Where would you want to work at Disney World?

I am going to join the college program in Disney World, and was offered a job as a Merchandise Host. Curious to know, If you could work at Disney world, where would it be?

Ok, I was thinking of just entry level postions, that require no previous skills, training, or talent.

you can intern at WDI...

 

[asics1cc]

According to WDWCOLLEGEPROGRAM.com, you can not intern as a Imaginear. If you have heard different, please post.

Hmm...at least you could a year ago (I know because I applied many times)....I am almost positive you still can..but you need to inquire with WDI directly instead of going thru the usual Disney hiring process...

You know now that I think about it, I believe I have heard something about that. It really does not matter to me anyway. I am a left brain person. (NOT ARTISTIC) hahaha.

LoL...you dont have to be atristic to be an Imagineer...they have a job for EVERYTHING there (from lawyers to librarians to writers etc)...but i am looking for the info on how to become an intern...I'll post the link if/when i do find it

Thanks that would be a great thing, I was under the assumption that imaginears were strictly involved in Developing and Planning of Disney things. If you could post the link, it would be great? I am already commited to Merchandise as of now, but their is always the future.

Imagineers do pretty much everything...its really neat actually. You may want to pick up a book called "Walt Disney Imagineering"..it is written by the magic makers themselves and really goes into detail as exactly what it is they do....

Im still looking for the link

 

[asics1cc]

The good news is, I am working in a library right now. I'll go find the book. Thanks, can't wait to see the link

Cool! you cant miss the book..its rather large and is full of pictures (all in color too)

Update

Bad news... I looked in the catalog here and there is no book here called "Walt Disney Imagineering", is that the name of the book. Or is there a different name. What about an author.

 

[NowInc]

Its written by the Imagineers (thats the author listing)..

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...80595/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_7_1/103-3227723-5725438

Thats the link on amazon...

As always...it was my pleasure

well it's kinda a joke with my parents, cousin and me that I was gonna work at Space Ship earth, being the person who walks backwards loading people into the little car things...But I'm not sure I wanna do that
And the first time my cousin and my brothers had been there, I showed them around the hotel and a little around magic kingdom so they kept calling me tour guide, but I donno if I'd wanna do that either

I'm not sure

Imagineering

I have that book! I love the detail and all of the pictures in it. It sure gives you a wider view on things in Imagineering. My friend who goes to Ringling School of Art and Design, has told me that a person frm Disney came down to talk to the, and she learned of this iternship, as well as the Animation internship. It souns so exciting...I WiSH I had a portion of her talent! She is majoring in Illustration....I have known people wh did the Animation internship, then after graduation went elsewhere....
