Application Process

Okay its what everyone has been waiting for. How do you apply and what is expecting during the whole process?

I will cover the application and the web based interview in this blog and will cover the phone interview in another.

After you have decided that you want to apply to the Disney College Program, make sure this is going to be the right program for you. It is not going to be for everyone Do your research on the program. By joining the Facebook groups and the program you are going for. The Facebook groups will be the best source for information. You can ask question and stay up to date with current information. Also go to YouTube and watch all types of videos from the alumni that have done or are currently doing the program. Also reads blogs and join other sites to find out more information about the program.

One major thing to keep in mind is that this is an INTERNSHIP AND YOU ARE THERE TO WORK AND NOT PLAY.

Okay so you are ready to apply to the program. Once the applications open up people are going crazy to apply, so things will take time to get to each step of the process.

The application is pretty is in it self. Like any other job you will fill out the basic information. Next you will pick the roles you want by putting High interest, Moderate, Low Interest or No Interest. The roles are going to be pretty much the same for Disney World and Disney Land, but there are going to be a few differences.
Here is the list of the roles.

Once fill it out and submit, you may receive the email to go onto the Web Based interview. In the Web you will answer question on a scale from one to five. Here are the tips.

1. Use "Strong" Answers: The WBI is going to give you a series of questions one by one. They're typically about you and your personality, such as, "Are you generally a positive person?" They'll also throw in some questions like, "In my opinion, the customer is always right." The way you will answer these questions is on a scale of "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree." When you agree or disagree with one of the questions, USE THE STRONG OPTIONS. It has been common with people who haven't passed the WBI to tell me they rarely used the strong answers. Those who have used the strong answers generally have passed. There's a rumor going around that if you use too many strong answers, Disney will "catch you" and "assume you're just telling them what they want to hear." Don't worry about that. Answer what you think describes YOU. With this in mind, it's okay to answer a few questions with neutral or just agree/disagree. I probably did about three answers neutral and two with just the normal agree/disagree options. Just don't make it a habit of answering with these options, or else you may find yourself in trouble.
2. Don't Over Think: Some people are freaked out and nervous because the WBI is timed. They also might think too much about what they assume Disney wants them to put as their answers. Disney doesn't want you to put what you think they're looking for, they want you to answer truthfully about you. Also, don't be concerned about the timed aspect of the interview. They give you one question one by one with plenty of time to answer each individually. The only times I found myself worried about taking too long is when I would start over thinking about a question. Analyzing the questions too much is what could get you in trouble for the time limit.
3. Don't Stress: Lastly, I want you guys to keep in mind that everything happens for a reason. If for some reason you don't get the option to move on for a phone interview, it's not the end of the world, it's just not your time to do the program yet. As long as you're not done with college, you have an opportunity to apply again. I know plenty of people that applied more than once to get into the program. Just stay persistent and everything will work out in the end.

Best advice is don't freak out about it and just relax while tanking it. Also try and avoid using neutral in your answers and low numbers as well. Stay consistent with you answers.

I will cover the Phone interview in another post.
