I have to brag a bit...

Post by Monica »

My oldest niece has been trying to get accepted into the Disney college program for 4 years, and she got accepted for the fall 2020 class! :cool5: :cool5: They have the option of being at Disneyland or Walt Disney World, and she's opted for Florida. it's called the fall class, but it runs from May to January, so we've got time to plan a trip to see her. As part of the curriculum she'll be working at the park, there will be (I think) dorm rooms for them to live in, and when she's finished she can either be hired to work for Disney or move onto something else. It's one of those unique experiences that they only offer to a limited number of people, and I'm stoked that she finally got in and will be fulfilling a dream.

How exciting! My water aerobics instructor did this and during summers off from her classes at UNC, she was "friends with" Mickey and Minnie at WDW. Your niece should get some perks she can share with friends and family - maybe not until she's an employee though.
I know you have to be proud of her! Rightly so!

One of eldest's friends did this and she ended up working for WDW as Snow White for several years.

That's great Monica.

My niece Sierra had that opportunity as well at Disney World.

Great opportunity.

Sounds like a really good deal.
Who wouldn't want to live at Disney World.

I'm not really sure, Elizabeth. It's been a while since she showed me the stuff about it, to be honest.
