Congratulations, it is almost time for your arrival! We know you may have some questions about figuring out where your work location will be. We wanted to give you a list of helpful acronyms to assist!
First off, all College Program Itineraries will show your Role as Disney College Program and Job Location will show your specific Role/Location.
Example 1: Job Location: The first part is your Role/Line of Business. In this example, 'F&B' is Food and Beverage/Quick-Service
Next, you will see your Park/Resort. In this example, 'EC' is Epcot.
Finally, you have your Area/Location. In this example, 'Festivals' is supporting our Epcot Festivals in the World Showcase and booths in the surrounding areas. Typically this may be an area with multiple locations and you will find out your specific attraction, store, restaurant, etc. when you get to your work area/location.
Example 2: Job Location reads - Role as Recreation, Park/Resort Yacht & Beach Club, and Location Lifeguard.
