    Opportunities for Graduate Students

    I think for the most part even if an internship is listed for undergrads, they will look at grad students too, and, depending on the job, give you work at your skill level. For example, I did a PI in IT at WDW as a grad student, and I learned a ton and picked up many skills. Out of the 11...

    Disney College Program, is it worth it?

    There's no age limit for the College Program, as long as you are currently attending college or have just graduated. Graduate schools count too.

    General questions for CM's

    She will have to be with you as you enter the parks for the first time of the day, and at that time you'll get a park hopper ticket to use for the day. It works like any other ticket for fast pass or going between parks, and she won't have to be with you for you to use it after the first entry.

    where do you start to become an imagineer?

    I went there (graduated in May), and I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone has about the program. It's all about working in small interdisciplinary teams to make really cool stuff :lol: I'd also say to anyone who wants to be an imagineer to think about what part of it you want to do...
