Georgia Southern’s Disney College program is recruiting students to work for a semester in either Disney World or Disneyland.

“It would be a great experience,” said Kat Reeves, campus representative for the program. “It’s a paid internship, and you’re not doing the odd jobs like going to get coffee that you get in other internships.”

The College Disney program is a working opportunity for students who enjoy Disney. Jobs that students will be doing include performing, working at the many attractions, culinary projects and customer service.

“I’m a performer at Disney World in Florida,” said Megan Donaldson, a current intern for the program. “I work at shows and parades as 16 different characters. I love performing, so this was a great opportunity for me. It’s so much fun that it doesn’t feel like I’m at work.”

The program is set for either fall or spring semester  and can be used as an internship for many majors; current interns are majors of graphic design, biology, marketing, business and management, communications, information technology, theater, sales and recreation.

“I enjoyed my time participating in the Disney program,” said Urkovia Andrews, an alumnus of the program. “I participated over the summer and returned to college in the fall. I think it’s a good experience for anyone who has the semester and the desire to work for Disney.”

The Disney College program comes with many benefits. All interns will receive theme park admission to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and the Animal Kingdom, as well as a main entrance pass that allows students to admit up to three friends or family members six times during their stay. Other benefits include discounts on select merchandise and food locations and on admissions to the water park.

“I enjoyed working in the theme park, even though I wasn’t a performer,” said Andrews. “I learned how to appropriately address tedious questions like, ‘What time does the 3 o’ clock parade start?’ My friend and I were in the program together; that helped ease the transition in regards to working in what can at times become a hectic place. Overall you learn a lot in regards to professionalism, despite your position.”

To qualify for the program, students must have at least one semester of college work and a 2.0 GPA.

Information sessions for the program will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 6 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. in Russell Union Room 2084.
