I participated in the Aus/NZ International Program in 2017 and thought the exact same! I knew that a lot of my wages were going back to Disney and they were completely milking us for as much money as possible... BUT I still had an amazing time, met so many friends from all over the world and had the chance to work at WDW. Without that program I don't think I ever would have done that.
I did the DCP, and let me tell you. Even though it's a scam, it's absolutely worth it.
How can it be both at once, how that work?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
In what way? Please elaborate, I'm genuinely curious.
@@theshillneckedlizard8364 you make the best memories with the best people you’ll ever meet
I 100 percent agree the pay and work sucks but I met my wife their I would not trade my time their for anything in this world
@@calebclanton9540 haha! I met my girlfriend there too!
My sister works in fashion design and has stated that she was surprised to find out that companies found that Disney's college program was the most impressive part of her resume even more so than studying abroad in London. She has worked for Ralph Loren and Kate Spade.
I did the IDCP in 2013 as operations cast in Fanland. I’m from Sydney and I 100% think it is worth it. I earned $7.67 an hour, paid $80 a week at Vista, and worked 50-60 hour weeks. I definitely gave all my earnings back to Disney through shopping, eating and staying at the resorts. But I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I made friends and memories for life.
I was an ICP in Fanland in 2013 as well! Castle Courtyard ops! Long hours, low pay but it was worth every minute of it!
I was part of the 2020 group that was sent home, and I'd do anything to go back tbh
Same here!
I was offered a place in the 2020 group but had to turn it down to family commitments - I felt like I dodged a bullet 😬
Hey Hannah so sorry to hear that! I can't imagine how heartbreaking it would have been! - Luke
ReviewTyme so much crying happened that day man, and being from Aus as well having to get out of the US with a few days’ notice wasn’t fun. But hey, on the bright side, I’m a part of Disney history now
Me too!
Former CP for the Great Movie Ride in the Spring of 98 here. Didn't make dollar one, broke even but it was the experience that I loved. I worked at a GREAT attraction, had great memories, made life long friends. I've had people come to me in later years and ask me about the CP and that's what I told them. You go for the experience and memories but you're not going to make money.
I recommend it certainly for Americans but cannot speak for international students.
You also have access to a company that has its reaches in every job field. The ability to intern for the summer in that sort of environment is priceless. Yes, Disney is taking advantage of you, but they are giving you access to countless opportunities that could shape the rest of your life. When I worked at Six Flags they had a similar program, but not anywhere close to as glamorous. I feel this would have been a better avenue for me to take then the summer jobs I often took which hardly helped me after graduating from college. Lastly, I did the math. Renting a room, which you share, for that amount is really cheep. I am sure if you looked for comparable housing it would be 2 or 3 times that amount.
How can you say this all so gleefully? You're basically detailing all the ways you got financially screwed.
As a former CM, the best way I can describe it is a quasi stockholm syndrome. Us CMs would always joke about drinking the Disney Kool-Aid, but there was a little bit of truth behind the joke. Disney gets into your head when you are so, so young.
Ultimately before you agree to do the program you do a lot of research and going into it I pretty much knew all of this and weighed up the positives and negatives. I didn't do it to make money but to make friends and memories and in weighing things up it was worth it. Of course that's definitely not going to be the case for everyone! - Luke
I wasn’t a CP, but I did work at Disneyland while going to college. As a fan of Disney parks, it was exciting to work there and I would never give up the memories and experience. The pay was not great, of course; there are enough people lining up to press buttons on rides or run a cash register or even sweep the floor, that the market is in Disney’s favor. The word “greed” might come to mind when you’re charging guests more for ice cream bars in one minute than you’ll make in two hours of work. But at the same time, I got so much value out of the job. I went from a shy introvert to someone who felt comfortable addressing large crowds of hundreds before parades and in attractions, even telling jokes on the Jungle Cruise. I learned how to diffuse difficult situations when things went wrong, which helped me in future jobs. It looked great on my resume, and opened doors to jobs at the Disney studio, followed by better offers at its competitors. I even applied what I learned about Disney operations to my own small business. The story isn’t the same for everyone. You have to have the mindset that this won’t be your career or pay your rent in the long term, and milk it for all of the fun, learning, etc. that you can. But there is some privilege in being able to think this way- if you need a living wage, life as a CM can be hard, and its best to look elsewhere.. Then, there were people I met who stayed at Disney for too long, lured by the great discounts, status, and seniority, or who couldn’t get over the corporate greed. But if you look long term, it’s an experience well worth taking as a CP, or for a few seasons if you’re local.
@@DC-wk7yo omg well said! As a Former CM, Character Performer, and Team Member at Universal as well, it's likened to Brainwashing but you gleefully accept it and love your time there and the experiences and meeting the people who become like family
I think you missed the main way Disney wins. The quality of employees Disney can get through the DCP is much higher than they would get just hiring staff. They get young, bright, college students from around the US and the world who would never otherwise be looking for work in central Florida.
I agree! I never thought about living in Florida until my cp
I sat in one of these Disney introductions while I was in college and silently thought "what a scam!"
I might have been in a more privileged position as an International Epcot CM (those are considered full time staff, with all the benefits that come with that status), but for me it was anything but a scam. I love WDW and trough my work in Epcot I was able to spend an entire year playing at the parks, for free. Yes we got paid scraps, but if you just wanna take a year off and enjoy it, it's a great opportunity. Granted, I was lucky with my hours. I was able to take tons of days off, which isn't always possible. For me it was a year long vacation, with some work in-between. Thankfully I liked the work too, tho. Nowdays I have a cozy office job and an annual pass to Disneyland Paris, so I can go every few weekends. But it's simply not the same.
@@PHLFANJAN I probably should have specified that it felt like a scam for me. For others, it might be different. Similar to just about everything in life, tastes and circumstances are different from person to person.
Either way, I grew up with Disney, still like them, and own Disney stock. If I could, I would love to visit Disney Sea, Disneyland CA, or Disneyworld.
WOW... seems like you were saving this story. My wife was part of the culture rep. program for the Japan pavilion (mitsukoshi), we both really enjoyed this episode (it brought her back).. Thanks for sharing, loved it
That picture of the transtar bus on fire made me burst out laughing btw. That happened multiple times during my short 4 month program, but luckily I had a car and didn't have to rely on those terrible buses.
I loved when looking for that picture, so many other pictures of Transtar buses on fire came up! - Luke
Is it really a Disney college program experience if there wasn’t at least 1 bus on fire?
I think at least two caught on fire or malfunctioned in some way while I was there! I was luckily also in the car-owner camp! Only took the bus once or twice before quickly deciding that it wasn't worth it haha
Wage workers cost too much? Send in college interns.
Cedar Point uses the same model. Actually a majority of their workers are international. They ended up so short staffed this season that they finally had to raise wages. 😄
@@goblinlibrary280 So does Dollywood, however they’re paying students the SAME and offering them the SAME benefits as they do with EVERY employee! Disney knows there’s plenty of fools who’ll drop everything and run to them to scrub toilets if they put out a call.
During the 2020 DCP they increased the pay to around $13 and talked about increasing to $15 but COVID happened:/
That's great that they started to up it finally! That's extremely overdue!
omg if it was 15 id do it in a heartbeat
It’s going to be $16 in June 2023 now
“Eat, drink, and SLEEP around the world” 😂😂
😂😂😂😂⚰️
I've heard of this program a few times over the past, but never knew the details. This is a very useful video showing how the program benefits the Walt Disney company through profit. Cheers for laying out this info!
i was one of the ill-fated COVID graduates from the ICP 2020 class
i got 2 months out of the program. started in january, got kicked out and sent back to australia in march
even though i was there for such a short time, i’ve absolutely made some lifelong friends from it. i wouldn’t trade those 2 months for the world man. i knew i was getting the short end of the stick, but it was what it was. i’d give anything to go back
chatham square forever. hollywood studios ODV for life ❤️
Lol, as a DCP man myself from 2014-2015, it def was one of the best times of my life but I agree wholeheartedly with everything in this video. Loved it as always gents! Funny enough, I get to see all the old housing everyday as I pass by them.
I went to my program in 2017 knowing I was probably gonna end it in a financial loss. I wanted to enjoy my programs so I made sure to make use of all the cm discounts. I made 10 an hour and my take home was roughly 300 a week, 109 for rent, and 100 every two weeks for groceries. Flamingo crossing residents will never know the struggle of speed grocery shopping to catch a bus home.
The bus stops running at 8:30… we know the feeling 😭
Shout out to Vista Way, the biggest and baddest parties ever 🤣 as well as what one would call, ahem, free love.
Rent being 50% of a college-age worker's wages is astronomical? That's just... how America is all over, not just Disney
So how kind of the "Happiest Place on Earth" to introduce them to a life of magical unfairness, right?
I did the DCP in 2004. I lived at Chatham Squire. I was essentially bankrupt by the end of the program making $7 and hour and $95 a week taken out for rent at the time. I was lucky enough to have my own car so i was very popular. In the end it was fun. Visiting Vista way was an experience.
I’m a former CP, Spring 2005, MK outdoor food and beverage. I see some people saying that this is a scam, takes advantage of people etc. but guess what, it was one of the best experiences of my life! I look back on this time with more fondness than the rest of my time in college. I met amazing people, got to experience unique behind the scenes stuff and how often do you get to go to work every day and see a castle? This was the perfect experience for a college student.
Being a college educated janitor for Disney is a great life decision!
@@werewolflover8636 I mean the program is only a semester long so it doesn’t hurt to take time and experience something new and unique while you can
I was once offered a spot in the DCP as Quick Service Food and Drink. Not the job I was hoping for. I’d asked fellow former interns and a few college professors for advice. Every single one of them told me, “No, the whole thing is a scam.” I respectfully declined DCP offer for the intern spot. Besides, I was roughly one semester from graduating college. I’ve decided to finish school instead. If I had the opportunity sooner, like around the first or second year of college. I would have taken the DCP intern. Sounds like a fun time.
My campus housing at college was run by ACC, and they're experts in making something look far far nicer than it actually is.
Those stone countertops? That's probably something covered in laminate. The appliances? Cheapest models they can get.
It's not BAD per se, it was nicer than the stuff directly run by the university, but the price hike for it was ridiculous.
I should be able to tell you eventually when I get there
Did the program winter 2019 to last year in 2020. Seeing Vista Way and Chatham square bring back great memories! I was attractions at Disney's Hollywood Studios for my first program, and Disney Skyliner Transportation for the second half of my program. I really miss making magic, training little padawans to be Jedi, and welcoming guests off their cabins when they arrived at whatever station I was working at. Yes, the experience was lifechanging to say the least. Looking at Flamingo Crossings, I'm happy that new cast members will get a more modern living arrangements with shopping closer. I do think though that Disney will have no choice but to bring those wages up now, which should not be too huge of a problem for the flagship resorts of Disneyland and Walt Disney World. From one former cast member to another: Thanks for making magic!
The aussies reaction on the 14th was madness you try booking an affordable flight in 3 days.
Amy Marks rip my $5000
I did dcp 2000-2001.... it was know as the dcp even then. And it's so true about giving them your paycheck. We gave even more back then due to pleasure island and the 2 free castmembers days. That place was always bumping on those days and the crossroads denny's was always full afterwards. That was three time that the millennium village was a thing and security was so strict. So many parties and so many stories
I did the DCP, I'm from Brazil, and for brazilians this was the cheapest way to go to the US at the time. We had to pay flight tickets and visa only. I lived in vista way as well.
I did the DCP a few years ago...I lost about $8K, two cars, and nearly my college graduation over the course of six months, and the glorified hotel cafeteria,' fast food job Disney so graciously bestowed upon me kept me too busy to visit the parks regularly. Biggest regret of my post-grad life, thus far.
You mean it wasn’t the greatest time of your life like so many other fools are saying here? Someone who’s actually responsible and sees this for it is, slavery and a way to get fools to do jobs many don’t want to do?
We just dropped off our daughter for the Fall semester. It's back!
Was Spring 86 at Snow White Village working custodial at the Magic Kingdom. It was a great experience. Made lifelong friends. When interviewing and they see Disney on the resume, it was always a spark for a conversation. For our program, classes were mandatory. Spent a lot of time at the learning center at Epcot watching tons of videos about how Epcot was designed and ideas behind each of the pavilions. We had a Memory Book which was a year book for the program of which I was one of the editors. Are they still doing those?
also people in the DCP love it and love Disney, this program makes them great advocates for the brand and to return with their families later in life... Disney knows and calculates everything.
And I assure you Disney LOVES that slave labor too! A fool is born every minute!
The flamingo crossing area looks expensive. It seem like when the DCP return it was be for students that come from a background of money. Therefore the rent per person per week won’t matter to them. Since they will have parents that can send them money for any extra expenses. I lived in Vista way in 2007 at $85 per week came out my check. I was not able to ask my family for money. Things have certainly changed.
Yea, I’ve paid 650 a month for a studio gas and electric separate and my studio apt looked nothing like flamingo and offered none of the amenities. It’s definitely luxury for a decent price. But I’m working Disney and my other job and dcp can be a good experience but definitely not a good financial choice.
I did DCP Fall '96 and loved every minute of it
3:07 I worked with Jake at Main Street Ops the fall of 2013!
I recently went to WDW. I noticed that the people most benefiting from the suspension of the DCP are the locals. There is a lot of locals now working at the parks. I went to Epcot and it was strange to see little to no cultural reps. 😳
o damn
Oh darn not something good for us floridians.🙄
@@quantumquestions5849 Orlando isn’t the only ghetto place in Florida. No idea what your snarky remark was for.
OMG I did the program back in 2004 .... the hourly pay for the program at that time was 6.00 per hour and the rent cost of the apartment was 67 a week.... after taxes and rent, I took home about 140.00 weekly....I have NO idea how I did it. I would often see other kids would get money from their parents, lol I guess that's the only way to "make it" on these wages....I ended up saving enough for an off property apartment and ended up staying in the Orlando area 9 years (only worked for the mouse for 2 years) ... It really was an awesome time in my life. I loved the program so much, although yeah, if you apply to work at disney as a non-CP you will make more.
I feel old as hell...I did DCP in 99, was there the first time the parks closed for a hurricane....I think we made $5.25/hr, rent taken out of pyre checks...and if memory serves correctly, they were also getting subsidy for us being there...
I did the DCP in 2014 and 2015 and honestly no regrets!! The simple days!
Vista Lay...um... Way-Veteran here. DCP was a great experience for me. I'd never been a huge Disney fan before, but it sure taught me a lot, giving me a whole new respect and wonderment of the whole thing.
I should have done the DCP in college, but I ended up in Vegas instead, which wasn’t a bad alternative, because I met my life partner of 18 years in Sin City. Nowadays, we’d get our Disney’s fix by going to WDW or cruising around the Bahama and Caribbean.
Flamingo Crossing is now an apartment facility for regular Cast Members. It would appear that COVID but such a wrench in the works for us CMs that now Flamingo Crossing is having to be used as something else as far as housing for others instead of college program CMs.
7 time college programmer here! And no I'm not brainwashed, I truly loved it and made some of my closest friends from the program
I hope the DCP resumes. My daughter applied to and was accepted to DCP to start August 2020. She was accepted on her 1st try within a week of the application period closing in Jan 2020. We are so, so very proud of her!! Needless to say, her DCP was cancelled. She's gone back to college for another degree just to stay eligible for DCP should it resume in the near future!!
DCP may be a money grab for Disney, BUT it also allows kids to experience a job that they may really love, to make work seem like play, to have kids' happiness at doing what they're doing be shared by Disney's guests making them happy and spendy, which really is Disney's goal. And just maybe, lead to a life long career that excites and challenges them!! Isn't what we want for our kids? The best and happiest lives they can have?
I hope she gets in the one thing that all of this it’s not repeating enough is the experience of a lifetime not the money
She didn’t have to go back for another degree to stay eligible. You’re eligible up to 24 months post graduation. I hope she was able to return to the DCP this fall.
Met some of my best friends through 2 programs at Disney. The housing situation was ridiculous and overpriced...but man, what a great experience.
Born and raised in California When I grew up I worked over 10 years at Six Flags Magic Mountain and six years at Knotts berry farm, Seven years at the LA Zoo so I have plenty amusement park experience and I went to get a job at Disney and was very well told unless you were a college student you are not getting in or the other option was to be a senior over 65 that they only hire. Also DIsney is Union. I also ultimately Decided not to work for Disney because I love the park so much I didn’t want to know about the garbage in the background
Glad someone made a video about this, been thinking about this forever. Was a CP in 2018 that turned into a full time cast member been there since, I absolutely loved the DCP but man it’s shocking how much Disney profits from it. Don’t forget about how CPs bring friends and family to the parks making Disney more money, and aside from profit the program does recruit future long term cast members to that move up and contribute to the company. Many mangers starting out at CPs and such.
Also I gotta add while I’m kinda jealous future CPs get a nicer housing facility, it will be a bit more expensive than my $106 a week at Chatham, plus I feel the trashy housing was a key part of the CP experience. Future CPs don’t know what they’re missing.
As a DCP alumni from January-June 2022, FCV (from what most people have said) looks pretty on the outside but isn't exactly well built, but I found it comfortable enough for me.
And they also did raise the pay for CPs to ~$14/hr (those who work housekeeping and the Emporium at MK make a little more), not the best pay and I made do with what I had for food at the Super Target the busses go to (the Target up the road is too small and definitely not worth it imo). But for me the experience was what made it for me working in Merchandise at Animal Kingdom at Windtraders and Mombasa, the cast members and leadership I worked with made me actually feel excited to go to work every day. Not to mention how good having Disney smacked on your resume looks once you're done. I definitely enjoyed my experience there and I'd love if I could do it again, just wish we could pick our roles again, when they brought it back you had no choice where they put you, they stick you where they need people and not everyone likes it and some people term from the Program cause of it.
Is the program a scam? Oh yeah I definitely had that in my mind at Traditions but the experience was just so hard for me to pass up.
Great video guys! I did the CRP for Canada back in 2014, and it was honestly the best time of my life! We came into the program with no illusions that at $8.03/hour and $130/week(ish) for housing we weren’t going to become millionaires in the program... But the thing we always kept in mind was that even though we were cash poor, the program would make us so rich in experience!
Come to my house and I’ll play a Disney film and let you clean my bathrooms and take out my trash for $8/h so you can get that warm Disney filling all over again!
@@werewolflover8636 Man, instead of adding zero value with negative CZcams comments why don't you go add positive value to your family and do it yourself?
I was a Fall Advantage 2021 DCP member. After they sent the current CPs home they kept us in the dark forever until they ultimately decided to cancel all the Fall 2021 offers/placements.
Excellent! Incredibly informative.
Hey Luke I’m a cast member and fan of your channel. Have to say that for the past few years myself and my wife (also a cast member) were hoping they would provide a apartment complex like how they are kinda doing at flamingo way just so it would be easier to work more hours.
That was a very cool and personal story. Thanks for sharing. Of all underpaid labor jobs in the world, that sounds like the best.
Fall 2014/Spring 2015 CP here! Sounds like we were there (at least partially) for the same time? :O That's awesome! Goodness gracious they absolutely got my money handed right back to them all the time while I was there... and even after 9 months I STILL didn't get to see everything that I wanted to! The program sure was exhausting sometimes, but it absolutely had some amazingly wonderful moments.
This is the first time that I heard about all of the old CP housing no longer being there! That's so sad and totally blew my mind! Flamingo Crossings looks like it'll be amazing for the DCP community at large, but phew... those individual bedrooms look tiny. :( I hope that there's more to them then what there appears to be! Totally sucks about the housing costs going up though. Ugh! I was already dipping into my savings to afford all of the stuff that I wanted to do during my program... now they wanna up the rent?! Harsh.
I really hope that all of the future CPs can have as much of a fun and magical time as me and my friends did there! It really is an amazing program, even though they absolutely work ya to the bone some days. Great video!
Genuinely really interesting video. You gotta do one on the actual college stuff they do next.
Disney will never go broke.
I had a friend who went to the “Disney Collage Program” about 15 years ago and now I know a little bit more about what that actually means lol
Great video guys! I did the ICP in 2013 (which got me 3 months away from the UK ) and whilst it is an obvious way for Disney to make money I would still happily do it all over again!
You’d be happy to sell fast food or clean their toilets for min-wage? What in the hell did you go to collage for? McDonald’s seems more of a place you should be.
Spring Extension 2020 CP right here! Lots of crying from other cps in the tunnels under MK.
I worked in 2013 and made $8.75 in food and beverage 😂 I lived in Chatham it was only $100 a week then.. we grocery shopped at the Dollar Tree across from Vista Way and frequented the Cicis Pizza. Chick-fil-A used to give a free sandwich with purchase of a meal on like Thursdays?
The hourly wage has gone up to $13/hour.
Housing at Flamingo Crossings is in and around $500 per month.
While I am not DCP, I am dating someone who is. He works full time.
I have toured the grounds at Flamingo Crossings, and have been to a room.
The entire place is absolutely gorgeous.
I was a photographer at MK. Best job I will ever have.
No way! I was at Chatham Square summer 2015
I remember hearing about how much Suzy from game grumps hated the Disney college program
I did the College Program in 2012 and 2013. After my program in 2013, i ended up staying with the company. We were one of the last programs that you were allowed to go Seasonal right away, which is what i did. Doing the program impacted my life in the best way possible
The Disney culinary program (Or DCP) was worth it. Paid full-time wages, and guaranteed hours, rent was cheaper than off property at $440 a month, was even given 9 free tickets and all the extra holiday ones. We weren't paid OT but that just meant more hours for us when the full-timers didn't want to be at work. Having a car is the best way to do it too, as you don't have to wait for busses and you can go anywhere. I made more money during my DCP than as a full time CM, I have people who have paid their tuition for school off by doing this program. It's only a scam if you let it be.
I loved my DCP. One of the first DPI CPs
I know someone in DCP this year and they love it. But yeah, almost every dollar they earn goes back into Disney as rent, program application fees and food.
Loved my DCP, even if I was scammed 😂😍 wish that aussies could do the program twice, I would love to live in flamingo crossing oh my god
I tried to sign up for the College in Anaheim 20 years ago and back then, there was a 3-5 year wait just to be considered. Now, I'm too damn old.
It's never too late to do it. I am about to do it for the second time and I'm 38 years old. They don't have an age limit. As long as you're 18 and over.
I started college in 2020 and although i know the DCP is a bittttt of a scam... i can’t wait till they start the program back up so i can try to get in
I was supposed to do the Fall Advantage 2020, I’m so sad it was canceled. It looks like it will be a long time before they bring it back.
Don't apologize for sneaking your friend inside! Disney never apologized for underpaying you!
I did the DCP same year as you! Also stayed at Vista
Great channel!
Even though it's completely exploitative and literally caused me PTSD flashbacks for a year after my program ended, I don't regret the DCP. It was horrible for my mental health and financial stability, but it was also one of the greatest experiences of my life.
What you just spouted is cult level devotion! It’s down right frightening just how many foolish “educated” young people they’re are!
also to add, disney housing was in corporation with coca cola and was supposed to very low cost /free.
and its now over $100 per person a week, not even in your own room but in a shared room 🙃
So I need to know how you snuck your friend into Disney University...?!?!
Ngl Flamingo Crossings has me debating a 3rd program🤡 (that and being laid off BUT ANYWAYS) Ive drove past it a few times and it’s BEAUTIFUL
I was a part of the Fall 2020 group with my dream role that got cancelled a couple of weeks before it was supposed to happen:( because I’m graduating in the spring, Ill never be able to get to do it ever🥺
Thanks for the info on Flamingo
You guys make such great videos! Keep up the good work. Also, on a side note, where did you find that music in the end credits? I heared it a while ago and was curious as to what it is.
Thanks Lucas for the support! The song is called "Zooming in on You by Wanda Shakes" and we use it as our "Unofficial" theme song, all our music is licensed for usage through Epidemic Sound - Luke
@@ReviewTyme Very interesting. Thank you so much!
from 2025 it was always my plan to do the dcp but now my eligibility for the program will run out before the program comes back. this video makes me feel kind of happy that i wont be doing the dcp and being a part of the double triple quadruple dip of the disney college program profits
Hopefully it comes back soon🤞🏻 I was accepted for Fall 2020 :/
always wanted to try DCP but never really got the chance to
I always wanted to do this program but I found out too late (my last year of college). I know someone who did this though and they loved it so I’m secretly super jealous lol
I love the cp, I'm about to do my third (because my second got canceled like 6 weeks in) but I also know it's a complete scam.
I'm just using it to get my foot back in the door and get back to the company.
rip vista way
I owe my soul to the company store
i love disney with my entire heart but after watching this i’m so glad i backed out of the DCP😬
How do you sneak someone into Disney University especially if he were there banking are going to grab a meal it sneaking in.
Former CP , loved my program!
I miss Vista Lay.
Vista way is the greatest plot of land in orlando
I don't know if you heard but Disney changed the pay from I think $11 to $13/hr!
It's basically an internship. I don't really know of many internships that are much better. internship benefits are all to the mentors or in this case the House of Mouse, the benefit to the participants is the work experience and building a resume for future employment opportunities. If you choose to spend all your money on Disney crap while in the program, that's a choice. I've been to Disney quite a few times and I probably own less than $500 in Disney crap and some of it is stuff that has been given to me, I didn't actually pay for it myself.
Smart idea
