As a Disney College Program participant, you'll find that flexibility is the key to your program! Our program participants must be available to work full time in our theme parks, resorts and other operations areas.
When You Should Expect To Work
All College Program participants must have full work availability, which includes being able to work days, nights, weekends, holidays, and overtime. Shifts can be scheduled any time of day, including early morning or after midnight.Hours
The range of hours participants can be scheduled varies between peak and non-peak periods. If participants are enrolled in one of the Disney Education Courses, or have registered a distance learning course with our Education office, they will be scheduled 30 to 45 hours per week during non-peak periods.If they are not participating in any learning component, they will be scheduled 30 to 50 hours per week during non-peak periods.
During certain program arrival periods (generally January, May, and August), participants who are not enrolled in any learning component may be scheduled more than 50 hours per week.
During peak periods (which generally occur during holiday weeks), all participants may be scheduled more than 45 hours per week. Please note that Disney Education Courses do not meet during peak periods.
