Make friends with your leaders then ask them for references. If you are looking for a full time offer as an hourly, operational associate - do a good job in your role, and you have a pretty good chance of getting hired though it may be in a different location.
If you are looking to be in a salaried role or an hourly role outside of operations - your best bet is to land a professional internship.
Apply while on your program. Avoid getting points on your record card this is Disney's disciplinary system. If we re being frank, it is very difficult to land a full time role at Disney, but it is possible. I've seen a lot of success stories out there where a student's internship through the college program turned into a professional internship with Disney which turned, eventually, into a full-time offer. Interns can take classes for credit or learn more about the company and go to seminars to meet Disney professionals in the field you want to be in engineering, marketing, etc.
Networking during the program is probably the biggest tip I have should you want to return to the company in the future. This begins with a thoughtfully constructed curriculum, immersive educational experiences, hands-on training, and focused professional development. One feature that truly distinguishes a Disney education from a traditional campus experience is the compatibility between work and education.

The Walt Disney World International Exchange Program creates several access points to Disney education and Disney careers for students living outside of the United states. The Exchange Program is conducted through:. Disney College Programs are not technically accredited. Likewise, Disney University is not, itself, an accredited university. However, in order to enroll at Disney University, you must be enrolled in an accredited college or university, or have graduated from an accredited institution in the last 12 months.
Your Disney University education will usually occur either in tandem with your traditional college education or as a segment of your actual degree program. In fact, your college or university may have a partnership program with Disney College Programs or with Disney University allowing you to participate in a paid internship, or take Disney University training courses for college credits through your accredited college. You are strongly advised to consult an academic advisor before pursuing the Disney College Program to find out if your school has a partnership program with Disney, or if your degree program awards credits for your participation in a Disney internship.
Classes are held in close proximity to their respective theme parks, allowing for students to be placed into real paid internship roles on actual Disney properties.
