petersburg College\u00a0campuses!\u00a0Don&#8217;t miss the next Disney Info Session on January 29 from 12:30 until 2 pm on Clearwater Campus in room LI 209.<\/p>\n<h3>Disney College Program: What you need to know<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The program gives students who are currently enrolled in an accredited institution, or who have recently graduated college, the chance to work for Mickey at Disney theme parks and resorts.\u00a0You live, work, play, and breathe Disney. For many of us, it\u2019s the opportunity of a lifetime.\u00a0Join me to get the inside scoop on the <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyprogramsblog.com\/about\/disney-college-program\/disney-college-program-application-requirements\/?utm_source=social\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Disney College Program.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Attending this meeting taught me a lot about the application process, what happens after acceptance, and what students can expect from this internship. This paid internship was ranked 10th on Forbes \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jeffkauflin\/2017\/10\/11\/the-20-most-prestigious-internships-for-2018\/#6ab3133b3ab8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Most Prestigious Internships for fall 2018.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/careers-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2019\/01\/Disney-slide-All-Sessions.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8550\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/careers-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2019\/01\/Disney-slide-All-Sessions.png\" alt=\"Disney College Program slide\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/careers-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2019\/01\/Disney-slide-All-Sessions.png 1280w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/careers-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2019\/01\/Disney-slide-All-Sessions-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/careers-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2019\/01\/Disney-slide-All-Sessions-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/careers-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2019\/01\/Disney-slide-All-Sessions-1024x576.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>PRO: Networking<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Get ready to meet talented people from all over the world. Networking at Disney is highly encouraged \u2014 take advantage of talking with your supervisors, co-workers, and guests about where you hope to be someday.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left\">PRO: Free admission and discounts<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">If it\u2019s free it\u2019s for me. This perk is so great it might just have you dancing. Besides unlimited entry for yourself, you are also rewarded a number of free passes for family and friends. Oh, and that includes entry to Disney water parks as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Can you think of a better day than getting <em>free<\/em> admission for you and your family to ALL of the Disney parks? I\u2019ll wait. Exactly! This is your chance to show your loved ones the ins and outs at Disney\u2019s different locations. You get to be their personal tour guide through the land of magic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I am the discount queen so that learn that I could possibly receive up to 40 percent off merchandise and food, well let\u2019s just say my bank account is already applauding.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left\">CON: Hours and pay<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">As they say, the good comes with the bad and Disney hours are just that. I want to prepare you for the workload before it blindsides you. From what I have heard cast members have complained about their hours. I read multiple complaints on how cast members either received too many hours or not enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Being outside in the Florida heat is not what I call a fun time, but hey at least you\u2019ll be swimming in something.\u00a0Also, spending holidays with my family is important to me. To learn that I must work on these special days is not a plus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">My \u201cI\u2019m boujee on a budget\u201d is oh so real, therefore 10 dollars an hour will be hard to fuel my shopping addiction. But many may argue it&#8217;s not about the money, it&#8217;s about the end game. The Disney College Program offers students a chance to learn about opportunities within the company.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t miss the next Disney Info Session on January 29 from 12:30 until 2 pm on Clearwater Campus in room LI 209.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1815,"featured_media":8478,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5,106,6],"tags":[4,10],"coauthors":[119],"class_list":["post-8328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-career-exploration","category-events","category-featured","category-internships","tag-career-services","tag-internships"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\r\n<title>Make Magic as an SPC Student with the Disney College Program -<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Don&#039;t miss the next Disney College Program Info Session on January 29 from 12:30 until 2 pm on Clearwater Campus in room LI 209.\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/careers-internships\/disney-college-program\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Make Magic as an SPC Student with the Disney College Program -\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Don&#039;t miss the next Disney College Program Info Session on January 29 from 12:30 until 2 pm on Clearwater Campus in room LI 209.\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/careers-internships\/disney-college-program\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Careers &amp;
