how wonderful would it be to work at Disney !?

Does anyone have information on possible jobs in WDW?
anythign from how to get involved, and possible jobs in design/creativity.

does it make a difference if you are from the UK?
and what kind of age can you get involved?

Thanks if anyone can help

Welcome to the forums, disney fanatic! I think you'll find some great information if you follow this link:

http://corporate.disney.go.com/careers/index.html

There are quite a few current and former Cast Members roaming these boards (including me), so just holler if you have any questions. Most of us love to ramble on about our experiences.

What stage are you currently at in your career?

THNKS kgmadorin!!
yh there is some great info there

At this moment im just gettin ready for 6th form (I'm from the UK)- I'm not sure what the equivelent is in the USA - age 16/17.

but i was thinking at some point to get involved in Disney - im hoping to move to the USA too I'll have to do UNIversity here though

Yh always been a dream to be involved in designing - so I mean there is no better place than the world of disney realy is there 8)

Fanatic, we just covered this topic recently...

This is actually a different question from yours. Fanatic wants to plan to start working for Disney from the very beginning of his/her career, which has it's own answers.

My brother is in the process of doing that right now. He's interested in hotels and operations (rides), which is different from design, but his path might be of interest to you as well.

First, you can get your feet wet in Disney's College Program.

Here's a UK site I found: http://www.wdisneyw.co.uk/wdwcp.html
There aren't any design internships - you are basically just like any other hourly employee, but it's a fun way to spend a couple months (check out Lion's thread on his experience, and my brother had a blast), it shows Disney that you are committed to the company, and it helps you get to the next stage, which is...

Disney Professional/Advanced Internships
I can't find the link for them right now, but they are like a Super College Program. You are placed in manager type positions within the company and at the end, if you do a good job, you get a job in that capacity. Here's a link to the different type of internships that might be included (not sure though):
