International college programme
- Thread starter WigglyWiggins
- Start date
i have a feeling this will be moved to the employment board, but here's some info..
the international program is used primarily to staff World Showcase and DAK throughout the year, as well as to supplement other areas such as Guest Relations. Coming from the UK, the only visa you'd be eligible to receive would be a "traditional attire" visa, which would basically mean you wouldn't be able to work anywhere except World Showcase.
WDW traditionally send recruiters to universities in London, Liverpool, Edinburgh, and Cardiff, as well as 1 or 2 others

email me @ mktiggerman@aol.com with what specifics you'd like to know.. all i need to know is what country you're from
You should also check out www.wdwip.com - it is a site for Walt Disney World International Programs. The information there will help you apply for the UK program, and the discussion board is filled with current CM's and alumn's to answer your questions. I'm going as part of the Canadian program at the end of May. If you have any specific questions, feel free to send me a note.
Good luck!

P.S. The International Program is different than the College Program. There are no seminars or classes in the IP, and you don't get college credit for being a part of it. In fact, most people in the program do it before going to university, or after they have already graduated - like me!
Good luck!

I havea friend from Mexico who was studying in the US and did the College Program! I´m not sure which visa he had though...
Check www.wdwip.com and www.geocities.com/wearefellowship for some links to other sites for international programs. Being from UK as you said, you will only be able to work in that pavillion either in merchandising or in Food and Beverage at the Rose and Crown Pub. You will live with the rest of the internationals at the Commons or Chatham Square apartments. A lot of fun! The visa you will be issued is a Q-1 visa that has a lot of restrictions and it´s known as the "Disney visa"
Disney usually recruits in the countries twice a year. You can send your resume to casting and they will let you know when the interviews are in your country. However, I think there are some agencies that do that for Disney in each country, and I´m pretty sure you will find the one for your area in wdwip.com Good luck! :animwink:
