Pros

Unless you’re a completely shameless brown-noser who has at least two brain cells to rub together and a shred of scruples, you’ll eventually be put into the catapult and launched out of the Tragic Kingdom, freeing you from your waking Hell of a job.

Cons

Disney management has long been stacked with people who specialize in bootlicking but have no real aptitude in anything else. So anyone who 1) points out that their ideas are absolutely terrible and destined to lose millions (or billions) of dollars, or 2) shows any genuine aptitude in doing the job competently is put in the Lightning Lane for Mickey’s Unemployment Adventure. Who gets to climb Promotion Mountain? The folks who enthusiastically cheer all the cockamamie plans to polish whatever turds management puts forward without a word of criticism. Any dissent in the ranks meets ruthless reprisals from the an upper management that is as insecure as it is incompetent. There is no industry magazine article they won’t take as gospel, no trend or buzzword they won’t chase. And any acquired properties will be grossly mismanaged so that their fans will hate them because the top brass only cares about Mickey things: Disney buys expensive new toys just so it can break them. It’s all incredibly depressing, but remember: You must keep smiling – the only Disney employees who are allowed to be surly and rude are the ones who work in the parks.

Pros

They offer really great opportunities to connect with various departments to discuss what their role is like at the parks, their path into their role etc. If you put in the effort for networking and use your free time for the courses/sessions that Disney Programs provides then you can make really great and beneficial connections for a future career at Disney. This is a great way to experience a career at Disney with everything “handled” for you (housing, transportation, you’re close to food options, you have access to parks etc) for someone who wants to try it out without the commitment of changing their whole life to fully move to Florida.

Cons

Being an intern program you don’t have any control over your own schedule. I attended the program after graduation and am very glad I did this as in my opinion it would have been difficult to keep up with college course loads on top of your work schedule AND being able to take advantage of all the “extra” learning opportunities (which in my opinion make or break if this program is worth it for you). You’ll likely be working long shifts, non consecutive and non consistent days off, and most likely will be late nights not typical day shifts (2pm - 12am etc).
