As you may be aware, we made the difficult decision to suspend our programs earlier this year. We have not recruited participants for the upcoming semesters and we are still uncertain about when we will be able to resume our Disney Internships & Programs.
For today’s students who are eager to become part of the magic, we encourage you to connect with DisneyPrograms.com and our social media channels for future updates.
