Off to Disneyland

Well the wait is over and now for Fall 2017 I will be doing the college program in Disneyland. I loved doing Walt Disney World, so I am excited for this round in a totally new place.

I got accepted on March 8, 2017 for custodial. This is the same role I had in Disney World, but will be a different experience.


I will be blogging for my whole experience while at Disneyland and updated information as I go through the program in my earlier blogs. For you wondering about Walt Disney World's program, I still have a few left to post for that program

Disney College program: Extending Your Program

Weather you're on the program or just got accepted, you are probably thinking about extending your program. This is for Walt Disney World only as Disneyland you can't extend your program, but you may apply for another program. Also you do have the option to convert to Part time or Seasonal status and in some cases full time. Work force management meets will every participant about a month before departure. If you are in Walt Disney World you can't extended to Disneyland as they are two separate programs, but you can apply to Disneyland while you are in Florida.


Application for the extending are pretty basic, its just going to ask for your basic information and the roles you would like to be in. The roles will be limited as not all of them will be available, if like the role you are in you can request to stay in the same role new location or be placed in a new location.

I do not have a dates for when extension applications come out, but here is a general run down

  • Spring program Extended's to Spring Advantage in March.
  • Spring Advantage Extended's to Fall in June
  • Fall Advantage/Fall Extended's to Spring in October
In Florida you will have to put in a request to go Part/Full time or Seasonal, however this program it is much harder to go Part/Full time or Seasonal. You will apply at casting about 6 weeks before the end of your program.


Hope this helps!!!
