International Summer Program?

[IfWeCanDreamIt]

I am a 19 year old Canadian male, looking to participate in the summer program offered to international students. I was wondering if anyone here has done this before. If so, is there any important information or tips that might be helpful to me? I have heard about and considered doing this for a while, but I just decided today that I am willing to take the plunge next summer. It'll be my first summer after my first year in university, and I thought that it would be the perfect time to do something like this. Thanks in advance for any tips/advice !

I've just finished my ICP and loved every second of it. I highly recommend it. However I would offer the following tips:

When you're asked which roles you're willing to do seriously consider each one. I know a lot of people that hated their program because they'd said ok to say QSFB without considering what the role involved.
Remember that it is a summer job not an extended vacation. A lot of ICPs seem to forget that.
It is what you make it. I was based in Merchandise and without going into details there are two ways of looking at your role as an ICP within WDW. Either Disney World is a money making machine and you are a cog or it is a magical place where you create once in a lifetime memories for yourself and others around you. If you think the first is true then you'll have a miserable time but if you agree with the second statement then you'll really enjoy it.

Thanks for the advice! The way I see it, It'll be a rewarding job, with some of the best days off ever.
