(How to do anything and everything related to the mouse.)

You can never get enough Disney, right? Well I’m about to tell you the many things you can do to make Disney an even bigger part of your life. This is the unlikely-but-completely-do-able guide to making your life as magical as it possibly can be. I’m about to explain every program, job and placement that I can think of related to the Walt Disney Company.

So let’s start from the beginning…

You’ve got yourself a part-time job at the Disney Store and you’re about to head off to University. Working at the Disney Store gives you all the retail experience that will come in handy for when you apply for employment in the future. Not just that, it also allows you to be surrounded by the thing you love the most.

When you’re at University you are eligible to apply for the Cultural Exchange Program. This involves you spending your summer in Florida working at Walt Disney World. You can apply for this as long as you’re a full time student and eligible for a working visa. So, you scoot off in your first year and come back just in time for your second year.

When you reach your second year, like with most courses, it’s time for your placement year. So who do you get a placement with? None other than The Walt Disney Company. There are various placements available to work in London and positions are usually only open to students on their placement year so grab it whilst you’ve got the chance to do it.

After all your hard work studying, it’s finally time to graduate. You now have to start looking for a full time job and it’s obvious what you need to apply for… The Cultural Representative Program. This is where you spend a full year living and working in Florida at Walt Disney World representing your country at the Epcot pavilion. It is a great chance to learn about other cultures whilst teaching others about your own. You will also experience working a full-time position for a year.

When you return, you might not be ready to come back to planet earth just yet. So why not attend an open casting call in London? Here you can audition for dance and look-a-like roles of princesses and characters. Get this and you will be jetting off to Paris to work at Disneyland. Or, you could even apply to work on one of the Disney cruise lines.

Maybe you’ve had enough of moving around for a few years? Perhaps you wanna try out teaching and even go for a TEFL qualification. Well, you might be wondering what this has to do with Disney but I can assure you i’ll come to that.

After two years or so of gaining some valuable experience in the teaching field. You are now eligible to apply for the Teach Disney English program. This involves you moving to China and teaching the English language to children. You will use the art of Disney storytelling and spend 12 to 15 months living in China.

Finally, you return home and live happily ever after…or at least I hope so.

And, i’m sure there are plenty of other jobs out there for you to work when you do arrive home. There are a lot of  other jobs related to Disney that I haven’t mentioned. These might be full time positions that pop up whenever available, so always keep an eye on their website.

So, maybe that’s enough Disney? If it isn’t, you might have to consider relocating to Florida.

N.B: This is just a silly guide I’ve written involving all the Disney related things I can think of. Most of the programs are highly competitive to secure a place on and so the chances of you doing all of these are very slim. I do encourage you to go for it though, it would make for a pretty interesting adventure.
