My daughter did a Disney internship. She applied while she was still in school but actually went to work after graduation. She loved the internship. She was in the Wild Animal Kingdom. Her first internship she led talks on the animals and the environment. Her second internship was working directly with coordinators which lead to a temporary full time job as a coordinator. She hated Orlando and after 2 1/2 years she and her boyfriend could not pack the truck fast enough to get out of there.

She did not live in the intern housing. She had her own apartment so she was able to separate her social life from her business life.

A friend of mine was a college recruiter until she had her kidlets. She said that when she would go through resumes, greek life and Disney internships were given priority. If you were Greek AND Disney on your resume you would go directly to the top of the pile as you proved you had leadership skills and were willing to give your all to the job.
