Disney International Programs

Ok, so if you are interested in applying like I've done for an international programs position at Disney, the official steps to apply can be found at disneyinternationalprograms.com, and help and advice can be found at wdwip.com. Also, http://www.disneyinternationalepresentation.com/summer/ is pretty much word for word the presentation given by the Disney recruiters before your interview. But below I'll outline my experiences so far, and hopefully that will help you out.

So the first step to applying for me was researching the heck out of it. I knew I wanted to be a character, but I wasn't sure this was possible through the international program (it isn't mentioned on the website at all) so I was working with another website as well, disneyauditions.com. After reading all about the living arrangements, work, etc. on both of these websites, I finally got the courage to apply. Being from Canada, my second step was to send my resume and cover letter via email to Cast-A-Way resort hiring. If you are from another nation, check the ICP website to find the agency within your country. The third step is a phone interview, and, provided you pass through this step, you will be invited to your fourth step, a face to face interview. After this, there is a brutal week or two or three spent waiting to hear whether or not you were hired. Hopefully, you will be, and I'll see you in Orlando!

** As of March 3rd, 2008 it seems that Cast-a-Way is no longer the point of contact for Canadians. Contact Yummy Jobs, the new recruiting Company, to apply, at enquiries@yummyjobs.com.
