I'm going to work at Disney World!!

I applied for the Disney college program 2 months ago, and I just heard back today. I got in! I'll be there from January to May, and will be working with Merchandise (Glances at Pony collection..wonder why they gave me this role  )

Can't wait to be surrounded by Disney toys and goodies for 4 months! RIP my bank account though!

Sweet!  Be sure to check out Cast Connections over in the Magic Kingdom Parking Lot.  It's where they sell the old merchandise heavily discounted and the damaged merchandise at 75% off--only for cast members.    I once got a Mulan figurine there and the only thing wrong with her was that she had a pencil mark that came right off!  I know I spent a bunch of money on stuff during my Programs (100 lbs worth according to UPS when I went to ship it home--multiple boxes of course) but if you do it right, you can get everything you want and still come home with money in your account.

Merchandise will be fun.  You'll probably get to wear a pin trading lanyard, too!  Be warned, Pin Trading can be addictive and dangerous to your bank account.

Warning came too late; I've been pin collecting since my first visit at 4 and trading every year I go! I already have quite the collection I can't wait to be to be the cast member trading them and making people happy! I'll definitely be visiting that store!
Thanks everyone!

Congrats! Sounds like it's going to be an experience of a lifetime! 

Staff discounts and pin trading really are amazing and dangerous at the same time lol.

Congrats! I worked at Disney World (in Epcot more specifically) for a few years and I loved it! I live in Orlando very close to Disney World. I made so many friends from all around the world who were part of the Disney College Program. I think you are really going to enjoy it!
