My sister did it years ago, and she DID return to college. I think she would also tell you it was one of the most valuable and rewarding experiences of her life (up until getting married and having kids I suppose). Attending the Disney College of Knowledge taught her a lot about how to search for a job practically and professionally. For instance, when Disney tells you to get the cutesy crap off your voicemail, I'd say that's advice worth following.

On the other hand, it is a bit cult-like and I think a person should go in with that in mind. There is also a ridiculous amount of partying (sex, she didn't mention drugs to older sister, but it was kind of implied) at Vista Way. It's kind of like 3 months of spring break, except you have to get up and go to work every day. She worked in a store at MGM studios.

My husband was in the All-American Marching Band and he also has amazing stories to tell. He did NOT go back to college, but that's less about Disney and more about his utter lack of motivation to show up to class. He didn't stay in Orlando but came back to the Midwest to start his life as a rock star.

I would say if a person has the opportunity to do it, they should! But be aware of the potential to get sucked in to a life of near minimum wage and practically living in dorms the rest of your life.
